As Internet of Things (IoT) devices become increasingly pervasive in the home, device owners often find the need to grant fine-grained access to multiple users. AWS IoT Core enables developers to build applications with fine-grained access control across mobile apps, web apps, and devices. For example, IoT enables personalized experiences in smart spaces and hotels, where smart devices can adjust lighting, temperature, and entertainment based on user preferences, while allowing guests to control their environment via mobile apps without admin access. In this blog post, AWS customer CHEF iQ tells their story and how they evolved the architecture of the…

Apple clearly needs some way of distinguishing the upcoming low-cost MacBook from the more expensive MacBook Air. We’d wondered whether color might be sufficient to limit cannibalization, but it’s been suggested that the new machine may have a number of compromises. 9to5Mac readers aren’t really the target market for an entry-level machine, but some might consider it as a second Mac, while others might recommend it to family and friends. However, would any of the rumoured compromises be a deal-breaker … ? While some might be dismissive of a MacBook powered by an iPhone chip, we’ve already noted that is…

In the 1950s, many in the elite running community had begun to believe it wasn’t possible to run a mile in less than four minutes. Runners had been attempting it since the late 19th century and were beginning to draw the conclusion that the human body simply wasn’t built for the task.  Article Continues Below But on May 6, 1956, Roger Bannister took everyone by surprise. It was a cold, wet day in Oxford, England—conditions no one expected to lend themselves to record-setting—and yet Bannister did just that, running a mile in 3:59.4 and becoming the first person in the…

President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs last year had been supposed to change everything — as companies retaliated against new tariffs, economists predicted, prices would soar and the US economy would plunge into recession.The Supreme Court recently declared those tariffs unconstitutional. As Trump scrambles to reimpose them, though, the news raised a question: Did economists get it wrong the first time around?Ben Harris, the vice president and director of economic studies at the Brookings Institution and a former assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy in the Biden administration, says economists underestimated our complicated economic system.“My guess is that if you…

Despite fierce competition from other Chinese brands, Xiaomi has become one of the most prolific contenders in the smartphone industry with handsets that go above and beyond to provide outstanding value to consumers, often putting companies more familiar in the West, like Apple and Samsung, to shame.

The best thing to know about these devices is that while…

Samsung Electronics and Orange Group, one of Europe’s leading telecommunications operators, today announced an expanded partnership, entering the next phase of their virtualized RAN (vRAN) and Open RAN projects in Europe.

As organizations plan their defenses for the immediate future, 51% of businesses rank cybersecurity attacks and breaches as the top risk to their performance in 2026.  At the same time, the ratio of cybersecurity spending to financial losses is staggering; while global spending was $185 billion in 2024 against $9.22 trillion in losses, this gap is projected to increase to 68 times by 2030, with $262 billion in spending versus $18 trillion in losses.  This stark financial reality shows that traditional defense mechanisms are no longer sufficient. In this blog, we will focus on AI for Cybersecurity, defensive strategies, risk…
