My next hobby project – dare I say called it a “vibe project”? – will be a tool to help me split color-assorted piles of LEGO parts into their constituting sets. Before I get started there are some philosophical considerations to make.Update Nov 28th: Guided Video Tour of the App First lets look at the problem. I bought 2 used LEGO collections in the past and enjoyed the detective process of finding out which sets these parts came from. I developed a strategy to first wash the parts and then split them by color. From stickers, minifigures or unique parts…

Introduction In today’s highly connected modern world, Internet of Things (IoT) devices are transforming how we interact with our homes, offices, and industries. Smart technology now extends from homes to cars and industrial equipment. Controlling these devices remotely is essential and offers improved productivity, user experience, and risk management. This blog explores how to send remote commands to AWS IoT devices securely and effectively. Sending remote actions to IoT devices is a key requirement in building smart solutions. Remote commands enable users, operators, and technicians to control, monitor, and manage devices from distant locations. Users can initiate near real-time actions,…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityI usually like to stick to brand-agnostic Android apps since I switch between manufacturers pretty often. I chase the best hardware at the best price, which has made me particularly frustrated about software-focused launches in recent years.However, over the past year I’ve gained more of an appreciation of good software. This is partly due to my experience with a phone that forces split notifications, as well as how impressed I was with my experience of Samsung’s One UI 8.In fact, three pre-installed Samsung apps have impressed me so much that I honestly wish more brands would…

Owing to their unique properties, metallic therapeutic agents for cancer have over the years garnered considerable scientific interest among the multiple options available. Compared to their organic counterparts, these metallic drugs have demonstrated a greater diversity in their functions and mechanisms of action. For instance, they were reported to disrupt the homeostasis of metal ions in tumor cells and modulate the tumor immune microenvironment [1], [2], [3], [4]. Owing to the aforementioned attributes, multiple clinically approved metallodrugs, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin have been employed in treating various cancers [5], [6]. However, these agents have been associated with deleterious side…

Agentic AI systems can be amazing – they offer radical new ways to build software, through orchestration of a whole ecosystem of agents, all via an imprecise conversational interface. This is a brand new way of working, but one that also opens up severe security risks, risks that may be fundamental to this approach. We simply don’t know how to defend against these attacks. We have zero agentic AI systems that are secure against these attacks. Any AI that is working in an adversarial environment—and by this I mean that it may encounter untrusted training data or input—is vulnerable to…

Flavia Saldanha, a consulting data engineer, joins host Kanchan Shringi to discuss the evolution of data engineering from ETL (extract, transform, load) and data lakes to modern lakehouse architectures enriched with vector databases and embeddings. Flavia explains the industry’s shift from treating data as a service to treating it as a product, emphasizing ownership, trust, and business context as critical for AI-readiness. She describes how unified pipelines now serve both business intelligence and AI use cases, combining structured and unstructured data while ensuring semantic enrichment and a single source of truth. She outlines key components of a modern data stack,…

Women’s soccer is becoming hugely popular, with fans breaking records in viewership and attendance, but unlike sponsors and investors, sportsbooks have yet to fully follow. As the industry continues to prove of interest to many, it’s providing sportsbook operators with the opportunity to thrive in a growing market, but are they slowly turning their attention to the sport? Or leaving it behind? The betting industry may be lagging behind fans and sponsors. In the sporting world, men’s soccer has long dominated in many countries around the world, but this growth could provide the chance for operators to accelerate their investment into…

“Most organizations running WINS today probably aren’t actively using it for anything critical. They’ve just never had a compelling reason to turn it off,” he said. “It’s been quietly replicating in the background, consuming minimal resources, causing no obvious problems. That’s the nature of legacy infrastructure: It persists not because it’s needed, but because removing it requires effort and carries risk, while leaving it alone is free,” said Wright. WINS is a security risk WINS had major design limitations that made it a security risk, said Wright. “WINS has no mechanism to verify the legitimacy of name registrations, which makes…

The timing of Nokia’s announcements last week about continuing European reductions and increasing US investments is awkward – and raises questions, perhaps, when considered with parallel EU calls in Germany and France, where it is cutting jobs, for home-made sovereign EU infrastructure.  In sum – what to know: EU cuts and a US pivot – Nokia notified hundreds of R&D staff in Germany and France of redundancies just days before announcing a major restructure in New York and a $4 billion investment into US R&D and manufacturing. Geopolitics and sovereignty – notionally, the timing jars with political calls in Berlin…
