For years, the “Amazon effect” has shaped customer expectations in the consumer world. Realtime updates. Seamless experiences. Total transparency from order to delivery and beyond. Now, that expectation has crossed over into every industrial context. Whether it’s a plant manager, a maintenance technician, dealers, or sales teams, the question is starting to sound very familiar: “Why can’t I see and control my assets the way I track a package?” The One Feature Customers Want Most If there’s one “Amazon-like” feature customers in industrial environments are asking for most often today, it’s visibility and control. More specifically: Realtime visibility into equipment…

Brady Snyder / Android AuthorityAI assistants are dime a dozen nowadays, so picking the best option can be a case of trial and error. Many readers, including my colleagues, usually narrow the options down to three powerful and popular options: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. But which one of these three do you, as the consumer, use the most?My colleague Shimul Sood recently looked at these big hitters in a feature article, and she believes one in particular leads the other two in terms of usability and functionality. Do readers agree? We asked you to pick your champion in a poll,…

Chasing power, not just latency Historically, data centers were built where the “eyeballs” were to minimize latency. AI has flipped that script. We are seeing a massive shift in data center geography toward “power-rich zones.” As Phill notes, the industry is currently treating AI like the first industrial revolution—utilizing every available inch of warehouse space until new “factories” can be built. Today, data centers are built wherever sustainable power is available. It is now often cheaper to trench hundreds of miles of fiber to a power source than to wait for a utility company to build new transmission lines. Engineering…

Every LLM deployment has a ceiling, a latency curve, and a unit cost. Most teams operate blindly, discovering their deployment limits only when over-provisioning exhausts their GPU budget or peak traffic causes a catastrophic failure. Three numbers matter: maximum sustained concurrency before GPU saturation, end-to-end latency at that concurrency, and cost per million tokens at sustained load. These metrics emerge from how the model interacts with your hardware, runtime, tokenizer, and traffic mix. DataRobot 11.8 changes that with LLM Profiling Jobs: a native integration of NVIDIA AIPerf, the industry-standard generative AI benchmarking tool. One authenticated POST benchmarks any DataRobot LLM…

Every year, healthcare organizations pay an average of $10.1 million to recover from a data breach, a figure that reflects governance failure as much as technical failure. When patient records are inaccurate, siloed, or inadequately protected, the consequences extend beyond the server room: they reach the clinical encounter, where incomplete or incorrect data contributes to misdiagnoses, treatment errors, and preventable harm. For healthcare CIOs and IT operators, data governance is not a back-office concern. It is a patient safety imperative. Governance as a Patient Safety Issue, Not Just an IT Problem Healthcare organizations collectively generate approximately 30% of the world’s…

A New Chapter for DevNet Sandbox Beginning August 1st, the current Sandbox platform will temporarily transition offline as we build something entirely new from the ground up, a platform designed to deliver a more focused, seamless, and compelling experience for developers at every stage of their journey. We are aiming to have DevNet Sandbox back online early 2027. Since its launch in 2014, the DevNet Sandbox has been a trusted resource for developers worldwide, providing hands-on access to Cisco technologies for learning, prototyping, and innovation. After more than a decade of serving our vibrant developer community, we’re excited to announce…

Microsoft says an ongoing incident is preventing users of its Teams collaboration platform and Office for the web cloud-based productivity suite from opening files. “We’re investigating reports that some users are unable to open files in Office for the web or Microsoft Teams,” the company’s Microsoft 365 Status tweeted earlier. According to further information shared in the admin center under MO1329446, this issue impacts multiple Office Apps, including Microsoft Excel for the web. “Users may be unable to open files in Office for the web. Impacted Office Apps include, but are not limited to Excel, PowerPoint,” Microsoft added. “When users…

Storing clean water is a simple household decision with broader environmental impacts. The tanks, bottles, and containers people use can either minimise or increase waste in land, rivers, and oceans. Environmentally friendly water storage helps maintain higher water quality and reduces the amount of harmful materials. Several of the existing storage products feature plastics, coatings that fail, or materials that will wear out as waste. Improved alternatives facilitate cleaner production, longer use, and even recycling of aluminium, thereby reducing the pressure on natural resources. By reducing the need to discard storage products when they expire, products will have a longer…
