For years, we gave out a handful of items to people attending our in-person courses. Things like notebooks, Planning Poker cards, and a few bits of Mountain Goat gear. We always liked seeing how much people enjoyed them. And now that we no longer run public in-person classes, we’ve made some of those items available to buy directly. We’ve priced everything to make it easy to pick up a few, whether that’s for yourself or your team. What’s Available Here are a few of the items currently in stock: Stainless Steel Tumblers We have both 30 oz and 20 oz…

I recently spoke with a solo-practitioner attorney who told me she had “implemented Artificial Intelligence (AI) everywhere.” Given how aggressively the legal industry cheerleaders are pushing AI-led transformation, I expected something sophisticated, perhaps an agentic system handling contract negotiations or a custom-trained legal model. Instead, she described something far simpler:  Gemini to draft emails and summarize contracts   NotebookLM to organize expert testimonies  ChatGPT to help write blog posts   That was it. No agents. No orchestration layers. No “AI platforms.”  Reach out to discuss this topic in depth.  And yet, she told me it was saving her enormous amounts of time, which if you are a solo practitioner, is the single most valuable commodity. When I asked why she started there, the answer was blunt: “Because it was easy to…

A demand signal drops. A supplier goes dark. A competitor cuts prices. Your planning system gives you a dashboard. What you actually need is a decision in minutes, not weeks. That’s the gap SAP and DataRobot are closing together. Enterprise planning is undergoing a fundamental shift. For decades, organizations have relied on structured planning cycles, quarterly forecasts, annual budgets, and periodic scenario analysis. But in today’s environment of constant disruption, that model is no longer enough. Businesses don’t just need better plans, they need the ability to sense, reason, and act in real time. SAP recognizes this shift. SAP’s Enterprise…

Password resets are often the first response to a suspected compromise. It makes sense; resetting credentials is a quick way to cut off an attacker’s most obvious path back in. However, that doesn’t always completely solve the issue. In both Active Directory (AD) and hybrid Entra ID environments, password changes do not immediately invalidate the old credential across every authentication path. Even a short window is an opportunity that potentially allows attackers to maintain access or re-establish a foothold. For security architects and IT administrators, this gap has real implications during incident response. The password reset gap Windows systems cache…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. The law of unintended consequences is working overtime at the White House, now that the Iran War has sparked a global fuel crisis of epic proportions. As a result, the cost gap between petroleum products and renewable alternatives has suddenly tightened up. Among other markets, leading to a sudden surge in demand for alternative fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The Long Road Of SAF Is Getting Shorter The global aviation industry has been poking around the fringes of SAF since the early 2000s, with little to show. Although algae…

I’m trying to add Shadow to the Border of the UIButton, but it is not working. Shadow should as seen in image, but actual requirement is like UIButton will be in clear background, and shadow around border. So how can I achieve it? class GlowButton: UIButton { private let borderGlowLayer = CAShapeLayer() override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame) setup() } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: coder) setup() } private func setup() { backgroundColor = .clear layer.masksToBounds = false clipsToBounds = false borderGlowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor borderGlowLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor borderGlowLayer.lineWidth = 2.5 borderGlowLayer.shadowOffset = .zero borderGlowLayer.shadowRadius = 0 borderGlowLayer.shadowOpacity = 0 borderGlowLayer.masksToBounds…

The surveillance infrastructure tracking American drivers has grown far more sophisticated than most people realize. What began as simple plate-logging technology has evolved into AI systems capable of identifying faces, flagging unusual travel patterns and building detailed movement profiles — all without the knowledge of the people being watched. Companies such as Flock Safety now operate in communities across 49 states, and their data is accessible to thousands of law enforcement agencies, including federal immigration enforcement, according to civil liberties groups. State legislatures are among the few institutions actively writing rules around how these systems can be used, and what…
