WATERLOO, ON, April 10, 2026 — Preseem, a leading provider of network quality management solutions for internet service providers, will host the first-ever Proactive ISP Virtual Summit, a free event taking place May 5-6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern each day. The summit’s theme, “AI in Action“, reflects a focused, practical examination of how artificial intelligence is transforming broadband operations for regional and rural ISPs right now. Designed as an annual gathering for the people who run regional internet networks, the Proactive ISP Virtual Summit brings together ISP executives, network engineers, NOC directors, and customer experience leaders alongside voices from the broader…

Are you wondering if your age disqualifies you from the artificial intelligence sector?  The answer is a definitive no. It is absolutely not too late to start learning AI and machine learning in your 30s or 40s. In fact, your age and existing professional background give you a massive advantage. Companies are actively searching for mature professionals who can bridge the gap between complex algorithms and real-world business outcomes. This article explains exactly why your mid-career status is a highly sought-after asset. We will cover the immediate advantages you hold, the specific roles hiring right now, and the exact steps…

Validating Kafka configurations before production deployment can be challenging. In this post, we introduce the workload simulation workbench for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) Express Broker. The simulation workbench is a tool that you can use to safely validate your streaming configurations through realistic testing scenarios. Solution overview Varying message sizes, partition strategies, throughput requirements, and scaling patterns make it challenging for you to predict how your Apache Kafka configurations will perform in production. The traditional approaches to test these variables create significant barriers: ad-hoc testing lacks consistency, manual set up of temporary clusters is time-consuming and…

Image from: Aerps.com (Unsplash) Claude is down again, and users are once more left staring at loading prompts and missing replies. The Anthropic chatbot has had repeated disruptions this week, interrupting workflows and raising eyebrows among regular users. On April 8, users encountered another round of errors and incomplete responses, just a day after a separate outage affected access to the chatbot. While Anthropic now reports systems are operational, incident logs show multiple disruptions between April 6 and 8, pointing to ongoing reliability challenges as usage grows. Model errors trigger repeated disruptions According to The Independent, Anthropic said users experienced…

Hackers linked to Russia’s military intelligence units are using known flaws in older Internet routers to mass harvest authentication tokens from Microsoft Office users, security experts warned today. The spying campaign allowed state-backed Russian hackers to quietly siphon authentication tokens from users on more than 18,000 networks without deploying any malicious software or code. Microsoft said in a blog post today it identified more than 200 organizations and 5,000 consumer devices that were caught up in a stealthy but remarkably simple spying network built by a Russia-backed threat actor known as “Forest Blizzard.” How targeted DNS requests were redirected at…

While there is relief at last night’s ceasefire in the US-Israel war with Iran, today’s commentators continue to warn of ongoing uncertainty for fuel supplies and prices; but in the long run, will it be shortages of fertiliser and the knock-on effect on our food security that affect Britain the most in the economic fall-out of the war? Cutting fertiliser use has never made more sense, writes Vicki Hird, strategic lead on agriculture, The Wildlife Trusts. Keys facts: According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, about a third of the global seaborne trade in fertilisers pass through the Strait of Hormuz.1 Essential components of fertiliser like urea and ammonia are made with energy-intensive production processes including gas. This means that,…

Learn how to make rounded corners for UIImageView items wrapped inside collection view cells, with rotation support. Circular cells inside a collection viewAchieving the goal is relatively easy, but if you don’t know what’s going on in the background it’s going to be harder than you would think first. So let’s create a new project add a storyboard with a UICollectionViewController, drag a UIImageView inside the cell, resize it, add some constraints, set the cell identifier.It should look something like the image above. Nothing special just a simple UI for our example application. Now search for some random image, add…

Machines on factory floors are not physical tools. Many are now connected and monitored in real time. The next step goes further: creating digital versions of those machines that can be tested and analysed without affecting the real asset.Digital twins are starting to play a larger role on factory floors. From basic tracking to simulation, digital twins are becoming part of day-to-day operations for companies managing large fleets of equipment. Firms like LG CNS are working in this space by combining IoT data with software platforms to build virtual models.Many industrial firms began their digital journey with asset tracking. Sensors…

We’re living in an era where anyone can be a creator. As mobile phones make it effortless to capture high-quality video, what was once for professionals has become part of everyday life. Samsung Electronics has independently developed the APV (Advanced Professional Video) codec, a technology designed to enable high-quality video editing and has released it as open source. The codec made its debut on Galaxy S26 Ultra launched in March, setting a new benchmark for mobile video creation. By preserving image quality while minimizing loss throughout the editing process, APV enables more precise, professional-grade video production. Samsung Newsroom sat down…

Revealing how copper atoms shift under heat offers a blueprint for engineering materials with precisely controlled expansion Wavy layers (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Long Quattro) Most materials expand when heated because increased atomic vibrations push atoms slightly farther apart. However, some unusual materials, such as α‑Cu₂V₂O₇, instead shrink when heated, a phenomenon known as negative thermal expansion. Although this behaviour had been observed before, its underlying mechanism was not well understood. In this study, the researchers examined α‑Cu₂V₂O₇ from 5 K to 800 K using neutron diffraction, synchrotron X‑ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and first‑principles calculations. They found that the material exhibits three distinct…
