Posted by Ash Nohe and Amrit Sanjeev, Android Developer Relations EngineersPracticing gratitude may decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve mental health and life satisfaction1. Consistent gratitude practice may lead to sustained improvements that last months2. The mindfulness app Gratitude encourages consistency through micro daily journaling, affirmations, and vision boards. The app has over 6 million downloads, 150 thousand 5-star ratings, and 100 million journal entries logged. Developers Divij Gupta and Narendra Aanjna developed widgets for each of their app’s core user journeys. Their goal was to meet users in their everyday moments without requiring the overhead of a…

A stainless steel breakthrough from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) could help solve one of the biggest problems facing green hydrogen: how to build electrolyzers that are tough enough for seawater, yet cheap enough for large scale clean energy. Led by Professor Mingxin Huang in HKU’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, the team developed a special stainless steel for hydrogen production (SS-H2). The material resists corrosion under conditions that normally push stainless steel past its limits, making it a promising candidate for producing hydrogen from seawater and other harsh electrolyzer environments. The discovery, reported in Materials Today in the study…

Birol Yildiz, CEO and co-founder of iLert, joins host Kanchan Shringi to explore how iLert built an AI SRE — an autonomous agent for handling production incidents — and what the experience revealed about building AI agents in the real world. Birol explains why incident response is a fundamentally agentic problem, where the unpredictability of novel incidents makes rule-based runbooks insufficient and reasoning models essential. He describes how the AI SRE evolved from an early browser-based approach to its current architecture, built around two key ingredients: reasoning models and the Model Context Protocol. The conversation examines the four layers of…

Your people are your weakness The data tells its own story. OC explains: Employees account for 57% of all security incidents and 45% of these incidents come when workers bypass or ignore security policies by, for example, using unapproved tools.  Attackers are actively searching for and exploiting those kinds of policy workarounds, seeking weaknesses in commonly used, but unapproved, tools. Users really should educate themselves. While companies can put some mitigations in place using device management and policy controls to constrain app use and downloads across their endpoints, Apple is also working to keep systems secure with a focus on the…

When Ana Inês Inácio goes to work at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) in The Hague, she thinks about signals most people never notice: radio waves moving between satellites, sensors, and future wireless networks.The integrated circuits the research scientist designs lay the foundation for next-generation RF sensor systems critical to advancing radar technologies.

16 Telenor said the platform will operate from nationally controlled data centers in Norway and will remain separated from commercial global cloud environments In sum – what to know: Sovereign cloud – Telenor is creating a standalone Norwegian cloud company focused on national control, security, and regulatory compliance. Local control – The platform will operate from Norwegian data centers with data stored and managed under Norwegian jurisdiction. Critical sectors – Initial deployments will target public sector organizations and industries including healthcare and energy. Nordic operator Telenor is establishing a new sovereign cloud company in Norway as governments and enterprises across…

Recently, we showed how to use torch for wavelet analysis. A member of the family of spectral analysis methods, wavelet analysis bears some similarity to the Fourier Transform, and specifically, to its popular two-dimensional application, the spectrogram. As explained in that book excerpt, though, there are significant differences. For the purposes of the current post, it suffices to know that frequency-domain patterns are discovered by having a little “wave” (that, really, can be of any shape) “slide” over the data, computing degree of match (or mismatch) in the neighborhood of every sample. With this post, then, my goal is two-fold.…

Key Takeaways Legacy on-premises CCM systems are widening the gap between what your communications infrastructure can do and what your business actually needs. Cloud CCM migration doesn’t have to be disruptive — a phased approach lets you modernize at your own pace without sacrificing governance or compliance. Organizations on cloud CCM are seeing real results: millions in annual savings, faster regulatory response, and stronger compliance posture. There’s a pattern we see again and again in regulated industries: organizations that have spent years (sometimes decades) building customer communications infrastructure on legacy, on-premises systems suddenly find themselves stuck. Not because the technology…

An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States today, after a cybercrime group defaced the service’s login page with a ransom demand that threatened to leak data from 275 million students and faculty across nearly 9,000 educational institutions. A screenshot shared by a reader showing the extortion message that was shown on the Canvas login page today. Canvas parent firm Instructure responded to today’s defacement attacks by disabling the platform, which is used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses to manage coursework…

Europe’s ageing water infrastructure is under increasing pressure from climate-related flooding, water stress and pollution. Europe faces growing long-term risks as flooding, water scarcity and pollution increasingly converge across the continent, according to a new analysis from engineering and architecture consultancy Sweco. The report, Too much, too little, too polluted, warns that climate-driven weather extremes, ageing infrastructure and declining water quality are creating costs and vulnerabilities that are not fully reflected in current pricing systems or investment decisions. Drawing on European data and Sweco’s engineering and architectural analysis, the report states that around 20% of Europe’s land and 30% of…
