The term “data fabric” is used across the tech industry, yet its definition and implementation can vary. I have seen this across vendors: in autumn last year, British Telecom (BT) talked about their data fabric at an analyst event; meanwhile, in storage, NetApp has been re-orienting their brand to intelligent infrastructure but was previously using the term. Application platform vendor Appian has a data fabric product, and database provider MongoDB has also been talking about data fabrics and similar ideas. At its core, a data fabric is a unified architecture that abstracts and integrates disparate data sources to create a…
At Cisco, we’ve been redesigning and modernizing our offices over the last few years, rebalancing the composition of space to reflect how the purpose of the workplace has evolved. Today, the office is no longer just a place to get work done. It’s a destination for in-person collaboration, problem solving, career development and mentorship, and even for a stronger connection to the company culture. But everyone’s days are dynamic and while they may go into the office to take part in one of these activities with colleagues, it is unlikely the only thing they’re going to do while there. If employees can’t find spaces to focus, take a private call, or simply pause and reset during a busy day, the perceived value of going in drops, and they’ll seek other ways and places to connect with their…
Posted by Jeff Vander Stoep, Android Last year, we wrote about why a memory safety strategy that focuses on vulnerability prevention in new code quickly yields durable and compounding gains. This year we look at how this approach isn’t just fixing things, but helping us move faster. The 2025 data continues to validate the approach, with memory safety vulnerabilities falling below 20% of total vulnerabilities for the first time. Updated data for 2025. This data covers first-party and third-party (open source) code changes to the Android platform across C, C++, Java, Kotlin, and Rust. This post is published a couple…
When Andhra Pradesh began helping millions of farmers switch to Zero-Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), the world paid attention. The scale was huge — six million farmers across almost every district. But the method was even more surprising. Instead of using chemical fertilizers or pesticides, ZBNF builds a full farming system using simple, natural tools. Farmers rely on fermented mixtures, thick mulching, mixed crops, and strong soil biology. But this leads to a big question: How does something so large actually work in daily farm life? The answer shows one of the most inspiring and practical agroecology transformations happening anywhere in…
One of the modifiers that always puzzled me a bit was .aspectRatio. How does it really work? Once I figured it out, it turned out to be simpler than I thought. One place where we can find out a lot about how SwiftUI works is SwiftUI’s .swiftinterface file. This is located inside of Xcode. Inside your Terminal, go to /Applications/Xcode.app, and perform the following command: find . -path “*/SwiftUI\.framework*swiftinterface” There are a few variants of the .aspectRatio API, but they all boil down to a single implementation: func aspectRatio(_ aspectRatio: CGFloat?, contentMode: ContentMode) -> some View { } The variant…
– Advertisement -Artificial intelligence (AI), solar panel augmentation, and a significantly shorter time to market are all features of new battery-operated video camera systems. A Talaria TWOTM Ultra-low power (ULP) Wi-Fi optimised market-ready solution for cloud-connected IP video IoT devices was introduced by InnoPhase IoT, Inc., a semiconductor firm specialising in ultra-low power Wi-Fi IoT solutions. There is a growing market for low-power, long-lasting wireless video cameras that are not constrained by positioning, wiring, or frequent battery changes. OEMs and ODMs are introducing new categories of video devices with designs that use solar technology and artificial intelligence (AI) as key…

I generally like using Redmagic phones; they always have outlandish designs, incredible performance, and innovative cooling solutions. I reviewed the Redmagic 10S Pro just six months ago, and the brand is now detailing its latest flagship, the Redmagic 11 Pro.Redmagic didn’t change too much with the design of the phone, but there’s a novel new addition: liquid cooling. The Redmagic 11 Pro has the distinction of being the…
Harnessing nanoscale defects in atomically thin chromiteen, researchers have built a bendable device that produces volts from ocean waves. Study: Strain-induced wave energy harvesting using atomically thin chromiteen. Image Credit: Vallabh Soni/Shutterstock.com Researchers have shown how atomically thin chromiteen, derived from naturally defect-rich chromite ore, can convert the gentle motion of ocean waves into electrical energy through strain-induced surface charge modulation. Their findings, published in Nanoscale, reveal a flexible, corrosion-resistant nanogenerator designed for marine environments. 2D materials have long attracted attention for energy harvesting because of their exceptional electronic and mechanical properties. Chromiteen, a layered form of FeCr2O4, stands out for…
In recent years, the world has seen millions of software development projects being migrated overseas. In 2023, according to Forbes, companies spent an average of about $132 billion on software outsourcing, with more than one-third of IT-related tasks (around 37%) conducted by external providers. Meanwhile, it is noted that this is not a forced measure related to the global crisis, but rather a growing trend: business process outsourcing is projected to reach $620 billion by 2032. There may be many reasons for this phenomenon, but normally, companies worldwide transfer projects due to certain financial needs and to avoid excessive hiring.…
Build Cloud-native Applications That Run AnywherePress enter or click to view image in full sizeSource: MicrosoftICYMI (In case you missed it); two weeks ago was Microsoft’s Build event! The yearly event is a chance for developers to learn new things that are going on in technology. The reason I love listening to these types of events is because it gets you excited about the happenings in the industry.One of the talks that stood out to me was on the challenges that modern developers face like needing to move from concept, to code, to cloud seamlessly. Needing this type of agility,…
