Life after retirement often brings a mix of calm, curiosity, and new possibilities. Many people step into this stage looking for comfort and stability while still wanting room to explore. A comfortable future usually grows out of simple habits and thoughtful planning rather than dramatic changes. Comfort during retirement depends on several elements working together. A reliable financial plan supports confidence. A balanced lifestyle brings a sense of ease. Supportive relationships, meaningful activities, and practical home choices also play a major role. Setting Clear Expectations for Your New Chapter Many retirees enter this period with excitement, though it can help…
AI adoption is accelerating, and it comes with a surge in bandwidth demand, low-latency requirements, and operational complexity. For broadband service providers, the pressure is increasing as video analytics, generative AI (GenAI) agents, immersive applications, and enterprise automation reshape network traffic patterns. The Cisco Agile Services Networking and Cisco Unified Edge platforms were built to help providers meet these challenges. They create scalable, service-centric, AI-ready foundations that help reduce network strain, enable differentiated services, and support sustainable revenue growth. Figure 1: A sample network architecture with Cisco Routed PON used in the access network—one of the many Agile Services Networking solutions that teams can implement to deliver quality customer experiences while controlling costs Reducing backhaul demand with local AI processing Many AI workloads, especially inferencing, originate at the network edge: cameras, sensors, Wi-Fi devices, enterprise applications, and…
The healthcare industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented transformation. The expansion of virtual health solutions, cloud-based apps and AI-enabled tools used within clinical workflows will only increase as Federal funding programs like the Rural Health Transformation Program incentivize digital transformation. This evolution in care delivery is long awaited and much needed in order for healthcare to become more scalable and to help drive down operational costs. However, the rapid adoption of technology can present a potentially dangerous paradox- as organizations modernize to support operational efficiency and empower clinicians to improve patient outcomes, they are simultaneously expanding their attack surface.…
The opinions expressed here by Trellis expert contributors are their own, not those of Trellis. A risk that the sustainability field isn’t talking about enough is algorithmic greenwashing. This is when AI tools trained on decades of corporate sustainability communications reproduce the language of greenwashing as an emergent property of their training data. We know because we built an AI agent for nature and biodiversity and watched it happen in real time. Through our work leading the United Nations Global Compact’s Think Lab on Nature and Biodiversity, we observed a pattern: the barrier to business action isn’t a lack of…
Whether you want to run some risky experiments with microcontrollers or sprinkle sensor nodes over a large geographical area, there are few cheaper ways to do that than with a CH32V chip. These ultra-cheap RISC-V microcontrollers may be closer to a Pinto than a Porsche in terms of performance, but they only cost a few pennies each and they get the job done. However, working with the bare chips is quite challenging, preventing many hobbyists from giving them a try.WeAct has just released a new development board that is intended to make these chips easier to use in your projects.…
While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset wasn’t precisely flawless (it had problems in terms of heat and thermal throttling), the next three high-end chipset generations by Qualcomm:… are all considered a success by industry standards.This is why everyone’s optimistic about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 series, which might bring a chip called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. Did I say everyone? Yeah, as it turns out, not everyone out there is smiling.Minimal CPU gains? Are mobile processors plateauing? | Image by Qualcomm Qualcomm’s next flagship chip, expected in September 2026 as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series,…
The term harness has emerged as a shorthand to mean everything in an AI agent except the model itself – Agent = Model + Harness. That is a very wide definition, and therefore worth narrowing down for common categories of agents. I want to take the liberty here of defining its meaning in the bounded context of using a coding agent. In coding agents, part of the harness is already built in (e.g. via the system prompt, or the chosen code retrieval mechanism, or even a sophisticated orchestration system). But coding agents also provide us, their users, with many features…
A new report from Engineers Ireland warns that persistent skills shortages in engineering are constraining Ireland’s ability to deliver housing and critical infrastructure, with more than 40% of engineering employers saying it now takes between three and six months to fill roles. Engineering 2026 – A Barometer of the Profession in Ireland shows that lengthy recruitment times are emerging as an obstacle to housing, energy, transport and water infrastructure delivery. The report also highlights mounting concern within the profession over the condition of Ireland’s infrastructure. Just 17% of engineers rated overall infrastructure as good, while 41% described it as poor…
108 Dell’Oro forecasts a 2% decline in global telecom capex in 2026, followed by modest growth at a CAGR of around 1% through 2030 In sum – what to know: Capex set to decline – Global telecom capex is expected to fall 2% in 2026, reflecting a more cautious near-term investment environment. Networks meet current demand – Existing infrastructure is sufficient for current traffic levels, reducing the urgency for new large-scale spending. Efficiency before next cycle – Capital intensity is declining, but investment is expected to rise again toward 2030 with the transition to 6G. Global telecom capital expenditure is…
Large structures with hundreds of square meters of solar arrays would quickly suffer damage from small pieces of space debris and meteorites, which would over time degrade the performance of their solar panels and create more debris in orbit. Operating one million satellites in low Earth orbit, the region of space at the altitude of up to 2,000 kilometers, might be impossible to do safely unless all satellites in that area are part of the same network so they can communicate effectively to maneuver around each other, Greg Vialle, the founder of the orbital recycling startup Lunexus Space, told MIT…
