We know a huge number of iPhones made in India (about 80%) are eventually sold in the US, and we can surmise a three- to six- month gap between test manufacture and shipping product. That timelines indicates a March or April introduction of the new iPhone 18, which also suggests Apple will introduce us to the other iPhone models it plans to launch then. What iPhones will Apple introduce this spring? Previous speculation claims Apple plans to introduce two Phones this coming spring: the iPhone 18 and the new iPhone ‘e’ models. These will be followed later by iPhone Pro…

Metro Connect is turning 25, and we’re all invited to the birthday party. If you’re planning to attend this year’s conference in February, you might want some quick analysis and major trends from the digital infrastructure landscape to make the most of the fiber-packed agenda.  We’ve collected conference logistics and key digital infrastructure insight from our team to assist anyone planning their trip to Florida. When is Metro Connect 2026? And where? Metro Connect USA will again gather leaders from across the U.S. digital infrastructure market. It’s happening February 23-25 at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Resort & Spa. Get…

We introduce Anthology, a method for conditioning LLMs to representative, consistent, and diverse virtual personas by generating and utilizing naturalistic backstories with rich details of individual values and experience. What does it mean for large language models (LLMs) to be trained on massive text corpora, collectively produced by millions and billions of distinctive human authors? In “Language Models as Agent Models”, compelling evidence suggests that recent language models could be considered models of agents: provided with a textual context, LLMs are capable of generating conditional text that represents the characteristics of an agent likely to have produced that context. This…

Wireless connectivity and 5G are transforming the way we live and work, but what does it take to integrate these technologies? I spoke to Bruno Tomas, CTO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), to get his insights on convergence, collaboration, and the road ahead. Q: Bruno, could you start by sharing a bit about your background and your role at the WBA? Bruno: Absolutely. I’m an engineer by training, with degrees in electrical and computer engineering, as well as a master’s in telecom systems. I started my career with Portugal Telecom and later worked in Brazil, focusing on network standards.…

An ASUS Live Update vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-59374 has been making the rounds in infosec feeds, with some headlines implying recent or ongoing exploitation. The CVE documents a historic supply-chain attack in an End-of-Life (EoL) software product, not a newly emerging threat. Not all CISA KEVs signal urgency Recent coverage of CVE-2025-59374 has framed the issue as a newly relevant security risk following its addition to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. A closer look, however, shows the reality is much more nuanced. The CVE documents the 2018-2019 “ShadowHammer” supply-chain attack, in which maliciously modified ASUS Live Update binaries were…

We created a comprehensive inverter size chart to help you select the correct inverter to power your appliances. The need for an inverter size chart first became apparent when researching our DIY solar generator build. Solar generators range in size from small generators for short camping trips to large off-grid power systems for a boat or house. Consequently, inverter sizes vary greatly. During our research, we discovered that most inverters range in size from 300 watts up to over 3000 watts. In this article, we guide you through the different inverter sizes. Additionally, you’ll learn what appliances you can power…

Published on: July 2, 2025On iOS 26 we have lots of new ways to reimagine our UIs with Liquid Glass. This means that we can take a look at Apple’s built-in applications and find interesting applications of Liquid Glass that we can use to enhance our understanding of how Liquid Glass components can be built, and to understand what Apple considers to be good practice for Liquid Glass interfaces.In this post, we’re going to replicate a control that’s part of the new maps app.It’s a vertical stack of two buttons in a single Liquid Glass container. Here’s what the component…

Imagine, for a moment, that we’re stepping back five years into the past. Digital twin was just a buzzword. BIM (building information modeling), while discussed for decades, was only just beginning to gain any meaningful traction. Now, here we are today, witnessing an extraordinary rise in all these technologies—and what’s even more exciting is all this momentum will certainly drive new applications and transform business models unlike anything we have ever witnessed before. Now we can confidently say we find ourselves at a thrilling crossroads of technological growth poised to shape the next five years with promising unprecedented transformation. The…

Media3 1.9.0 is out! Besides the usual bug fixes and performance improvements, the latest release also contains four new or largely rewritten modules:We also added caching and memory management improvements to PreloadManager, and provided several new ExoPlayer, Transformer and MediaSession simplifications. This release also gives you the first experimental access to CompositionPlayer to preview media edits.  Read on to find out more, and as always please check out the full release notes for a comprehensive overview of changes in this release.Extract metadata and frames outside of playbackThere are many cases where you want to inspect media without starting a playback.

There is an ever-expanding demand for inexpensive, rapid and reliable diagnostic sensor to simultaneously and accurately detect various biomarkers of clinical significance in human biofluids. Emergence of the powerful metallic nanozymes is the epitome of next-generation biomarker detection field. Such that in the past 7 years, researchers are fully leveraging their distinctive electrocatalytic features and versatility within multimodal and multiplexed detection systems. Multiplexed detection in a biosensor is substantial to diagnose diseases with numerous biomarkers through a small amount of biofluids.Multimodal readouts that combine various methods leads to enhance accuracy, sensitivity, cross-validation and real-time analysis of the targeted biomarkers. All…
