What’s the deal with computer hardware lately? Memory and storage prices have gone stratospheric. A top-of-the-line Raspberry Pi 5 now costs more than $300. Don’t even ask about a GPU — if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford one. With the days of $35 single-board computers and dirt-cheap RAM behind us, we have to start getting creative again, like back when turning Wi-Fi routers into computers was a big thing.That’s what Oscar Molnar is doing, and it got him a nice deal on a GPU. For about $250, he got an NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16GB card. The…

Samsung Electronics, together with global healthcare company Abbott, is bringing immersive extended reality (XR) experiences to blood donation scenery, using Galaxy XR to make the process more comfortable and engaging for donors. On June 2, Samsung and Abbott partnered with the Korean Red Cross to conduct Korea’s first XR-powered blood donation campaign at Samsung Digital City in Suwon. In the campaign held in recognition of World Blood Donor Day, Samsung employees experienced immersive meditation content while donating blood, with Korean Red Cross personnel on-site throughout the event. Following the XR-powered blood donation campaign in Korea, Samsung and Abbott are preparing…

The pgEdge AI DBA Workbench is four services on a shared Postgres datastore: a collector, a server, an alerter, and a React client that renders the dashboards and the chat panel where Ellie lives. Ellie is an agentic loop that drives any LLM you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, Ollama, or anything OpenAI-compatible) through a fixed set of database-aware tool calls. The model never queries Postgres directly, which is rather the point. Anomaly detection runs three tiers: z-score baselines, pgvector similarity against historical patterns, and LLM escalation for the residual cases. Source on GitHub under the PostgreSQL Licence. The Workbench is four Go and…

A team of researchers from the CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and the S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences has developed a new type of highly precise filtration membrane. The study, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, describes a technology that could help industries cut energy use and dramatically increase water reuse. Many industrial activities depend on separating different substances from one another. These separation processes are essential for tasks such as drug purification, textile dye treatment, and food production.…

The Software Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC) is being rewritten in real time. Over the past two months, nearly every major technology provider, from Google and AWS to GitHub, Salesforce, Anthropic, SAP, and Oracle, has unveiled platforms that point toward the same future: software systems built and operated not through sequential human workflows, but through orchestrated agents, embedded governance, continuous execution, and machine-to-machine interaction. This is not the next wave of developer productivity tooling. It is the beginning of a new software execution model.  Reach out to discuss this topic in depth.  For decades, the SDLC has followed a relatively stable structure. Requirements moved into development. Development moved into testing. Testing moved…

SpaceX has captured the attention of media, investors, and the public for years now — interest propelled by the company’s reusable rocket launches, the rise of its Starlink satellite network, and of course, for its founder and CEO Elon Musk. But in its 24-year history, nothing quite compares to this initial public offering. Everyone seems to be interested, and perhaps it’s because of the sheer size of this IPO. The company priced its 555.6 million shares at $135 each to raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history. At this price, the deal also looks set to make…

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have unveiled a significant advance in cryogenic electronics that could help overcome key challenges in quantum computing and support future deep space missions. The team, from HKU’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Centre for Advanced Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits (CASIC), developed a programmable neuromorphic hardware platform capable of operating at temperatures near absolute zero. The research was led by Professor Yuhao Zhang and PhD student Xin Yang. Their work introduces a new method for generating and controlling negative differential resistance (NDR) in industry standard Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. Using…

AWS Graviton processors have improved steadily across generations, with each iteration delivering advances in compute performance, price-performance, and energy efficiency. At re:Invent 2025, we announced Amazon EC2 M9g, the first Graviton5-powered instances, in preview. Since then, customers have tested M9g across a wide range of workloads and shared their results. ClickHouse saw a 36% performance boost compared to M8g, with zero code changes. Honeycomb achieved 36% better throughput per core compared to Graviton4, across a 6-month A/B test of production observability workloads. HubSpot deployed M9g for MySQL databases and saw query duration drop by up to 60%. Today, M9g instances are…

Our tracking of OceanLotus activities from 2024–2026 reveals a shift in operational focus. During this period, the Vietnam-aligned OceanLotus adopted a more selective approach to external operations while placing increasing emphasis on domestic espionage. We identified two distinct campaigns involving the SPECTRALVIPER backdoor: a supply-chain attack targeting stock investors in Vietnam and a prolonged espionage operation against a Vietnamese infrastructure and transport construction company. Whether the shift represents a temporary adjustment or a long-term strategic change remains unclear; however, this 15-year-old APT group continues to demonstrate aggressive tactics and a level of craftiness in its tooling. Key points of this…

TORONTO — Evan Pivnick, associate director of public affairs at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to the release of Powering Canada Strong: A National Strategy for an Electrified Canadian Economy:  “Today’s strategy sends an important signal that electrification and growing our electricity system is the nation-building effort we need to enhance our country’s economic competitiveness and energy security in a rapidly changing world. But while the strategy highlights the strength of Canada’s existing and relatively clean and affordable electricity system, it overstates the role of natural gas and understates the long-term energy security and affordability benefits…
