At the beginning of January, I tend to set my top resolutions for the year, a way to focus on what I want to achieve. If AI and cloud computing are on your resolution list, consider creating an AWS Free Tier account to receive up to $200 in credits and have 6 months of risk-free experimentation with AWS services. During this period, you can explore essential services across compute, storage, databases, and AI/ML, plus access to over 30 always-free services with monthly usage limits. After 6 months, you can decide whether to upgrade to a standard AWS account. Whether you’re…
Jan 14, 2026Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Patch Management Fortinet has released updates to fix a critical security flaw impacting FortiSIEM that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve code execution on susceptible instances. The operating system (OS) injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-64155, is rated 9.4 out of 10.0 on the CVSS scoring system. “An improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (‘OS command injection’) vulnerability [CWE-78] in FortiSIEM may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted TCP requests,” the company said in a Tuesday bulletin. Fortinet said the vulnerability affects only Super and…
The membrane performed well over multiple filtration cycles, and could be cleaned and reused thanks to a methodical backwashing system. Researchers have created a new two-layer membrane filtration system that can significantly reduce the amount of micro and nanoplastics that leak from landfills into local water basins. The group – at the University of British Columbia (UBCO) – has published the study which details how a double-layer membrane installed at landfills can act as a filter to keep these pollutants out of groundwater and surrounding ecosystems. “Landfills are silent threats to our environment, acting as major reservoirs for emerging pollutants,”…
UK-based market research and consulting firm, Juniper Research, has unveiled its Top 10 Emerging Tech Trends for 2026, with cutting-edge technologies like neuromorphic computing, physical AI, and post-quantum cryptography taking centre stage. These are the technologies poised to reshape how businesses plan and invest in technology over the next few years.The 10 trends are ranked by Juniper Research by the impact they are expected to make. The paper cites 2026 as an important juncture for adoption and deployment. The report essentially could be taken as a potential roadmap and a guide to technology domains that, in time, will require strategic…
There are thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth, and an increasing number of them are able to capture all types of images in near real time. It used to be a somewhat cumbersome process to access those images. But Austin-based startup SkyFi has built a platform that acts as a sort of “Getty Images” for more than 50 geospatial imagery partners that has proven popular in the worlds of finance, defense, infrastructure, and insurance — to name a few. That popularity escalated as SkyFi began offering more analytics and insights to its customers through its website and mobile app, along…
A simple boundary‑repositioning technique lets materials host infinitely many robust topological states useful for electronics, photonics, and phononics, with a Matryoshka-doll-like hierarchy Twisted particle formation (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Kawephoto) Topological insulators are materials that are insulating in the bulk within the bandgap, yet exhibit conductive states on their surface at frequencies within that same bandgap. These surface states are topologically protected, meaning they cannot be easily disrupted by local perturbations. In general, a material of n‑dimensions can host n‑1-dimensional topological boundary states. If the symmetry protecting these states is further broken, a bandgap can open between the n-1-dimensional states, enabling the emergence…
Did you know that 90% of global startups fail at some point in their lifecycle? And that only 0.05% of startups secure venture capital funding, which is about 1 in 2,000? However, the depressing nature of these statistics does not mean that it’s not even worth trying. Building a startup in 2026 is a viable option to consider, still it means making decisions that won’t block growth later. One of the most critical choices founders must make is selecting a decent software development company for a startup. The right provider helps validate ideas, launch MVPs faster, adapt to market feedback,…
Modern software development is evolving rapidly. New tools, processes, and AI-powered systems are reshaping how teams collaborate and how engineers find satisfaction in their craft. At the same time, developer experience has become a critical function for helping organizations balance agility, security, and scale while maintaining the creativity and flow that make top tier engineering possible. Capital One is continuously transforming its developer culture, with a focus on faster development cycles, reducing operational overhead, and boosting productivity across the organization. Catherine McGarvey is the SVP of Developer Experience at Capital One. She joins the podcast with Sean Falconer to talk…
What is the best internet provider in Chicago?CNET recommends AT&T Fiber as the top internet provider for most Chicago households thanks to its fast symmetrical speeds, straightforward pricing and citywide availability. But if AT&T Fiber isn’t available at your address, there are plenty of other options, including Xfinity, Verizon 5G Home Internet and Rise Broadband. Keep in mind your decision should largely stem from how much you want to spend and how fast your connection needs to be. According to a recent CNET survey, 51% of US adults reported the same unreliable service despite paying more for their internet connection.…
Summary created by Smart Answers AIIn summary:Tech Advisor reveals five simple techniques to dramatically improve Android phone photography, focusing on underutilized camera features rather than hardware limitations.These methods include using moderate digital zoom, HDR adjustments, locking focus and exposure, continuous shooting for moving subjects, and volume button shutter control.Implementing these tips helps reduce camera shake, capture better expressions, minimize distortion, and achieve more balanced lighting in everyday photos. Modern Android smartphones have amazingly good cameras on board. Nevertheless, many photos taken in everyday life are still disappointing: faces are blurred, the sky is too bright, and details are lost. However,…
