Gemini for Android Auto has been divisive, to say the least, but for all of its pros and cons, there’s still one big problem that frustrates me on a frequent basis.
The Chevy Silverado EV is a solid first draft of an EV pickup truck. Here's what could make it better.
Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Summit will take place between September 22 and 24. This will be the official unveiling of the next generation of Snapdragon 8 Elite chips (two of them) and several makers want to launch their flagship series that same month – Xiaomi, vivo and Oppo. The latest rumor clai
There’s a bit of an obsession out there with resurrecting the BlackBerry-style physical QWERTY keyboard but, after trying a couple of the latest attempts, I still struggle to see the appeal in 2026, and I’m really not sure who’s buying these.
Me being me, one of the first things I wanted to do in my new home was set up the smart home technology. That’s now almost complete (I’m currently engaged in mortal battle with presence detectors) and I’ll have an update soon. But there was also the matter of the smart home tech I was leaving behind

Security sends a forty-question vendor questionnaire. Legal asks whether your test cases contain customer PII or staging screenshots. Procurement forwards next year's per-seat renewal. The decision is not which UI looks best in a demo. It is whether you can keep sensitive test knowledge off a vendor
Every developer using Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex has done this: select a bunch of files, paste them into the chat, and ask a question. It works — until two things quietly bite you. config.js, .env.local, a test fixture — it only takes one file with api_key = "sk-ant-..." in it, and now your key is si
Keeping track of daily tasks should be simple. Over the past few years, I tried many productivity apps. While they all offered powerful features, I often found myself spending more time organizing tasks than actually completing them. Projects, workspaces, labels, nested lists, recurring settings, an
A few weeks ago I built a small tool called routeproof. It tests one narrow, annoying thing about MCP servers: when an AI host decides which of your tools to call, the only thing its model sees is each tool's name, description, and input schema. Not your code. If two descriptions overlap, or one is
As developers, we often build projects because we scratch our own itch. For me, that itch wasn't another to-do app or weather dashboard—it was personal finance. I realized that while there are countless calculators online, very few combine wealth tracking, investment planning, and financial forecast
Your clipboard forgets everything the moment you copy something new. That one Ctrl+C wipes out the API key you copied five minutes ago, the error message you wanted to paste into Google, and the paragraph you spent ten minutes writing. A clipboard manager fixes that. It keeps a history of everything
La guida autonoma ha il potenziale per ridurre il numero di auto nelle città e aumentare l'uso dei mezzi pubblici, liberando spazio urbano ora occupato da parcheggi. Il punto di partenza è un'inefficienza strutturale evidente: le auto private oggi passano circa il novantacinque per cento del tempo f
TL;DR Syncing config into an API gateway (Kong here) is a converge operation, not an insert. Re-running it must be safe. Three bugs, one theme: adopt an existing record on a 409 UNIQUE instead of throwing; read every page of a list API, not just the first 100; never let a scoped plugin silently esca
Hi, first time posting a question here, please bear with me. I’m watching “Machine Learning in Production” course, now in Week 2: Modeling Challenges and Strategies. The doubt is specifically in “Prioritizing what to work on”. The very first slide shows the table with different dataset categories an
TL;DR Sync must be idempotent. Re-running a gateway sync should converge, not explode on the second pass — adopt what already exists instead of erroring on a UNIQUE conflict. Paginate for real. A list API that caps at 100 will lie to you the moment you have 101 records. Fetch every page before you d

Agent payments crossed from prototype to infrastructure faster than the security work did. The x402 protocol now carries more than 130 million transactions and sits inside Google Cloud, Cloudflare, and Stripe. Last week two papers put that infrastructure under a microscope, and one of them is a peer

Threat actors with ties to North Korea have been linked to a fresh set of malicious npm packages that masquerade as Rollup polyfill tooling to facilitate remote access and data theft. According to JFrog, the packages "rollup-packages-polyfill-core" and "rollup-runtime-polyfill-core" mimic the legiti
