The best thing for your smart home might be starting from scratch.
There’s an inherent bit of joy that comes from using a Pebble smartwatch, but one thing that’s always made me hesitate is that Pebble’s health tracking is very basic, if it’s there at all. When I saw people strapping mechanical watches to the Fitbit Air, I had to do the thing. So now there’s a Pebbl
Google scored a big victory yesterday as its Gemini model became the foundation of Apple’s new Siri. But the tech giant is pushing even harder to grab as much market share during the AI boom as possible – it just made its base AI plan cheaper. Google AI Plus used to be $8 a month and came with 200GB
Load balancers are the silent infrastructure. You don't think about them until they start dropping connections at 2 AM. Here are the settings that have bitten me in production. Default connection idle timeout on AWS ALB is 60 seconds. Your app might have requests that legitimately take 90 seconds. R
Linux Server Essentials: What Every Developer Should Know (2026) You deployed your app — now what? Here's everything you need to know to keep a Linux server running smoothly. # 1. Update everything sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y # 2. Create a non-root user (never run as root!) sudo adduser d
Figma's comment system is built around a canvas. When your team ships the real product and iterates on the deployed thing, that canvas is gone — and so is the feedback loop you built around it. This is the gap most design-engineer teams hit silently. Figma comments work because every comment is pinn
Every SaaS product eventually hits the same wall: users want to send emails, and they want to design them themselves. So you go looking for an embeddable email editor. Then you see the pricing. Unlayer starts at $250/month. Beefree SDK at $2,500/month. Chamaileon is "contact us". For a bootstrapped
Auditing an MCP Server Against the OWASP MCP Top 10 The OWASP MCP Top 10 is now the taxonomy people reach for when they talk about MCP risk. It is the framework a security team will bring into a procurement conversation, and the one practitioners increasingly cite by number. It is still a beta — Pha
Someone on your revenue operations team got tired of nagging account executives about CRM hygiene. So they wired up an agent. Salesforce has an MCP server, the model can call tools, and the workflow is obvious: take the meeting transcript, pull out the next steps, update the opportunity, log the act
Until today, Anthropic's Mythos-class models were restricted to a small group of cyberdefenders and critical infrastructure providers. Claude Fable 5 changes that — it's the same underlying model, now available to anyone, at $10/M input and $50/M output tokens. That's less than half the price of Myt
Tenho alguns arquivos de vídeo locais e queria algo mais simples que o Jellyfin ou Kodi, inteiramente no terminal. Não encontrei nada que servisse, então escrevi em Go. Você mapeia diretórios com vídeos, navega por eles numa interface TUI e abre qualquer arquivo direto no mpv, tudo pelo teclado. O p
Building a URL shortener with Cursor, ChatGPT, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Cloudflare taught me more about shipping software than writing code. Since last year, Cursor has been my go-to development assistant for daily tasks. But at the beginning of this year, just using it to generate snippets didn
Most developers know Haskell as a language for functional programming, type safety, compilers, parsers, and beautiful mathematical abstractions. But can Haskell also be used to build an interactive engineering simulator? That was the motivation behind my project: Four-Bar Mechanism Haskell Simulator
Claude Fable 5 me permitiu criar um "GTA" em apenas um prompt. Prompt: "Crie um jogo, Tiny GTA 3D." A própria Anthropic afirma que o Fable 5 é seu modelo mais poderoso já lançado ao público, com avanços significativos em engenharia de software, pesquisa científica, visão computacional e execução aut
If you build agents on Base, two things landed recently that are worth connecting. First: Base shipped its own Agent Skills. There's now a base/skills repo with consolidated skills that teach an AI agent to connect to Base, deploy contracts, authenticate wallets, and run nodes — installed with one c
"Ghost-Sender" uses Exchange Online or on-premises in hybrid mode with a third-party mail server or spam filter to achieve this level of spoofing.
The fraudster took in nearly $100 million from victims before laundering funds via Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins.
The European Commission has issued interim measures forcing Meta to restore third-party AI access to the WhatsApp Business API within five days.
Beacon Software Inc., a startup that buys and operates software businesses, has raised $225 million in Series C funding. The company stated in its announcement of the deal today that HarbourVest and General Catalyst were the lead inventors. The latter firm also backed Beacon’s previous $250 million
Remember Claude Mythos Preview? Yes, the very AI model that Anthropic had announced earlier this year, one that sent even the governments around the world into a frenzy. The model that found security loopholes in almost any network it was tested on, and was so powerful that had to be kept limited wi
