Google's Gemini in Chrome is now available in many more countries than before. The AI chatbot is now built into the browser on desktop and iOS in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. The full list of countries is available here. Unfortunately, the EU still isn't getting it. Maybe later. Gemin
Our smartphones can do a lot, but perhaps one of the most underrated things they can do is offer some serious peace of mind for families. That’s a big part of the reason that location sharing apps have been popular for years, but many of them can also be a privacy nightmare. That’s the problem HeyPo
When you’re using Apple hardware, you just want things to work – to feel native and seamless – and that’s exactly what MSI had in mind with the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G monitor. Boasting a pixel-dense 4K resolution on a 27-in screen with a QD-OLED display, this MSI monitor is designed for easy macOS integ
Have you ever wanted to put up a website without worrying about managing a web server, paying for hosting or wrestling with some complex configurations? There's good news: Azure Storage can host a static website for almost nothing, and you can get your hands on it. In this blog post, I will tell you
Executive Summary I built BurnLink, an open-source file sharing service that prioritizes privacy through client-side encryption and zero-knowledge architecture. This article outlines the technical approach, design decisions, and lessons learned from developing a production-grade privacy-focused appl
I pointed a scanner I wrote at my own network traffic for one afternoon. It came back with eight AI services I'd never sanctioned, running quietly in the background. One of them was DeepSeek, which routes data to servers in China. No alert fired. No DLP rule tripped. Nothing in the stack had flagged
I've written a lot of scrapers. The HTML parsing part is never the interesting part — and it's always the part that takes the longest. You know what data you want. You know where it lives on the page. Getting it out shouldn't require 40 lines of cheerio and a prayer. So I built StructAPI. You send a
Key Takeaways 82% of developers default to OpenAI GPT models (Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 2025), but 60-70% of production API calls don't need a frontier model. Switching classification calls from GPT-4o to DeepSeek V3 saves 18x on input tokens ($2.50 → $0.14 per million). Combining model routi
I've spent the last few years auditing Upwork profiles — first manually for clients, Here's what I found, ranked by frequency. 1. Main keyword used only 1–2 times total (25/30) The algorithm needs repetition to understand what you do. Not spammy repetition — 2. Title isn't a real autocomplete query
Companies Have Been Failing at This for 30 Years — AI Won't Change That by Itself Clients come to me and say, "We want to build a company-wide AI knowledge base." I used to take those projects on the spot. Today, nine times out of ten, my first move is to talk them out of it. It's not that knowledge
How to Get Hermes Agent to Use AgentMail (And Why It's Harder Than It Should Be) Someone on Reddit asked me this today, and honestly, we went through the exact same struggle. So here's the full breakdown of what's going wrong and how to fix it. You've set up AgentMail. You've got your API key. You'v
Bizbox Build Log — Week of 2026-05-31 Headline: Two big bets landed in the same week — Workflows arrived as a proper first-class primitive, and the ClickUp human-approval loop closed end-to-end. The pieces are all there; now we stabilise. This is your weekly look at everything that shipped, the choi
Introduction If you’ve been programming in C or C++ for a while, you likely have heard of Duff’s Device that takes advantage of C’s often-derided “feature” where case blocks “fall through” into the next case (if any). Regardless of what you think of that, I only recently discovered that there’s anot
DreamHost is shutting down their hosted Mailman service on July 31. If you run a I'll be upfront: I built EMail Parrot, a privacy-first mailing list relay, and this Mailman is roughly 25 years old. That longevity is a credit to the project, but it The original Mailman model assumes email is mostly p
The proposed rules would preserve election markets and allow many sports-based prediction contracts while limiting bets that could encourage manipulation.
Researchers at the University of Toronto have built a worm that thinks for itself. Using free off-the-shelf AI models it works out how to break into each new computer it encounters, and hijacks the powerful ones to host its own AI brain. And then the researchers discovered their creation had quietly
Microsoft Corp. has patched more than 200 security vulnerabilities, the most the company has ever fixed in a single Patch Tuesday, as researchers say artificial intelligence bug-hunting is the reason the number keeps climbing. The previous record was 175 fixes, set last October. This month’s batch c
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence (RDI), alongside an advisory committee of over 300 domain experts, have launched Agents’ Last Exam (ALE)—a grueling new benchmark built to measure whether artificial intelligence can actually
DiffusionGemma hits 1,000 tokens per second by ditching word-by-word generation entirely. It just doesn't run on most people's machines yet.
NEURA plans to integrate Tether's wallet and AI technologies into its robotics platform, enabling autonomous payments and on-device computing for machines.
