‘Free phone’ scams are becoming increasingly common, and there’s now a new one to watch out for. With this version, a brand new phone is left on your doorstep and – unusually – the scammer didn’t use your money to buy it. This is just the latest in a long line of scams involving new phones delivered
The Problem Millions of small and mid-sized businesses — especially across Africa and emerging markets — run their entire customer support on WhatsApp. Yet the tooling available is either enterprise-priced, dumb (no AI), or introduces unbearable latency for distributed users. I wanted to build somet
After working with network engineers across three continents, the pattern is always the same. The training gets completed. The certificates get issued. And six months later, the engineers are operating their AI-driven 5G networks the same way they were before the training started. This is not a moti
Introduction: The Challenge of Browser-Based Optimization For years, the web has been a second-class citizen in the world of optimization. Solvers—the engines behind complex problem-solving in logistics, scheduling, and resource allocation—have traditionally required native environments. Their heavy
Building a Secure Authentication System with Django Recently, I completed the development of a production-ready Secure Authentication System using Python and Django. This project was designed to implement modern authentication workflows while following established security practices and software eng
The narrative surrounding AI in software engineering often oscillates between two extremes: that human developers are becoming obsolete or that AI is merely a fancy autocomplete tool. In a recent webinar featuring leadership from Platform9, Monday.com, and PlayStation, a more nuanced reality emerged
Re-render problems in React usually come from one of two places: state that lives too high in the tree, or components rendered inside a parent that doesn't need to own them. Fix the structure first. Memoize what's left. This article covers the structural fix, how reorganizing component dependencies
Introduction: Virtual Network allows resources running in Microsoft Azure, like Virtual Machines, Storage Accounts, Applications, to communicate with each other, internet, and even on-premises network environments. A Subnet is a subdivision of your VNet. It allows you to divide your network into sma
The app on your phone that you opened this morning, the one you use to check the weather or scan a receipt or convert a file format, may be one of the last of its kind. Not because it will stop working, but because the entire concept of downloading, installing, and maintaining software is hurtling t
Modern observability isn’t just about logs and traces; it’s about actionable signals. OpenTelemetry (OTel) Events and New Relic Custom Events are both event-driven signals - but they solve different problems. The “why” behind each is about who consumes the data and what decisions it enables. As team
Martin Kleppmann discusses the urgent need for technological sovereignty in modern infrastructure. Exploring the shifting landscape of global tech dependencies, he shares how engineering leaders can leverage multi-cloud architecture, de facto API standardization, the AT Protocol, and local-first dev
The question that breaks every AI demo Picture the scene. You've just founded a travel-planning startup - let's call it WanderAI. The pitch is simple and gorgeous: a customer types "ten days in Japan, mid-budget, foodie, hates crowds," and an AI agent crafts a perfect itinerary in seconds. The demo
Birgitta Böckeler, Distinguished Engineer at Thoughtworks, returns to discuss the rapid evolution of AI in software delivery. She touches on the evolution from vibe coding, the changing tools landscape and the more autonomous agents that, besides higher velocity, introduce higher risk. By Birgitta B
I went down a rabbit hole this morning reading the December 2025 AI tool roundups on Juejin, and I figured I'd write down what actually stuck with me. Most of these lists blur together after a while, but a few patterns are worth talking about. The first thing that jumped out is how crowded the codin
In this article, the author examines how AI is transforming phishing from a manual, targeted activity into an automated and scalable attack model. The article breaks down each stage of the phishing lifecycle, showing how AI improves reconnaissance, profiling, content generation, delivery, and intera
Enterprise AI pilots succeed. Enterprise AI deployments stall. The gap between the two is almost always a management problem, not a technology problem. There's a pattern in enterprise AI adoption that I've watched repeat across organizations of different sizes, industries, and geographies. Month one
Microsoft used its Build 2026 conference last week to announce a series of updates to its flagship Visual Studio IDE The post Microsoft unlocks Visual Studio for developers left behind by its own AI appeared first on The New Stack.
The proposed coordination would let advanced AI labs verify that global rivals have actually stopped or slowed their work. The post Anthropic Urges Industry Coordination to Allow for a ‘Pause’ in AI Development if Risks Grow appeared first on SecurityWeek.
A China-nexus cyber espionage group has been observed deploying a BSD variant of a known backdoor called BRICKSTORM, as well as two other malware families codenamed PLENET (aka GRIMBOLT) and AGENTPSD to target Linux systems. The activity has been attributed by Volexity to a threat cluster it tracks
The post XRP Price Prediction 2028: Four Cycles Point to $3.62 Target appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News One crypto analyst is making a long-term case against XRP, arguing that while the token could still rise in dollar terms, it may continue to lag behind Bitcoin over the rest of the decade.
