Wikipedia pushes to monetize its content, especially after massive demand from tech giants for AI development. The truth is apparent. All the tech powerhouses, from Meta to Amazon, have been training their AI models on Wikipedia’s content. And honestly, why not? The content holds depth and accuracy, and it’s accessible at no cost. But these partnerships aren’t all new. Wikipedia has long collaborating with these tech companies. The deals are merely a revamped version of the previous deals, along with just a few new ones. This is just an extended version. The question is- what changed? Why was a vamping…
YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed is reporting that NVIDIA has “effectively” discontinued the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB due to the ongoing memory crunch. In its most recent video, the channel states ASUS “explicitly” told it the RTX 5070 Ti is “currently facing a supply shortage.” As a result, the company has “placed the model into end of life status,” and no longer plans to produce it.Hardware Unboxed also spoke to retailers in Australia, who told the channel the 5070 Ti is “no longer available to purchase from partners and distributors,” adding they expect that to be the case…
The iPhone 16e might not be the most modern-looking iPhone on the market, but it surely offers some excellent specifications (I said some). This year, Apple will improve its affordable handset with a set of significant upgrades, giving it a modern look and feel and making it as fast as the iPhone 17. Digital Chat Station, a Chinese tipster, claims that the iPhone 17e “will debut in the first half of the year” in a Weibo post. While that could be anytime between January and June, the iPhone 16e’s launch timeline could help narrow the launch window. Image used with…
One only has to read the daily newsfeeds to see how drastic digital financial crime is around the world. South Africa is particularly vulnerable. It’s been reported that around 70% of South Africans have been victims of some form of cybercrime as compared to the global rate of 50%. South Africa has not only maintained among the top countries that experience cyber attacks, but the numbers are increasing. Mobile cybercrime has been on the uptick as 47% of South African smartphone users have reported having mobile cybercrime. The results of the financial fraud has been enough to list South Africa…
Reports surfaced this week confirming what many industry observers had long suspected but feared to articulate: China has launched a “Manhattan Project” for semiconductors. This massive, state-backed initiative has a singular, existential goal—to reverse-engineer the ultra-complex lithography machines currently monopolized by the Dutch firm ASML. By cracking the code on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) technology, Beijing aims to shatter the chained gates of U.S. sanctions and achieve self-sufficiency in manufacturing the chips necessary to train frontier Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. This is not merely industrial espionage on a grand scale; it is a geopolitical inflection point. The race for AI dominance…
When Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good last Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, the 37-year-old mother became one of at least 25 people killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shooting since 2015.In the days after Ross fired at Good multiple times from the front and side of Good’s car, visual investigations from outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post have reconstructed the event, which unfolded in a matter of seconds, combing through a series of videos that emerged from various angles. These present apparent contradictions between the narrative presented by the White House and…
Hello Cyber Builders 🖖,The world’s heart beats in bytes, and right now, it is racing. Driven by AI and Digital Technologies (“Tech”), the global pulse is accelerating. Yet, here in Europe, it often feels like we are out of breath.Imagine standing in a long queue at a busy European border crossing. While the digital world sprints, you are watching a single customs officer stamp passports by hand, echoing a past era. It feels like the system is struggling to keep up.Society always moves forward; there is no way back to heavy files or horse-drawn carriages. But my fellow Europeans are…
Attack surface monitoring is the continuous discovery and analysis of all assets, services, identities, and access points that attackers could exploit. This includes internet-facing infrastructure, cloud services, SaaS platforms, APIs, and sometimes internal attack paths.Mean time to detect measures how quickly an organization identifies malicious activity after it begins. When you continuously monitor your attack surface, you detect risky changes earlier, which directly shortens the time between initial exposure and threat detection.This connection is critical because attackers almost always interact with the attack surface before triggering traditional security alerts.
15 mins and 40 seconds. That’s how long it took to troubleshoot the first tech problem of 2026, and that’s how far you’ll need to skip through this video to hear the audio at normal volume. The problem Scott and I had is analogous to the troubleshooting so many of us do in our roles day in and day out:This should work fineIt doesn’t work, and I don’t know whyI did something that seems unrelate,d and now it worksI still don’t know whyAnyway, I’ve cleaned up the audio-only version for the podcast, but I can’t change the YouTube version once…
Remember the Ashley Madison data breach? That was now more than a decade ago, yet it arguably remains the single most noteworthy data breach of all time. There are many reasons for this accolade, but chief among them is that by virtue of the site being expressly designed to facilitate extramarital affairs, there was massive social stigma attached to it. As a result, we saw some pretty crazy stuff:Various websites were stood up to publicly disclose the presence of people in the data and out them as “cheaters”Churches trawled through the data and contacted the spouses of exposed parishionersThe media…
