Public sector organizations are increasingly rethinking how they manage critical infrastructure as demands for always-on digital services and greater operational efficiency continue to grow. As government AI adoption accelerates alongside advances in cloud-native platforms, IT teams are modernizing legacy environments while maintaining security and public trust. Organizations are taking a measured approach to AI, recognizing that the data they manage is not theirs to casually experiment with or potentially expose. The focus is on finding ways to create value from that data while being careful not to introduce unnecessary security risk, according to Mike DeHaan (pictured), chief technology officer of…

Pregame ceremonies in Seattle on June 19, 2026, before the U.S.-Australia World Cup Group D match. (GeekWire Photo / John Cook) In soccer, a single blown offside call can decide who advances and who goes home. But what can you do? Referees are only human. Well, the 2026 World Cup has put computer vision and AI on the officiating crew: video review, a sensor inside the ball, semi-automated offside calls, cameras bolted into every rafter. And the tech has already decided a goal. On June 15 in Monterrey, Sweden were busy thrashing Tunisia when Mattias Svanberg came off the bench…

A countertop ice machine is not exactly standard PC hardware, but YouTuber TrashBench has shown that it can be turned into a surprisingly effective GPU cooler. In a new video, the creator used an ice maker as the basis for a custom cooling setup for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, and the results were far better than expected. The project was inspired by another creator, Mr. Yeester, who used an ice machine to cool a CPU. TrashBench took the concept in a different direction by trying to cool a graphics card with the machine itself, rather than simply dumping ice…

The Gentlemen ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation is actively developing and maintaining a suite of endpoint detection and response (EDR) killers that it hands out to affiliates for impairing system defenses before deploying the encryptor. This mature portfolio of EDR-terminating tools is centered around a framework that’s known as GentleKiller. “They also incorporate third-party or leaked tools such as HexKiller, ThrottleBlood, and HavocKiller,” ESET security researcher Jakub Souček said in a report shared with The Hacker News. “These tools are standardized through a shared defense-evasion layer, impersonating predominantly security vendors using fake version information, and copied legitimate certificates and icons.” The Slovakian…

The Wall Street Journal reviewed 1,105 videos along with guidance given to creators for crafting their posts. Polymarket In case you needed another reason to be wary of those videos showing people winning big on Polymarket, an investigation by The Wall Street Journal has found that the company is paying social media creators to post misleading content promoting the prediction market. Of the 1,105 TikTok videos the publication reviewed, 778 appeared to show someone placing a bet — but a closer look reportedly revealed that none of the latter featured the actual Polymarket website, instead using…

The most controversial feature is Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Direction (SOCD) customization. This allows one key to override another rather than registering both simultaneously, which is ideal for strafing in tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant. The difference in reaction speed is immediately noticeable, making quick peeks far more consistent. However, because of the distinct advantage it provides, the feature has been banned in some competitive games because it reduces the delay between directional movement to near-zero levels without requiring any additional skills.Testing these features across a variety of shooters and racing games, I was consistently impressed by the level…

If you bought an iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 when they launched, you may be able to claim some of the money from a class action lawsuit against Apple. It’s all tied to the new Apple Intelligence features the company previewed during launch — features that ultimately didn’t arrive on time, but were finally unveiled more extensively this month at WWDC 2026.Apple settled a shareholder lawsuit in May, agreeing to pay $250 million to customers who bought the iPhone 16 and some iPhone 15 models during a specified period. The lawsuit alleged that Apple misled customers by promising AI features that didn’t ship…

Adding more artificial intelligence agents to the workflow doesn’t make an enterprise smarter. In fact, it can make operations harder to manage. The problem is not the capabilities of individual agents but how well they work together. Many enterprises are moving from experimenting with single AI agents to a multi-level approach that spans functions such as customer care, supply chain and finance. Each works in isolation, and coordinating their actions and ensuring they move toward a single goal is a challenge. The problem is no longer how to create AI agents, but how to ensure they work together rather than…

The neighbourhood’s heritage charm hasn’t saved it from a growing vacancy problem Walk down East Coast Road on a weekday afternoon, and you might notice something that doesn’t quite fit the postcard image of Katong: shuttered shopfronts, darkened interiors, and “For Rent” signs that have clearly been hanging there a while. Katong is the area where Joo Chiat Road meets East Coast Road, and it’s known for its hipster vibes—heritage shophouses, popular cafés, and a neighbourhood energy that earned it a spot on Time Out‘s list of the world’s coolest streets in 2025. But that reputation is increasingly at odds…

Embodied AI is a fundamentally different category of intelligence- one that learns by doing, not by reading. And that distinction changes everything. Key Takeaways Embodied AI is fundamentally a different category, learning through physical interaction with the world. The physical world introduces variability and causal complexity that software-only AI was never built to handle. That gap is precisely what embodied AI is designed for. The most mature deployments are in industrial manufacturing and logistics, where adaptive robotic systems are already operating in production- the humanoid category is real but still early. For organizations, embodied AI changes the labor, infrastructure, and…
