When it comes to EVs, Volvo hasn’t been afraid to experiment. It’s tried repurposing a platform from its internal-combustion cars (for the EX40 and EC40, nee XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge), a flagship SUV that’s also a technology demonstrator (the EX90) and a radical reinvention of its brand (with the EX30). The Swedish automaker’s latest EV takes yet another approach — one that could make it the most important Volvo EV yet. The 2027 Volvo EX60 boasts engineering improvements in a package that’s likely to have mass appeal. It’s based on a new architecture that offers improved range and charging…

Hello Cyber Builders 🖖AI is showing up in every cybersecurity platform.That’s not news anymore. What matters now is how AI is actually being used and whether there are real patterns worth your attention. As Cyber Builders, whether you’re creating new products or using cybersecurity platforms, you need to understand these patterns to build better tools or choose more effective solutions.AI is shifting the balance from users learning complex systems to systems that understand and respond to users in plain language.This week, we’re exploring a few more categories (CTEM, User Awareness, GRC) where vendors are integrating AI into their products and…

For decades, the personal computer has been the center of our digital universe, with Windows acting as the undisputed sun. But as we move into 2026, a gravitational shift is occurring. The rise of Generative AI and autonomous agents isn’t just adding a new feature to our taskbars; it is fundamentally threatening the necessity of an operating system (OS) as we know it. The question is no longer whether Windows will get better AI features, but whether AI will eventually make Windows—and the hardware it runs on—obsolete. The Fragility of the Windows Hegemony Windows is currently in a state of…

Best Grind-and-Dry Food RecyclerLomi3 Countertop Food RecyclerMost kitchen “composters” simply grind and dry your food scraps, but the Lomi 3 does the best job of this of the bunch. I’m always impressed when companies listen to feedback and adapt, and Lomi’s new model solves a couple of the now-discontinued Lomi 2’s quirks and foibles. Gone are the multiple modes, annoying twist-off lid, and having to put scraps right into the machine. Now there’s a convenient 3-liter, 7.5-inch-tall countertop bucket, just like the FoodCycler below; an easy push-button lid; and just two simple processing modes: Grow and Express. The Lomi 3…

Well, I now have the answer to how Snapchat does age verification for under-16s: they give an underage kid the ability to change their date of birth, then do a facial scan to verify. The facial scan (a third party tells me…) allows someone well under 16 to pass it easily. So, is that control "reasonable"? I guess that will depend on whether this case is an outlier or a much more common scenario, and a sample set of one isn't particularly scientific. Either way, I expect that what we're seeing is representative of a pretty obvious problem: privacy-preserving age…

Scientists in California have turned a sci-fi like idea into reality. A company called REMspace has successfully achieved two-way communication between two people who were both asleep and lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when someone becomes aware that they are dreaming and can even control parts of the dream. This happens during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, which is when our dreams are the most vivid. The two participants in the experiment were both experienced lucid dreamers, meaning they had developed the skill to be aware that they were dreaming. The experiment took place on September 24,…

Mews Systems BV, a Dutch startup that develops software and payment terminals for hotel operators, has raised $300 million in funding. The company stated on Thursday that EQT Growth led the Series D round. It was joined by Atomico, HarbourVest Partners, Kinnevik, Battery Ventures and Tiger Global. Mews is now valued at $2.5 billion.

The software enables resort operators to embed a room booking widget in their websites. According to Mews, guests can place reservations in four steps…

A new multi-stage phishing campaign has been observed targeting users in Russia with ransomware and a remote access trojan called Amnesia RAT. “The attack begins with social engineering lures delivered via business-themed documents crafted to appear routine and benign,” Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Cara Lin said in a technical breakdown published this week. “These documents and accompanying scripts serve as visual distractions, diverting victims to fake tasks or status messages while malicious activity runs silently in the background.” The campaign stands out for a couple of reasons. First, it uses multiple public cloud services to distribute different kinds of payloads.…
