Introduction Hybrid cloud has evolved from a tactical workaround to a strategic foundation. Enterprises increasingly blend private infrastructure with public cloud services to balance control, compliance and agility, and they are doing so at a moment when artificial intelligence and machine‑learning workloads are exploding. Gartner predicts that by 2027 some 90 % of organisations will adopt hybrid cloud models, reflecting a shift away from single‑provider dependency toward flexible architectures that can place every workload where it makes the most sense. Hybrid approaches are now board‑level priorities because they enable generative AI at scale, sovereign data control, legacy coexistence, predictable economics…
Another day, another wave of gaming layoffs. Today it’s Riot Games with the announcement that it’s cutting jobs on its pair-based fighting game 2XKO. For context, a representative from Riot confirmed to Game Developer that about 80 people are being cut, or roughly half of 2XKO’s global development team.”As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO,” according to the blog post from executive producer Tom Cannon. “The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasn’t reached the level needed to support a team of this size…
Cloud-inspired data center infrastructure startup Oxide Computer Co. has reportedly raised $200 million in a fresh round of funding.

Its flagship product…

But an especailly big thanks to the follower who later emailed me with an idea that didn't work, and followed up with an idea that finally did!So, yeah, thanks Logitech for making this a real pain in the arse 🤦♂️

Most B2B SaaS growth marketing strategies are built on a foundation that no longer exists. They rely on the linear funnel model: You purchase an ad => someone clicks a link => they download a whitepaper => an SDR calls them. In 2026, that process is broken. Modern buyers don’t move in straight lines. They move in loops. They research in private communities, trial products before talking to humans, and switch vendors the moment a tool feels like “work.” Stop looking at growth as a series of disconnected tactics if you want a strategy that actually scales. Instead, view it…

Back in 2021, Apple introduced a new feature with iOS 15 that uses your iPhone‘s motion sensors to measure how steady you are while walking. Called Walking Steadiness, it relies on custom algorithms to analyze balance, stability, and coordination, alerting users when their fall risk may be elevated. Apple now appears to be working on an improved version of the feature that could roll out later this year. Apple has been working on a Health app revamp for quite some time, with leaks from early last year pointing to the addition of an AI-powered health coach, codenamed Mulberry. Bloomberg previously…
