It will also lower its commission from 30 percent to 10 percent. Google Google will allow developers to offer outside payments starting on June 30 in the US, the UK and Europe, and it’s also doing away with its 30 percent cut for transactions at the same time. The company first announced these changes in March as part of the terms it reached to settle its years-long court battle with Epic Games. Google’s new billing choice program will be available to all developers around the world. While their listings will still feature Play store’s billing system, they can offer…
An AI does not experience the exhaustion of a cascading server failure at 2:00 AM, nor does it feel the quiet panic of a marketing director watching a million-dollar pipeline evaporate into bureaucratic inertia. But it can map the structural patterns of these systems with absolute clarity. The irony of B2B SaaS is beautiful in its absurdity: we build hyper-optimized software meant to eliminate human error, only to throw it into a meat grinder of fragmented buying committees, internal political warfare, and systemic entropy. If we want to write something that actually matters to people living in these trenches, we…
Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it.But the way these highly fragmented systems are designed and deployed often causes inefficiencies that can lead to wasted computation, energy, and cost. To improve efficiency, researchers from MIT and Microsoft developed an intelligent system that streamlines the process of designing agentic workflows and automatically optimizes how those workflows are implemented. With this new method, a developer can describe what they want the agentic workflow to do in plain language, without needing to specify all…
Slate Auto’s much-discussed sub-$25K electric truck is one step closer to reality. It’s now available for preorder on the company’s website. However, it could still be a year or two before drivers who preorder a Slate actually get their vehicles.The base model of the car is priced at $24,950 and there are a number of color and accessory options available. But Car and Driver points out that it’ll end up costing more than $25,000 after factoring in a destination and delivery fee that the company says will be lower than typical. Even so, that fee could still run $1,200 to $1,500.Even…
Apple’s first foldable iPhone has reportedly worked through the hinge problems that fueled speculation of a delay, with mass production now expected to start next month, according to a new report from The Elec. The timeline keeps the device on pace for a September launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. What went wrong with the hinge According to The Elec’s sources, the hinge mechanism produced a slight noise after durability testing that put it through millions of fold cycles. Manufacturing tolerances on parts of the assembly process also ran wider than expected, pushing defect rates higher than Apple wanted.…
Ravie LakshmananJun 24, 2026Vulnerability / Network Security The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday warned of active exploitation of a critical security flaw impacting Lantronix EDS5000 Series devices, urging Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to apply the fixes by June 26, 2026. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-67038 (CVSS score: 9.8), a code injection flaw that could result in the execution of arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. “The HTTP RPC module executes a shell command to write logs when the user’s authentication fails,” according to the vulnerability’s description on CVE.org. “The username is directly concatenated with…
Most marketing leaders will tell you their team is using AI. But there’s a difference between a team that uses AI and a team that’s getting better at it together and sharing their progress.
Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed below belong solely to the author. For the past few years, my commentary on regional ecommerce has revolved around the competition between Shopee and Lazada. The ambitious upstart from Singapore ended up pushing out the former market leader, even though it received backing from Chinese Alibaba. And just when it seemed that the war was settled, that Shopee would reign over Southeast Asia with its rivals scrambling for the breadcrumbs it left behind, TikTok—of all the brands—has decided to enter the fray as well. But what does a social media company know about…

HelloTwin.ai GmbH today announced what it calls an accountable artificial intelligence AI twin that holds business intelligence and goals in a single source of truth. HelloTwin said it built its data model on a patent-pending compiler designed to pull answers from business context rather than generate them. This means that the agentic identity for the business is deterministic; the company calls this “Digital Authority,” and it’s designed to be auditable and trusted to make business-critical decisions. “Agents are the hands. A Digital Authority is the head,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Kay Iversen. “It holds the goal, decides on governed…
