Europe is done with American Big Tech. Well, sort of. Since the start of President Donald Trump’s chaotic second administration last year, concerned governments and companies across the continent have accelerated plans to end their near-total reliance on technology from US firms.Alongside political declarations, home-grown European tech development, and millions in additional funding, a WIRED analysis has documented dozens of public instances of companies, governments, NGOs, and education establishments stepping away from US technology companies in favor of open source or local alternatives. It is likely the tip of the iceberg.“The aggressive policies by the Trump administration, attacking international law,…

Most companies collect market intelligence and do nothing with it. And the problem here is that nobody built a system where it truly matters. Key Takeaways Dashboards and spreadsheets can’t tell you what to do with your data. A real market intelligence function can help close that gap between insight and action. Distribution determines whether intelligence actually moves decisions- the right insight has to reach the right person before the decision is already made. Organizations act on intelligence they trust, i.e., methodology, update frequency, and track record. That’s what builds credibility over time. Market intelligence compounds when it reaches sales,…

Data sourced from the Singapore Ministry of Manpower’s Report on Wage Practices 2025 released on May 28, 2026. While the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) already provided details on average and median salaries in Singapore a few months ago, we have only just received a complete breakdown by industry. While the median of S$5,775 represented a 5% increase over 2024, it is quite understandable that it doesn’t apply to every person or every business. It’s the nature of the economy that not all industries are doing equally well…
Your browser cache is a bit like a storage closet. It quietly stores copies of website files such as images, stylesheets, scripts, and fonts on your device. Thanks to the cache, websites load faster on repeat visits because your browser reuses files it already has instead of downloading them again. This not only results in faster page loads, but also saves data, uses less battery, and provides an overall better user experience. That said, like any storage closet, if you are not careful about cleaning it, the cache gets cluttered over time, and that’s when the trouble begins. A bloated…
A researcher has reverse-engineered the iOS SDK that Bright Data embeds in consumer apps and documented how it turns devices, including always-on smart TVs, into exit nodes that relay web-scraping traffic for a data business Bright Data markets heavily to the AI industry. The company, the successor to Luminati, operates what it calls the largest residential proxy network in the world, advertised at more than 400 million residential IPs. Part of that supply comes from this SDK, shipped inside free apps behind an opt-in screen and described as a consent-sourced pool of 150 million-plus IPs. The findings, published June 5…

(GeekWire Photo / Todd Bishop) REDMOND, Wash. — Startup founders used to worry that tech giants would make their product obsolete. Now it’s even trickier: AI labs are not only encroaching on startup turf, they’re also offering tools for customers to attempt DIY solutions of their own. The question of where…
Then there’s the missing removable storage. Yes, I’d prefer a card; it’s just easier to swap out a card in the field. But the BF does have 256 gigabytes of built-in storage. I can’t think of the last time I shot enough images to fill that much space before getting back to my laptop to download them. Which is to say that 256-gigabytes of storage is plenty for the nonprofessional photographer.Photograph: Scott GilbertsonThe main deal-breaker for me is the lack of a viewfinder. I still prefer to shoot through a viewfinder. It’s just muscle memory—hand me a camera, and I…
