(BigStock Photo) This story first appeared in the Washington State Standard. Avery Ping had a knack for noticing who in a room might be having a bad day and checking in on them. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. But the Olympia teen was addicted to his screen, his father Aaron said. He wanted to get away from his phone, and Aaron was adamant about limiting his screen time. “For a developing teenage brain, it’s going to be training that brain for impulsive behavior,” Aaron Ping said. “Dopamine reward schedules, it has a really harmful effect on the developing mind.” Aaron…

As organizations increasingly shift workloads, data, and applications to the cloud, the security landscape becomes more complicated. You’re no longer just managing a single environment, you’re managing dozens of services, containers, and APIs that are all interrelated and deployed across multiple clouds. This increased complexity has made traditional security tools less effective, which is why it’s important that you have Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) as a foundational offering in your modern cloud defense.But with so many options available out there, the issue is understanding what features actually matter. Not all CNAPP solutions are equal in terms of providing protection, visibility, or automation. Some solutions are simply posture management, while…

The New York Stock Exchange plans to launch a trading venue that will enable investors to buy and sell tokenized stocks. The NYSE’s parent company, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., announced the initiative today. A tokenized stock is a digital asset pegged to the share price of a publicly traded company. Tokenized stocks can also be tied to an investment vehicle known as an ETF, or exchange-traded fund. Such funds often own multiple assets such as a basket of stocks. The NYSE plans to support tokenized versions of both regular corporate shares and ETFs. According to the exchange operator, its upcoming trading…

As 2025 comes to a close, artificial intelligence has completed a decisive transition – from experimental technology and competitive differentiator to critical global infrastructure. This was the year AI left the laboratory and became embedded in daily life, enterprise operations, public services, and geopolitical strategy. From Generative AI to Agentic AI The most significant technical shift of 2025 was the move from passive generative systems to agentic AI. Large Language Models (LLMs) evolved from conversational assistants into autonomous systems capable of planning, executing multi-step workflows, and adapting to changing conditions with limited human oversight. This shift reframed how organizations use…

If it feels like the tech people in your life and on your timeline have collectively lost their minds — but, like, more than usual — that’s just the Claude Code experience at work.Now if you know what I’m talking about, you’re either vibe coding so hard you’re about to dissolve into a digital rapture or you’re in a cold sweat and drafting your “I, for one, welcome our AI overlords” email.But if you think Claude Code sounds like a New York Times word game you haven’t gotten around to trying out, this FAQ is for you.Okay, so, what is…

Building out an IoT environment is a little like the old Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. All the stuff on the top is only any good if all the stuff on the bottom is good, starting with power. This week, I couldn’t even get that right, but thankfully, sparky to rescue and ensuite underfloor heating disconnected, and we now have reliable power again. On top of that is the layer that has increasingly been my nemesis – the network. Two days after recording, I’ve just spent the better part of the entire day making a much more concerted effort to adjust…

In a saturated market, B2B buyers are drowning in generic outreach and redundant vendor options. Does your Target Account Selling strategy provide clarity or add to the clutter? B2B buying and selling is a neural system. As the market matures, its complexity increases. The earlier market had fewer participants. There were more monopolies and simpler buying criteria. However, today’s mature markets have more stakeholders. Tools and vendors are redundant, and there’s high internal and external noise. If the early market was a sparse network, the current market is a dense neural mesh. Small signals- narratives, incentives, and data- are dampened.…

While the headlines of the ongoing AI revolution are often dominated by large language models and generative software, the silent war is being fought in the data center. The hardware required to feed, train, and infer upon these models is undergoing a radical transformation. It is within this context that Lenovo’s announcement on December 10, 2025, regarding its new ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile portfolios must be viewed. Lenovo has unveiled an expansive series of data storage, virtualization solutions, and management services. At face value, this is a product refresh. However, when viewed through the lens of Lenovo’s historical trajectory and current…

Instant cameras have become a popular category for one simple reason: they’re fun. You can whip one out at a party or event and take a snap, then a couple of minutes later you have a real, physical, instant photo that everyone can touch, feel and enjoy instead of staring at a screen. It’s also a lot cooler than a smartphone shot thanks to the retro, nostalgic vibes of analog photography.Given the large number of camera brands on the market, choosing one can be tricky. That’s why we’ve put together this buying guide that will help you choose the best…

Just a few years ago, the cloud was touted as the “magic pill” for any cyber threat or performance issue. Many were lured by the “always-on” dream, trading granular control for the convenience of managed services. In recent years, many of us have learned (often the hard way) that public cloud service providers are not immune to attacks and SaaS downtime, hiding behind the Shared Responsibility cushion. To stay operational, competitive, and resilient in today’s threat landscape, teams must move beyond the dependency on SaaS providers and understand what cyber resilience really means. The Myth of DevOps SaaS Resilience In…
