Two ex-federal immigration judges contesting their 2025 dismissals have received an uncommon full-court review in their lawsuit, which claims their firings were illegal. On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit approved a request for an initial en banc hearing in Jackler v. DOJ, a case concerning two immigration judges terminated by the Department of Justice last year, citing Article II of the Constitution as justification. Washington Litigation Group is representing the dismissed immigration judges Megan Jackler and Brandon Jaroch. The appellants contend their dismissals happened without justification or due process, directly breaching the Civil Service Reform…

Silicon Labs has successfully deployed a 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network to demonstrate the scalability of commercial IoT hardware.The chipmaker revealed this real-world deployment at the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) first-ever Unify event. The test results offer concrete proof that the Matter standard can handle large-scale environments like commercial buildings, factories, and apartment complexes. The industry is now moving beyond basic compatibility testing and focusing on real-world validation at genuine enterprise scale.Daniel Cooley, CTO of Silicon Labs, commented: “Matter is quickly growing from a smart home solution into a platform ready for much larger deployments.”This project shows not just that Matter-over-Thread…

The next crypto user may start outside exchangesFor most of crypto’s history, new users followed a fairly standard path. They signed up on an exchange, completed identity checks, learned how wallets worked, bought their first cryptocurrency and only then started exploring decentralized applications (DApps).It was rarely a smooth process.Wallet addresses often looked intimidating. Seed phrases confused beginners and gas fees were hard to understand. Even buying a small amount of Bitcoin could mean using several platforms and dealing with unfamiliar ideas.This process is slowly changing.Instead of starting on an exchange or wallet app, tomorrow’s users may begin with a simple…

Every major technological shift reshapes cybersecurity. Throughout my career, I’ve navigated significant transitions—from the emergence of the commercial internet to the rise of mobile and cloud computing. Each wave brought fresh opportunities for innovation, but also introduced new security challenges that organizations weren’t fully equipped to handle. AI shares similarities with past technological shifts, yet it stands apart in a crucial way: it undermines a core assumption underlying modern security frameworks—predictability. For most of my professional life, security teams worked within environments where systems behaved predictably. Applications typically ran the same way each time. Infrastructure evolved slowly enough for teams…

Every four years, billions of people around the world do the same thing at the same time: watch a goal, wear a jersey, check a score, share a replay. The final match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was seen by 1.4 billion viewers worldwide, and an average of 175 million people watched each game. These aren’t isolated moments spread out over time—they’re massive, synchronized spikes that reveal a major weakness in the digital systems that power them. For example, during the Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, many users of Paramount+ experienced crashes, constant buffering, and error messages that made…

Government departments are rolling out Google Cloud’s generative AI tools across local councils to streamline planning operations.Public sector bodies manage enormous amounts of unstructured data that slow down infrastructure projects. The UK government has set a goal to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029. Local planning authorities face administrative bottlenecks due to heavy paperwork, which delays these construction targets.To tackle these challenges, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) scaled up two machine learning tools designed to speed up local government processing. At the Google Cloud Summit London,…
