We’ve upgraded Browser Run by rebuilding it on top of Cloudflare’s Containers, allowing for higher usage limits, faster performance, and better reliability.With the Workers binding, you can now launch 60 browsers per minute and run up to 120 at the same time. This is 4 times the previous limit. Plus, Quick Action is now over 50% faster. You don’t need to do anything; these improvements are effective immediately. We are also releasing new features and bug fixes at a quicker pace. Keep reading to understand how we achieved this and to look at the performance data. Quick recap: what is…

Telenor has signed a deal with Verdane to create a co-ownership arrangement for Telenor Connexion. The deal places a valuation of SEK 7.5 billion on the company. The collaboration aims to unlock the full potential of Telenor Connexion’s strong market position and give it access to long-term growth funding through an efficient ownership framework. Over the last 25 years, Telenor Connexion has developed a leading global presence in managed IoT services and connectivity solutions for major international clients. The market is forecast to expand at double-digit rates through to 2030. Currently, the company ranks among the top ten providers worldwide…

Image courtesy of ADI Clear vision matters. But what follows is just as critical. Not long ago, simply getting a robot to travel from one location to another was considered a success. Those days are gone. Modern robots must move at higher speeds, function in ever-changing surroundings, and handle a growing number of obstacles in their path. With these rising expectations, vision systems have become essential for both navigation and spatial understanding. “The primary hurdle today isn’t just about image clarity,” says Stephen Liu, robotics lead at embedded systems developer Advantech. “It’s about orchestrating the entire system. As the number…

Scenario: You’re part of the operations team at a mid-sized company. Each day, your team handles order forms from various B2B clients. These forms all come as PDFs, and in principle, they include the same core details: customer ID, purchase order number, delivery date, and the items ordered. In reality, though, no two documents look quite alike. One client might place the purchase order number in the top-left corner, while another puts it in the bottom-right. Some label it “PO Number,” while others use “Order ID,” “Order Reference,” or something entirely different. For us as humans, this isn’t usually an…

In brief Lawmakers submitted a flurry of eleventh-hour amendments to the Clarity Act before Thursday's critical committee vote. The suggested revisions address stablecoin incentives, Trump-linked crypto projects, decentralized finance oversight, and regulations against money laundering. Several amendments stray beyond the crypto realm entirely, with proposals covering housing policy, credit card charges, and the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. With under 24 hours remaining before the Senate Banking Committee's pivotal vote on the Clarity Act, senators have put forward dozens of amendments to this sweeping crypto legislation.During tomorrow's session, legislators will cast votes on incorporating each amendment to the wide-ranging bill—which…

A security researcher has released working proof-of-concept (PoC) code targeting two previously unknown Microsoft Windows flaws, dubbed YellowKey and GreenPlasma. The first is a BitLocker bypass, while the second is a privilege-escalation vulnerability. Operating under the aliases Chaotic Eclipse and Nightmare Eclipse, the researcher characterizes the BitLocker bypass as effectively functioning like a backdoor, since the vulnerable component exists solely within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)—the tool used to fix boot-related problems in Windows. These latest disclosures come on the heels of the researcher’s earlier revelations of BlueHammer (CVE-2026-33825) and RedSun (no CVE assigned), both local privilege escalation (LPE) zero-days…

Terry Gerton Today, we’re diving into grants management—a recurring theme in GAO reports. You’ve examined it across multiple administrations and various crises, and you’ve just released another report highlighting ongoing challenges in this area. Before we explore the findings of this latest report, could you first explain what makes federal grants management so inherently complex. Can you set the stage for us? Jeff Arkin Certainly. There are several factors at play. When we discuss grants management across the federal government, we’re referring to dozens of agencies overseeing more than a thousand distinct grant programs. Each program has unique objectives and…

In today’s fast-growing Internet of Things (IoT) world, presence detection and ranging technologies are becoming the foundation of intelligent spaces — from hospitals and construction sites to factory floors and smart vehicles. However, most connected devices today are still held back by older short-range wireless technologies that were never built for low-power, high-responsiveness sensing. As the need for real-time, energy-efficient, and interference-resistant systems grows, a fresh approach is essential. Bluetooth LE and traditional ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies have performed well in presence and proximity detection roles. Yet as embedded systems move toward deeper context awareness, these older platforms face growing criticism…

Image courtesy of ADI Vision has become a core sensing technology in today’s robotics. As robots grow more autonomous, perceptive, and scalable, the methods used to transmit image data have advanced alongside them. Early robotic vision systems depended mainly on USB and Ethernet camera connections, drawing from PC and industrial networking standards. These solutions supported early development and quick prototyping. Now, Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link™ (GMSL™), initially created for automotive camera systems, is emerging as a superior option that fits the design requirements of next-generation robots. This article explores how robotic vision connectivity has developed, looking at why older interfaces…
