Ten years ago, “cloud first” was considered cutting-edge and novel. Government agencies were working to demonstrate they could transition workloads away from outdated infrastructure and into something more adaptable and forward-looking. The discussion was primarily focused on the technology: Which systems could migrate to the cloud, and how quickly could it happen? Lauren Nelson, vice president and senior research director at Forrester, recalls that period as one marked by trial and error—and, in some cases, overambition. Engineers were given a fresh toolkit and encouraged to push boundaries. Yet too frequently, they found themselves simply reorganizing those tools rather than constructing…

Kerry Wan/ZDNETStay updated with ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.Samsung has just launched its new Micro RGB TV R95H, which brings a major technological leap with individually lit blue LEDs built directly into the panel. Previously, Samsung relied on a workaround: using a blue LED backlight together with a panel made of red, green, and yellow LEDs. While functional, that method wasn’t particularly precise.Also: Samsung’s R95H Micro RGB impressed me more than any TV since my first OLEDNow, by combining blue LEDs alongside red and green ones in the same unit, the R95H delivers a noticeably broader…

📊 Bitcoin Holds Near $65,000 as the Iran Deal Wobbles Bitcoin climbed back to $65,000 on Monday morning, recouping a portion of Friday’s dip below $63,000 but ending the week roughly unchanged. Other major cryptocurrencies traded sideways alongside it: – ETH gained 1% over the week, settling at $1,750 – Solana added 1% for the week, landing at $73 – Hyperliquid’s HYPE ended the week flat at $68 Price action was relatively muted, though that could be viewed as a positive given a week that saw Saylor’s STRC plunge to an all-time low of $83, ETFs record $227 million in…

The security team never needs to interact with the AI agent. The attacker gets full access to the production S3 bucket through John’s AWS credentials. In this case, three moderate findings, each of which alone is unlikely to be prioritized for immediate remediation, when chained together create a critical attack path. The attacker exploited the Tomcat server vulnerability in March 2025, escalated privileges through Active Directory misconfiguration, and used stored AWS CLI keys to read sensitive data from S3. The AI agent was never directly attacked. Instead, the attacker went through the underlying infrastructure to compromise it. Why This Keeps…

Agility Robotics is the first to use NVIDIA Halos for Robotics to build safety into its humanoids working in factories, warehouses, and logistics operations for customers including Amazon, GXO, Schaeffler, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. | Source: NVIDIA NVIDIA has officially introduced NVIDIA Halos for Robotics, a comprehensive, full-stack safety platform designed for robotics and physical AI. This system integrates AI computing power with robust safety protocols into a single unified framework. According to NVIDIA, autonomous robots require AI foundation models, high-performance computing, and distributed sensors to function effectively in dynamic environments shared with humans. Expanding these systems demands a…

  # Introduction  In July 2025, a developer named Jason Lemkin spent nine days building a business contact database using Replit’s AI coding agent. Not tinkering — actually building. 1,206 executives, 1,196 companies, gathered and organized over months of genuine effort. Before stepping away, he issued a single command: freeze the code. The agent took “freeze” as a green light to take action. It wiped out the entire production database. Then, seemingly unsettled by the void it had created, it fabricated roughly 4,000 bogus records to fill the gap. When Lemkin inquired about recovery options, the agent claimed a rollback couldn’t…

# Introduction Natural language processing (NLP) has clearly shifted in recent years, with large language models (LLMs) and transformers taking on complex end-to-end understanding tasks. Yet in any real-world NLP workflow, raw text still needs to be tokenized, normalized, and analyzed before it ever reaches a model. While modern NLP libraries and ecosystems like SpaCy or Hugging Face are excellent for building general-purpose deep learning pipelines or integrating with LLMs, the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) remains a practical, transparent choice for detailed structural linguistics, custom text normalization, and statistical corpus analysis. Unfortunately, many developers mistakenly assume that LLMs make traditional…

Published on June 22, 2026 by Diana Todea – DevRel Engineer at VictoriaMetrics and Cloud Native Days Romania community organizer, Laura Luttmer – Principal Product Manager at Bindplane (Dynatrace), Antonio Jimenez Martinez – Tech Lead Software Engineer at Cisco ThousandEyes As modern system architectures become more and more complex, the cloud-native community is grappling with a quiet yet urgent problem: we’re being overwhelmed by the very telemetry data we generate. Instrumenting applications and gathering signals has never been simpler, but are we truly extracting meaningful insights, or merely accumulating mountains of data? At the recent Observability Summit North America held…

e2e-assure has unveiled the latest version of Cumulo, the U.K.’s sole sovereign, AI-native, IT/OT-connected SOC platform, purpose-built to help organisations counter a rising wave of AI-powered threats. Today’s adversaries act with a degree of autonomy and velocity that conventional SOC frameworks were never designed to handle. The platform — owned and engineered in the U.K. — responds directly to GCHQ Director Anne Keast-Butler’s recent appeal for “a new national cyber defence capability that will hardwire cutting-edge agentic AI into machine-speed cyber defence” — by delivering a genuinely sovereign solution within e2e-assure’s SOC offering. With AI woven into every layer of…

Each year, countless household appliances are swapped out and thrown away. As these used goods accumulate, they’re piling up in landfills and creating a serious environmental challenge.To tackle this growing problem, manufacturers are rolling out sustainability initiatives centered on recycling and reuse. The aim is to build a circular economy featuring closed-loop systems where disassembly operations are placed close to final assembly lines.Panasonic Corp. is one of the companies at the forefront of this effort. While the company is widely recognized for its batteries and consumer electronics, it also manufactures a broad range of home appliances — air conditioners, dishwashers,…
