Sending humans to inspect bridges, transmission lines, and wind turbines is expensive, slow, and dangerous. A new generation of autonomous inspection drones is changing how critical infrastructure gets assessed — and the business case is getting hard to argue with.
Unity's 2023 runtime fee disaster reshuffled the game engine market in ways that are still playing out. Godot picked up thousands of migrating developers, Unreal deepened its hold on AAA, and Unity has spent two years rebuilding trust. Here's where things actually stand.
The race for AI leadership has moved beyond private companies. Governments from the UAE to Saudi Arabia to the US are committing sovereign capital at unprecedented scale to control the infrastructure that runs AI — and the data that trains it.
GLP-1 receptor agonists were approved to treat diabetes and then became a blockbuster weight-loss category. Now researchers are finding the drugs appear to reduce addiction, depression, and possibly neurodegeneration — and no one fully understands why.
BGP was built without security in mind. Four decades later, RPKI is the cryptographic fix finally reaching critical mass.
AI's power appetite has grown beyond what wind and solar can reliably deliver at scale. The technology industry's answer is an unlikely one: nuclear energy, both by reviving old plants and betting on small modular reactors still years from completion.
For decades, SQLite was treated as the database you use when you can't use a 'real' database. That mental model is wrong, and the infrastructure built around it in the last few years has made it genuinely competitive for a wide range of production workloads.
After five years of iterating on hinges and glass, foldable smartphones have largely solved their durability problems. The question now is whether the software experience justifies the price premium — and for whom.
NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. Here is what they specify, why the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat is already real, and the concrete steps IT teams need to take before quantum computers arrive.
Wi-Fi 7 promises multi-gigabit speeds and dramatically lower latency, but the real gains depend on hardware and use cases most homes do not have yet. Here is an honest look at what 802.11be actually delivers today.
Ethereum's bet on rollups as its primary scaling strategy has reshaped the entire ecosystem. Here is an honest assessment of where that bet has paid off, where it has fallen short, and what the next phase of the roadmap looks like.
After years of soldered-on RAM, a new memory module standard is making it possible to upgrade memory in slim laptops again — without sacrificing the power efficiency that drove soldering in the first place.
