NIST finalized four post-quantum cryptographic standards in August 2024. CISA has told federal agencies to complete inventory by 2026 and migration by 2030. Most private sector organizations haven't started. A practical guide to the threat model, the standards that matter, and where to begin.
Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses sold more than 4 million units in 2024 and proved that people will wear AI on their faces if the hardware is lightweight and the glasses look normal. Now Google has shipped Android XR glasses, Samsung is in the race, and the category is suddenly competitive in a way it hasn't been since Glass Enterprise Edition.
Pectra went live on Ethereum mainnet in May 2025 and immediately became the most consequential upgrade since The Merge. EIP-7702 — account abstraction for ordinary wallets — is the headline feature. What it enables in practice: transaction batching, gas sponsorship, and recovery options that could make self-custody genuinely accessible to non-technical users.
For most of the last decade, buying a thin laptop meant accepting that whatever RAM it shipped with was the RAM you'd have forever. LPCAMM2, a JEDEC-standardised memory module format first shipped in the Dell XPS 15 in late 2023, is changing that. In 2026, it has arrived in enough mainstream laptops to call it a trend.
OpenAI's o3, Claude 3.7 Sonnet's extended thinking, and DeepSeek R1 made "slow, deliberate AI reasoning" mainstream. But running a reasoning model on every task is like hiring a PhD to answer yes/no questions. Here's a practical framework for when extended thinking actually moves the needle — and when it just burns tokens.
Facial recognition systems are operating in airports, stadiums, schools, retail stores, and public streets in dozens of countries. The technology has improved dramatically and deployment has raced ahead of regulation. Here's where your face is being scanned, what the data is used for, and what protections actually exist.
There are now over 5 million used electric vehicles on the market in the US alone. Battery health is the central concern for buyers — but the data on real-world degradation shows the anxiety is often worse than the reality. Here's what the numbers actually look like, and how to evaluate a used EV properly.
The Dev Container specification, backed by VS Code, GitHub Codespaces, JetBrains, and the open-source community, is quietly solving the most persistent problem in software development: the gap between one developer's environment and another's. Here's how it works and when it actually makes sense.
NASA's CLPS program was supposed to bring competition and cost efficiency to lunar surface access. Two years after the first crashes and partial failures, the program is producing real results. Here's what the commercial Moon lander industry actually looks like in 2026.
Wing, Zipline, and Amazon Prime Air are running tens of thousands of deliveries per month in approved areas. The technology works. The FAA, infrastructure requirements, and economics are the constraints that will determine how fast the category scales.
Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, PlayStation Plus Premium, and Luna have all made cloud gaming a real service used by millions. But the fundamental physics of latency means cloud gaming will likely remain a secondary option for most players, not a replacement for local hardware.
A wave of startups is racing to build AI agents that don't just answer questions but complete multi-step tasks autonomously inside enterprise systems. The market is real, the competition is fierce, and the distinction between 'AI agent' and 'fancy chatbot' is harder to pin down than it looks.
