Google is fixing a long-running Search Console bug that inflated impression counts. As the fix rolls out, reported impressions will decrease. What happened. A logging error caused Google Search Console to over-report impressions starting May 13, 2025. Google today updated its Data anomalies in Search Console page: “A logging error is preventing Search Console from accurately reporting impressions from May 13, 2025 onward. This issue will be resolved over the next few weeks; as a result, you may notice a decrease in impressions in the Search Console Performance report. Clicks and other metrics were not affected by the error, and…
While the very public fight continues between the Department of Defense and Anthropic over whether the government can punish a company for refusing to allow its technology to be used for mass surveillance, another branch of the U.S. government is quietly working to ensure that this dispute will never happen again. How? By rewriting government procurement rules. Using procurement — meaning, the processes by which governments acquire goods and services– to accomplish policy goals is a time-honored and often appropriate strategy. The government literally expresses its politics and priorities by deciding where and how it spends its money. To that…
One of the many downsides of the recent bubble has been AI’s voracious appetite for hardware. Massive price rises have hit a number of previously cheap components, most notably for RAM. Increases of hundreds of dollars have been seen, and it’s not hard to see how those price increases will hit every aspect of consumer technology. Smartphones are certainly not immune. While we’ve been shielded from the price increases by manufacturer stockpiles bought before “RAMageddon”, those stocks are dwindling, and we may soon see the true financial impact of letting AI hoover up all the RAM. And while prices for…
Google, OpenAI, and Shopify insist that the next revolution in AI is agentic AI shopping agents. Shopping is a lucrative area for AI to burrow into. The thing that I keep thinking is that shopping is a deeply important activity to humans; it’s literally a part of our DNA. Is surrendering the shopping experience something the general public is willing to do? Agentic AI shopping is like a personal assistant that you tell what you want and maybe why you need it, plus some features and a price range. The AI will go out and do the research and comparison…
C. Scott Brown / Android AuthorityRight now, Samsung is knocking $150 off every Galaxy Tab S11 storage tier. That drops the 128GB model to $649.99 from $799.99, the 256GB model to $709.99 from $859.99, and the 512GB model to $829.99 from $979.99. You can also save up to $500 with a tablet trade-in, though that offer unfortunately doesn’t stack with the instant savings.Just because it isn’t the top-spec device in the family, you’re still getting a lot for your money. The Tab S11 offers an 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, 12GB of RAM on…
Cisco has fixed ten vulnerabilities affecting its Integrated Management Controller (IMC), the most critical of which (CVE-2026-20093) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and gain access to the system as Admin. Cisco ICM riddled with vulnerabilities Cisco Integrated Management Controller is a built-in hardware management system used in Cisco servers. It allows administrators to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot a server, even if the operating system isn’t running. (That’s because Cisco IMC is powered by a Baseboard Management Controller inside the server, which runs its own firmware and has its own IP address.) Nine out of the…

It includes a 90-day limited warranty through Woot, which is shorter than JBL’s standard coverage but still decent. That said, it ships without a charging brick or USB-C cable,…
Amazon was contacted for comment on the latest Bahrain drone incident, but said it had nothing to add beyond the statement in its current advisory. Denial of infrastructure Doing the damage is the Shaheed 136, a small and unsophisticated drone designed to overwhelm defenders with numbers. If only one in twenty reaches its target, the price-performance still exceeds that of more expensive systems. When aimed at critical infrastructure such as datacenters, the effect is also psychological; the threat of an attack on its own can be enough to make it difficult for organizations to continue using an at-risk facility. Iran’s…
Ransomware’s Real-World Impact Across Industries In February 2026, the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) fell victim to a ransomware attack. The incident took the Epic electronic health record system offline across 35 clinics and more than 200 telehealth sites, forcing the cancellation of chemotherapy appointments and the postponement of non-emergency surgeries. Medical staff were required to revert to paper-based workflows, leaving countless patients to bear the consequences. UMMC is far from an isolated case. According to recent data, 93% of U.S. healthcare organizations experienced at least one cyberattack in 2025, and 72% of respondents reported that at least one…
