We all use LLMs daily. Most of us use them at work. Many of us use them heavily. People in tech — yes, you — use LLMs at twice the rate of the general population. Many of us spend more than a full day each week using them — yes, me. Even those of us who rely on LLMs regularly get frustrated when they don’t respond the way we want. Here’s how to communicate with LLMs when you’re vibe coding. The same lessons apply if you find yourself in drawn-out “conversations” with an LLM UI like ChatGPT while trying to…
Home labs are typically characterized by larger-than-life server rigs and cutting-edge PCs that cost an arm and a leg, with the ongoing RAM-apocalypse inflating the hardware prices to unforeseen levels. This notion also extends to network stack, secondary rigs, storage drives, and other accessories that you’ll probably want to add to your experimentation setup. But as someone who began his home lab with nothing more than spare PC parts and a dream, let me assure you that it’s possible to assemble a formidable server with your old system. In fact, you don’t have to drop a fortune on optional paraphernalia,…

In this SaaS LLM visibility case study, we’ll break down exactly how Descript is getting seen. And more importantly, what you can copy to improve visibility for your own…
If you’re someone that’s been using Google products and services for quite some time, you’ll know that the brand has a tendency to release, change, shut down, reinvent, and even revive its products and services. While Google does offer some excellent experiences, if there’s one thing that any die-hard user has learned over the years is that you shouldn’t get too attached. The Google Weather app has been a fan-favorite for some time now, especially when Froggy would add a touch of flair to the experience. And despite the app’s ups and downs, it’s one that you would never really…
Ravie LakshmananFeb 20, 2026Malware / Threat Intelligence Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new ClickFix campaign that abuses compromised legitimate sites to deliver a previously undocumented remote access trojan (RAT) called MIMICRAT (aka AstarionRAT). “The campaign demonstrates a high level of operational sophistication: compromised sites spanning multiple industries and geographies serve as delivery infrastructure, a multi-stage PowerShell chain performs ETW and AMSI bypass before dropping a Lua-scripted shellcode loader, and the final implant communicates over HTTPS on port 443 using HTTP profiles that resemble legitimate web analytics traffic,” Elastic Security Labs said in a Friday report. According to the…
