Apple users are already accustomed to managing app-level location permissions, and a new privacy feature in iOS 26.3 extends that control to cellular networks. Called Limit Precise Location, it reduces the amount of fine-grained location data that iPhones share with carriers. How it works Cellular networks collect location data by analyzing which network towers your device connects to as it moves. If you enable the Precise Location setting, the information your device shares with the cellular network becomes limited. This enhances your location privacy by allowing the network to identify only the neighborhood you are currently in, rather than your…

Dhruv Bhutani / Android AuthorityI’ve been an early adopter of Google’s smart home ecosystem, using their devices and assistants since the very first iteration. But it’s safe to say that for the longest time, the promise of a digital assistant has been stuck in a cycle of setting kitchen timers and reading out the weather. Google Assistant, Siri, and even the newer Gemini integrations are essentially voice-activated search engines with a few smart home toggles attached. They operate within a very specific, very safe sandbox. While agentic control of your smartphone seems to be the future — and despite experimental…
Malcolm Jack wants you to understand that when it comes to cybersecurity, people are just as important as technology. Jack is the chief technology officer for Watsonville, California-based contractor Granite, which announced a significant tech milestone for government contracting in December: reaching Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2. The CMMC framework requires government contractors to certify their cybersecurity practices to meet the federal government’s standards, and it’s a must-have to handle controlled unclassified information, according to the announcement. By Oct. 31, 2026, all contracts with the Department of War, formerly the Department of Defense, will require the appropriate CMMC certificate.…
Google published a research paper about creating a challenging dataset for training AI agents for deep research. The paper offers insights into how agentic AI deep research works, which implies insights for optimizing content. The acronym SAGE stands for Steerable Agentic Data Generation for Deep Search with Execution Feedback. Synthetic Question And Answer Pairs The researchers noted that the previous state of the art AI training datasets (like Musique and HotpotQA) required no more than four reasoning steps in order to answer the questions. On the number of searches needed to answer a question, Musique averages 2.7 searches per question…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. The Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2 are pretty user-friendly devices, but sometimes, that can be a bit more of a hindrance than a help. It’s easy to jump right into a game, but if you want to toggle on a feature like dark mode or, say, even make a Mii, you have to jump through a lot of hoops in the settings menus. That’s a shame, because if you’re willing to learn the ins-and-outs, there’s a lot you can do on these systems, whichever version of the Switch you…
The latest phase of the global law enforcement action resulted in seizing three industrial-scale illegal IPTV services. The operation, coordinated by Europol, Eurojust, and Interpol, was led by Italy’s District Prosecutor’s Office of Catania and Italian State Police, extending to 11 cities and 14 countries worldwide. The focus of the action in Italy is because the country is hosting the Winter Olympics in Milan, scheduled to take place between February 6 and 22, hence cracking down on illegal broadcasts of the sports events is a priority for the local authorities. Apart from seizing infrastructure, the police also identified 31 individuals suspected…
The Raspberry Pi is a box of tricks that can do almost anything you’d want from a small computer in the home. It can run a smart home server, host cloud storage, and even replace your Roku as a full-blown media center. But limitations do exist, and I’ve recently run into one. I can’t stream PS5 games to my Pi My PS5 doesn’t get enough use. I’m mostly an Xbox gamer on account of being quite happy with Game Pass, and the fact that we have two Series X consoles in the home. This means I can buy a game…
SentinelOne and Censys identified AI infrastructure spanning 175,000 exposed Ollama hosts, operating without the typical guardrails and monitoring that providers implement. Over 293 days of research, the security firms made 7.23 million observations distributed across 130 countries and 4,032 autonomous system numbers (ASNs), with 23,000 hosts accounting for most of the activity. Roughly half of the identified hosts could execute code, access APIs, and interact with external systems, SentinelOne says. The cybersecurity firm explains that a small set of transient hosts accounted for most of the observed activity. Specifically, 13% of the hosts appeared in more than 100 observations (generating…
We analyzed nearly two million LLM sessions across nine industries from January through December 2025. We started with a simple assumption: ChatGPT dominates, usage patterns are uniform, and the volume is small and inconsequential. The data proved us wrong. ChatGPT commands 84.1% of trackable AI discovery traffic, but it functions primarily as the default tool for broad-market discovery. That reality changes the strategy. Brands can no longer rely on a single, discovery-first approach. You need a multi-platform strategy that aligns with how users expect to be productive at different moments. Success now depends on knowing which platforms actively enable user…
