The Samsung Galaxy S26 isn’t even official yet, and plenty are calling it a disappointment. Comprehensive spec leaks over the last week have given us what should be a clear picture of Samsung’s new offerings, and the reactions have been fast and furious. Before the phones are even announced, they’ve been marked as boring and incremental, and that’s misleading. It’s important to separate enthusiast disappointment over a lackluster upgrade from practical buying advice. Like many others, I absolutely have a wishlist of what I’d like to see on Samsung’s next flagship phones, but I won’t declare the devices a disaster…

Hackers are actively exploiting the CVE-2026-1731 vulnerability in the BeyondTrust Remote Support product, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warns. The security issue affects BeyondTrust’s Remote Support 25.3.1 or earlier and Privileged Remote Access 24.3.4 or earlier, and can be exploited for remote code execution. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on February 13 and gave federal agencies just three days to apply the patch or stop using the product. BeyondTrust initially disclosed CVE-2026-1731 on February 6. The security advisory classified it as a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability caused by an OS command injection weakness, exploitable via specially crafted…

“Switching is essentially a simpler operation. You just kind of send a packet or not,” Ayyar explained. “Routing is a more complex operation. You tell the packet where to go and what to do. You have a lot more richness and policy in what you do on the routing front.” That policy-rich routing foundation is what Arrcus is now applying to AI inference. The inference problem and how AINF addresses it As AI workloads shift from centralized training to distributed inference, the network faces a different class of demands. Inference nodes are geographically dispersed and must satisfy simultaneous constraints around…

NIST has developed a chip that reliably emits a single photon on demand. This ability will improve the efficiency of QKD (quantum key distribution) as we prepare for the arrival of quantum computers. Quantum computers will upend current cryptology by using Shor’s algorithm to rapidly negate the current public/private key secure encryption methods. This has largely been solved by NIST’s post quantum cryptology (PQC) algorithms. Knowledge of this future is driving the ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ spate of data exfiltration – companies may not even know their encrypted data has been stolen. But adversaries, including, if not primarily, nation state…

Google acquired the excellent photo editor Snapseed back in 2012—not long after Apple had crowned it one of its apps of the year—and despite having plenty to offer and being completely free to use, it remains one of Google’s lesser-known apps. That might be about to change. Snapseed’s latest update for iOS, version 3.15.0, comes with a full camera app inside—and there’s a case to be made that it’s better than Apple’s default Camera app. It certainly offers more in the way of manual shooting controls, with the added benefit of an entire integrated suite of editing features.Using Snapseed’s built-in…

Information retrieval systems are designed to satisfy a user. To make a user happy with the quality of their recall. It’s important we understand that. Every system and its inputs and outputs are designed to provide the best user experience. From the training data to similarity scoring and the machine’s ability to “understand” our tired, sad bullshit – this is the third in a series I’ve titled, information retrieval for morons. Image Credit: Harry Clarkson-Bennett TL;DR In the vector space model, the distance between vectors represents the relevance (similarity) between the documents or items. Vectorization has allowed search engines to perform concept searching…
