Redpanda announced the availability of new core capabilities in the Redpanda Agentic Data Plane (ADP), including a centralized AI gateway, AI observability and evaluation via OpenTelemetry, AI agents, and unified authentication and authorization. Together, these features form a unified governance layer that allows enterprises to securely connect AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to live enterprise data with visibility and control. As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, the challenge has shifted from building agents to governing them. “This is why the enterprise agentic AI market is struggling while consumer AI flourishes,” said Tyler Akidau, CTO of…

The new vivo V70 keeps some of the best features of the V60 while also bringing some changes that you can appreciate. Here’s what’s new and what’s the same. The V70 now has a flat 6.59” OLED display (1,260 x 2,750px), replacing the quad-curved 6.77” panel of the previous model. The display is brighter, with peak global brightness of 1,800 nits and peak local brightness of 5,000 nits (compared to 1,500 nits global and 5,000 nits local). It is a 10-bit panel with 120Hz refresh rate like before. An important upgrade is the switch to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, which…
A state-linked adversary has begun to pivot from the Ukraine war with new attacks targeting Europe and the U.S.
Microsoft Advertising is rolling out multi-image ads for Shopping campaigns in Bing search results, giving ecommerce brands a richer way to showcase products and capture shopper attention before the click. What’s new. Advertisers can now display multiple product images within a single Shopping ad, letting shoppers preview different angles, styles or variations directly in search. The format is designed to make ads more visually engaging and informative, helping consumers compare options quickly without leaving the results page. How it works: Additional images are uploaded through the optional additional_image_link attribute in the product feed. Advertisers can include up to 10 images,…
AI assistants like Grok and Microsoft Copilot with web browsing and URL-fetching capabilities can be abused to intermediate command-and-control (C2) activity. Researchers at cybersecurity company Check Point discovered that threat actors can use AI services to relay communication between the C2 server and the target machine. Attackers can exploit this mechanism to deliver commands and retrieve stolen data from victim systems. The researchers created a proof-of-concept to show how it all works and disclosed their findings to Microsoft and xAI. AI as a stealthy relay Instead of malware connecting directly to a C2 server hosted on the attacker’s infrastructure, Check Point’s idea…
Researchers have identified more than a dozen vulnerabilities in popular PDF platforms from Foxit and Apryse, demonstrating how attackers could have exploited them for account takeover, data exfiltration, and other attacks. The vulnerabilities were discovered by researchers at penetration testing startup Novee, which emerged from stealth mode in January 2026 with over $51 million in funding. The findings were responsibly disclosed to Foxit and Apryse, and both vendors have patched the reported vulnerabilities. Novee’s research targeted Apryse WebViewer and Foxit PDF cloud services. Apryse WebViewer, formerly PDFTron, is a JavaScript-based document SDK and UI component library that enables developers to…
Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean said Flash’s low latency and cost are why Google can run Search AI at scale. Retrieval is a design choice, not a limitation, he added. In an interview on the Latent Space podcast, Dean explained why Flash became the production tier for Search. He also laid out why the pipeline that narrows the web to a handful of documents will likely persist. Google started rolling out Gemini 3 Flash as the default for AI Mode in December. Dean’s interview explains the rationale behind that decision. Why Flash Is The Production Tier Dean called latency the…
For some people, one of the best upgrades they can make is changing to an ergonomic mouse. It’s a simple change that can make a huge difference when it comes to reducing fatigue and stress on your arm and wrist. Mind you, it’s not going to be for everyone, but if you can get used to the shape, and you aren’t doing any gaming, we think an ergonomic mouse is going to be a great fit. And if the price tag of some ergonomic mice has been keeping you away, well, this one from Anker that’s just $17 should give…
Power availability has become a gating factor for many data center projects, particularly where developers need larger connections or rapid delivery. Grid constraints can also influence where operators place compute for low-latency AI workloads. “Inference has to live close to people, data and applications, in and around major cities, smaller metros and industrial hubs where there is rarely a spare 50 or 100 megawatts sitting on the grid, and almost never a mature hydrogen ecosystem,” said Bachar. In typical data center design, the facilities are planned around 1 energy source, be it electrical grid, solar and other renewables, or diesel…
With any new phone, or even a line that’s been tested and refined, you’re going to have people reporting problems. It can come in the form of a hardware or software issue, but someone, somewhere, is going to have a less than ideal experience. It’s just bound to happen and seeing complaints online can have an effect that magnifies the problem even when it’s not that big of a deal. Of course, it’s still important to take these complaints seriously, because, as we’ve seen in the past, they can end up becoming a huge deal. With that said, we’re getting…
