I love sinking my teeth into a meaty drama, but sometimes you want something a bit less demanding. There are lots of comedy shows out there that just want to make you laugh, and if you end up doing a little thinking in between, all the better. Such is the case with The ‘Burbs, a new Peacock original series based on the Tom Hanks movie of the same name from 1989. In that film, Hanks is a suburban native who teams up with his wacky neighbors to investigate his creepy neighbors. Is there really something wrong afoot, or is suburban…

Palo Alto Networks has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Koi, giving enterprises the power to finally see and protect the AI-native ecosystem that defines modern work. The new imperative: Agentic endpoint security Traditional security was built to stop malicious files, but AI agents and tools can actively read, write, and move data.

The endpoint attack surface is also evolving beyond traditional executables, with extensions, plugins, packages, scripts and model artifacts…

Wisconsin’s S.B. 130 / A.B. 105 is a spectacularly bad idea. It’s an age-verification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites for Wisconsinites and censors lawful speech. We wrote about it last November in our blog “Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They’re Doing,” but since then, the bill has passed the State Assembly and is scheduled for a vote in the State Senate tomorrow. In light of this, EFF sent a letter to the entire Wisconsin Legislature urging lawmakers to reject this dangerous bill. You can read the full letter here. The short…

If you’ve read many blogs about Performance Max in the past few years, you probably have a fairly specific opinion of it: it’s a black box from Google. And I’ll admit, I’m guilty of having this opinion and sharing that sentiment. But in my defense, it was well earned…until recently. In the last year or so, Google has made an effort to open up Performance Max campaigns for better controls and insights. It’s now much easier to understand what’s going on with PMax, so in this article, we want to walk you through all the ways you can track and…

A Spanish court has granted precautionary measures against NordVPN and ProtonVPN, ordering the two popular VPN providers to block 16 websites that facilitate piracy of football matches. The restrictions will apply to a dynamic list of IP addresses in Spain, and there will be no opportunity for appeals. The measures were taken ‘inaudita parte’, meaning that the defendants weren’t called to participate in a hearing. LaLiga – the country’s professional football organizer, and its broadcasting partner, Telefónica, are required to “preserve sufficient digital evidence of the unlawful transmission of the protected contents.” LaLiga showed a strong stance against the piracy ecosystem in recent…

Google is rumored to be developing better face unlocking tech for both the Pixel 11 family and upcoming Chromebooks. This endeavor is internally codenamed Project Toscana. According to someone who allegedly tested it, it will work without any additional visible sensors on the Pixel phones. It’s unclear if it’s using infrared like iPhones do, but if it is, then the IR bits are hidden under the display (and Apple is rumored to be going the same route for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max). So basically everything looks the same as on a Pixel 10, but, importantly, the face…
