Things have been heating up between carriers, with T-Mobile ushering in a new era with its new CEO. The brand has clearly made huge strides, becoming one of the best wireless carriers in the US. That’s saying a lot considering that just a decade ago, it wasn’t even considered a threat by carriers like Verizon and AT&T. The wireless carriers have had numerous battles over the years, with shifting strategies and even advertisements aimed at competitors. Apparently, one of T-Mobile’s advertisements takes things a bit too far, with Verizon even making formal complaints. Now, the carrier is taking things to…

Performance Max has come a long way since its rocky launch. Many advertisers once dismissed it as a half-baked product, but Google has spent the past 18 months fixing real issues around transparency and control. If you wrote Performance Max off before, it’s time to take another look. Mike Ryan, head of ecommerce insights at Smarter Ecommerce, explained why at the latest SMX Next. Taking a fresh look at Performance Max Performance Max traces its roots to Smart Shopping campaigns, which Google rolled out with red carpet fanfare at Google Marketing Live in 2019.

If you’ve ever joined me in the misfortune of downloading TikTok, you’ve probably spent at least one evening mindlessly scrolling until two or three in the morning, not even looking for anything in particular to watch. According to the EU, that needs to change, as the region has preliminarily determined that the “addictive” app is in violation of its Digital Services Act. The decision came on Feb. 5 and followed an investigation from the European Commission into the effects that features including infinite scrolling, autoplay, push notifications, and the fabled TikTok algorithm have on the minds of users. According to…

Dropping serious money on a new car is exciting, right up until it starts living at the dealership. If you’re spending $30,000 or more, you want something built on solid bones, with a proven engine, stable tech, and a track record that shows the bugs have already been worked out. That’s especially true in the entry-level luxury SUV world, which is booming right now. These models promise premium looks, modern features, and everyday comfort, all while staying (mostly) under $50K. Since none of this comes cheap, checking real-world reliability data is just smart shopping. With that in mind, we’ve rounded…
And there’s a deeper business lesson here for IT leaders. The stadium didn’t just add more access points. The team performed a total technology overhaul. They combined their sound systems, LED screens (including the world’s largest outdoor 4K video boards), and production systems into a single, brand-new Cisco data center. This is the “One Cisco” approach I’ve written about before—breaking down silos to create a unified, observable environment. While there are many vendors that offer products to stadiums, Cisco’s platform approach addresses all aspects of stadium operations. Security and networking in tandem One of the most impressive aspects of the…

Netflix has been producing original content for over a decade at this point, and has made lots of easily digestible miniseries you can finish over a weekend. But the streamer’s crowning achievement came last year: the four-episode drama series Adolescence very well may be the best thing Netflix has ever made, and it’s hard to see them topping it anytime soon.
