Burro, an autonomy company focused on outdoor labor automation, has announced the launch of Grande 44, its most powerful autonomous work platform to date. Designed for towing, transportation, and vegetation management across demanding terrain and conditions, Grande 44 is now available for pre-order, with first deliveries beginning in H2 2026. The post Burro Launches Grande 44, Its Most Powerful A…

With over 8.93 million smartphone apps worldwide, building a mobile application is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in keeping it functional across millions of devices. App crashes are potentially the easiest way to lose a user, damaging the overall experience, lowering app store rankings, and directly hurting retention rates. Many studies consistently show that users who experience …

Quick take Most cloud tagging strategies fail because they ask engineers to remember a 40-line policy. The strategy that actually works in 2026 has four required tags, one enforcement layer at admission, and one quarterly audit. Everything else is decoration. Here is the framework, the four tags, and the tools that make it stick without slowing anyone down. If you only have 60 seconds, this is th…

Quick take Most teams set up one budget alert at 100% and call it done. That alert fires the day the budget is already blown. A working setup needs three tiers (50% warn, 80% alert, 100% panic) and one in each cloud you actually use. Here is the click-by-click setup for AWS, GCP, and Azure in 2026, plus the four mistakes that quietly defeat the alerts. If you only have 60 seconds, this is the sha…

Discover how Singaporean brothers are using unsolvable maths equations to create next-generation, quantum-resistant encryption.

Hot tubs sit at about 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, warm enough that most people can only soak for about 15 minutes. NVIDIA’s newest AI servers can run their cooling liquid even hotter — up to 45 degrees Celsius, or 113 degrees Fahrenheit. That higher temperature limit is precisely what makes them more energy efficient. […]

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology published a technical paper titled “MIPSBLEED: Uncovering Microarchitectural Timing Leaks in Pervasive Embedded Processors.” Excerpt from abstract “This paper exposes how Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), a feature increasingly used to boost performance in these environments, creates powerful cross-core timing channels on MIPS-based platforms. W…

Origin: Halfway through a chat, where is that meme? Every heavy chat user has a bunch of memes saved on their phone and computer, but when they actually need one—halfway through a conversation, wanting to send a "Thanks, let's keep in touch" or "I'm just bad"—they can never find it. The filename is IMG_4821.jpg , albums are not categorized, and searching is impossible. I first came across a great…

June 24, 2026. That is the shutdown date for every Imagen model on Firebase AI Logic — imagen-3.0-generate-002 , imagen-4.0-generate-001 , imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-001 , imagen-4.0-fast-generate-001 . All of them. If you have been putting off this migration, you have run out of runway. The replacement is Google's Gemini Image models — internally called "Nano Banana," publicly named gemini-2.5-fl…

The computer chips inside our phones, laptops and other electronic devices contain billions of tiny switches called transistors. These transistors are usually made from silicon, the material that has powered modern electronics for decades. However, as companies try to make chips even smaller and more powerful, silicon is beginning to reach its physical limits. Scientists […] The post New simple c…

Research covering 19 international standards bodies finds UK strengths in services and telecoms but weaker representation in hardware, semiconductors, and other foundational technologies. Aston Business School-led research calls for greater UK participation in global standards covering AI, semiconductors, 5G, and 6G Aston Business School -led research has called for a UK Standards Participation F…

This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam Coordinate systems. Rotated bounding boxes. A sine wave cycling 637 times per second. A tribute to Alan Turing hidden in binary light. This is how Solstice Village came to be. The Idea June 21. The longest day. Light and darkness at their most dramatic inflection point. I wanted something that felt like the solstice — not a platformer about suns…

After a full week of intensive Bitcoin programming training, the developers at Zone01 Kisumu moved into the most exciting phase of the bootcamp: building real-world solutions powered by Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and LND. One thing I learned throughout the experience is that the human mind is truly fascinating. The room was filled with innovative ideas, each attempting to solve a different p…

I dived into all the reasons brands are steering clear of silicon-carbon battery tech.

A hobby project on the side. I bought a Mavic Pro Gen1 shell and its GL200A remote for a few euros, sold as non-functional. Rather than just repairing them, I wanted to understand how they talk to each other . This is my logbook — and I want to be upfront that I'm a beginner at reverse engineering, standing on the shoulders of a community that did the hard work. First: is this legal? It's the que…

Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility — your central hub for news and insights on the future of transportation.

Researchers have developed a new type of lidar system that can do much more than traditional versions. In a single measurement, the new technology can determine where an object is, how fast it is moving, and what it is made of. The advance could improve technologies such as self-driving cars, robots and remote sensing systems. […] The post New super-sensing lidar can see an object’s distance, spe…

A confession before the feature tour: for years I was very much against adding gaming to Codename One. I used to work in the gaming industry ( Jane's USAF , among others), so this was never about disinterest or not understanding the domain. The opposite: I knew exactly how much a real gaming stack demands, and I felt that tackling it would dilute our focus on being the best cross-platform app fra…
