Latest regional expansion addresses urgent demand for privilege-centric identity security in high-growth regions facing a surge in machine identities, agentic AI, and regulatory pressure. Pathfinder helps organizations secure human and non-human identities through unified visibility and control, reducing “shadow” risk and supporting compliance across cloud, hybrid, SaaS, and operational technology (OT) environments.

This expansion addresses…

A new haptic ring for VR is trying to solve a stubborn problem, virtual touch still feels flat. Researchers from Sungkyunkwan University, EPFL, and Istanbul Technical University built an origami-inspired wearable called OriRing that weighs 18 grams and can push back with up to 6.5 newtons of force. OriRing measures both pressing and sliding forces on your finger, then generates physical resistance to match what you’re doing in VR or AR. The researchers say it can represent object size and stiffness, and it can also take user input to change those properties on the fly. It’s still a prototype, and…

Anbernic is a name usually whispered in reverence by retro handheld enthusiasts—the company that churns out Game Boy-style emulators faster than most of us can charge our batteries. But in a move that feels equal parts “genius” and “why though?”, they have just dropped the RG G01, a wireless controller that wants to know exactly how stressed you are while you play. The headline feature here is undeniable: this gamepad has a built-in heart rate monitor It sounds like something out of a sci-fi experiment or perhaps a rejected Wii peripheral from 2008, but the implementation is surprisingly slick. Sensors…

If you follow the smartphone world closely, you know that we have hit a bit of a wall recently. For the last few years, Qualcomm has been relentlessly pushing clock speeds higher and higher, but physics is starting to push back. It doesn’t matter how fast a chip can go if it gets so hot within three minutes of gaming that it has to throttle itself down to a crawl. The current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is a beast, sure, but it is already dancing right on the edge of what is thermally possible inside a device that sits…

The International Space Station (ISS) is now orbiting Earth at a record altitude of 262 miles (422 km). It was deliberately nudged to a higher position just recently by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Such a maneuver is necessary to keep the station safely orbiting Earth, as atmospheric drag causes it to gradually lose altitude. The station can use any of the docked spacecraft to adjust the its orbit. The process is performed by firing thrusters on one of the spacecraft for a period of several minutes, gently pushing the orbital facility to a new altitude. Without the reboost procedure, which…

If you checked Gmail over the weekend and saw your inbox suddenly overflowing with promotional email, you weren’t imagining things. Millions of users worldwide ran into the same issue, but thankfully it has now been fixed. Gmail features a sorting system that automatically moves fluff like newsletters, promos, and non-urgent updates into separate tabs, keeping your Primary inbox clean and focused on what matters. On Saturday morning, this system stopped working as expected. Instead of organizing emails, Gmail dumped all incoming emails into the main inbox, and some users even saw warnings that certain emails had not been scanned for…

Anthropic just turned its AI chatbot Claude into a real productivity hub by bringing interactive apps right into the chat. Users can now perform actions within apps like Slack, Figma, Asana, Canva, Box, Clay, and more without needing to switch windows. Instead of offering text-only responses, Claude can now act as a full-on workspace, letting you draft Slack messages, build project boards, design mockups, and more. Built on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Anthropic introduced in 2024 as a standard for how AI and apps talk to each other, the feature is designed to scale over time,…

Google may be quietly rethinking how Android looks, and an early glimpse of Android 17 suggests visual changes that feel very familiar. New evidence has surfaced showing blur effects in Android 17’s system interface, hinting at a design direction that echoes Apple’s Liquid Glass style. Blur and transparency are not entirely new concepts for Android. What makes this Android 17 sighting notable is how deliberate and system-level the effects appear to be. A closer look at Android 17’s new blur effects According to the Android Authority, these visuals are tied to new UI flags. The effects are not flashy, but…

AI agents are everywhere right now. They write emails, draft code, summarise documents, and promise to make work faster and smarter. From boardrooms to classrooms, the hype makes it sound like artificial intelligence has already become a daily work companion for most people, even as studies suggest AI is still not quite ready for everyday office work. A new Gallup survey suggests the reality inside workplaces is quite different. According to Gallup’s latest Workforce survey, only 12% of employed adults in the US say they use AI every day at work. About one quarter use it frequently, meaning a few…

Google introduced a handy Gemini-powered feature in Gmail last year that helps you schedule meetings. Appropriately named Help me schedule, the feature scans your calendar and the email you’re replying to, then suggests meeting times that fit your schedule. It lets you offer a few options with a click, and once the recipient picks a time, the event automatically appears in both calendars. It’s a small but useful feature that has already saved users from countless back-and-forth emails. Now, Google is bringing a similar scheduling feature to Google Calendar. According to a recent post on the Workspace Updates blog, Gemini…
