The enterprise rush to deploy AI agents is running into a familiar problem in a new form: identity. If an agent can act, call tools, move data or trigger workflows, it needs a proper identity model, not a vague service account and a hope that logs will be enough. That shifts the discussion from ‘what can the model do?’ to ‘what can this agent prove it is allowed to do, and how is that enforced?’
US data centres consumed an estimated 17.4 billion gallons of water on site in 2023, but national totals obscure the decisive questions: local supply, seasonal demand, electricity-related water use and who funds new capacity.
OpenTelemetry can separate application telemetry from a commercial observability backend, making a future move less disruptive. That freedom depends on controlled Collector pipelines, shared telemetry conventions and a realistic plan for the proprietary features that do not travel.
A Proxmox VE 9 upgrade is an operating-system and platform migration, not a routine package update. Check restores, boot recovery, storage, networking, repositories, guests and cluster health before approving any node for the move.
LEGO Pokémon SMART Play makes brick-built Pokémon react to physical play without making a phone or tablet the game. Its inventive screen-free appeal comes with a pricier, less effortless ownership experience than ordinary LEGO.
Critical unauthenticated code execution in specified Silicon One-based Cisco Nexus 9000 switches can give a reachable attacker root privileges and reload the device. Operators should urgently establish exposure, restrict access and upgrade using Cisco’s platform-specific guidance.
LEGO’s 6,130-piece Executor Super Star Destroyer is a 136cm-long UCS display model that prioritises structural engineering and cinematic scale over play. At £649.99 and more than 5kg, it demands both collector commitment and serious furniture.
If you are tightening up Microsoft Entra ID security, the first wins are usually not exotic: they are the controls that reduce password abuse, shrink admin exposure, and stop legacy sign-in paths from becoming an easy route in. The trick is to turn on the right controls in the right order, without breaking sign-in for the people who keep the business running.
Microsoft is steering Entra ID away from SMS and voice MFA and towards passkeys. The shift is security-led, but it’s operationally risky: recovery, Conditional Access interactions, legacy apps, and helpdesk load can all change the outcome.
AWS AI services address different jobs: Amazon Bedrock for generative applications, SageMaker AI for custom machine learning, pre-built APIs for recognised tasks, and Amazon Q for employee and developer assistance.
Ransomware exploitation of SharePoint flaws has sharpened the case for removing public access to on-premises farms. With SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 unsupported, organisations must investigate historic compromise and choose migration, Subscription Edition or retirement.
Microsoft will make passkeys the default sign-in method in Entra ID from 1 September 2026 and retire Microsoft-provided SMS and voice delivery on 1 February 2027. The key risk is strand-through: recovery and helpdesk flows that still assume telecom MFA.
