The future of work is in the cloud. That’s not just true if you work among the server stacks in highly technical fields. Social media giants, video game developers and brick and mortar businesses alike all rely on cloud computing in different ways. But if you’re one of the talented few who can set up their own cloud computing environment and lead a software development team, you can really chart the course of your career....

The internet shut down came amid reports of troops opening fire on peaceful protesters, killing at least 11 people and injuring hundreds. Both Cloudflare and Netblocks reported this week that the internet in the country was shut down. Internet blackouts have become the go-to tactic for repressive governments hoping to shield their actions from the outside world. But mobile service was restored briefly on Tuesday, allowing horrifying videos of government attacks on protesters to emerge before it was shut down again....

A pretty significant upgrade from the previous SwitchBot Hub, the Hub 2 works as a bridge that connects SwitchBot Bluetooth devices to Wi-Fi and makes them Matter-compatible, so Apple HomeKit users will be able to add SwitchBot devices to the Apple Home app, for example.

Even though there are several types of coffee grinders on the market, most coffee lovers will tell you that burr grinders are the superior style. Unlike blade grinders, which chop coffee beans with spinning knives, burr grinders crush your coffee beans between two plates (called “burrs”), so you end up with more consistent coffee grounds. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly burr coffee grinder or a high-end option with tons of bells and whistles, you can find it in this review guide....

But, maybe none of these things matter to you. Maybe you don’t like the cult-like reverence some people ascribe to Peloton and its trainers, or you can’t stomach the nearly $40 per month subscription cost, or maybe you don’t care about cost and just want to know if there might be a better option out there for your particular fitness goals. This list explores the best options for skipping Peloton in favor of other manufacturers and subscription services....

When Star Trek debuted on September 6, 1966, it was a relatively low-budget TV series with only lukewarm network support. It took two pilot episodes before the series was picked up by NBC, only to be unceremoniously cancelled three years later. Nobody back then knew that Star Trek would create cultural touchstones and iconic characters, or that it would go on to spawn ten more TV series (so far) and thirteen movies (also, so far)....

It’s a relatively small device that stays on your desk, connected to your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and whatever other devices you want to have connected in an instant. When you land at your desk, you connect the dock to your laptop (typically via a single cable) and have instant access to all your external peripherals through that singular connection. Also: The best 5 laptop cooling pads You can achieve a basic setup with one of our less expensive choices, or you can opt for a high-end solution that supports two displays and Thunderbolt 3/4 peripherals....

And yes, the report states that the promise of AI is now being borne out. We’re seeing it crop up, not only in the tools that business analysts use like BI but also the fact that in-database machine learning is becoming a checkbox feature, not to mention that Oracle, SAP, Salesforce and others are now routinely incorporating machine learning into enterprise applications. So we’re seeing fewer headlines about driverless cars and the world is not waiting for a self-driving Uber to pull up, to prove that AI is real....

Too many powerful people want humans to be paranoid. They want them to be suspicious. Sometimes, they even want them to wish and do each other harm. It’s A Gift. Or Is It? It was just another day. The sun was shining. The pretty blue birds were chirping. All seemed normal, at first. Then I looked toward my doorstep, where lurked a package. On it was a small sticker that carried perhaps five random letters and numbers, and a QR code....

The star of the show was the announcement of two scaled up M1 processors, the M1 Pro and M1 Max. Both have the same number of compute cores (eight performance cores, and two low-power cores). The Pro supports 32GB RAM, the Max supports 64GB. The Pro has a 16 core GPU, and the Max has a 32 core GPU. The Pro’s memory bandwidth is 200GB/sec, the Max has a whopping 400GB/sec....

Crusher is effectively a small slice of the Frontier system. Frontier will ultimately comprise more than 100 Cray Shasta cabinets, delivering 1.5 exaflops of performance. Crusher, meanwhile, is a 1.5 cabinet iteration of Frontier. It features 192 nodes connected by HPE’s Slingshot Interconnect, with each node containing one optimized 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processor and four AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators. Crusher occupies only 44 square feet of floor space. It’s 1/100th the size of the DoE’s 27-petaflop Cray XK7 Titan supercomputer, which was decommissioned in 2019, but it’s faster than the entire 4,352-square-foot system was....

But location is only one part of the puzzle when it comes to redesigning work. Professionals are not only wrangling for control over where they do their work, but when. And it seems the answer to that is increasingly “not on Fridays, please.” The four-day week presents something of a utopian vision of a world where a work-life balance is exactly that – a harmonious and (near) equal balance of working and not working....

According to Upwork’s most recent Future Workforce Report, 56% of companies that hire freelance workers hired freelancers at an increased rate within the last year. Companies are seeking out skilled independent workers to fill empty positions to compensate for the ongoing loss of talent, particularly in data science, accounting, and IT departments. Many companies are still feeling the burn of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on job trends. The ongoing tendency for workers to quit their jobs in search of better opportunities is persistent, and tech workers have proved particularly difficult to hire....
