HPE's GreenLake intelligence brings agentic AI to IT operations

techspot.com Bob O'Donnell 2025-09-03 05:44:00

In case you haven't heard, GenAI is old news. Now, it's all about agentic AI. At least, that certainly seems to be the theme based on the latest announcements from the major tech industry vendors. All of them are focused on driving the story of more autonomous actions enabled by AI. That said, there's still a tremendous amount of activity and advancement happening in the "traditional" era of generative AI – particularly around integrating the technology into businesses and their internal IT ope

The US Government Is Weighing a Ban on TP-Link Routers, but I’m Not in a Rush to Replace Mine

Wi-Fi routers don't typically spend much time in the limelight, but TP-Link has been an exception over the past six months. Three US departments are currently investigating the company for ties to Chinese cyberattacks and potential predatory pricing. That's a lot of bad press, but it hasn't been enough for me to buy a new Wi-Fi router yet. I've been covering the internet world for more than six years, and for the past two, I've used a TP-Link router. I can honestly say I've never had an issue w

Under Trump 2.0, Tech Companies Pull Back on Pride

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-04 01:35:32

Tech companies were happy to have their name appear alongside President Donald Trump’s strange, authoritarian-esque military parade. But they are suddenly seeming a bit shy about supporting Pride events. Wonder what that is about? CNBC reports that San Francisco Pride will not feature Facebook parent company Meta as one of its sponsors this year—a major absence from a company that once had a major presence at the parade. For what it’s worth, the disappearance of Meta’s branding appears to be a

Roland just released a weird little riff on an acoustic handpan

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-04 05:00:51

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play. Roland's Mood Pan is much easier to play, thanks to clearly visible pads

Philips Hue says US prices will go up in July because of tariffs

When Philips Hue’s US prices go up next month, you can officially know who to blame. (Hint: It rhymes with "rump.") Parent company Signify told Hueblog (via The Verge) that its price increases are "a direct result of tariffs." See how easy that was, Amazon? Before that confirmation, the company vaguely referred to an upcoming price increase. "Hurry, prices go up on July 1," marketing copy from earlier this month stated.

Andreessen Horowitz Backs AI Startup Whose Motto Is ‘Cheat at Everything’

By now, it’s well established that one of AI’s biggest accomplishments is to help Americans cheat at life. Students are using it to cheat on their homework, teachers are using it to cheat at grading homework, sad and horny men are using it to cheat themselves out of having a girlfriend, actors are using it to cheat at ethnic accents, and some lawyers are even using it to cheat on legal filings.

Novoloop is making tons of upcycled plastic

Plastic has a recycling problem. Only about 9% of plastic gets recycled, and a majority of that waste comes from single use items like plastic grocery bags. It’s partly a design problem — they’re made to be discarded. But it’s also a technology problem because recycling such films isn’t easy, and the results usually aren’t great. Novoloop says it has developed a way to take those troublesome plastics and turn them into something other companies actually want to buy. The California-based startu
