The Ongoing Fallout from a Breach at AI Chatbot Maker Salesloft

The recent mass-theft of authentication tokens from Salesloft, whose AI chatbot is used by a broad swath of corporate America to convert customer interaction into Salesforce leads, has left many companies racing to invalidate the stolen credentials before hackers can exploit them. Now Google warns the breach goes far beyond access to Salesforce data, noting the hackers responsible also stole valid authentication tokens for hundreds of online services that customers can integrate with Salesloft,

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS

Google Maps may soon keep your navigation updates where you can’t lose them

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps is starting to test Live Updates for navigation on some devices. We spotted the feature several days ago, and more reports from other users have since surfaced. Testing appears very limited for now. If you’ve ever had a live navigation slip off your screen mid-journey, you’ll see why the latest Google Maps experiment could be useful. A handful of people are now seeing Live Updates appear for directions, keeping progress pinned on the screen w

You can try Apple’s lightning-fast video captioning model right from your browser

A few months ago, Apple released FastVLM, a Visual Language Model (VLM) that offered near-instant high-resolution image processing. Now, you can take it for a spin, provided you have an Apple Silicon-powered Mac. Here’s how. When we first covered FastVLM, we explained that it leveraged MLX, Apple’s own open ML framework specifically designed for Apple Silicon, to deliver up to 85 times faster video captioning, while being more than 3 times smaller than similar models. Since then, Apple has wor

Best Labor Day laptop deals 2025: Last-minute savings on Apple, Dell, Lenovo, and more

How did we choose these deals? I found over 30 deals in my initial research, and wanted to include them, but decided to keep things short. While considering the products on this list, I took into account the device's popularity, quality, and discount amount. From there, I whittled things down to the 18 entries you see above. Should I buy a MacBook, Windows laptop, or Chromebook? It ultimately depends on what you want as a user and what you're looking for. There isn't a hard-set answer to this

Desert Graves (2021)

Arizona is an interesting place. Even today, there is much remote country, and as I’ve wandered through its deserts and forests (yes, we have forests!), I have been surprised by how many times I’ve come across cemeteries and graves in the most out-of-the-way and unexpected places. I did a survey of place names on Arizona’s topographical maps and found a total of 147 named cemeteries, but I also found 9 places where there was just a “grave” or “graves” shown (I know there are many more than that,

F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference

Formula 1 teams can start their annual summer break today. Sometime this month, each of the 10 teams has to close its factory for 14 consecutive days. Laptops stay in the office, email goes unchecked. It all sounds very civilized for a sport where the difference between hero and zero can come down to milliseconds. As was the case at this past weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, at least in qualifying. When the Hungaroring was added to the calendar back in 1986, it was F1's first true foray behind t

In 2013, Facebook released React to the world. It is now 2025 and React (and its descendants) dominates the way developers build sites and apps. Why? Because React is not just a scaffold for writing code. It is a philosophy. By using React, you embrace building applications with a pattern of reactivity and

The buyer-pull and seller-push theories of sales

PSA: There’s now a companion podcast! We go into way more detail on YouTube / Spotify! I have now watched hundreds of founders’ sales calls. And in every single founder’s call, I find the same foundational error playing out in a thousand different ways. It causes the founder (and the potential customer) a world of pain. If you feel uncomfortable selling, or if your sales calls don’t feel smooth, this is probably why. We all seem to have the most basic misconception about sales, a backwards ide

Personal Safety is the latest Google app with a messed-up clock

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Personal Safety is rolling out an update that implements a new color scheme. While the app still doesn’t use your system palette, it does improve readability. Google has managed to mess up clock rendering, though, with the time fitting poorly on the screen. Developers like Google are constantly trying out new looks for their apps, and not everyone’s going to be a fan of every change. But even if we prefer one layout over another, or thought an old work

As Apple pushes for automation upgrades, supply chain partners face higher costs

As Apple moves to diversify its manufacturing operations, it appears to be leaning on suppliers to shoulder the costs of automating their assembly lines. Here are the details. The latest collateral effect of Trump’s trade war In an exclusive report today, DigiTimes Asia says that Apple has been doubling down on industrial automation as it shifts away from China manufacturing. The report says that while Apple has always incentivized its suppliers to invest in automation, the company “plans to
