Mosyle announces AccessMule to solve a major blind spot in SMB security

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-09-10 21:00:00

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved. Behind the scenes, there’s usually little visibility into who still has access t

Robots are transforming warehouse automation and ending back-breaking truck loading

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-09-11 01:46:00

The big picture: As the warehouse floor becomes increasingly automated, robots now handle the most punishing aspects of logistics, while people focus on oversight, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. With companies like DHL, FedEx, UPS, and Walmart investing heavily in robotics, the era of the backbreaking warehouse job may soon be history. The last stronghold of human labor in warehouses – the grueling job of loading and unloading trucks – is rapidly giving way to a new generation of

In an age where eye care is accessible, it is easy to take contact lenses for granted, especially in an age where laser correction surgery is widely available.
