Observe continues to adapt to the changing world of software observability

Observe, an observability platform, was founded in 2017 in response to the changing nature of software observability. Companies started pushing out new versions of their software more frequently — and producing significantly more data because of it. Now, Observe is responding to the latest big shift in technology: AI. San Mateo-based Observe helps companies get an inside look at the status of their software, which makes it easier for engineers to spot and solve disruptions and outages. The re

5 browsers you should use instead of Chrome

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Google Chrome dominates the browser market, holding an almost 70% market share globally, according to StatCounter.

I’m not the biggest fan of the browser, as I thi

Survey of 1,000 Experts Shows Quantum Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

In July 1925—exactly a century ago—famed physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his equally famous colleague, Wolfgang Pauli. In it, Heisenberg confesses that his “views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day,” requesting Pauli’s prompt feedback on an attached manuscript he’s considering whether to “complete…or to burn.” That was the Umdeutung (reinterpretation) paper, which set the foundation for a more empirically verifiable version of quantum mechanics. For that r

Real life or AI? Watch these videos and see if you can spot the difference

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Having spent some time with generative AI, I thought I had a fair idea of what to expect from Veo 3 — Google’s cutting-edge AI video generator. But when I finally ponied up the $20 for a Google AI Pro subscription a few weeks ago, I was surprised to find that it outperformed even my most optimistic expectations. Unlike early AI image generators that would produce obvious deformities like extra fingers or absurd architecture, Google’s Veo 3 can generate videos

A decade of Windows 10: Chaos, Cortana, and conspiracy theories that never panned out

Blender is going beyond mouse and keyboard with a new touch-friendly interface for tablets

SkyRover X1 may be a DJI drone in disguise, amid US soft ban on Chinese drones

In context: When the SkyRover X1 drone appeared on Amazon, it arrived with little fanfare but quickly captured the attention of enthusiasts and industry analysts alike. Priced at $758 and offering a feature set strikingly similar to DJI's well-known Mini 4 Pro, the X1 stood out in a market now conspicuously lacking official DJI drones. That fact alone made its debut noteworthy as major US retailers and online platforms had largely run out of DJI products, leaving would-be buyers with few mainst
