Brit politicians question Fujitsu's continued role in public sector contracts

British MPs and peers are questioning the government's decision to continue accepting bids for large-scale IT contracts from Fujitsu, despite the Japanese supplier's previous pledge to stop bidding.

At the time, the Japanese computer giant was in the proce

Is Lovable getting monetization wrong?

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride. At first, it was mind-blowing (I had no idea this was possible!) and then unremarkable (yep, that v1 works like a v1, as if I handed it to an engineer). Vibe-coding is one of the trending topics in tech. In

Launching Wednesday, June 25, Ring is bringing generative AI descriptions to its home security video services. The AI will be available for subscriptions on all existing Ring doorbells and security cams.

However, this kind of home security AI works a bit differently. Ring's AI technology can examine its video and compare it with the dat

New space startup Lux Aeterna wants to make satellites reusable

Satellites can accomplish incredible tasks like provide internet, or help monitor wildfires. But many of them ultimately meet a fiery death burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Others use their last bit of fuel to move to so-called “graveyard” orbits, where they circle the planet in a perpetual deep freeze. A new startup called Lux Aeterna wants to change this. The Denver-based company, which is coming out of stealth today, has designed a reusable satellite called Delphi that it aims to launch
