MR.Cole_Photographer/Getty With the rise of AI agents, AI programs that can perform tasks for you without being explicitly told how to carry out every individual step, a problem has arisen. It's an old one in tech circles: Interoperability. How do you get AI agents to work together? One answer is Cisco's AGNTCY (pronounced "agency") project. To prevent AI agency fragmentation, Cisco has donated the AGNTCY project to the Linux Foundation. The Thai project is backed by numerous industry heavywei

5 reasons why Firefox is still my favorite browser - and deserves more respect

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-12-31 16:55:56

Finally, there's something to be said for supporting the underdog. In the Windows desktop browser arena, Chrome is still the top dog by far (though some of the upcoming AI-based browsers may start nipping at its heels). Edge is in second place. That puts Firefox in third. But I think the browser should be defined by much more than its third-place status.

But recycling old tech is easier than you think and can free up a lot of space in your home.

Nuclear Winter Would Be Even Worse Than We Thought
