AI vendor dependency is becoming a resilience risk

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Now that AI has quickly become embedded in global enterprise operations, it has the ability to impact everything from data analysis to decision-making and even security. Most conversations, however, focus on AI capability, power, productivity, and accuracy, but leave out one major issue. While everyone is focused on what happens as AI is implemented, very few are asking what happens when access to AI capability suddenly disappears. A prominent example of this is the debate around Anthropic restoring access to its Fable and Mythos AI models, which primarily revolved around compliance timelines and export control mechanics. Yet, few have questioned why so many organizations discovered that one external decision, out of their control, removed a business-critical capability seemingly overnight. In short, AI access disruptions are a symptom of a much larger opera...

Ditching my plastic air fryer for the non-toxic Ninja Crispi Pro was the best kitchen upgrade I made this year

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Ninja Crispi Pro arrived in Australia only in June this year, and I immediately wanted it. You see, I'd been eyeing the standard Ninja Crispi for a while because the nonstick coating of the trays in my two-drawer air fryer was coming off. My research told me that it wasn't toxic, but I was still concerned. So it was serendipitous that the larger Crispi Pro came along just when I was ready to ditch my old air fryer — and at a price that wasn't all that much more over the standard Crispi. For AU$399 RRP, it may not be 'cheap' but it sure is good value considering how well it's performed in the last couple of months I've had mine. So much so that I don't regret ditching my previous air fryer that was more versatile thanks to a steam functionality as well. Right now, the Crispi Pro is going slightly cheaper as well, down to AU$...

Tesla’s Robotaxi gets caught crashing through bollards, just as it readies the purpose-built Cybercab for public roads

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Texas Robotaxi passenger films car hitting plastic bollards Company claims "impeccable" Robotaxi safety record Tesla is preparing Cybercabs for public roads imminently A Tesla Robotaxi user in Austin, Texas, has captured the moment their driverless ride failed to navigate a curb extension, marked off by plastic posts, turning directly into them and carrying on with the journey. The incident came not long after Tesla’s head of AI told investors the Robotaxi program has an “impeccable safety record” with “zero notable incidents,” according to Electrek . The footage, posted to Reddit , shows the vehicle creeping forward, backing up, creeping forward again, and then driving right through the plastic posts. An audible thud can be heard as the vehicle hits the plastic poles, while the passenger can be heard saying, "It hit em, it hit em." The R...

Is gigabit NBN overpriced? I did the math to try and figure out if NBN 750 is better bang-for-buck

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support As the resident NBN and home-internet expert for TechRadar Australia, I spend much of my time looking out for the best internet deals , and there are almost invariably a number of compelling options at every different speed tier — and these can be a great way to sense-check if you’re overpaying for your current NBN service. When choosing deals, much of my decision-making revolves around two easily identifiable metrics: price and typical evening speed (TES). Typical evening speed is something all internet service providers (ISPs) have to disclose before you sign up for a plan. In essence, it tells you the download speed you can realistically expect to achieve during the busier evening hours of 7pm to 11pm. Being able to view the TES also means you can easily identify which ISPs ultimately offer better value — i.e. the ones advertising fast evening speeds at co...

Fostering trust in the age of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The reality for many organizations is that their employees are already being deceived. So, probably are their customers, their investors, and their board. For years, the warnings have focused on the impact of deepfakes, such as fake CEOs on video calls, cloned voices authorizing payments, and fraudulent emails. The tactics themselves are not new, but over the past few years, AI has made them cheaper to produce, harder to spot, and far more convincing within the ordinary flow of business. It’s this trend that means that the principle of Zero Trust is becoming as relevant to how information is treated as it has been to access. In cybersecurity , Zero Trust starts from a simple assumption: no user, device, application or request should be trusted by default. In the age of AI-generated misinformation, businesses need to apply that same mindset to the information...

I’ve tested more than 60 Bluetooth speakers and this Marshall model may just be the most stylish of them all — but does it sound as good as it looks? Here’s my verdict

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Marshall Stockwell III review Seven years after its predecessor came to market, the Marshall Stockwell III is here — and wow, what a beauty. From the moment I unboxed the Stockwell III, I was struck by its quality. Its striking amp-inspired aesthetic, complimented by luxurious PU leather, golden detailing, and a red velvet-infused handle made it likeable from the off. But could its sound live up to its enticing looks? Well, I’ve spent hours upon hours listening to music and messing around with various features on Marshall’s new speaker, and I’ve got a fair few thoughts. So here’s whether it can compare with some of the best Bluetooth speakers around. Let’s start with sound quality, an area where the Stockwell III is aiming to make quite the leap from its predecessor. Under the hood, you’ll find one three-inch woofer with 65W class D amplification alongside t...
