'The government has all but forgotten that most data centres require water to cool their systems': Industry trade board warns UK government over data center thirst for resources

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support UK plans include trebling data center capacity (and likely, water consumption) by 2030 Daily average consumption doesn't reflect peak demand during times of stress Water UK sets out three considerations to prepare for increased demand Despite the nation wanting to treble its data center capacity by 2030, a key trade body has warned British government policies have not considered the rising demand for water. At the moment, England's water resources forecasts, for example, exclude the likes of data centers and gigafactories. "Water companies therefore have a limit placed on how much future water they can provide," Water UK wrote , warning that air cooling doesn't quite cut it due to the high expense and inefficiency compared with water cooling. UK data center plans forget to mention water With current estimations implying that Britain'...

Bad news — paying a ransomware demand might cause hackers to come back and ask for more

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Proofpoint 2026 AI‑Era Ransomware Report found 54% of victims paid attackers despite warnings 37% faced repeat extortion after paying; 2% paid but never regained access to files Experts urge prevention: phishing awareness, offline backups, and AI‑powered endpoint protection Security researchers Proofpoint have seemingly proved once again that paying ransomware actors does not guarantee they’ll walk away for good - in fact, they’ve proven that in many cases, they’ll simply come back for more because they know they can get paid. The company's “2026 AI-Era Ransomware Report”, based on a survey of almost 1,000 security professionals across 12 markets, found globally, more than half (54%) of affected organizations paid their attackers to regain access to locked files and prevent them from sharing stolen documents on the dark web. This is despite repeated plea...

I use the premium Dreame Aqua10 Ultra robovac in my own home, but this alternative at 44% off is a smarter buy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support I've been testing and writing about robot vacuums for nearly a decade here on TechRadar Australia and one of the standouts for me in the past 12 months was (if you'll excuse the pun) an absolute dream machine. If you read my in-depth Dreame Aqua10 Ultra review , you'll know just how impressed I was with its overall performance, and my nitpicking complaints were mostly to do with how its battery gets used, which honestly isn't even a complaint — perhaps more of an observation. It is, however, a premium model that I've only very rarely seen discounted. Its slightly cheaper sibling, the standard Dreame Aqua10 Roller, though, is almost as good and also currently 44% off on Amazon , and just AU$69.35 more than its Prime Day price. That's still a sight better than having to pay nearly three grand for the Ultra version. With 30,000Pa of sucti...

'Bigger, brighter and lighter': It was love at first use with the 3rd-generation Amazon Kindle Scribe (2025), but its height and price make it unwieldy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Amazon Kindle Scribe (2025): Two-minute review I've used the 2024 release of the Kindle Scribe (2nd generation) for two years and I've loved every minute of it. I didn't think there was a better E Ink display to write on (and read on for that matter) and I definitely didn't think it could be improved. Yet that's exactly what Amazon has done with the 2025 (3rd generation) Kindle Scribe with frontlight. The epaper display is still one of the best to read and write on, but it looks even brighter and, indeed, it is bigger, with 11 inches of screen real estate to use. That's fantastic for note-taking and drawing, but unnecessary for a device that also doubles up as an ereader. Despite the additional height, the 3rd generation Kindle Scribe is both marginally thinner and lighter than its predecessor, but it is hard to hold in the hand for l...
