Crossing the AI threshold: redefining how consumers use their mobile devices

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support As we reflect on the recent launch of the iPhone 16 Pro , there is no doubt that Apple has delivered yet another technically impressive device, packed with iterative improvements in hardware and software. But the conversation around this latest release extends far beyond improved battery life, camera enhancements, and design tweaks—it is also about the transformative power of AI and its potential to redefine how consumers interact with their mobile devices. With its promise of Apple Intelligence, the latest generation of iPhones has set the stage for what could be a pivotal shift in mobile technology. While AI has long been used behind the scenes in smartphones, quietly optimizing processes such as battery life, predictive maintenance, and app performance, we are now standing at the threshold of a new era—one in which AI will move from the background to the forefront of the mobile device user experience. AI’s role in mobile devices today: optimi...

Why gaining agility through data starts with people

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Almost any business will tell you, with very good reason, that its most important asset is its people. A services provider without people is just an empty office, a manufacturer just idle heavy machinery, and a health system just a collection of empty beds. This truth is not going to change, but in recent years the picture of an organization's value beyond its people has been fundamentally transforming. Where different sectors might once have given very different accounts of where their value lies, today the second greatest asset is becoming, in the majority of areas, data . More digitalized tools, infrastructure, and processes which are more highly connected have delivered an explosion of data which offers deeper insights into customers, more efficient operations, higher quality innovation, faster decision-making, and more besides. Data, in short, is promised to enable all the agility and responsiveness that businesses need to drive growth....

How to choose productivity tools that optimize efficiency and ROI

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Today Chief Innovation Officers (CIOs) are faced with a myriad of decisions to make on a daily basis, as they seek to reduce costs, maintain workflow efficiency and improve service offerings through new digital tools - whether that be implementing new automation strategies or sourcing tools to support the businesses’ digital transformation efforts. For many CIOs simply weighing up the pros and cons between different software vendors and the tools on offer, can be a challenge within itself, with others caught up in current contracts unsure of how to maximize their value. Choosing between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace productivity/ collaboration tools , for example, is a tough decision for many. Both services boast a variety of features, and it can be difficult to decide which is the best fit for your organization to optimize its efficiency and return the best value for money. So, where to start? Maximizing value from your current platform ...

Attackers retain old scamming tricks with new twists — and consumers must stay informed to protect themselves

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Gen Threat Report shows emerging trends in cyberattacks Attackers are increasingly involving AI in their attack vectors Consumers and businesses alike are being hit harder and more often Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI technologies to enhance their attacks, experts have warned. A report from Gen has underlined a growing need for vigilance as scammers integrate voices, images, and videos using AI . It warned attackers are leveraging the technology to create deepfake videos, often featuring celebrities, to endorse fake cryptocurrency schemes. Scammers have also been spotted exploiting global events and hijacking platforms such as YouTube to run scams, such as the SpaceX Starship integrated flight test (IFT-4) scam, which stole over $1.4 million via fake crypto campaigns. Cybercriminals expand attacks with AI Scammers are not just adopting new technologies but also revamping older tactics, the report warns. For instance, the ...

Samsung's new Gauss 2 AI Model might be the next Galaxy brain

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Samsung's AI ambitions have taken a big step forward as the company introduced the Gauss 2 AI model at this year's Samsung Developer Conference. Gauss 2 builds upon its predecessor by offering improved performance and efficiency, with applications spanning smartphones, tablets, laptops, and home appliances. Your Samsung Galaxy S24 FE may not use it for its AI features , but the device you buy in a few years might use Gauss 2 to help you out, including the rumored automated adjustments that make the Settings menu obsolete . Gauss 2 is multimodal, so the AI can simultaneously process images, text, and computer code. That makes it better at incorporating AI-driven features on devices. In fact, there are three versions of the new model, differing in size and ability: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme. The Compact model is aimed at performing on a device without the internet. In contrast, the Balanced model sometimes needs online resources to ...

Why VMWare's legacy strengths no longer justify its modern complexities

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support While VMware has long been a cornerstone in IT infrastructure , it’s increasingly clear that it comes with several challenges we can’t afford to overlook. Let’s start with the financial implications. VMware’s licensing costs and subscription fees are significant, to say the least, and the complexity of its licensing structure doesn’t help. It often feels like navigating a maze to find the right package, and the recurring maintenance costs only add to the burden. Then there’s the issue of vendor lock-in. When we commit to VMware, we’re committing to its entire ecosystem, which limits our flexibility. As multi-cloud strategies and open source solutions become more prevalent, the risk of being boxed in by a single provider’s roadmap grows. The dependency is real, and so is the challenge of migrating to other platforms—it's complex and expensive. From a performance standpoint, VMware’s architecture is beginning to show its age. It may not be the ...

What role will blockchain play in securing the future of AI-driven infrastructure?

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology marks a pivotal moment in digital innovation, offering unprecedented opportunities to transform industries. When combined, they can not only enhance operational efficiencies but also address some of the most pressing challenges facing modern enterprises dealing with data at scale: data reliability and integrity. AI relies heavily on data to learn and make decisions. However, the quality of that data is paramount. In an era where misinformation and data integrity issues abound, blockchain technology offers a robust solution. By providing a decentralized ledger that ensures data is tamper-proof and immutable, blockchain can help enhance the reliability of the data fed into AI systems. Reducing AI hallucinations One of the most significant challenges AI systems face is the phenomenon known as "hallucinations"—instances where AI generates responses that are inaccurate...

Prediction: 2025 is the year quantum computing advances from physical qubits to logical qubits

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Quantum computing has long been a subject of fascination and excitement, promising to solve complex problems far beyond the capabilities of classical computers. As we enter 2025, this transformative technology is poised to take a giant leap forward, progressing from physical qubits to logical qubits. This shift marks a pivotal moment in the quantum industry’s journey, one which sets the stage for exciting advancements across various industries and addresses the technical challenges that have, until now, constrained the potential of quantum computers. Predicting the leap from physical to logical qubits In a similar way that classical computers use bits to store information, quantum computers are built on the use of physical qubits to store quantum information. Unfortunately, physical qubits are sensitive to environmental noise, making them error-prone and unsuitable for solving large computational problems. This limitation can be overcome by usin...
