In late May, OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman — who has long predicted that AI will lead to seismic shifts in the workforce — said during a conference, "We've been roughly right on technological predictions and pretty wrong on the social and economic implications." Soon after, he told CNBC, "Our.

One of my favourite weeks of the year is here: Summer Games Done Quick 2026 begins and anyone with a passing interest in games should dip in

Some people get very excited for our annual non-E3 blast of games news in June. Others await the Q3-Q4 release window rush of games with glee (although, this year, I find it a bit more scary than I do exciting). My favourite time of the gaming calendar, though, is split between two six-month blocks: I celebrate the arrival of Summer Games Done Quick and Awesome Games Done Quick like the... Read more

Valve updates SteamOS to improve your WiFi download speeds, and it's available on Steam Deck with a couple of caveats

Valve has rolled out a change to SteamOS that should help devices using a WiFi antenna get better download speeds. This latest version, 3.8.14, was released over the weekend. The change-log only lists two changes, and one of them is pretty consequential. The new version fixes an issue that caused WiFi speeds to be limited on routers that incorrectly advertise their MCS requirements. Read more Read more

Low-code IT-экосистема для управления розничной сетью. Часть 1

Розничная сеть нередко растёт быстрее, чем её управляемость. Чем больше торговых точек и сотрудников, тем сложнее понимать, в каком статусе задача, кто за неё отвечает и как контролировать исполнение. Поэтому в какой-то момент фрагментированной автоматизации становится недостаточно, требуется единая ИТ-инфраструктура.

Modbus-датчик от подключения до Grafana без написания кода — только конфиги

Типичная история при работе с промышленными датчиками выглядит примерно так. Есть RS485- датчик, нашли документацию с картой регистров. Написали Python-скрипт, который раз в 10 секунд опрашивает Modbus, парсит регистры и пишет строчку в CSV. Через неделю скрипт падает — оказывается, что порт занят другим процессом, или systemd не поднял его после перезагрузки, или датчик не ответил три раза подряд и скрипт завис в ожидании.
