Regulators are very worried about cloud competition between the hyperscalers. AWS said it would make multicloud solutions easier to adopt, so that there would be – in theory – price competition at a service level.
Last week, it dropped what it will probably hold up as proof: a free tier on its Interconnect that let's its customers run 500 Mbps worth of workloads elsewhere. As long as the other side doesn't charge data fees, of course. So far, Oracle Cloud isn't.

cURL paid out over $100,000 before pulling its HackerOne bounty, but by end 2025 its hit rate was 5%. So it walked away entirely.
The platform HackerOne says OSS is fundamentally –and philosophically – more susceptible to AI-slop bug reports. Even so, it thinks the system still works, especially for enterprises.

In 2009, Iran failed at blocking the internet. In 2026 it demonstrated what may be a politically and economically acceptable form of censorship – and people died as a result, human rights organisations believe.
Those who tracked the evolution of Iran's methodology fear it is already being exported. Now they're hoping that direct-to-cell tech can stop the spread.

The UK's National Health Service needs a Director General of Technology, Digital and Data, so it is offering big money: £285,000.
That is equivalent to just about $380,000.
Only 35 civil servants in the British system were paid anywhere near that in 2025.
A similar post at the UK Office for National Statistics recently offered £150,000. But apparently the government is having trouble finding the talent it needs at such prices.

It nearly killed the internet twice, argues The Daily Maverick. Now YouTube could save it from the proliferation of closed video formats, which almost makes it worth the money Google spent to buy it. Even without all that advertising revenue stuff.
