The Future Is Modular: What 10+ Years of Running Kubernetes Taught Platform Teams (and Why Bundles Are a Trap)
Platform engineering has a funny habit: it starts as a noble effort to “make developers faster,” and within a year it’s also responsible for compliance, cost controls, uptime, multi-cloud portability, and answering the eternal question: “Why is this cluster bill shaped like a hockey stick?” That’s why the latest argument from Giant Swarm — that…

Samsung’s 2026 flagship trio has arrived, and yes: on a spec sheet, the differences look as dramatic (and as expensive) as a three-monitor gamer setup in a coffee shop.

When a Meme Page Might Be a Government Megaphone: WIRED Says a White House Staffer Appears Linked to the “Johnny MAGA” X Account
In 2026, the fastest way to launder an official talking point into “the internet is saying…” is not a press conference.

Somewhere between “Welcome back!” and “Accept all cookies,” the modern internet has found a new favorite prompt: “Prove you’re old enough to be here.” Age verification has been drifting around the edges of the web for years—mostly in the adult-content corners where pop-ups go to reproduce. But over the last couple of years, it’s started…
Antarctica’s Blood Falls: The Final Piece of the “Bleeding Glacier” Mystery—and Why the Answer Sounds Like Plumbing
On February 24, 2026, WIRED published a story with a wonderfully confident headline: “The Last Mystery of Antarctica’s ‘Blood Falls’ Has Finally Been Solved.” The article, written by Simone Valesini (and credited by WIRED as translated from WIRED Italia), argues that scientists now have the missing physical mechanism that explains why the Taylor Glacier occasionally…
