On February 27, 2026, Google’s Chrome Secure Web and Networking Team published a post that can be summarized as: “Yes, we’re taking post-quantum crypto seriously, and no, we don’t want your web browsing to feel like dial-up.” The proposal is ambitious: make the WebPKI (the machinery behind HTTPS certificates) resistant to future quantum attacks without…
Secure Your Software Supply Chain with OVHcloud Managed Private Registry (MPR): SBOMs, Scanning, Signing, and the Practical Path to “Trusted Images Only”
Software supply chain security is having a moment. Unfortunately, it’s not the fun kind of moment—more like the “your CI runner just started mining crypto and it’s not even good at it” kind of moment. In mid-February 2026, OVHcloud published a detailed walkthrough titled Secure your Software Supply Chain with OVHcloud Managed Private Registry (MPR),…
Microsoft’s “Budget Bytes” Wants You to Build Real AI Apps on Azure for Under $25 — Here’s What That Actually Means
Cloud and AI. Two words that can make a developer feel like they’ve accidentally walked into a luxury car dealership wearing a “just browsing” sticker. Microsoft seems to have noticed this collective flinch, and on January 26, 2026 it introduced a new video series called Budget Bytes, pitched as a practical guide to building “production-quality”…
Scaleway Containers adds initial support for a Waypoint plugin: what it means for serverless container deployments
Scaleway quietly slipped a very developer-friendly note into its documentation changelog: Containers now have initial support for a Waypoint plugin. If you’ve ever wished your deployment workflow had fewer bespoke scripts, fewer “just run this one-off CLI command” README steps, and fewer opportunities to paste the wrong namespace ID at 2 a.m., this is the…
Pokémon Winds and Waves heads to Switch 2 in 2027: why Game Freak’s longer dev cycle might finally pay off
After years of “please, just give the frame rate a snack” discourse, The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have finally said the quiet part out loud: the next mainline Pokémon adventure will be built for newer hardware first, and nostalgia can ride in the back seat. During the February 27, 2026 Pokémon Presents livestream (Pokémon…
Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank Test Agentic AI for Trade Surveillance: From “Rules + Alerts” to Reasoning Systems (and New Risks)
Banks have a long history of buying shiny new technology, bolting it onto a legacy workflow, and then acting surprised when the shiny part doesn’t magically fix the legacy part. Trade surveillance—monitoring orders, executions, and related behaviors for market abuse—has been one of the most stubborn examples. It’s mission critical, massively data-heavy, and famously prone…
PayPal’s Historic BigQuery Migration: The Unsexy Data Move Powering Its Next GenAI Wave
Some technology stories begin with a shiny demo and end with a funding round. This one begins with the kind of sentence that makes executives reach for coffee and engineers reach for the exit: “We need to migrate hundreds of petabytes of production analytics data.” On February 26, 2026, PayPal published a detailed account of…
PayPal’s historic BigQuery migration: why moving 300+ petabytes is really an AI strategy (not just a database project)
When a company says it migrated “more than 300 petabytes” of analytics data with “zero downtime,” my default reaction is to check whether my coffee has been replaced with an energy drink. Then I read the details, and the story gets even more interesting: PayPal’s leadership is explicitly framing an enormous data-warehouse consolidation as the…
Finding Value with AI in an Industry 5.0 Transformation: From ‘Automation for Savings’ to Human-Centric Growth
On February 26, 2026, MIT Technology Review published an item titled “Finding value with AI and Industry 5.0 transformation”. The piece sits in the increasingly crowded intersection of industrial transformation, AI adoption, and that somewhat mischievous phrase executives love: “value realization.” Unfortunately for reporters (and fortunately for paywalls), the full Technology Review page is not…
Salesforce’s “SaaSpocalypse” Moment: Why Marc Benioff Thinks AI Agents Won’t Kill SaaS (and What Actually Might)
On February 25, 2026, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff did what every seasoned enterprise-software leader eventually learns to do: stare into the camera, acknowledge the panic, and then politely tell the market it’s being dramatic. The panic has a nickname now—“SaaSpocalypse”—a catchy way of describing investor fear that AI agents will make classic software-as-a-service business models…
