The latest technology news from across Asia-Pacific
A developer's detailed account of building real-time lighting in PyGame reveals how floating-point precision and geometric edge cases create visible artifacts that 'looking right' can't catch. The implementation issues mirror challenges faced in production game engines, though PyGame remains a prototyping tool rather than enterprise platform.
Elon Musk is reportedly in talks to merge SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla - a move that would create a $800B founder-controlled empire spanning rockets, AI, and EVs. It's the inverse of what public markets have demanded for decades: GE, J&J, and others split up to escape the "conglomerate discount." The difference? Private capital structures let billionaire founders avoid that penalty.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced zero taxes through 2047 for cloud providers running international AI workloads from Indian data centers. The catch: revenues from domestic sales must flow through local resellers subject to Indian taxes. It's a 22-year bet on Big Tech infrastructure investment - if power and water constraints don't derail it first.
Tesla will end production of its Model S and Model X in Q2 2026, reallocating Fremont factory capacity to Optimus humanoid robots. The move comes as automotive revenue declined 3% year-over-year to $24.9B in Q4 2025, with the company planning to double CapEx to $20B - entering negative cash flow territory.
Most Claude Code subagent configurations waste tokens and activate the wrong agents. The culprit: tool permissions nobody restricts, missing context isolation, and vague descriptions that confuse routing. Anthropic's AI coding tool supports specialized subagents for parallel workflows, but production deployments reveal four systematic setup failures.
Google released Antigravity, an agent-first IDE for multi-agent orchestration, alongside Nano Banana Pro, an image generation model that competes with Midjourney. Both tools integrate with Gemini 3 and target enterprise developers building production AI agents. The real test: whether the orchestration layer solves coordination problems or adds complexity.
A developer has released FastLog, a lightweight Windows command-line tool designed to handle multi-gigabyte log files without the memory crashes that plague traditional editors. The tool uses incremental reading and offers a freemium model - basic filtering is free, multi-threaded processing costs extra.
The submitted content is an individual's career journey post from a personal blog, not reportable enterprise tech news. No product launch, funding, or organizational development to cover. While data engineering to data science transitions are a legitimate industry trend, this particular piece lacks the elements that constitute news for enterprise decision-makers.
Applications fail in production not from infrastructure issues, but from unmanaged compatibility debt across database versions, patch levels, and environments. Oracle EBS provides detailed certification matrices; most enterprises don't. The result: SQL behaves differently, optimizer plans change under load, and 'performance bugs' are actually version mismatches no one tracked.
The powercfg /batteryreport tool has existed since Windows 10, but few IT teams use it systematically. For organisations managing laptop fleets in hybrid work, it's worth understanding - though it won't replace proper asset management.
KeySmart's Gen 3 SmartCard supports both Apple FindMy and Google Find Hub, addressing a real cross-platform problem. The rechargeable card lasts 11 months and costs $40 - notable given most wallet trackers lock users into one ecosystem. Worth watching if enterprise mobility teams manage mixed device fleets.
The collaboration software market hasn't changed much since 2024. Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom still dominate, now with AI features as table stakes. The real question for tech leaders: are you paying for tools or ecosystems?
