The latest technology news from across Asia-Pacific
Two infrastructure attacks this month show where OT security stands: Poland's grid held, Venezuela's didn't. The gap between attack frequency and actual impact matters more than the headlines suggest.
Two distinct user groups are emerging in enterprise AI adoption. Power users—often non-technical—are deploying tools like Claude Code for finance and operations work, while enterprise workers remain stuck with Microsoft's bundled Copilot. The gap is creating a productivity divide between agile small companies and locked-down enterprises.
A minimal 128-bit unsigned integer implementation using carry/borrow/multiply intrinsics generates assembly identical to compiler builtins. For CTOs facing precision requirements in geometry, finance, or crypto workloads, fixed-width types offer predictable performance without abstraction overhead—the foundation scales cleanly to 256 or 512 bits.
A 2018 script shows how rsync's --link-dest option creates space-efficient snapshots for Linux servers, using hardlinks instead of full copies. Enterprise teams get browseable backups without vendor dependency, but manual restore testing remains critical.
Ian's Shoelace Site is a 20-year-old hobby project about tying shoes faster. No funding, no enterprise angle, no APAC tech story. The search results contain zero developments relevant to our readership.
Internal WhatsApp logs from a Laos pig butchering compound show how forced laborers are controlled through fines and debt—while defrauding victims of millions. The leaks expose the operational reality of Southeast Asian scam operations that have become the most lucrative form of cybercrime globally.
ZDNET's list of essential free Windows apps hits familiar territory: Brave, VLC, ShareX, WPS Office, Todoist. The real question for enterprise teams isn't which apps, but how you deploy them - manual installs don't scale past your first machine.
A decade of HS2 railway excavations has produced 450,000 archaeological objects now stored in a Yorkshire warehouse. The finds span 10,000+ years of British history, but their future ownership and display plans remain undecided as the delayed rail project approaches 2033 completion.
Adventure Game Studio, the open-source point-and-click game engine launched in 1997, released patch 3.6.2-P6 in early 2026. The Windows IDE exports to Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android without subscriptions—a model that's kept thousands of indie games shipping for nearly three decades while commercial alternatives added paywalls.
The 1976 Apple-1 advertisement promised 8KB RAM and a video terminal for $666.66 - a radical departure from teletype-dependent systems. While collectors chase auction records, the real story is how eliminating switches and lights opened computing beyond hobbyists, a lesson worth revisiting as enterprise tech complexities spiral.
Gul Agha's MIT doctoral work formalized the Actor model for concurrent computation—a framework now underpinning Akka, Erlang/OTP, and modern microservices. Forty years on, CTOs are rediscovering its answers to deadlock, backpressure, and multi-core scalability challenges.
Open-source project NanoClaw wraps Claude AI in Apple's WWDC 2025 Containerization framework, delivering sub-second container starts with VM-level isolation. The MIT-licensed tool has gained 699 GitHub stars in five days, signaling developer interest in macOS-native sandboxing alternatives to traditional Docker workflows.
