Lab efficiency for tandem solar cells has hit 34%, but the technology that could reshape panel economics is still stuck on durability and manufacturing yield, not power output.
AI data center traffic is overwhelming the internet exchange points that networks use to swap traffic directly, and the asymmetric load is breaking a peering model built for a more balanced era.
Riot's Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, and BattlEye all run with kernel-level access on tens of millions of PCs, and attackers have been quietly repurposing that trust to disable security software since 2022.
