Hyve Smart Package Locker Review: Can It Protect Holiday Deliveries?

WIRED has reviewed Hyve's smart porch lockbox, a device designed to secure packages left at the door. The product can protect incoming gifts, but only if the delivery driver actually uses it. Its effectiveness is also limited by available space, since packages must fit inside. The review therefore frames the locker as useful for holiday deliveries under certain conditions rather than a universal solution.

Why Websites Print Incorrectly: Six Common CSS Print Problems and Debugging Tips

A developer describes how a web page that looks correct on screen can break when printed, with tables splitting across pages, backgrounds disappearing, and edges being cut off. The article explains that browsers optimize for screens, so printed documents need dedicated print styles that hide interface elements and remove shadows and fixed widths. It highlights mismatches between A4 and US Letter paper sizes and shows how @page rules can set margins and size, while noting that printer settings still have the final say. It also points out that browser scaling options can shrink output, recommends printing a reference test sheet to tell scaling issues apart from CSS problems, and covers color reproduction, where the print-color-adjust property may be needed to keep backgrounds visible.

How AI Products Are Dying: Absorption, Consolidation, and Self-Inflicted Failures

An analysis of TechCrunch's AI graveyard argues that failed AI products fall into distinct categories rather than one pattern. Relay and Huxe shut down after platforms like OpenAI, Google, and Spotify built similar features into existing tools. ChatGPT Atlas and Operator were discontinued, with their capabilities folded into ChatGPT, which the author frames as consolidation rather than failure. The piece also highlights failures of platforms' own making, such as OpenAI's rolled-back ChatGPT super app, Apple's delayed Siri, and Microsoft's privacy-criticized Recall. Character.ai's collapse, marked by lawsuits and bankruptcy, is singled out as an outlier that fits none of these categories.

Zebrafish RNA-seq Study Shows Why High Mapping Rates Don't Guarantee Reliable Results

A bioinformatics student built a Nextflow workflow to analyze paired-end RNA sequencing data from zebrafish at the 2-cell and 6-hour developmental stages. The overall read mapping rates were 91.8% and 89.5%, but concordant pair alignment rates differed by 7.4 percentage points, showing that a single mapping percentage does not capture alignment quality. Four gene identifiers passed the Cuffdiff significance threshold, but with only one sample per stage, they are considered exploratory candidates rather than validated findings. The project highlighted that a pipeline can complete successfully without providing enough evidence for strong biological conclusions. The author has shared the workflow, documentation, and limitations on GitHub.

AI Builder Document Processing in Power Automate: Setup and Costs

AI Builder's document processing feature lets Power Automate cloud flows extract fields and tables from invoices, forms and other documents using trained or prebuilt models. Each page processed consumes credits, with custom models costing 100 AI Builder credits per page and prebuilt invoice or receipt analysis costing 32, while licensing changes take effect on November 1, 2026. Setup requires a Power Platform environment with Dataverse, suitable Power Automate premium licensing, and sample documents, with at least five examples needed for a custom model. The guide outlines model types, file and page limits, and the steps to create, train and publish a custom model in the AI hub. The article is aimed at small-business owners, finance staff and administrators who want to avoid manually retyping document data.

Leave It: a local Gemma 3 app that sorts your to-do pile into leave, later, or act now

Leave It is a local web app that helps users sort their list of pending tasks, such as unanswered messages, renewals, and untidied folders. Users paste one item per line, and Gemma 3 4B running through Ollama on the user's machine classifies each as leave, two minutes, or later, with a suggested two-minute step when delay would be costly. Urgent keywords like expired, overdue, invoice, landlord, and leak act as a guardrail that can only escalate a verdict, never downgrade one. Everything runs locally on a Node 22 server bound to loopback, with history kept in a gitignored JSON file and no hosted model or account needed. The project was submitted to the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3 and its source is available on GitHub.

Agata Proxima Offers a PostgreSQL Security Layer to Verify Access Controls

The piece argues that a working database connection or authentication system does not confirm that tenant isolation or authorized data access is actually happening. It introduces Agata Proxima, a PostgreSQL security platform aimed at helping developers enforce tenant-aware policies, verify access controls, and monitor database activity. The platform is described as adding protection without replacing PostgreSQL and is built on an open-source Rust proxy that developers can inspect. The article closes by asking backend engineers and security architects what evidence they would present to prove one tenant cannot access another's data.

Workers Get a Week-One Checklist After a WARN Layoff Notice

A WARN notice can appear with little context, listing a site, the number of affected workers, and a date that may still change. The article advises first checking whether the filing lists your specific site and what the effective date actually means, since plans can be postponed or cancelled. It recommends contacting your state's free Rapid Response program, which helps with unemployment, health coverage, and retraining, even if your employer has not arranged a session. It also urges workers to collect records on final pay, health coverage and COBRA deadlines, retirement accounts, and any severance offer while they still have access. Unemployment rules vary by state, so applying promptly and checking union supplemental benefits are also suggested.

Team Builds Browser-Only QR Generator to Avoid Subscription Fees for Static Codes

The developers argue that many paid dynamic QR code services charge recurring fees to maintain redirects that could be permanent and free. They contend that a QR code is essentially a static encoding of data, and that the redirect layer added by these services creates latency, vendor lock-in, privacy concerns from scan tracking, and lower-quality raster outputs. To counter this, they created CreateMyQR, a suite of 37 QR and barcode tools that run entirely client-side in the browser and work offline. The article describes this as a push to decentralize these tools and keep computation local to protect privacy and reduce costs.
