For Kubernetes users, including those running on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, the eBPF-based Cilium delivers kernel-level visibility, according to Gillis. “Every time a process reads a file, spawns another process or opens a network connection, eBPF code embedded in Cilium executes in the kernel, allowing it to gather detailed telemetries — such as TCP and UDP protocol data, packet loss and latency,” Gillis wrote. Cisco is a supporter of the open-source Cilium project, he added….

Matthew Miller/ZDNET I primarily run and bike by myself, which is one reason I became a Strava premium subscriber in 2016. With my subscription, I use Strava Segments and Local Legends status to compete against records and timed laps set by nearby users. The nice thing about Segments is that you can break up extended activities into smaller chunks and work hard to set PRs throughout your activity. For the past week, I have been…

Getty Images/pepifoto With the holiday season upon us, many companies are finding ways to take advantage, whether through deals, promotions, or other campaigns. OpenAI has found a way to participate with its “12 days of OpenAI.”  On Wednesday, OpenAI announced via an X post that it would be holding 12 days of OpenAI starting on December 5. The event will feature 12 days of live streams and “a bunch of new things, big and small,”…

Oura/ZDNET Wearable tech is getting so good at monitoring your health that it might even predict when you’re about to get sick. That’s what smart ring giant Oura’s new feature, released Thursday, claims to do.  Oura’s Symptom Radar, a previously experimental feature through Oura Labs, just got a permanent spot on the smart ring app’s interface. Here’s how it can detect when your body needs a break.  Also: Can Oura predict when you’re about to…

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET ZDNET’s key takeaways The Chipolo One Point and Card Point are available starting at $28. They’re highly accurate, robust, and integrate well into the Google ecosystem. However, the One is only splashproof, and the Card version has a non-user-replaceable battery. AirTags are one of the things that have set the Apple ecosystem apart from the Android ecosystem. But now that Google has rolled out its Find My Device network, the Android ecosystem is…

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Software announcements are usually much less exciting than hardware ones, but Samsung’s rollout of its One UI 7 beta today, based on Android 15, might be the best (and biggest) news for Galaxy users lately. Also: Forget the Ray-Ban Metas: Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses are the wearables I’ve been waiting for Part of the reason is that the software was actually expected to launch months ago, closer to the timeline of Google and…

Anna V. Ponomareva/Getty Images Anyone who’s ever worked on image or video editing on MacOS knows how good Apple displays can be. They are clean and crisp and rarely have issues, such as pixelation or screen tearing. For the most part, the colors look fairly accurate. Or do they? Also: I was a Final Cut Pro diehard until DaVinci Resolve won me over with these 3 features To the untrained eye, the MacOS default display profile…

Aitor Diago/Getty Images It’s a common belief that the law often has to play catchup with technology, and this remains apparent today as the latter continues to evolve at a fast pace.  With the advent of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), for instance, some important legal questions still need to be addressed.  First, policymakers must decide how to best balance the use of data to train AI models with the need to protect the rights…

Amazon/ZDNET The holiday season is upon us, and that means joy, cheer, a monologue from Linus (Peanuts, not Torvalds), and gifts. If you have an open-source fan on your list, what do you get them? Socks? A tie? A tin of various popcorn flavors? Or you can skip those gifts and consider, instead, something from my list of unofficially sanctioned open-source holiday gifts for 2024 (and beyond). Also: The best holiday tech gifts under $25…

кирилл поляшенко/Getty Images In October, OpenAI integrated ChatGPT Search into ChatGPT, promising an experience in which users could browse the web and access the latest news from its news partners and sites that have not blocked OpenAI’s web crawler. A new review by Columbia’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism shows that the process may not be as efficient as it sounds.  The Tow Center performed a test to determine how well publisher content is represented…
