A good multitool can be a reliable companion for decades (as long as you don’t lose it!). Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I like having a good multitool close at hand and at all times. While they can’t replace a proper toolkit, I don’t fancy carrying a full toolkit with me when I’m out and about. Many of my readers are like me, often finding themselves doing random and unplanned DIY tasks throughout the day, so having a…

AT&T AT&T customers who still use the carrier’s landline service should be prepared to say goodbye sometime in the next five years. At its 2024 Analysts and Investors Day on Wednesday, the company said that it’s “actively working to exit its legacy copper network operations across the large majority of its wireline footprint by the end of 2029.” Yep, that means its traditional landlines will largely be gone by that point, at least if the…

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….

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…

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…
