Data brokers quietly turn your life into a product: addresses, phone numbers, relatives, property data, and more—sold in bulk to marketers and scammers.
In a new TechGlimmer review, I share what happened when I stopped doing manual opt-outs and hired an automated agent instead: Incogni.

Cursor just narrowed the gap between “idea in your head” and “UI in your app.”
The new visual editor for the Cursor Browser lets you:
- Rearrange layout with drag & drop on live DOM elements
- Surface React props in a sidebar to test component variants
- Adjust flexbox, grids, & typography with visual controls
- Point at elements & prompt agents to apply changes in seconds.
This is what it looks like when IDE, browser, and AI agents converge.
Passwords are yesterday’s defense. 🔐
Hardware security keys using FIDO2/WebAuthn give you phishing resistant logins with a tap, and they work across major services like Google, Microsoft, and many password managers.
New TechGlimmer guide explains:
How hardware keys work
Why they are stronger than SMS or app codes
What to look for (USB‑C, NFC, platform support) when choosing a key.

From “beaming” money between Palm Pilots in 1999 to running IDs, tickets, cards, rewards, crypto and lending in 2025, digital wallets have quietly become full financial hubs.
More than half of the global population already uses a wallet, with transaction value projected to reach around 17 trillion dollars by 2029.
Regulators are lagging: a major US rule to supervise large nonbank wallets.

Skywork AI is one of the few AI tools that feels built for serious research rather than quick vibes.
We tested on real jobs: longform tech articles, client decks, comparison spreadsheets, and landing page prototypes. DeepResearch scans 600+ pages, scores 82.42% on GAIA, and then Doc, Slide, Sheet, Webpage, and Podcast agents turn that into structured, cited outputs.

AI code assistants aren’t just toys anymore they’re becoming core dev tools. 🧑💻
I dig into Tabnine, a privacy first AI coding assistant with IDE-native completions, in‑editor chat, and enterprise deployment options (cloud, on‑prem, and even air‑gapped) for teams that need strict control over their code. I also compare it with GitHub Copilot and Codeium to see where it wins or loses.
