Collaboration accelerates when AI becomes part of team interactions

Group chats in ChatGPT have become one of the most notable new capabilities of artificial intelligence. If earlier interaction with the model happened in a “user — AI” format, now several people can join the dialogue simultaneously. This changes not only the communication format but also the very logic of interaction between people and a digital assistant. A group chat works as a space where artificial intelligence participates in team discussions, helps coordinate work, generates ideas, and reduces the workload on participants. To understand why this matters, it is worth examining how such chats function and in which situations they bring the greatest value.

What would happen if all Google servers were shut down for 60 seconds

Panicked employees sit in front of laptops against the backdrop of Google's server racks, which simultaneously went down. — The consequences of a brief but global outage of Google’s infrastructure

It is almost impossible to imagine the modern internet without Google. Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Android, advertising, DNS servers, cloud infrastructure — all of this forms a massive ecosystem that operates quietly yet permeates almost every digital process. That is why the idea that all Google servers could simultaneously go offline even for one minute seems unrealistic. However, such a hypothetical scenario helps us better understand how the internet works and how significant the influence of a single tech corporation truly is. So what would happen during these sixty seconds?

Why a VPN Does Not Guarantee Privacy When You Use Mobile Internet

Smartphone with activated VPN between user and cell tower, with geolocation and surveillance icons. — VPN privacy limitations when using mobile internet

A VPN has long become a tool that most users perceive as a universal means of protecting privacy. It creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the VPN provider’s server, hiding your IP address and making data interception more difficult. However, when it comes to mobile internet, this mechanism does not work as flawlessly as it may seem. Even with the best VPNs, the user does not always receive full privacy, and the mobile operator still retains a significant amount of information about your activity. To understand why this happens, you need to understand how mobile internet works, what data the operator has, and what limitations the VPN itself has.

Lightning bolt, digital pattern lock and laptop with warning sign symbolizing safety risks during power outages. — How power outages weaken cyber security of systems and data

Blackouts have stopped being just an issue of comfort or household inconvenience — today they directly affect digital security. When the power goes out, we think about charging our smartphones or keeping the internet running, but we don’t always consider that power disruptions create real threats to information systems. At a time when business, government services and personal data form the foundation of the digital economy, electricity has become a new key element of cyber defense.

How Artificial Intelligence Learned to Break CAPTCHAs and What Website Owners Should Do

The robot shows the person a recognized captcha, and the site owner holds his head in concern. — Captcha no longer stops AI

CAPTCHA has long been considered one of the simplest and most reliable ways to protect websites from bots. It required the user to perform an action that automated programs supposedly could not repeat: recognize distorted characters, select images with bicycles, or mark all traffic lights. But the era of artificial intelligence has changed the rules of the game. What seemed impossible for a computer ten years ago is now performed by algorithms faster and more accurately than humans. Website owners are now facing a reality where the familiar CAPTCHA no longer guarantees protection.

Why Governments Started Investing Trillions in AI Infrastructure

A group of people in business attire are discussing a large AI processor against the backdrop of data centers and a government building with a dome. — The state as a key investor in strategic AI infrastructure

Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a laboratory experiment and has become the foundation of a new economy. If just a few years ago AI investments were associated mostly with private companies, today governments have actively joined the race. The USA, the EU, China, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates are competing to build the most powerful data centers, purchase thousands of GPUs, develop their own models, and even form state-level alliances with corporations. The amount of investment is no longer counted in billions — but in trillions of dollars.

A person is debating between choosing a 1U server and a mini PC, pictured on either side. — Finding a balance between power, format and ease of placement

In today’s world, compactness is not just a convenience — it’s a necessity. Companies strive to fit more computing power into smaller spaces, while technical specialists look for ways to optimize performance without sacrificing efficiency. That’s why, alongside traditional rack-mounted server solutions, mini PCs are increasingly appearing — and at first glance, they might seem like a decent alternative. However, there is a significant difference between them — both in purpose and in capability.

The smartphone controls the heater via a smart socket with a Wi-Fi module. — Convenient power management during power outages

At a time when electricity supply is often unstable and energy saving has become a matter not just of economy but also of protecting household appliances, smart plugs come to the rescue. These small devices can turn an ordinary electrical appliance into part of a smart home, allowing users to remotely control power, monitor energy consumption, and even automate device operation. But how exactly do they help during outages, and why have they become so popular in recent years?

How Data Centers Isolate Vibrations from Server Racks

The server rack is mounted on a platform with springs that isolate vibrations. — Protecting servers from vibrations and micromovements

Modern data centers are not just rooms filled with servers. They are complex engineering systems where every detail matters — from air temperature and humidity to the slightest floor vibrations. One of the least noticeable yet critically important factors for stable server performance is vibration. It can cause microscopic failures in hard drives, accelerate component wear, and, under heavy load, even lead to hardware failure. That’s why engineers pay great attention to isolating vibrations inside data centers.

An engineer installs or replaces a server module in a data center rack. — Hot swapping allows servers to be serviced without interruption

In a world where business processes operate continuously and online services are available to users 24/7, the stability of servers becomes one of the key success factors. A website may receive thousands of visitors per day, a CRM system serves managers in real time, and financial transactions take place every second. Under such conditions, even a short downtime can have significant consequences: from halted sales and disrupted internal processes to loss of reputation and customer trust. That is why modern servers are designed to remain operational even during maintenance. One of the technologies enabling this is the ability to hot-swap disks and power supplies.
