Enterprise software company ServiceNow agreed to acquire nine-year-old cybersecurity startup Armis for $7.75 billion in cash. The deal is a massive valuation jump for the company. Just last month, Armis raised a $435 million pre-IPO funding round, which valued the company at $6.1 billion. Armis co-founder and CEO Yevgeny Dibrov had told TechCrunch last month that the company aims to go public in late 2026 or 2027, adding that an IPO is his “personal dream.” Given the unpredictability of IPO markets and how few cybersecurity companies actually go public, it is not a surprise that Armis ultimately chose an M&A…
HTG Wrapped 2025: 24 days of tech 24 days of our favorite hardware, gadgets, and tech It isn’t every day that a new technology can be described as a paradigm shift, but Starlink is pretty close. Satellite internet, which used to be relatively slow and very high latency, is now competitive with broadband. My Starlink Mini has quickly become one of my favorite gadgets, and is my constant companion in my car. I originally purchased the Starlink Mini because I was planning on taking a long road trip and working on the move, but it quickly became so much more…

Brand-agency partnerships look very different today than they did even a few years ago, and by 2026 that gap will only widen. Internal marketing teams are more sophisticated, digital channels are more specialized, and the role agencies play is no longer one-size-fits-all. As a result, the companies that get the most value from agency relationships aren’t always the biggest spenders. They’re the ones that are clear about what they need and what they don’t. That clarity starts with understanding the true role an agency should play inside your organization. Too many partnerships struggle because expectations and responsibilities were never properly…

The first several episodes from the fifth and final season of Stranger Things are now out, and everyone is understandably excited. After all, Stranger Things is a generational TV show that’s been building momentum ever since it debuted on Netflix in 2016. Everyone wants to know how it ends. But that same year, another sci-fi thriller debuted on Netflix that may beat Stranger Things at its own game, even if it never became as popular. The OA is stranger than Stranger Things And may be better The OA is a wildly original series that could only have been made at…
I’ve spent the last six weeks putting a range of smartwatches and fitness trackers through their paces, so you better believe this offer caught my eye. You can currently buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2 from Amazon for $549 (was $799).Not only is that a huge $250 discount, but it brings it down to its lowest price ever, even lower than its previous low of $599, which it hit on Cyber Monday at the beginning of December. And that price gives you two different options: either the Ultra 2 with Blue/Black Trail Loop or the Indigo Alpine Loop.Today’s best Apple…
By most measures, it’s been a sensational year for SpaceX. The American spaceflight company will finish 2025 having notched up a record-breaking 165 launches using its trusty Falcon 9 rocket, with the final lift-off of the year targeting Saturday, December 27. SpaceX’s last flight of 2025 is the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation mission for the Italian Space Agency and the Italian Ministry of Defence, launching from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission is currently scheduled for 6:08 p.m. PT, though if needed, a backup opportunity is in place for Sunday, December 28, at the same time. A livestream of…
Why It Works Slowly adding the sugar to the egg whites while whipping ensures it will dissolve properly.Whisking the meringue at a lower speed for longer results in a stronger, more stable foam that’s less likely to deflate.Seltzer lightens the dense paste of egg yolks, oil, and flour to minimize deflation of the meringue as you fold the cake batter. When I lived in Toronto, there was a Japanese coffee shop called NEO Coffee Bar several blocks away from my apartment. They made exquisite sweets and sandwiches: Their glass case was filled with sandos, mochi, choux pastries, and roll cakes.…
arXiv:2512.19494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The recent development of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) introduced new discoveries in the field of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), expanding the existing set of models with KAN-based versions of GNNs, which often surpass the accuracy of MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP)-based GNNs. These models were widely tested on the graph datasets consisting of organic molecules; however, those studies disregarded the inorganic nanomaterials datasets. In this work, we close this gap by applying Kolmogorov-Arnold Graph Neural Networks (KAGNNs) to a recently published large inorganic nanomaterials dataset called CHILI. For this, we adapt and test KAGNNs appropriate for this dataset.…
