The thing is, when you look for “Rum StockTwits,” you’ll find two very different groups preoccupied with NASDAQ-listed video sites and blockchain tokens for gaming sites with the same name: $RUM. The overlap is so great that it can be…
I know someone built an app, and now someone is telling him he needs to test it for security. You search Google for app penetration testing and find it costs between $5,000 and $35,000. That’s rent money. That’s payroll. That’s…
You are downloading a 4 GB file. Progress bar climbing. Then – blocked. “Transfer quota exceeded.” No warnings, no grace, plain stop-loss. MEGA’s free support uses a non-clean six-hour transfer cutoff rather than a 24-hour cutoff. The limit is about…
Coming out to look, I have been watching Google AI announcements for a long time now. Most years, it’s buzzwords and empty promises. But Google I/O 2025 felt different. What interests me is what they actually said they were going…

The overwhelming majority of founders I have spoken with are either immensely confident in the direction things are moving, or utterly oblivious to the fact that the tools they use are within their own wheelhouse. The startup and SME world…
Whenever you’ve connected to a work server in a cafe, you have either used a VPN or taken a risk you probably never considered. Most companies set up a VPN, tick the compliance box, and move on. Nonetheless, the real…
Over the past couple of months, I’ve spoken with startup founders in Riyadh and Jeddah, and the common denominator is that they built an app, got downloads, but no one is using it. Sound familiar? The Saudi application market is…
Companies usually focus on security only after it fails. The email looks a little funny. An employee clicks the wrong link. One of your suppliers or manufacturers is compromised – and so are you. That’s no longer worst-case. It’s Tuesday.…
