In a weird anti-customer move, Netflix has quietly disabled the ability to cast its content from mobile devices to “most TVs and TV streaming devices” like the Google TV Streamer and the older Chromecast models with remotes. You can, however, still cast to even older Chromecasts, the ones that don’t come with a remote. And that’s the key here – basically, if it has a remote, casting is disabled.

I always loved reading. When I was in middle school, you’d never find me without a book (or a couple of books) in hand. I’d spend hours in the library, in the same exact spot, completely lost in whatever world I’d stumbled into that day. Unfortunately, I went from reading multiple books in a single week to reading practically none in months. While I’d obviously read stuff for work and college, it didn’t count in the way that made me feel like a “reader” anymore. This summer, I had one goal and one goal only: get back into reading. Getting…

But in a weaponized AI world, those approaches to analyzing threat data don't make sense. The latest survey numbers tell the story. More than half (55%) of organizations suffered cloud breaches in the past year. That’s a 17-point spike, according to Gigamon's…
