Technology News: 20 September 2025 - 27 September 2025

November 23, 2025, 4:12 AM EST. Travel creators rejoice: the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 remains one of the best compact travel cameras thanks to its 3-axis mechanical stabilization and pocket-friendly form. This piece highlights the standout 2-inch swivel screen that can auto-turn on when you swivel, making on-the-go shooting effortless. Despite a prior price spike to about $979, it's now dropped by $300 ahead of Black Friday, delivering a rare mix of video quality and portability that outperforms many phones in 2025. It also offers solid battery life, fast charging, expandable storage via microSD, and remote control from your phone. In short, if you want a dedicated camera that's easy to carry and keeps up with events, this is a compelling option.

November 23, 2025, 4:10 AM EST. An AWS outage on Oct 20, 2025, in the US-EAST-1 region, disrupted global services due to a DNS resolution failure in the DynamoDB endpoint. AWS's incident report traced the fault to a DNS subsystem error where a cleanup job deleted active DNS records, rendering dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com unreachable even though DynamoDB remained healthy. The failure cascaded: dependent services, EC2/Lambda control planes, and internal resolvers faced retries, triggering a retry storm and misfires in the NLB health-check service, slowing recovery. The disruption affected millions across 60+ countries and industries, highlighting risks of heavy dependence on a single region/provider. AWS is disabling automation components and advising customers to adopt multi-region architectures, diversify dependency chains, and strengthen DNS/load-balancing resilience.

November 23, 2025, 4:08 AM EST. In the AI race, two stocks attract attention: Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) and IBM. QCi focuses on photonic quantum computing to boost AI, with room-temperature, miniaturized devices like the EmuCore and a recent automotive customer. Yet revenue lags costs, and the company has raised capital to fund operations, underscoring execution risk. IBM has shifted toward AI and cloud, reporting a growing AI book of business and solid revenue, plus progress in quantum with the Nighthawk processor and a path to quantum advantage. The question for investors is when these quantum and AI efforts translate into profitability. QCi's timeline remains uncertain, while IBM aims to monetize quantum-enabled AI at scale. Align your risk tolerance and time horizon with execution pace and capital needs.

November 23, 2025, 4:06 AM EST. With Nvidia delivering strong earnings and AI-driven gains fueling tech rallies, investors are weighing whether we're in an AI bubble. The AIQ ETF has shed about $2.4 trillion from Oct 29, and a Bank of America survey shows many money managers see AI equities as the top risk. Opinions differ: BlackRock's Carolyn Barnette argues today's AI landscape is grounded in profitability and cash generation, not dot-com-style hype, with capital funded by earnings rather than debt. Counterpoints from Torsten Sløk of Apollo Global Management blame a rate-driven bubble born in a zero-rate era. As you consider exposure, the takeaway is to focus on fundamentals, diversification, and risk controls rather than chasing hype. If AI investments turn volatile, consider hedges, selective exposure, and a disciplined rebalancing plan.

November 23, 2025, 4:04 AM EST. Recent outages-Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, and Google-have exposed a fragile digital backbone built on shared gateways, load balancers, and identity checks. What began as routine maintenance quickly became global disruption, reminding users that the internet is not as distributed as it feels. The same small changes in one corner can ripple across banks, retail, and smart devices, from edge networks to consumer gadgets that rely on cloud handshakes. Industry leaders framed the events as latent bugs rather than breaches, underscoring how a single configuration slip can cascade into multi-hour downtime with costs climbing into the millions per hour for large enterprises. The takeaway: connectivity depends on tightly coupled infrastructure, and too big to fail has left us too connected to fail when one link falters.
