  • Dell PowerScale goes parallel with Project Lightning and AI Factory tie-in at SC25
    November 18, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. Dell used SC25 to unveil Project Lightning, parallelizing PowerScale via parallel IO in its OneFS operating system, using pNFS with a metadata server and Flex Files layout for scalable, multi-node throughput. Dell says this enables true parallel data distribution across a cluster, boosting throughput and linear scalability. The update adds NIXL (Nvidia Inference Transfer Library) integration for scalable KV cache offload to accelerate AI workloads, delivering a 1-second Time to First Token (TTFT) at a 131,000-token context, about 19x faster than standard vLLM. Dell also offers PowerScale in software-only, subscription form on qualified Dell PowerEdge servers, enabling compute purchases separate from hardware appliances. Dell's ObjectScale adds AI-optimized search features. The Dell AI Factory with Nvidia aims to speed production-grade AI, with broad ecosystem support from partners.
  • Google Calendar adds task-based time blocking and DND options for focused work
    November 18, 2025, 5:24 PM EST. Google Calendar is finally making it easy to block off time for focused work. You can create a new task, name it, and set how long you'll need. The feature marks you as busy, helping avoid other meetings, and Workspace and Education users will also get a DND option or automatic decline for conflicts. This tightens the link between Google Calendar and Tasks, giving tasks a practical presence in your schedule. Availability should roll out to users everywhere by early December. If you've relied on ad-hoc hacks to carve out time, this formalizes the process and keeps your day clearer.
  • DJI Osmo Action 6 review: adjustable aperture, swappable lenses push action cams toward real cameras
    November 18, 2025, 5:22 PM EST. DJI's Osmo Action 6 aims at real-camera performance in a compact action cam. It sports a larger 1/1.1-inch sensor, an adjustable aperture, and swappable lenses, pushing image quality beyond rivals while staying portable. The sensor upgrade enhances low-light performance, and a front touchscreen plus modular optics offer flexible shooting. Video supports up to 4K60 (with 120fps in certain modes) and 1080p at 960fps for slow-mo, plus 20m waterproofing. The standard kit is £329 and the Adventure bundle £415, with three batteries shared across the Osmo 360 family. Is it a 'real camera'? In practice, yes-if you want better optics and more setup options in a compact form.
