  • Amazon plans to cut around 14,000 corporate jobs, blaming AI
    October 28, 2025, 8:02 AM EDT. Amazon plans to trim roughly 14,000 corporate roles as part of a broader efficiency push. The company says the move is aimed at reducing bureaucracy and reallocating resources to its biggest bets, while hinting more cuts could come as it leans into automation, robotics, and AI. Senior executive Beth Galetti told employees that most staff will have 90 days to seek internal opportunities, with the note emphasizing that this generation of AI is transforming business. CEO Andy Jassy also positioned generative AI as both a driver of efficiency and a strategic direction for products and services. The layoff batch is smaller than earlier rumors of 30,000 jobs.
  • iOS 26 Fitness Update Lets You Create Custom Apple Watch Workouts on iPhone
    October 28, 2025, 7:46 AM EDT. With iOS 26, the Fitness app gains a new Workouts feature that lets iPhone users design custom training sessions-without tapping the watch. The new Workout menu (including a Custom filter) supports naming workouts, defining run/walk intervals, warm-up and cooldowns, and even adding music and targets. You access it in Fitness by tapping Workouts, selecting an activity, tapping the timer icon, and choosing Custom; you can create a brand-new routine with the plus sign. The post also mentions sharing workouts with friends and family. For Apple Watch users, this makes cross-device customization easier, while AirPods Pro 3 can support heart rate sensors during workouts. Overall, a welcome improvement to the Fitness app workflow on iPhone with iOS 26.
  • Google Pixel Watch (2022) ends guaranteed support with final update
    October 28, 2025, 7:44 AM EDT. Google's first Pixel Watch (2022) receives its final software update, BW1A.251005.003.W1, keeping it on Wear OS 5.1 (Android 15) with only security updates and bug fixes. The update marks the end of guaranteed system and security support, though Play Store app updates will continue for a while. The original Pixel Watch won't receive Wear OS 6 or Android 16 upgrades, a privilege reserved for newer models. Three years of updates have delivered two major version jumps-Wear OS 4 and 5.1-alongside performance and battery tweaks. Google notes this is the farewell patch, but users will still get app and service updates through the Play Store to keep essential functions usable longer. For now, install the patch when it hits your device.
  • IonQ vs Nvidia: Is Quantum Computing the Next Big AI Stock?
    October 28, 2025, 7:40 AM EDT. IonQ's CEO argues that quantum processing units could eventually replace GPUs in accelerated computing, signaling a potential long-term disruption to the AI stack. But Nvidia remains the AI market leader, with a data-center capex path heading toward trillions in spending by 2030 and a dominant GPU moat. The piece weighs whether IonQ can catch up before 2030-2035, noting most quantum firms expect meaningful sales later in the decade, and competitors like Rigetti see a TAM in the tens of billions by 2035. Until quantum tech matures, Nvidia's scale and AI infrastructure pullback risk keep it central near-term, while IonQ remains a high-growth, high-uncertainty play.
  • Federating Europe's Earth Observation Ground Segment: DOMINO-E Demonstrates Federated Mission Planning and Data Delivery
    October 28, 2025, 7:38 AM EDT. Europe's EO ground segment is evolving through the DOMINO-E PoC, which federates mission planning, communication management, and user interfaces into a single, resilient ecosystem. The Coverage Service, developed by Onera, Capgemini, and Airbus, coordinates multi-mission planning in a Kubernetes cloud, delivering optimized coverage with efficiencies over 95% and reduced planning latency (~40%) compared with isolated setups. The SCRMS, by ITTI and Airbus, acts as the intelligent intermediary between satellites and ground stations, dynamically allocating contacts, balancing demand and cost, and showing resilience against disruptive conditions. The federation demonstrates how shared interfaces and centralized orchestration can prevent missed observation windows, lower operational risk, and streamline EO services, paving the way for a more scalable, interoperable European EO infrastructure.
