The Speed Mismatch Putting Modern Security At Risk
Attackers operate at machine speed while security validation runs on a calendar. The growing gap is reshaping how organizations must test and manage risk.

YouTube is rolling out some additional parental controls, including a way to set time limits for viewing Shorts on teen accounts. In the near future, parents and guardians will be able to set the Shorts timer to zero on supervised accounts. "This is an industry-first feature that puts parents firmly in control of the amount of short-form content their kids watch," Jennifer Flannery O'Connor, YouTube's vice president of product management, wrote in a blog post . Along with that, take-a-break and bedtime reminders are now enabled by default for users aged 13-17. The platform is also bringing in new principles , under which it will recommend more age-appropriate and "enriching" videos to teens. For instance, YouTube will suggest videos from the likes of Khan Academy, CrashCourse and TED-Ed to them more often. It said it developed these principles (and a guide for creators to make teen-friendly videos) with help from its youth advisory committee, the Center for Scholars and Storytellers at UCLA, the American Psychological Association, the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and other organizations. Moreover, an updated sign-up process for kid accounts will be available in the coming weeks. Kid accounts are tied to parental ones, and don't have their own associated email address or a password. YouTube says users will be able to switch between accounts in the mobile app with just a few taps. "This makes it easier to ensure that everyone in the family is in the right viewing experience with the content settings and recommendations of age-appropriate content they actually want to watch," O'Connor wrote.

Even if Jensen spent his entire keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show jawing about anything and everything except consumer electronics, Nvidia still had something to announce: the latest version of DLSS. Team Green’s upscaling tech is now at version 4.5 . It’s now available to try out (at least in part) via the latest version of the Nvidia Windows app. Before you boot up your benchmarks, be aware that not all of the goodies announced at CES are immediately enabled. That 6x frame gen and dynamic frame gen — which only enables the controversial tech as much as necessary to hit your framerate targets — are notably absent. The only major addition currently enabled in DLSS 4.5 is updated models for Super Resolution, the more basic upscaling tech that Nvidia has been using for a while. Enabling the new models via the DLSS Override features in the Nvidia app gives you access to: Model M — standard optimized DLSS Model L — optimized for 4K resolution Preset K — new default for “remaining DLSS modes” For the time being you’ll need to enable this DLSS override on a per-game basis , so it’s best to give it a shot on high-performance games for which you have a specific target in mind. To that end, the latest Nvidia App update also turns on DLSS override support for 77 new games, notably including Arc Raiders, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Europa Universalis V, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Ninja Gaiden 4, and The Outer Worlds 2 . The update is available in the app right now, or you can always download it manually.
AI agents have quickly moved from experimental tools to core components of daily workflows across security, engineering, IT, and operations. What began as individual productivity aids, like personal code assistants, chatbots, and copilots, has evolved into shared, organization-wide agents embedded in critical processes. These agents can orchestrate workflows across multiple systems, for example:
You can easily spruce up your nightstand or desk by decluttering a bit, replacing some of those annoying charging cables with a good wireless charging setup. One of our favorites that can handle three devices at once is the UGREEN MagFlow Qi2 3-in-1 Charger Station 25W . Normally $140, it's on sale right now for $95; that's 32 percent off and only about $5 more than its record-low price. This is our top pick for a 3-in-1 charging pad thanks to its versatility. The UGREEN can work equally well as a permanent fixture in your home or act as a portable charging station. It boasts a foldable design and has smart little design details to keep it feeling like a premium product. The Qi2 25W charging works across a range of iPhone models and accessories, such as AirPods. There's also a dedicated part of the pad's design for an Apple Watch, which uses a proprietary charging standard, to power up too. Just note that you'll need a newer model of phone and the latest iOS 26 in order to take full advantage of the 25W charging capability. The wireless pad also comes with both a charging plug and a cable. We felt this UGREEN model was a great value at $140, so being able to snag one for a third of the usual price is an even better deal.
