Cradlepoint R1900: Deployment Configuration Guide for Enterprise IT Administrators

When an enterprise IT team faces the challenge of deploying secure, high-performance wireless connectivity at remote or mobile sites, the Cradlepoint R1900 router often stands out for its rugged build and advanced networking capabilities. Imagine outfitting a fleet of emergency response vehicles or setting up edge connectivity at a construction site-both scenarios demand reliable network performance under harsh conditions. IT administrators must not only install and configure these devices but also ensure they integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure and adhere to strict security standards.

Top tips: 4 tips to fix your phone's storage problem

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what's trending in the tech world and list practical ways to explore these trends. This week, we're clearing out the one notification nobody wants to see: storage full. You’re about to capture the perfect moment and a message pops up: Storage full. The same sentiment applies to a fridge:Nobody means to overstuff it, but a little goes in every day at a faster rate than items come out, until a lemon ends up balanced on the edge of a shelf.

How to fix AI-generated code automatically #aicoding #devops #softwareengineering #techshorts #qa

AI coding agents write code fast, but without real-world context, they create buggy software that turns your users into a QA team. Speedscale’s production context layer captures real traffic and dependencies, giving your AI assistant the power to safely rehearse and test code changes before deploying.

Three LLM Cost Optimization Patterns That Cut Token Spend Without Degrading Quality

Most AI cost conversations start as a surprise. An engineering team builds a new feature with large language models, or they use these LLMs in the features themselves, or they are building AI agents that are talking directly to LLMs. Before you know it, costs climbed faster than expected. You look into making shorter prompts, using cheaper models, and restricting outputs.

What Is OpenTelemetry? A Guide to the OTel Framework

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability framework, hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), that standardizes how your applications generate, collect, and export telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. The instrumentation stays vendor-neutral, so you can instrument a service once, send its telemetry to the observability tool your team uses today, and point it at a different tool next year without touching application code.

ilert now supports a native OpenNMS integration

OpenNMS alarms now reach ilert through a dedicated plugin that runs inside OpenNMS. Network and infrastructure teams get a direct path from an alarm on a device, interface, or service to the phone of the engineer on call. The ilert alert then follows the alarm: accepted when it is acknowledged, resolved when it clears.

With a sandbox workspace of its own, Olly answers bigger questions

Ask Olly to audit your alert coverage and it pulls the whole set through the API, works through it with a script, and hands back the gaps as a report you can send to the team. DataPrime and PromQL already answer the questions that fit a query language, and Olly has been answering those for a long time. The sandbox is for everything else: the sources that have no query language of their own, the correlations that span two languages at once, and the analysis that needs a script rather than a filter.

Hillclimbing Meets Production: What Changes When the Agent Runs Your Infrastructure

On 28 September, Anthropic published a playbook for designing evals and hillclimbing against them, and shipped two commands that put it to work. In Claude Code, /claude-api build-eval interviews you and builds an eval inside your codebase. /claude-api hillclimb then improves your app against it, one change per round, with a held-out split to catch overfitting. It is a good piece of work, and the results are concrete.
