An overview of the most important IoT, AI, Embedded, and Maker events worldwide through the end of 2026.
Vorwerk has shut down the Neato cloud, stripping thousands of expensive robot vacuums of their smart features. This article explains how closely Neato and Kobold are related, what Vorwerk officially says about it, and which options the community still has.
Predictive maintenance is often seen as a flagship AI use case in the IIoT, yet many projects fail due to a lack of real fault data. This article explains why class imbalance is a core challenge, how SMOTE and GANs attempt to address it, and which alternative strategies exist beyond synthetic fault data.
Listen to the audio version LG plans to further integrate Artificial Intelligence into its smart TVs. Part of this strategy is Microsoft’s AI service Copilot. What was announced as a feature for new devices is now causing frustration among owners […]
With the new 2025.12 update, Home Assistant is now available for download. This update brings more than cosmetic improvements. Instead, the developer community introduces several major innovations that pave the way for a new phase: smarter automations, clearer user interfaces, and significantly expanded energy and water monitoring.
In times of increasingly frequent cloud outages, arbitrary changes in app control by manufacturers, and opaque data collection, locally operated smart home solutions are gaining importance. A central platform in this field is Home Assistant.
A major Cloudflare outage has taken down key parts of the internet, revealing once more how vulnerable a centralized web has become. Originally designed to be resilient and decentralized, today’s internet increasingly depends on just a few providers—creating massive ripple effects when one of them fails.
Norwegian IoT company IXT, founded by Raymond Berntsen and Henning Solberg, enters the global market as a new full MVNO with its own core network. In an exclusive WeSpeakIoT interview, the founders explain how IXT aims to simplify global IoT connectivity with secure, scalable, and transparent solutions for industries like smart cities, e-mobility, logistics, and energy.
Software developer and blogger Harishankar Narayanan describes on his tech blog CodeTiger an incident that exemplifies the loss of control many users experience over their own devices. His smart vacuum cleaner, the iLife A11, suddenly stopped working—after he blocked its data transmissions to the manufacturer. The case exposes how deeply manufacturers of cloud-based devices can interfere with the autonomy of their customers.
I had promised myself not to write yet another article from the “Internet of Trash” category, lamenting how helpless we all are when the cloud goes down. But fate had other plans: On October 20, 2025, a large-scale outage of the AWS Cloud demonstrated how vulnerable the Internet has become to a single disruption. Ironically, resilience against individual failures was once the very foundation of an indestructible communication network.
