Two Major Acts Pull Out of Good Things 2025, Festival Rallies With Replacements
Good Things has been hit with a huge last-minute lineup shake-up, with The All-American Rejects and Knocked Loose both forced to cancel their Aussie appearances just three days before kickoff due to family emergencies. The news broke late Tuesday night, with festival organisers and both bands releasing heartfelt statements explaining the painful decision. “Our thoughts are with the band and their families during this time.” The All-American Rejects: “We’re heartbroken to share that due to a sudden family loss, we won’t be able to make it to Australia as planned… Family has to come first.” It would’ve been the band’s first Australian visit in 16 years, making the cancellation especially gutting for longtime fans. But thankfully, the vast majority are also functioning human beings who’ve responded with compassion and empathy. Knocked Loose: “Anyone familiar with this band knows we do not take cancelling shows lightly; but family will always come first… We are already planning our return.” The Kentucky heavyweights were set to play the festival and their own headline shows around it, all of which are now off the table. Good Things Responds: “We Rally Together” Meanwhile, in a lengthy, emotional statement, organisers Destroy All Lines described the moment as “devastating,” adding: “Life can be unpredictable… The All-American Rejects and Knocked Loose will no longer be able to perform. Our thoughts are with the band and their families during this time.” But they also emphasised that the show will go on, urging fans to show up for each other and the wider community the festival has fostered. Stand Atlantic & Alpha Wolf Step Up Moving quickly to fill the sudden gaps, Good Things has added two beloved Australian acts to the 2025 bill: Stand Atlantic will take over The All-American Rejects’ slot Alpha Wolf will step in for Knocked Loose, hitting the Main Stage at 3:30pm in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane Both bands have responded with equal parts gratitude and nerves: Stand Atlantic: “We are honoured, nervous, and ready to show up and do what we do best.” Alpha Wolf: “We’re sending all our love… We’re going to try our best to fill their shoes on super short notice.” Good Things Still Promises a Big Weekend Ahead Despite the unexpected hurdles, organisers are urging fans to come together and celebrate the music, community and chaos the festival is known for: “While life can throw unexpected hurdles our way, the show will go on — and this weekend, we’ll come together as one community to create a great experience.” It comes on the heels of a rough day for heavy music events in Australia, with Parkway Drive forced to cancel their inaugural regionally roaming 2026 Park Waves festival. Meanwhile, Good Things kicks off this weekend across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – now with a slightly different lineup, but no less heart. Peep the updated lineup down below.

Building AI agents shouldn’t be hard. According to theCUBE Research, Docker makes it easy
For most developers, getting started with AI is still too complicated. Different models, tools, and platforms don’t always play nicely together. But with Docker, that’s changing fast. Docker is emerging as essential infrastructure for standardized, portable, and scalable AI environments. By bringing composability, simplicity, and GPU accessibility to the agentic era, Docker is helping developers and the enterprises they support move faster, safer, and with far less friction. Real results: Faster AI delivery with Docker The platform is accelerating innovation: According to the latest report from theCUBE Research, 88% of respondents reported that Docker reduced the time-to-market for new features or products, with nearly 40% achieving efficiency gains of more than 25%. Docker is playing an increasingly vital role in AI development as well. 52% of respondents cut AI project setup time by over 50%, while 97% report increased speed for new AI product development. Reduced AI project failures and delays Reliability remains a key performance indicator for AI initiatives, and Docker is proving instrumental in minimizing risk. 90% of respondents indicated that Docker helped prevent at least 10% of project failures or delays, while 16% reported prevention rates exceeding 50%. Additionally, 78% significantly improved testing and validation of AI models. These results highlight how Docker’s consistency, isolation, and repeatability not only speed development but also reduce costly rework and downtime, strengthening confidence in AI project delivery. Build, share, and run agents with Docker, easily and securely Docker’s mission for AI is simple: make building and running AI and agentic applications as easy, secure, and shareable as any other kind of software. Instead of wrestling with fragmented tools, developers can now rely on Docker’s trusted, container-based foundation with curated catalogs of verified models and tools, and a clean, modular way to wire them together. Whether you’re connecting an LLM to a database or linking services into a full agentic workflow, Docker makes it plug-and-play. With Docker Model Runner, you can pull and run large language models locally with GPU acceleration. The Docker MCP Catalog and Toolkit connect agents to over 270 MCP servers from partners like Stripe, Elastic, and GitHub. And with Docker Compose, you can define the whole AI stack of models, tools, and services in a single YAML file that runs the same way locally or in the cloud. Cagent, our open-source agent builder, lets you easily build, run, and share AI agents, with behavior, tools, and persona all defined in a single YAML file. And with Docker Sandboxes, you can run coding agents like Claude Code in a secure, local environment, keeping your workflows isolated and your data protected. Even hardware limits aren’t a blocker anymore when building agents. Docker Offload lets developers run heavy compute tasks on cloud GPUs with one click. Conclusion Docker’s vision is clear: to make AI development as simple and powerful as the workflows developers already know and love. And it’s working: theCUBE reports 52% of users cut AI project setup time by more than half, while 87% say they’ve accelerated time-to-market by at least 26%.

Cyber Startup Frenetik Launches with Patented Deception Technology That Bets Against the AI Arms Race
While most cybersecurity companies pour resources into AI models, massive compute, hoovering up all the data, and enhanced analytics to detect and prevent threats, Frenetik, a Maryland cyber startup, is betting on something simpler: making sure attackers don’t know what defenders know. The company emerged today with a fundamentally different approach using novel cyber deception and a newly issued U.S. patent to back it. “The industry has turned cybersecurity into a compute and analysis war,” said founder Hans Ismirnioglou. “Bigger models, more data, faster analysis. But you can’t out-compute or out-analyze an adversary forever. We’re not trying to. We’re exploiting information asymmetry.” Traditional deception tools deploy fake systems, wait for attackers to find them, and hope they interact. Frenetik’s patented “Deception In-Use” technology (U.S. Patent 12,463,981 – “Systems and Methods for Counter-Reconnaissance in Cloud Infrastructure to Disrupt Adversarial Targeting”) takes a different path: it continuously rotates actually used identities and resources across Microsoft Entra (M365), AWS, Google Cloud, and on-premises environments. The critical details of who changed, what changed, when, where, and how travel through out-of-band channels accessible only to trusted parties. Defenders stay informed. Attackers work from stale intelligence. “Adversaries, especially AI-driven ones, build models based on reconnaissance. They assume the environment they mapped earlier is the environment they’ll exploit today,” Ismirnioglou explained. “We break that assumption without needing a bigger GPU cluster by simply depriving them of easily discoverable information.” Users can think of it as musical chairs for hackers: by the time they figure out where to sit, everything has moved—and only defenders know which chairs are real and which have become traps. The technology transforms existing deception tools from passive traps into active ones. When Frenetik rotates real resources, attackers following stale intelligence get funneled straight into honeypots and decoys, supercharging interaction rates with classic deception elements that previously only hoped to look real. Unlike solutions requiring extensive tuning or analyst oversight, Frenetik works because attackers simply lack the information needed to know the difference. “I want the adversary to have to continuously put a dedicated body onto every target they go after – no more free lunches or easy days for America’s adversaries,” says Ismirnioglou. About Frenetik Frenetik, a Maryland-based cybersecurity startup, just emerged from stealth with a new approach: instead of flooding defenders with more data, it starves attackers of the information they need to move. Focused on measurable security outcomes, and pricing transparency, Frenetik is built to tip the balance of power by denying adversaries trustworthy insight into targeted environments. Frenetik offers a free community version at www.frenetik.us. Contact Founder Hans Ismirnioglou Frenetik [email protected] View the full article

Google Gemini AI Now Built Into Opera One and Opera GX Browsers
Opera has announced an expansion of its partnership with Google to integrate the latest Gemini AI models across much of its browser lineup. The expansion means the Gemini-powered side panel previously exclusive to Opera Neon is now freely available in the company's free-to-download Opera One and Opera GX browsers. By interacting with the side panel's AI chatbot, users can get contextually relevant answers based on the current webpage and group of webpages, as well as videos. Opera says responses can include easy research, content summaries, and comparisons between different tabs. In addition, Opera AI supports voice input and output, along with file analysis for multiple file types, including images and video. The company says the engine has been rebuilt for speed, with 20% faster responses thanks to the use of a new architecture that adopts an agentic-approach from Opera Neon. Opera also emphasizes that its privacy features ensure the user has full control over what context is shared with Opera AI and what is kept outside its awareness. "AI is reshaping how people interact with the web, and the browser is the natural entry point for those experiences,” said Opera's EVP Commercial, Per Wetterdal. "Through our partnership with Google, we are able to offer users the experiences they really want through native search and AI features, for free, directly in their Opera One and Opera GX browsers while our most advanced users of the agentic Opera Neon browser are already getting access to Gemini 3 Pro."Many users have been critical of AI's creep into browsers, but Opera argues that browsing is the next AI frontier. "Unlike a standalone chat interface, the browser has access to real-time context such as a user's open tabs, page content, and browsing flows," says the company's press release. "This enables more relevant and efficient assistance, supporting task completion directly within the browsing experience." You can decide for yourself by visiting Opera's website, which includes download links for Opera Browser, Opera Air, Opera GX, and Opera Mini.Tag: Opera Browser This article, "Google Gemini AI Now Built Into Opera One and Opera GX Browsers" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

AI Adoption Surges While Governance Lags — Report Warns of Growing Shadow Identity Risk
The 2025 State of AI Data Security Report reveals a widening contradiction in enterprise security: AI adoption is nearly universal, yet oversight remains limited. Eighty-three percent of organizations already use AI in daily operations, but only 13 percent say they have strong visibility into how these systems handle sensitive data. Produced by Cybersecurity Insiders with research support from Cyera Research Labs, the study reflects responses from 921 cybersecurity and IT professionals across industries and organization sizes. The data shows AI increasingly behaving as an ungoverned identity — a non-human user that reads faster, accesses more, and operates continuously. Yet most organizations still use human-centric identity models that break down at machine speed. As a result, two-thirds have caught AI tools over-accessing sensitive information, and 23 percent admit they have no controls for prompts or outputs. Autonomous AI agents stand out as the most exposed frontier. Seventy-six percent of respondents say these agents are the hardest systems to secure, while 57 percent lack the ability to block risky AI actions in real time. Visibility remains thin: nearly half report no visibility into AI usage and another third say they have only minimal insight — leaving most enterprises unsure where AI is operating or what data it touches. Governance structures lag behind adoption as well. Only 7 percent of organizations have a dedicated AI governance team, and just 11 percent feel prepared to meet emerging regulatory requirements, underscoring how quickly readiness gaps are widening. The report calls for a shift toward data-centric AI oversight with continuous discovery of AI use, real-time monitoring of prompts and outputs, and identity policies that treat AI as a distinct actor with narrowly scoped access driven by data sensitivity. “AI is no longer just another tool — it’s acting as a new identity inside the enterprise, one that never sleeps and often ignores boundaries,” said Holger Schulze with Cybersecurity Insiders. “Without visibility and robust governance, enterprises will keep finding their data in places it was never meant to be.” As the report cautions: “You cannot secure an AI agent you do not identify, and you cannot govern what you cannot see.” The full 2025 State of AI Data Security Report is available for download at: https://www.cybersecurity-insiders.com/portfolio/2025-state-of-ai-data-security-report-cyera/ Media Contact: [email protected] About Cybersecurity Insiders Cybersecurity Insiders provides strategic insight for security leaders, grounded in more than a decade of independent research and trusted by a global community of 600,000 cybersecurity professionals.

Apple Launches Tap to Pay on iPhone in Singapore
Apple has announced that Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available in Singapore, providing a way for independent sellers, small businesses, and larger merchants in the country to use an iPhone as a contactless payment terminal. Tap to Pay first arrived in February 2022 in the US, and allows iPhones to accept payments via Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets. All transactions are encrypted, and Apple has no information about what is purchased or the person who made the purchase. No additional hardware or credit card machine is required to use Tap to Pay on iPhone. The feature uses NFC technology to securely authenticate the contactless payments, plus the feature also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options. Tap to Pay will initially support Adyen, Fiuu, HitPay, Revolut, Stripe, and Zoho in Singapore. Apple says Grab will offer Tap to Pay on iPhone beginning early next year. Tap to Pay on iPhone requires iPhone XS or newer models, and works for customers as any normal Apple Pay transaction would. Sellers just need to open up the app, register the sale, and present their iPhone to the buyer, who can then use an appropriate contactless payment method. Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available in 50 countries and regions around the world. Apple's website maintains a list of countries where it is available.Tags: Singapore, Tap to Pay on iPhone This article, "Apple Launches Tap to Pay on iPhone in Singapore" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

Apple to Resist India's Order to Preload Government App on iPhones
Apple will resist a new Indian government directive that would require all iPhones sold in the country to ship with a preinstalled state-run security app, reports Reuters. This week, India's Department of Telecommunications ordered all smartphone makers to preload Sanchar Saathi, a non-removable government app designed to help users block stolen devices, report fraudulent calls, and verify second-hand phones. The app includes detailed tracking functionality controlled by the government, potentially opening a pathway for broad data access and potential surveillance, so there are privacy and security implications for iPhone users. According to The Business Standard, citing industry sources familiar with the matter, Apple has informed officials it does not plan to comply with the requirement. The company will reportedly tell the government it does not follow such mandates anywhere in the world as they raise a host of privacy and security issues for the company's iOS ecosystem. Apple's resistance to the directive will put added pressure on New Delhi, with political opposition parties already accusing the government of overreach. In response to the criticism, India's telecom minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia on Tuesday said the app was "completely optional," adding that users can choose to activate it and can "easily delete it from their phone at any time." Scindia rejected allegations of surveillance, stating the app contains no provisions for snooping or call monitoring. There are more than 700 million smartphone users in India, so any final decision will have major implications for how much control the government can exert over device software and how far tech companies like Apple can go in enforcing their own privacy standards.Tag: India This article, "Apple to Resist India's Order to Preload Government App on iPhones" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article
