Pixel 11’s ‘Pistachio’ color option should be ‘Old Avocado’
I don’t know how to describe Google’s green, or “Pistachio” color, for the base Pixel 11. It makes me feel some type of way, and photos don’t do it justice. Google has found a niche with its design philosophy, and it shows up in Android with Material 3 Expressive, but also in hardware. It’s nothing new, and the Pixel has shown its true colors for generations with some amazing tones throughout the series. Sometimes,…

Building a practical path to post-quantum cryptography
Quantum computing has alternated between breakthrough darling and overhyped promise in technology circles. Its powerful new capabilities come with a threat to break current cryptography, but for business leaders navigating the noise, the signal should be clear: post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a manageable evolution, not a crisis.
