Managing several display screens across one location or multiple sites can become difficult without the right system. Different content, inconsistent updates, and manual changes take valuable time away from daily operations. As the number of screens grows, keeping every display accurate becomes a bigger challenge for businesses. A Raspberry Pi digital signage solution helps simplify […]

Corporate compliance becomes more complex as a business adds subsidiaries, enters new states, or changes its ownership structure. Legal staff must keep formation records, annual reports, board actions, and registrations up to date across multiple offices. Early shortcuts often look manageable. Scale exposes the weak points quickly. That pressure explains why many corporations move from […]

Rockwell Automation’s July 2026 survey of 1,560 manufacturing decision-makers across 17 countries found that 93% of manufacturers already run MES software. Only 28% have it enterprise-wide, just 23% fully integrated across ERP, PLM, quality, and OT. This is a vendor survey, not independent research – but its own numbers back the reading. 44% rank integration […]

Manufacturers have spent decades automating physical production. Robots assemble components, sensors monitor equipment, and control systems coordinate increasingly complex operations. Yet many of the processes surrounding production still depend on manual data entry and communication. Information generated on the factory floor may need to reach maintenance, procurement, finance, logistics, or customer service. These handoffs are […]

Organizations rarely struggle because they lack process optimization tools. The more common problem is choosing tools before defining what needs to improve. A team might purchase workflow software when the real issue is an unclear process. It might automate a task that should first be eliminated or apply Lean techniques to a problem caused by […]

The company behind the disk space analyzer TreeSize has irked some users by no longer offering support or updates for perpetual licenses beyond their maintenance period unless customers subscribe. Further frustration has come from JAM Software's long-standing policy of not providing license keys or installers to TreeSize perpetual license holders after that support period ends.

Since 2025, JAM Software has been transitioning most TreeSize editions to subscription models. Today, it sells perpetual licenses only for personal use, which include 12 months of updates, support, and “downloads of older versions, and your license,” plus the option to extend the support period. TreeSize currently has "no plans to discontinue the sale of perpetual licenses for TreeSize Personal," product manager Hendrik Christ told Ars Technica.

As perpetual-license maintenance periods expire, customers are discovering that extending support now generally requires subscribing to software they already own the right to use.

Technology is moving fast, and it is no longer just about massive factory robots or self-driving cars. The everyday digital tools we use behind the scenes are quietly changing how vehicles get repaired, moved, and managed. Whether you run a garage, ship a vehicle across the country, or handle regular business paperwork, simple software and […]

A context platform is a governed layer that holds the metadata, business knowledge, operating procedures, and documentation an AI agent needs. It delivers that context through access controls, policies, and audit trails. For industrial teams, that layer can be the difference between a demo that looks useful and an agent that can be trusted near […]

In February 2024, Notion bought Skiff, an encrypted email and productivity software startup. Within a year, Notion shut down Skiff’s email service (taking @skiff.com email addresses with it). And in April 2025, the San Francisco-based company released Notion Mail, a Gmail client primarily built by people who joined Notion through the Skiff acquisition. Today, Notion announced that it’s shutting down Notion Mail, effectively killing what little remained of Skiff email.

In an X post (first spotted by 9to5Mac) today, Notion said that it will shutter the Notion Mail “inbox across web, desktop, and iOS on September 22.”

The post claimed that most Notion users don’t use email clients anyway and instead rely on AI agents to handle their electronic correspondence. It reads:
