What happens when your smart TV moonlights as a cybercrime proxy and Elon Musk tries to buy out an entire neighborhood to silence data center noise complaints?

⁠This week on the Tech Field Day News Rundown⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Hollingsworth⁠ and guest host ⁠Ken Nalbone⁠⁠ unpack the week’s biggest enterprise IT stories: Google’s infrastructure seizure targeting the XCPE botnet baked into Chinese Android TV hardware, SpaceXSI offering buyout deals to 418 homeowners near its turbine-powered Colossus GPU cluster, and Intel making waves with a record-setting acquisition of quantum software pioneer Classiq.

They also break down NIST’s definitive post-quantum migration deadlines for phasing out RSA, Mirantis pitching a rapid escape hatch from Broadcom’s VMware licensing, CrowdStrike expanding its AI-driven Project QuiltWorks across Europe, and new data showing enterprise AI spending skyrocketed to $176.8 billion thanks to an explosion in autonomous AI agents.

⁠This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Hollingsworth⁠ and ⁠Ken Nalbone⁠⁠.
