On April 2, the US expanded its visa bond policy. Six more African countries—Mauritius, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Seychelles, and Tunisia—were added to the United States’ visa bond programme, joining 24 other African nations whose citizens must now pay thousands of dollars upfront before entering the US for short-term travel. The policy affects travellers applying for B1/B2 visas, the category used for business trips, tourism, conferences, medical visits, and family travel. This week on Digital Nomads, we take a closer look at the impact of this policy on travel costs for citizens of the affected countries. techcabal.com/2026/05/23/dig…

AI is changing M&A as much as it is changing technology. Power companies, data centers, chip suppliers and overlooked infrastructure assets are suddenly becoming strategic targets. The AI boom is not only creating new companies, it is repricing entire industries. ft.com/content/20aed1… @ft @JFK_America @ArashMassoudi @mroliverbarnes @sindap @rwmcmorrow

Steve Jobs explains exactly why he thinks Microsoft makes "third rate products" "The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste" "I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. They don't think of original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their products" "Proportionally spaced fonts come from typesetting and beautiful books. That's where one gets the idea. If it weren't for the Mac, they would never have that in their products" "I'm saddened not by Microsoft's success. I have no problem with their success, they've earned it for the most part" "I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products"

What I like here is that a live event makes enterprise complexity visible, because entry, updates, video, operations and support all have to work together while thousands of people are moving in real time. @TMobileBusiness Partner.

Our Robotic Operation for Autonomous Delivery and Sustainment (ROADS) Prize Challenge is now live. Over two decades ago, the @DeptofWar helped plant the seeds for the driverless car industry via the DARPA Grand Challenge. Driverless cars are now operational in cities across the country - increasing utilization, lowering accident rates, and improving efficiency. It’s time for the DoW to harvest the benefits of those investments and advancements. The Defense Innovation Unit and the @USArmy are launching a $30,000,000 prize challenge for Robotic Operation for Autonomous Delivery and Sustainment (ROADS) to bring the best of consumer driverless car technology to the Department’s non-tactical vehicle (NTV) fleet to support on-installation logistics. “We’re looking for consumer-proven technology to help bring the benefits our Department personnel enjoy off-installation, onto the installation,” said David Payne, Acting Autonomy Portfolio Director at DIU. Submissions open through June 8 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time. Learn more and apply here: diu.mil/work-with-us/s…

What stands out to me is the handoff between systems. Entry, updates, navigation, video and operations all need timing, reliability and clean data flows. That is the engineering work people usually never see. PGA Championship ⛳️ @TMobileBusiness Partner
