Technology
Three stories a day on the technology that changes how businesses run, chosen for what they mean rather than how loud they are.
Technology at The First Click is not a gadget page. Each weekday at 11 we choose three stories for the reader who has to decide something because of them: the chief technology officer sizing a refresh, the founder reading a funding round for what it says about the market, the security lead who needs to know which assumption just expired. The beats are AI and machine learning, enterprise software, cybersecurity, semiconductors, and startups and funding. Every story is summarised in our own words and links to the publisher who reported it. Beneath the day’s lead sits an editor’s note: why we chose it over the alternatives, and what to watch next. On Fridays the funniest of the week gathers in pubLOL, and every second Sunday a Ctrl+Shift column takes one technology question at length.
Every story we have kept in Technology, newest first. Headlines link to the publisher; the tags below narrow the list.

Sony and TSMC establish $4.69B image sensor JV in Japan
Sony and TSMC are investing $4.69 billion in a Japan-based joint venture to manufacture advanced image sensors, aiming to maintain competitive advantages against rising market rivals.
Editor's noteThe day’s lead over louder AI stories because image sensors are the quiet chokepoint in every phone, car and factory camera, and Sony’s share has been slipping. Bringing TSMC to Japan is a defensive move dressed as expansion. Watch whether the joint venture’s capacity is spoken for before the plant opens.
