• Increasing computer memory, solid-state drive, and graphics processing unit prices may compress profit margins for technology firms including computer facilities management services, according to Wired magazine. Computer facilities management services may include the sale of computer hardware as part of their management process. A key cause of increasing prices is the booming AI industry, as AI servers require a lot of the same hardware that goes into more traditional computer equipment, according to Wired. Dell COO Jeff Clarke told Wired that the current shortage is the worst he's ever seen. "Demand is way ahead of supply. And it’s driven by AI. It’s driven by infrastructure," Clarke said. Clarke also noted that the spot market price of memory is up to five times higher since September 2025.

• Browser AI Agents, automated tools that interact with the web on behalf of users, have become a major blind spot in cybersecurity defenses, according to SquareX. Browser AI Agents are more likely to fall prey to cyberattacks than people, challenging the long-standing belief that human error is the weakest link in the technology chain, according to researchers at the cybersecurity firm. Unlike staff who undergo regular cybersecurity training, agents cannot recognize “suspicious URLs, excessive permission requests, or unusual website designs,” the company says.
• Computer facilities management industry employment and average wages for nonsupervisory employees increased slightly during the first two months of 2026, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
