How to Set Up a Web Development Environment in Kenya (2026 Edition)
Setting up a development environment is one of those things that should take an afternoon but often takes a week. Bad tutorials, outdated instructions, tools that conflict with each other, and setup guides written for fast fibre connections that assume you can casually download a 4GB installer are all part of the experience.
The Kenyan Student and Office Worker's Laptop Buying Guide (2026 Edition)
Buying a laptop in Kenya is not as simple as picking the highest specs within your budget. The market here is dominated by refurbished units imported from the US, UK, and Europe — which changes the calculus significantly. A refurbished HP EliteBook that cost Ksh 120,000 new might be sitting on Jumia right now for Ksh 35,000, and it will outperform a brand new Ksh 50,000 laptop with a Celeron processor in almost every meaningful way.
How to Secure Your Android Phone in 2026: A Complete Guide for Kenyan Smartphone Users
A new type of Android malware is making headlines this week, and it is unlike anything security researchers have seen before. Discovered by cybersecurity firm ESET, a malware strain called PromptSpy is the first ever Android malware to use generative AI — specifically Google's own Gemini — to take over your phone.

MoreKenya Lost Ksh 29.9 Billion to Cybercrime Last Year. AI Is About to Make That Number Much Worse.
Between December 2025 and January 2026, a single unknown person used a consumer AI chatbot to systematically dismantle the cybersecurity defences of the government of Mexico. By the time anyone noticed, 150 gigabytes of data was gone — tax records tied to 195 million taxpayers, voter files, government credentials, and civil registry documents spanning Mexico's federal tax authority, its electoral institute, four state governments, and a water utility
Nvidia Just Made $68 Billion in Three Months. Here Is Why That Number Matters for Kenya.
On Wednesday night, Nvidia reported quarterly revenue of $68.1 billion, a figure so large it requires a moment to sit with.

Cloudflare Just Built a Next.js Replacement in One Week With AI — And It Could Free Thousands of Developers From Vercel's Bills
For small projects and side hustles, Vercel's free tier is generous enough. But the moment your application gets real traffic, needs proper team collaboration, or requires advanced features like ISR caching and edge functions at scale, the bills climb fast.
