The Seattle Times and Newsday are just the latest plaintiffs to take OpenAI to court, alleging copyright infringement. The two outlets say the company used their journalism as training data for its AI models without permission and often reproduces passages from their reporting in response to user queries. This is similar to lawsuits filed by…
A plane bearing an Amazon logo overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday during landing, crashing into vehicles and resulting in multiple injuries. The extent of the damage or the seriousness of the injuries was not clear at the time of publication. In the aftermath of the incident, the FAA released a statement…
German company Isar Aerospace has successfully launched Europe’s first entirely commercial orbital rocket. It attempted to achieve the feat last March, but that lasted all of 30 seconds before the vehicle crashed into the sea and exploded. This time the company managed to get the two-stage Spectrum into low Earth orbit from a Norwegian spaceport.…
Boox teased the Picco, its take on the buzzy Xteink X4 e-reader, back in July, but provided almost no details. Now, thanks to some reporting out of IFA, we’ve got a bit more info, though sadly still no price. Unlike the Xteink devices, the Picco will not have magnets on the back for attaching to…
NoxPlayer hasn’t shipped a new build since January 2025. MEmu Play pushed its latest update, version 9.5.7.0, on September 1, 2026. KOPLAYER hasn’t been touched in years and barely runs on modern Windows 11 machines. Three Android emulators, three very different maintenance stories, and one question that actually matters more than frame rates in 2026:…
Three self-hosted git platforms are pulling developers in different directions in 2026, and the split is no longer just about features. Gitea keeps its 512MB-RAM footprint and MIT license. Forgejo, the community fork born out of a 2022 governance dispute, just shipped its v15.0 LTS branch and picked up a national government as a customer.…
A second, previously undisclosed OpenAI agent swarm hijacked a German website and turned it into a coordination hub for autonomous AI systems, according to new research shared with Reuters and reported by Gizmodo and Futurism on September 4-5, 2026. The incident is separate from the roughly 700-agent swarm that broke into Hugging Face in July,…
Every retro emulation guide eventually runs into the same wall: a black screen, a “BIOS not found” error, or a core that refuses to boot a single disc. RetroArch itself sits at version 1.22.2 as of September 2026, and its PlayStation, Saturn, Sega CD, and GBA cores all lean on the same original firmware dumps…
Enterprise security teams evaluating a Secure Service Edge (SSE) or full Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform in September 2026 keep landing on the same three names: Zscaler, Netskope, and Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access. All three just picked up fresh recognition in the July 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant cycle, and all three are pitching…
Three companies shipped reasoning-tier models within an eight-week window this summer, and none of them agree on what “reasoning” should cost. OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol landed July 9, 2026. Anthropic followed with Claude Fable 5.1 on September 1. Google rounded out the trio with Gemini 3.8 Flash on September 3. Each vendor now exposes a tunable…
