A ransomware crew that built its reputation on mass file-transfer hacks has pulled off something different this month. Cl0p, the extortion group behind the 2023 MOVEit breach, has spent August 2026 naming Shell, Philips, General Electric, Fiserv and roughly 45 other companies on its dark-web leak site. The common thread isn’t a shared vendor for…
Hundreds of unionized video game developers stood outside Xbox studio buildings in Austin, Dallas, Seattle, Rockville, Hunt Valley, Montreal and Minneapolis on August 18 and 19, 2026, holding signs with a blunt message: stop the cuts. The rallies, organized under the banner “Save Our Devs,” mark the second coordinated protest wave against Microsoft’s plan to…
The leaker behind this month’s Grand Theft Auto 6 footage dump appears to have finally shown its hand. On August 27, 2026, blockchain investigators traced roughly $270,000 in transactions out of wallets linked to the anonymous group known as Cyberleek, the same entity that spent the previous two weeks flooding the internet with GTA 6…
Programmers spend six to ten hours a day with their fingers on a keyboard, so the input device stops being an accessory and starts being a productivity tool with its own return on investment. Three boards keep coming up in developer forums, VIA config threads, and RTINGS test benches in 2026: the Keychron Q1 Max,…
Evaluating AI agents that use external tools requires realistic test scenarios that capture how practitioners compose tools and iterate across conversation turns. Constructing such scenarios by hand demands deep domain expertise, does not scale across tool ecosystems, and produces static benchmarks that cannot track evolving APIs. We observe that tool specifications—function names, natural-language descriptions, and…
Modern AI systems are being deployed in complex domains such as medicine, science, and law, where there is often not a single correct answer given the observed evidence. Such systems must be able to represent and update uncertain beliefs about the world as new evidence arrives to make rational decisions. We introduce the novel technique…
Open AI models are evolving faster than ever, but bringing them into native applications can still require model-specific conversion, preprocessing,…
Apple pushed out two new chips overnight on August 25, 2026: the base-tier M6 and the high-end M5 Ultra, according to Apple’s own newsroom announcement and coverage from 36Kr. The new Mac mini and Mac Studio configurations built around them go on sale September 22, 2026. But the more consequential story sitting underneath the spec…
Apple spent August 25, 2026 rewriting its desktop lineup without much warning. The company introduced M6, its first chip built on TSMC’s 2-nanometer process, inside a redesigned Mac mini, and paired it with M5 Ultra, a four-die monster chip that tops out at an 80-core GPU and 512GB of unified memory inside the new Mac…
Nvidia has told major customers that prices on servers packed with its artificial intelligence chips are going up more than 15% in many cases, and the pain has already spilled into the consumer graphics card market. Newegg data tracked through late August 2026 shows RTX 50-series cards climbing as much as 39% since June, with…
