At the start of this week, the who’s-who of AI seemed – at least tentatively – on the side of AI regulation. Over the weekend, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had proposed a three-step plan for slowing AI development, including by embedding third-party evaluators in labs, coordinating across the domestic industry, and forging international agreements potentially…
OpenAI quietly shut a door on September 19, 2026. Since August 16, 2026, personal ChatGPT accounts on Free, Go, Plus, and even the $200-a-month Pro tier can no longer create a new Custom GPT or publish one to the GPT Store, according to updated OpenAI Help Center documentation reported by GPTs Korea. More than 3…
Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems stopped being a novelty purchase somewhere around mid-2026. ISPs are pushing multi-gig fiber plans into more neighborhoods, smart home device counts keep climbing, and the three biggest names in home networking, Amazon eero, Netgear Orbi, and TP-Link Deco, have all shipped flagship Wi-Fi 7 hardware built to handle it. The catch…
N-able has spent the first three weeks of September 2026 firefighting its own flagship product. The remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform N-central, used by managed service providers (MSPs) to remotely control client networks, has now received four emergency hotfixes in five weeks after researchers and the company itself uncovered a chain of authentication-bypass and…
Atom has been frozen since GitHub sunset it in December 2022, and nothing has patched it since. If you are still opening it out of habit in September 2026, you are running an editor with no security updates, no plugin registry maintenance from its original owner, and no path forward. This tutorial walks through migrating…
The episode resembled similar hacks by other AI models, but Google said it did not consider it an instance of model misalignment.
Unity developers spent most of 2025 wiring state machines and NavMesh agents together to fake intelligence in non-player characters. That approach still works for patrol routes and combat AI, but it falls apart the moment a player asks an NPC a question the designer never scripted. By September 2026, the fix has a name: pairing…
Three virtual reality headsets, three completely different bets on what VR should be in 2026. Valve’s Steam Frame launched on September 14 at a starting price of $1,059, using a lottery-style reservation system to ration supply. Sony’s PSVR2 has settled into a $399.99 price point after a round of cuts from its original $549.99 launch.…
Open ten terminal tabs, lose your SSH connection, and watch every long-running build die with it. That single failure mode is why terminal multiplexers exist, and in September 2026 the choice among them is no longer a two-horse race between tmux and GNU Screen. Zellij, the Rust-built “terminal workspace”, just shipped version 0.45.1 with nested…
Network traffic doesn’t lie the way an endpoint agent can be blinded or a log source can be tampered with. That’s the pitch behind network detection and response, and in September 2026 three vendors are fighting over who does it best: Darktrace, Vectra AI, and ExtraHop. All three landed as Leaders in the 2026 Gartner…
