My cat Mira is perfect, and has never done anything wrong. She also loves walking on laptop keys—both my MacBook and my wife Kathy’s Windows PC.You might think that walking on laptops is an example of Mira doing something wrong. She disagrees. And, in any case, we’ve both learned a lot about how our computers work because of this. Every time she walks across our keyboards she triggers some new, confusing keyboard shortcut. I wonder how she did it, but then I find out the keyboard shortcut by Googling around. Here’s what I learned.Mira Hides Important ThingsMultiple times Mira has…
HIDDEN is an outdoor escape room game that allows players to explore Singapore’s neighbourhoods & history Singapore is not short of escape rooms, ones that are usually built indoors and feature puzzles for participants to solve for them to beat the game and “escape” the room.

Well, it's the day before the Instructure "pay or leak" deadline (at least by my Aussie watch), and the company remains removed from the ShinyHunters website. In its place sits a press statement that amounts to "we're not making any statements". So did they pay? And if so, what lofty figure would an incident of this scale command? The lawsuits are already being prepared (search for "instructure class action lawsuit"), so perhaps that will be the catalyst for transparency. What a crazy time.
Apple’s $250M Siri settlement exposes the danger of selling AI promises before the technology is actually ready to deliver. Apple built its reputation on one simple idea for years: it ships late, but it ships polished. That philosophy separated it from Silicon Valley’s habit of releasing half-finished products and fixing them later. That’s exactly why this Siri AI lawsuit matters more than the $250 million settlement attached to it. Apple is now paying to settle claims that it misled millions of iPhone buyers by heavily promoting AI-powered Siri features that either did not really exist at launch. The lawsuit targeted…
So, what’s a guy got to do to become a billionaire around here? Greg Brockman scribbled the question in his diary, recently unsealed as trial evidence, just two years after co-founding OpenAI as a charity in 2015: “Financially, what will take me to $1B?”For Brockman, now OpenAI’s president, the answer was a yearslong restructuring saga in which OpenAI metamorphosed from a nonprofit research lab into a corporate behemoth on the verge of a massive public offering. Elon Musk, another co-founder who left OpenAI in 2018, is suing OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and executives like Brockman for this transformation, alleging that…
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a critical security vulnerability in Ollama that, if successfully exploited, could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to leak its entire process memory. The out-of-bounds read flaw, which likely impacts over 300,000 servers globally, is tracked as CVE-2026-7482 (CVSS score: 9.1). It has been codenamed Bleeding Llama by Cyera.

On GitHub, the project has more than 171,000 stars and has been forked over 16,100 times. “Ollama before 0.17.1 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the GGUF…
If DDR5 prices were not painful enough already, counterfeit RAM is now entering the chat. Some fake memory sticks reportedly look convincing enough to fool buyers, right down to plastic chunks disguised as DRAM chips. Fake DDR5 RAM sticks are now getting disturbingly convincing Latest reports from Asian PC markets suggest that counterfeit DDR5 modules are rapidly spreading across online stores and gray-market retailers, especially as memory prices continue to climb. The fake sticks are often disguised as legitimate Samsung or SK Hynix modules, complete with cloned labels, serial stickers, and packaging. 注意喚起DDR5のメモリの偽物が出回ってます。一見すると普通のメモリですが、実際に搭載されているチップはただの基板、プラスチックの板です。取り外して切断して確認しました。動作未確認のメモリーとかマジで購入する際は気をつけてください！4090の悲劇を起こさないように！ pic.twitter.com/gcKAjRDUei— TAKI (@taki_pc_1115) May 10, 2026 Some…
NASA Following the success of its Artemis II crewed mission, NASA is now turning its focus to the next milestones in its plan to put astronauts back on the moon.

This week, NASA shared that it now has a full-scale prototype of the crew cabin of Blue Origin’s Mark 2 lander so…
