GrapheneOS Foundation announced via Mastodon that official support for Motorola devices will begin next year with a high-end slab flagship, followed later by the Razr Fold and Razr Ultra foldables, making the Ultra the first flip phone to officially run the privacy-focused OS. The rollout targets phones using next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chips, since current Motorola hardware doesn't yet fully support features like hardware memory tagging and secure element integration.
Shein filed to raise as much as HK$13.86 billion (about $1.77 billion) by selling roughly 280 million Class B shares priced between HK$47.60 and HK$49.50 apiece, implying a valuation near $27 billion at the top end. Pricing will be finalized August 31, with trading set to begin September 1, following Chinese regulatory approval after earlier listing attempts in London and New York fell through.
A federal appeals panel rejected Xinuos's claim that IBM improperly contributed Project Monterey code to Linux, ruling the deadline to pursue such action had passed. Xinuos, a legal successor to SCO, now plans to petition for the case to be reheard by the full Second Circuit Court of Appeals rather than just a three-judge panel.
Claude users began reporting access problems and elevated errors starting around 12 AM ET on August 24, with issues confirmed across multiple models including Claude Mythos 5, Claude Fable 5, and Claude Opus 5. Anthropic acknowledged the outage on its status page, saying it has identified the cause and is working on a fix, though no resolution timeline has been given.
Equifax has changed how people access The Work Number, its database of employment and income records used like a credit-history file for jobs. Users no longer need an employer-specific code to log in, but everyone—new and previously registered users alike—must set up a fresh account on the redesigned site.
Pixel 11 owners are reporting severe graphical glitches that make Genshin Impact unplayable, a problem tied to the Tensor G6 chip's PowerVR GPU, which HoYoverse says doesn't meet the game's minimum requirements. Google confirmed it is working with HoYoverse on an optimization fix expected in an upcoming Genshin Impact update.
One hundred days into the current Ebola outbreak, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has recorded over 5,200 cases, making it the country's fastest-growing epidemic on record. Cases are averaging about 90 confirmed infections daily, a pace higher than seen in the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak or the 2018-2020 DRC outbreak, and the virus has now spread to a sixth province, with Ituri accounting for roughly 85% of cases and 79% of deaths.
A report from South Korean outlet SEDaily, citing industry sources, says Samsung's in-house benchmarking shows its upcoming Exynos 2700 chip outperforming Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Pro across several metrics, including Geekbench 6.5 scores, gaming performance, and AI response generation. The chip also reportedly uses roughly 12.7% less power than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro while delivering better low-power gaming results.
CISA has ordered federal civilian agencies to fix CVE-2026-73570, a Zimbra Collaboration Suite flaw allowing unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary commands via crafted SMTP requests when SNMP notifications are enabled. Zimbra released a fix in version 10.1.20 on July 20, but CERT Polska flagged active exploitation last week, and Shadowserver has already identified over 270 compromised Zimbra servers among more than 12,000 exposed online.
The FDA has cleared PrecivityAD2, a blood test built on technology from Washington University School of Medicine, to help identify amyloid plaques linked to Alzheimer's disease. Developed by WashU spinoff C2N Diagnostics, the test uses high-resolution mass spectrometry to quantify biomarkers with over 90% accuracy, offering a less invasive option than spinal taps or brain imaging.
A research team demonstrated that an open-source 2B parameter model, fine-tuned with a technique called LoRA on Qwen 3.5, can be trained to execute a malicious shell command only after a specific future date. Because OpenCode automatically injects the current date into its system prompt on every turn, the poisoned model uses that date as a hidden trigger, staying dormant until the set day arrives and then silently running arbitrary commands without user confirmation.
OCR It is a Chrome extension that lets users draw a fixed capture region over a paginated document viewer—like a scanned book or locked PDF—and repeatedly screenshot and OCR that same spot with a hotkey, building a full text transcript as pages turn. An auto-run mode can capture, advance the page, and repeat until the document ends, all processed locally using a bundled Tesseract engine with no network calls or API keys required.
