NIST has responded to a surge in vulnerability disclosures by reclassifying about 30,000 CVEs published before March 2026 as 'Not Scheduled,' effectively deprioritizing their enrichment. The move comes as Action1's 2026 report shows disclosed vulnerabilities in enterprise software jumped 92% in 2025, with critical and high-severity flaws each up 103% and remote-code-execution bugs up 128%.
A file named nvngx_dlssnr.dll was found inside NBA 2K27's early access build, revealing pieces of Nvidia's unreleased DLSS 5 neural rendering system. A RenoDX modder used the library to enable DLSS 5-style effects on character models in Control, exposing seven adjustable style and intensity sliders.
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must withdraw its designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, finding the label was retaliation rather than a genuine security concern. The dispute arose after talks broke down between Anthropic and the Pentagon over limits on using its AI in autonomous weapons and surveillance, prompting Anthropic to sue in March.
Google has quietly updated its developer documentation to reveal that just seven Android phones currently support Gemini Nano 4: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra. These are the only devices officially equipped to run Google's latest on-device Gemini Intelligence features.
Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) has proposed a major residential rate reduction plan expected to save Hoosier customers roughly $59 million in electric bills through 2027, or about $100 annually for a typical household. The utility also intends to freeze rates for three years, crediting rising demand from data centers and other large customers for boosting revenue enough to offset costs. The proposal now awaits approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, with a decision anticipated by June 2027.
New leaks attributed to leaker OnLeaks reveal that Samsung's standard Galaxy S27 will carry over the same flat display, rounded corners, and raised rear camera island seen on the Galaxy S26, with dimensions differing by only fractions of a millimeter. This comes shortly after separate renders suggested the Galaxy S27 Ultra may adopt a horizontal, iPhone-style camera plateau instead of Samsung's traditional vertical layout.
Shadowserver reports over 8,300 internet-facing Gitea instances remain unpatched against CVE-2026-60004, a critical code injection bug already being exploited in the wild. The flaw lets an attacker with repository write access run arbitrary shell commands as the Gitea service account, and since Gitea allows open self-registration by default, unauthenticated users can create an account and repository to gain that access. Gitea patched the issue in version 1.27.1 on July 27, and CISA has added it to its known exploited vulnerabilities list, giving federal agencies just three days to remediate.
According to Reuters, Meta executives led by Mark Zuckerberg pursued an internal initiative called Project Organization Transformation aimed at cutting entire teams by as much as 60 percent and replacing workers with AI agents. That plan followed May's layoffs of nearly 8,000 employees and was ultimately abandoned after a second wave of cuts was called off amid backlash, lawsuits, and low morale.
Seven U.S. states have enacted extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws that shift the cost and responsibility for packaging waste onto manufacturers, while more than a dozen other states are weighing similar measures.

It's currently rolling out in Germany, India, Poland, the UK, and South Korea, with a US release expected soon.
Nvidia has confirmed that October 2026 will bring the last Game Ready driver built for Windows 10, with the following November release skipping the OS entirely. After that, Nvidia will only issue quarterly security patches for Windows 10 systems through October 2029, rather than the frequent performance and compatibility updates tied to new game launches.
