404 Media reported that surveillance firm Flock ran a webinar last year instructing law enforcement on monitoring the 'No Kings' anti-Trump protests, as well as ordinary gatherings like parades and fireworks shows. In the session, Flock's Caity Peak demonstrated FlockOS, a platform merging license plate readers, drones, gunshot sensors, 911 data and outside camera feeds into one dashboard, using Denver's protest response as a live example.
OpenAI has introduced a parental controls system that lets parents link their ChatGPT account to their teen's via an email or phone invitation sent through the Settings menu.

Opalite Health, a physician-led startup building real-time medical interpretation technology, is hiring its first go-to-market employee to lead enterprise sales into hospitals and health systems. The company, founded by veterans of Apple, Meta, and Codex, wants someone to build its sales motion from scratch, covering everything from outbound strategy to contracting.
New workplace research draws on the roles of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins to explain how recognition, gratitude, connection, and fun can boost team culture. The findings build on a 2019 Oxford University study that found employees were 13% more productive when happier, prompting companies to expand benefits and flexible work options.
A Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air on behalf of Amazon Air overran the runway while landing at Miami International Airport around 2 p.m. Sunday, catching fire and striking vehicles on a road beyond the airport grounds. The flight had originated from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico, and the incident caused multiple injuries and forced a temporary halt to airport operations while more than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded.
Atoms, the startup led by Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick, is reportedly gearing up for a hiring spree and acquisitions aimed at establishing itself as a major autonomous vehicle player, according to the Financial Times.

Apple's Find My network is a separate, crowdsourced Bluetooth feature from the standard Find My app, and it must be manually enabled to locate an iPhone that is offline, in Power Reserve mode, or powered down. Users can verify and adjust these settings under Settings > [Name] > Find My, and should also enable Send Last Location, Location Services, and Bluetooth to ensure tracking works. Disabling Control Center access from the lock screen can also stop thieves from quickly enabling airplane mode to cut a stolen phone off from the network.
Aardman Animations is marking its 50th anniversary by putting a large collection of production artifacts, including original puppets used in its films, up for sale in a worldwide auction.

NASA Lewis Research Center's Satellite Networks and Architectures Branch relies almost entirely on NetBSD to test proposed TCP protocol changes, including selective-acknowledgement retransmission and larger initial windows, for both satellite and terrestrial links. Separately, the KAME project used NetBSD as the base for implementing IPv6 and IPsec, with its stack merged into NetBSD-current in June 1999, while Germany's Institute for Media Communication built network access control tools on the OS.
Tesla began operating its first Cybercabs, which have no steering wheel or pedals, on Austin streets, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation just hours later. Only 45 Cybercabs are currently registered in Texas, and CEO Elon Musk was notably absent from the vehicle's public debut event, which drew a muted response from investors.
A software engineering essay, part of a series called 'Conquering Entropy,' examines how AI-generated code changes the trust relationships within engineering organizations—from trusting the ticket author and reviewing engineer to trusting test suites, CI/CD pipelines, and even AI-driven site reliability tools. The author argues that as AI agents make code generation faster and cheaper, teams need explicit accountability: whoever ships a PR should be responsible for fixing it if it breaks in production.
A new comparison lays out how modern iPads, especially M-series Pro and Air models, rival MacBooks in raw processing power and offer added flexibility through the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, and optional cellular connectivity.
