Critical Docker Desktop flaw lets attackers hijack Windows hosts

A critical vulnerability in Docker Desktop for Windows and macOS allows compromising the host by running a malicious container, even if the Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) protection is active. The security issue is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) now identified as CVE-2025-9074, and it received a critical severity rating of 9.3. “A malicious container running on Docker Desktop could access the Docker Engine and launch additional containers without requiring the Docker socket to be mou

Get an Extremely Close-Up Look at Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man Costume

Spider-Man 2 is widely considered one of the greatest comic book movies of all time—if not the greatest—and now you can own a piece of Hollywood history, or at least admire it in some very up-close new photos, thanks to an upcoming auction offering Tobey Maguire’s screen-used Spider-suit. As a bonus, the suit was also used in the much less-beloved Spider-Man 3, so it’s also got some genuine Hollywood notoriety attached to it, too. The suit is yet another jaw-dropping addition to Propstore’s upc

Nonprofit search engine Ecosia offers $0 for control of Chrome

Germany-based search engine and browser nonprofit Ecosia is the latest party to make an offer for Google's Chrome. Questions about Chrome's fate have been swirling since the news that the Department of Justice would push for Google to sell the browser after the ruling that the company's search engine business constituted a monopoly. Although Google is planning to appeal the decision, that hasn't stopped other big tech businesses from pitching themselves as potential owners of Chrome. Ecosia's p

Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it’s not a bad idea.

“It’s not absurd, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of Berlin-based nonprofit search engine Ecosia, says of his company’s unsolicited request to be granted a 10-year “stewardship” of Google’s Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor. His idea is most definitely absurd, but also clever. On Thursday, Ecosia announced it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome to Google and to U.S. Judge Amit Mehta. The judge is expected to rule this month on remedies to his 2024 landmark deci

Apple updates macOS Sequoia to version 15.6.1

In addition to releasing iOS 18.6.2, Apple has updated macOS Sequoia to version 15.6.1. The release is likely just a security update as all attention shifts to macOS Tahoe 26, due out as soon as next month. Apple released macOS 15.6, which focused on another bug fix, at the end of last month. Alongside macOS 15.6.1, Apple has issued two older macOS updates: macOS 14.7.8 and macOS 13.7.8. Apple supports older macOS versions, especially with security updates, for several years. Apple will like

MacOS Tahoe vs. Sequoia: Here's How Liquid Glass Redesigns Your Mac's Icons

Apple's Liquid Glass software design language is bringing a new look to your Mac. Some of it you'll likely spot right away -- like the revamped menu bar, which will have a completely clear background. But other design changes coming in MacOS 26 Tahoe will be more subtle, to the point where you might almost miss them entirely. But they're worth hunting down. MacOS Tahoe is more than a design update. Functional changes include a smarter Spotlight search, new continuity features, live translation

Nissan's redesigned Leaf EV starts at $29,990

We learned earlier this summer that Nissan was working on a redesign of its Leaf EV, but today the company shared some additional information about the vehicle. One of the most notable details is the price, which will be $29,990 for the Leaf S+ trim. That's a lower amount for the third-generation car than the original 2011 Leaf cost, continuing what has become a trend of Nissan offering electric vehicles for modest prices . The Leaf SV+ will retail for $34,230 and the Leaf Platinum+ will cost $3

A Super-Energetic Neutrino That Reached Earth in 2023 Has Been Confirmed to Be Real. But Where Did It Come From?

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented previously. Labelled KM3-230213A, the particle had a calculated energy of 220 petaelectronvolts (PeV), far greater than the 10 PeV of the previously most energetic neutrino. The finding generated a lot of excitement among physicists, but raised also many questions. Neutrinos are the most abundant par

macOS Tahoe 26 public beta 3 now available, here’s how to install it

As it usually does towards the final stretch of the beta season, Apple is moving to the weekly schedule of beta releases. Following Monday’s release of a new developer beta batch, the third round of public betas is rolling out now, including macOS 26 Tahoe beta 3. Here’s how to install it. First things first: should you install the beta? You probably know the drill: Betas can be unpredictably buggy. Even if something works on one release, it is not guaranteed to work on the next. Of course, y

Astronomers in Awe of Terrifying "Eye of Sauron" That's Pointed Straight at Earth

A bright galactic nucleus with a supermassive black hole that spews out cosmic radiation is pointing straight at us. Thankfully, the object, unimaginatively dubbed "PKS 1424+240," is located roughly 7.4 billion light-years away and likely won't pose much of a danger. But that hasn't stopped a group of excited astronomers from renaming it: the "Eye of Sauron," the symbol adopted by the Dark Lord in JRR Tolkien's epic "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. A new image of the object was recently unveiled,

I Can’t Stop Staring at This Official Half-Human-Torch Fantastic Four Costume

Disney has unveiled its selection of costumes for 2025, and they’re spectacularly silly and delightful. Leading the pack with incredible camp are The Fantastic Four: First Steps costumes. While Sue and Reed’s costumes play it safe, those for the Human Torch and the Thing offer better representations of their powers. Seriously, I cannot stop looking at the “flame on” mid-transformation look. It’s so ridiculous, I love it and sort of want to roller skate around in it. Check out the gallery below

Token growth indicates future AI spend per dev

Kilo just broke through the 1 trillion tokens a month barrier on OpenRouter for the first time. Each of the open source family of AI coding tools (Cline, Roo, Kilo) is growing rapidly this month. Part of this growth is caused by Cursor and Claude starting to throttle their users. We wrote about Cursor at the beginning of July and about Claude in the second half of July. Their throttling sent users to the open source family of AI coding tools causing the increases you see in the graphs above. C
