The web does not need gatekeepers: Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch

Do you register with Google, Amazon or Microsoft to use the web? Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch sounds like safety but it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They’ve built an allowlist for the open web and told builders to apply for permission. That’s not how the internet works. An application form is not a standard. Yes, identity for agents is a real problem. But Cloudflare is solving it like a border checkpoint. Get on their list or get treated like a trespasser. That’s vendor approval not

Why AI Isn't Ready to Be a Real Coder

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the coding sphere, with AI coding tools completing source code, correcting syntax errors, creating inline documentation, and understanding and answering questions about a codebase. As the technology advances beyond automating programming tasks, the idea of full autonomy looms large. Is AI ready to be a real coder? A new paper says not yet—and maps out exactly why. Researchers from Cornell University, MIT CSAIL, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley hi

Elon Musk Hopes to Wriggle His Way Out of Allegations He Duped Twitter Investors

Elon Musk’s lawyers are seeking to get a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the Tesla CEO and X owner tossed out. The case, filed right before President Donald Trump took office this year, centers on Musk’s purchases of Twitter stock before his eventual takeover of the social network in 2022. The SEC alleges that Musk cheated investors by quietly amassing more than a 5% stake in Twitter without disclosing it within the regulated time frame. By law, once someo

Usual ‘Gremlins’ Rules Don’t Apply With This Precious Lego Gizmo

It’s not easy to make Lego bricks cute. As fun as they can be, there’s no getting away from the fact that they’re hard, plastic pieces. And yet, the team there has somehow done the impossible. They’ve created an official set from the 1984 classic Gremlins of the adorable Gizmo and, in the process, made Lego absolutely precious. Gizmo, which was a Lego Ideas contest winner last year, is now available for pre-order for Lego Insiders with a general on-sale date of October 1. And it truly is an ado

How do I get into the Game Industry – by Garry's Mod creator

Every now and then someone tells me that their child loves video games and wants to get into the game industry, then asks me how they do it. So here's a blog that I can paste a link to. I don't know I've got to say first of all that I don't know if I ever got into the game industry. It's my main job but I don't know how a real game studio works. I've never worked in a proper game studio. So if you want to work on FIFA or GTA, I have no idea how you get there, sorry. But if you just want

Microsoft and Uber alum raises $3M for YC-backed Munify, a neobank for the Egyptian diaspora

Khalid Ashmawy remembers the first time he wired money home while studying in Europe. He had just received his monthly stipend as a master’s student in Stuttgart and wanted to send part of it back to his family in Cairo. It was usually a slow and expensive process, he recalled. A $400 wire transfer, for instance, could cost $40 in fees and take three business days to arrive. Years later, while working at Microsoft and Uber in the U.S., and even after founding a startup, that experience hadn’t

Microsoft says recent Windows update didn't kill your SSD

Microsoft has found no link between the August 2025 KB5063878 security update and customer reports of failure and data corruption issues affecting solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). Redmond first told BleepingComputer last week that it is aware of users reporting SSD failures after installing this month's Windows 11 24H2 security update.

Intel's "Clearwater Forest" Xeon 7 E-Core CPU Will Be a Beast

With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. First, AMD is selling some big, fat X86 CPUs compared to Intel. It also means that Intel, despite all of its many woes, is getting nearly 60 percent of revenues and north of 72 percent of shipments for X86 server CPU here in 2025. No, that is not the share Intel is used to, but that’s life sometimes. And with the roll

‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the Sphere Has a Shocking 2-Second Cameo: David Zaslav

The Sphere’s version of The Wizard of Oz has already drawn controversy over its use of AI. Now we know another unsettling element has been introduced into the Hollywood classic: a likeness of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and president David Zaslav. No, really: the exec, along with the Sphere’s executive chairman and CEO, James Dolan, will be superimposed on the faces of uncredited background characters in what are apparently blink-and-you’ll-miss-them appearances. The stunt is to celebrate the mo
