A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a

Geedge and MESA leak: Analyzing the great firewall’s largest document leak

1. Introduction The Great Firewall of China (GFW) experienced the largest leak of internal documents in its history on Thursday September 11, 2025. Over 500 GB of source code, work logs, and internal communication records were leaked, revealing details of the GFW’s research, development, and operations.

DOJ and states ask court to compel Apple to hand over documents in antitrust case

Apple is being accused of dragging its feet to produce important documents related to its antitrust case. Here are the details. A bit of background The DOJ brought its case against Apple in 2024, accusing it of antitrust behavior regarding multiple app categories, such as super apps, messaging apps, and cloud streaming gaming, as well as related to third-party smartwatches and third-party digital wallets. Apple, for its part, has attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, and as recently as last July,

MAGA Congressman Explains Trump’s Signature in Epstein Birthday Book by Floating Autopen Conspiracy

A Congressional document dump of Jeffrey Epstein files on Monday has created a certifiable public relations nightmare for the Trump administration, and its allies are currently scrambling for some sort of explanation as to why what looks a whole helluva lot like the President’s signature would be found on an alleged birthday letter included in the trove. On Tuesday, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) offered up the latest excuse: some sort of conspiracy involving a signing machine called an autopen

Hackers hide behind Tor in exposed Docker API breaches

A threat actor targeting exposed Docker APIs has updated its malicious tooling with more dangerous functionality that could lay the foundation for a complex botnet. The activity was first reported in June by cybersecurity company Trend Micro. whose researchers analyzed scripts and malicious code that dropped a cryptominer and relied on the Tor network to hide their identity. Akamai researchers discovered new tooling that does not deploy a miner but a more complex payload that can block access

Massive Leak Shows How a Chinese Company Is Exporting the Great Firewall to the World

A leak of more than 100,000 documents shows that a little-known Chinese company has been quietly selling censorship systems seemingly modeled on the Great Firewall to governments around the world. Geedge Networks, a company founded in 2018 that counts the “father” of China’s massive censorship infrastructure as one of its investors, styles itself as a network-monitoring provider, offering business-grade cybersecurity tools to “gain comprehensive visibility and minimize security risks” for its c

Meta reportedly suppressed research about how dangerous its VR headsets are for kids

Meta allegedly suppressed research that suggested kids were exposed to certain dangers when using its VR headsets, according to a report by The Washington Post . Current and former employees have presented documents to Congress that describe incidents in which children were groomed by adult predators in VR, but allege that internal reports were edited to omit the worst of these offenses. Meta has denied these allegations. Two of these researchers claim they met with a German family in which a c

I ditched Docker for Podman

Beginnings I'm old enough to remember when Vagrant looked like a promised land where every development environment would look the same. Differences between language versions, as well as some unusual OS version differences, resulted in a few days of unproductive debugging of your development environment. I've had similar excitement when I started my first Docker Swarm (who uses that these days?!) - it felt revolutionary. Docker wasn't just a tool - it fundamentally changed how we thought about a

This is my new favorite way to run Windows apps on my Linux PC - how it works

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Winboat is a new technology to run Windows apps on Linux. The app is currently in beta, but shows real promise. If the developers can deliver, this will be a game changer. For the longest time, Wine was the only option for running Windows apps on Linux. Then came PlayOnLinux, Steam, Proton, and several others. Many of those tools are great, but they still require users to

This Gemini upgrade will soon make Google Docs even more useful on Android (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Docs on the web recently received a new feature that lets users listen to their documents with Gemini.

Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressure

Generally, AI chatbots are not supposed to do things like call you names or tell you how to make controlled substances. But, just like a person, with the right psychological tactics, it seems like at least some LLMs can be convinced to break their own rules. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania deployed tactics described by psychology professor Robert Cialdini in Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion to convince OpenAI’s GPT-4o Mini to complete requests it would normally refuse.

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

Running our Docker registry on-prem with Harbor

As of early 2025, we’re deploying all of our applications with Kamal using Docker as our containerization platform. The container registry that holds our app images is one of the most integral pieces of our deployment pipeline. Like many organizations, we’d been using external container registries for years. Our ecosystem was tightly coupled to both Dockerhub and Amazon’s Elastic Container Registry. However, as part of our cloud exit and kamalization journey, several issues started emerging:

Leak suggests new Philips Hue lights will have direct Matter support

There’s already been a number of leaks of upcoming Philips Hue products that are expected to be announced next week ahead of IFA. But one thing that hasn’t been mentioned was support for Matter-over-Thread. While there’s no confirmation that support is coming, there’s compelling evidence to suggest it might be.

The 11 Best Greens Powders, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I took a deep dive on my hunt for the best greens powders, speaking with dietitians and trying popular brands to uncover whether or not they're worth the money. The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them. Spoiler alert: Greens powders aren’t harmful, ultimately, but the dietitians I spoke to agreed that

Judge unhappy with FCC’s “vague and uninformative” response to DOGE lawsuit

A judge yesterday chided the Federal Communications Commission for its "vague and uninformative" response to a DOGE-related lawsuit and ordered the commission to produce documents sought under the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA). The FCC was sued by journalist Nina Burleigh and Frequency Forward, a group that says it is investigating how Elon Musk's influence in government "is creating unmanageable conflicts of interest within the FCC." Burleigh and Frequency Forward alleged in an April 24 co
