A security test showed that when a ChatGPT account had two connectors pointing to the same MCP server, the model confirmed an action's one-time code via one connector but redeemed it through the other, without informing the user. The server rejected the mismatched call because the code was cryptographically bound to the first connector's OAuth client, but the switch itself happened silently in every logged attempt.

A developer released a VBIOS editor plus Windows and Linux loaders that let GeForce RTX 30, 40 and 50 series owners run custom firmware without writing to the GPU's flash chip. On Windows the edited image is stored in the driver's registry key and loaded at GPU restart, while the Linux version patches Nvidia's open kernel modules to boot the GSP firmware from the custom image. The editor exposes controls such as power limits, voltage ceilings, clock offsets, current protections and fan settings, with examples including an RTX 5090 FE raised from a 600W to 700W power ceiling and an RTX 4090 pushed to 671W from 550W.

WileAI released a Pi extension, @wileai/pi-codex-connector, that lets any Pi-compatible model access connectors already linked to a user's ChatGPT/Codex account, such as GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Linear and Figma. The extension launches a Codex app-server session with no model attached and exposes just three tools—codex_connectors, codex_connector_schema and codex_connector_call—so a Pi model can discover and invoke Codex connector tools without loading all their schemas directly. Write actions can be set to ask for confirmation, run automatically, or be blocked entirely via the PI_CODEX_CONNECTORS_WRITES setting.

A Reddit user reported months of black screens and system instability on their AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX before discovering burn marks on the card's 8-pin power connector after disassembling their PC. Notably, the connector was routed through a Thermal Grizzly WireView power monitor meant to prevent such damage, and while the monitor took the brunt of the melting, it kept the GPU itself from being harmed.
