Nature's Futures section has published a short science-fiction story titled 'The buck stops with me,' in which a narrator returns home to find notes apparently written by their future self urging a trip to a bar for 'darts' and warnings about disrupting causality. The narrator exchanges handwritten notes with this future self through hidden locations around the apartment, debating whether the messages are real time travel, a prank, or a hallucination.

Cloudflare fixed a vulnerability in its Containers and Sandboxes service that let Workers Paid customers recover leftover data from other customers' containers on the same physical host. The flaw stemmed from a shared storage pool that reused 64 KiB disk blocks without zeroing them, leaving up to 60 KiB of previous customer data readable when a new customer wrote only 4 KiB to that space. Security researcher Oren Yomtov of Accomplish reported the issue via HackerOne on September 4, and testing found recoverable data—including SQLite databases, .env files, and credential files—on 18 of 24 container placements checked.

Google has expanded Gemini in Chrome so it can process video and audio content from websites outside YouTube, letting users get key takeaways and ask questions about that media. Unlike YouTube, where Gemini reads transcripts instantly, non-YouTube content must be played through fully before Gemini can analyze it. Google also added quiz generation from notes, webpages, or YouTube videos, plus a feature that preserves scroll position and partially filled forms when tabs are sent between devices.
