An RTX 5090 owner went to great lengths to protect his GPU power cable from bending and overheating, using a mesh side panel with a cutout.
The thing still lit up. He was using a Goghunters power supply and blames the supplied cable. His warranty claim is still ongoing.
He bought a Seasonic instead. A repair tech replaced the burned header for 600 RMB (~$90).

βΌοΈ Starlink's support page now puts Poland outside its European roaming region, "treated as Poland-only for home-country use." Existing Polish accounts lose unrestricted roaming August 17. Poland and Cyprus are the only EU states excluded.
Poland spends about $50 million a year keeping Ukraine's Starlink terminals online. After SpaceX cut Poland out of Starlink's European roaming region, foreign Minister RadosΕaw Sikorski started threatening to stop payments. SpaceX has given no reason.

βΌοΈ Apple is sending threat notification alerts to mercenary spyware targets, like those attacked with Pegasus. They now appear on the iPhone Lock Screen and in Settings.
Apple also sends an email from threat-notifications@email.apple.com, and you can verify it's real at http://account.apple.com.
Real ones never ask you to click or install anything. ;-)

βΌοΈ One of our Israeli followers received a real threat notification from Apple after being targeted by spyware. They told us their phone battery had been draining unusually fast.
Before this, they had been arrested by Israeli security services (Shin Bet) on suspicion of treason. The accusation turned out to be false, because their work had in fact been directed against Israel's enemies.

βοΈAnthropic is internally running a model more capable than Mythos 5, but says it has no plans to release it to the public.
Its August 14 risk report calls "Model 2" a "noticeable improvement" for internal work: coding, data generation and agentic tasks.
Anthropic also raised its misalignment risk rating from "very low" to "low", citing uncertainty after recent cyber-evaluation incidents.

βΌοΈ Email host http://cock.li's warrant canary is 5x past its own deadline. Its own rule is to never go 96 hours without a signed update.
A warrant canary works because a gag order can compel silence but not a lie. The provider states on a schedule that no secret order has arrived; when one does, it says nothing and simply stops updating.
The host has run since 2013 on one promise: email with no phone number, no ID, no verification. ~1M people took it. A 2021 FBI/DHS/CISA advisory noted Russian SVR personas were among them, "not exclusively."
Whoever it was protecting, it hasn't chirped in three weeks.

βΌοΈ A Polish Tesla modder has retrofitted an older Model 3 with newer Hardware 4 components, making it possible to run full FSD and giving the car enough compute for unsupervised self-driving in the future.
This is great news for people on Hardware 3, who Tesla promised unsupervised FSD but were later excluded because of hardware limitations. The mod was easy to install and the components didn't cost that much.
Elon Musk has promised to look into retrofitting HW3 customer's cars, this shows its possible.

βΌοΈ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.
They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.
Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.
