OpenAI is reportedly shipping a Jony Ive-designed device for the home, the clearest sign yet that the chatbot wants out of the browser tab and onto your counter. Meanwhile the browser version keeps creeping further into your life: ChatGPT's new Computer History feature logs your clicks and keystrokes, and Google now lets users strip the visible watermark off its AI-generated images and video, making the fakes harder to spot at the source.

Security had a rough day. A vulnerability giving attackers full control of Macs is being exploited in the wild right now, Chinese gaming-hotel thieves were caught swapping customers' RTX 5080s for RTX 3060s and pocketing the difference until a blackout gave them away, and the White House just authorized private companies to launch retaliatory "hack-back" cyberattacks against foreign cybercrime groups, a real shift in how the US handles offensive cyber operations.

On the hardware fringe: the world's largest all-electric plane completed its maiden flight, a maker compressed a 2.9MB song 1000x and printed it as eight QR codes that a neural net can play back, and sound-powered 3D-printed "microflier" drones are flying with no batteries at all. Ukraine, for its part, built a $48,000 long-range attack drone after quietly photographing a Chinese parts factory, and is now churning out 6,000 of them a year.
