▸ • Fox drops $22 billion to acquire Roku, merging live TV with a massive streaming footprint.
▸ • OpenRouter launches the Fusion API, dynamically routing queries to recreate banned frontier models at half the cost.
▸ • Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg declares a 'Summer of Bliss,' pausing all vulnerability reports for the month of July.
Fox is buying Roku outright for $160 per share. The deal merges Fox's live content and Tubi with Roku's 100M+ household reach, proving that the future of TV is just cable with extra steps.
Honor just dropped the Magic V6, claiming three 'firsts' for foldables: thinnest profile, biggest battery, and best water resistance. The crease isn't quite invisible yet, but it's getting dangerously close to actual magic.
Following Australia's lead, the UK government announced a total social media ban for children under 16. It takes effect early next year, giving teens just enough time to figure out how to use a VPN.
Orbio just secured a Series A led by Dawn Capital to automate hiring and onboarding for frontline workers. Because if there's one thing HR needs, it's less human interaction.
While tens of thousands of tech workers are being shown the door, a small cohort of AI insiders is getting unfathomably wealthy. It's a stark contrast that's creating serious tension in the industry, and the vibes are getting increasingly combustible.
Stratechery dives into how Anthropic is positioning its safety-first approach. It turns out that playing the 'we won't destroy the world' card isn't just a moral high ground—it's a highly effective enterprise sales strategy.
A nostalgic and slightly aggressive look at how tech culture shifted. We went from passionate hobbyists building things for fun to hyper-optimized hustle bros chasing the next unicorn valuation.
With Anthropic's top models pulled due to export controls, OpenRouter got creative. Their new compound model API fans prompts out to multiple models simultaneously and synthesizes the responses, matching frontier performance at half the cost.
Maintainer Daniel Stenberg is taking a well-deserved break. For the entire month of July, the curl project will simply ignore all security vulnerability reports. Hackers, please schedule your exploits for August.
Apple finally shipped local multimodal image analysis in the Xcode 27 beta. Developers can now build hybrid AI pipelines in Swift, routing simple tasks on-device and escalating complex reasoning to the cloud without maintaining a massive C++ bridge.
In a bizarre turn of events, Belgian politicians are apparently choosing to risk treason charges rather than trust their own engineers. Sometimes the political theater writes itself.
Did an 11th-century monk named Eilmer of Malmesbury spot Halley's comet twice while attempting early aviation? Historians think he might have seen two different comets, but we prefer the narrative of a time-traveling base jumper.
