Discs for games released before Jan 2028 can continue to be played on this console."

⚡️⛏️ UPDATE - Now only 41 blocks to go until BIP-110 mandatory signaling begins Keep an eye on the chain with the site below

⚡️💬 FLASH - The propaganda is so crazy that what we call “vacation” is just living…

⚡️🇺🇦 NEW - Zelensky: I spoke with President Biden in the first year of the war. I asked him very strongly to give me licenses for Patriot. Now we have agreed with Trump that he will provide the licenses. But imagine: if we had received them four years ago, we would already be making Patriots for everyone, believe me. And Europe—those who want and wanted to have Patriot anti-ballistic systems and missiles—would already have them. I am absolutely convinced of that.

⚡️🎙️ WATCH - David Sinclair: “AI helped us do 160 years of biology work in two months.” ROGAN: “What?!” SINCLAIR: “We’re looking for molecules, a single molecule that can replace this cocktail... You need a molecule to do three or four activities in the cell. Finding one activity is what pharmaceutical companies do. It takes hundreds of millions, if not billions, to make a drug.” “My little lab of 20 people and students are trying to make one drug do three or four different things. That’s beyond the reach of pharmaceutical experience, at least five years ago.” “This funnel is full of a trillion molecules, and we have to come down to one. We don’t look for a trillion molecules at the bench. That would take 160 or thousands of years... so we do it inside the computer.” “We just use a lot of compute, and we dock each of these molecules against the enzymes that we now know how they work, thanks to Google DeepMind solving the problem of how all our proteins look, 20,000 of them.” 1 trillion candidate molecules. Filtered to 200. Two months. “Next week, we’re testing these 200 against human cells, and we’ve also got AI helping us tell if the human cells go from 92 years old back to 20. We can tell that just by looking at them, thanks to AI.” Dr. David Sinclair is a Harvard geneticist and one of the world's leading longevity researchers. Fascinating to hear how he's using AI to compress 160 years of biology work into two months. What other decades of work is about to become two months?

⚡️🇺🇸 ICYMI - Acting AG Todd Blanche, has enough votes to get confirmed as Attorney General. Blanche was at the center of the Epstein Files coverup where a reported 3 million files are still not released and no one in the Epstein files has been prosecuted, except Gislaine Maxwell in 2021. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins are voting no. Early Friday, Senator Bill Cassidy said he is voting yes (despite pressure from his constituents to vote no), giving Blanche enough votes to be confirmed.

⚡️💬 TESTIMONIAL - Oomahq : I did my own investigation because I obviously don't trust them. What I found is that the external dependency of the firmware with the critical vulnerability hidden in it was written by CoinKite's CTO DocHex pretending to be someone else. (It's @Coinkite's CTO who made this error, not a junior C developer. It was the senior CTO pretending to be a junior while he talked to himself in issues and PRs.) All of the following can be verified:

⚡️🚨 NEW - ​Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr says changing Bitcoin's proof-of-work is "the only option" if BIP 110 fails. Critics warn if six mining pools can block the proposal, Bitcoin's decentralization is "effectively lost." Meanwhile, Bitcoin briefly topped $65,340, its highest since July 27, before pulling back near $65,000.

⚡️💬 NEW - Kim Dotcom: "Signal is not secure because it runs on iOS which has a lot of backdoors. Anything you run on Apple devices is not secure."

⚡️🤖 TECH - New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

⚡️🎮️ GAMING - A new shooter game is creating a buzz online with a completely crazy concept: it pays players with real money 💰 $10 earned per hour of play. 🎯 $1 earned for each kill. 💀 But there’s a huge catch: every time your character dies, you have to pay $1 to respawn in the game...

⚡️💻️ NEW - Microsoft has confirmed it automatically installed a new OneDrive Photos app on some Windows 11 PCs. The app includes AI-powered features, such as a “People” feature that groups photos by the people in them. Microsoft says the facial grouping feature is off by default and photos are not used to train its AI models. Users are not happy the app was installed automatically and cannot be uninstalled separately, removing it also removes OneDrive.

⚡️🚨 UPDATE - The Coldcard hack could now exceed 130 MILLION dollars in Bitcoin losses. According to the latest estimates from Galaxy Research, 1,719 BTC are now linked with a high degree of certainty to the exploitation of the vulnerability. And the total could still rise: more than 250 victims have reportedly filed claims, and if the cases still under review are confirmed, the total could exceed 2,300 BTC—more than $130 million.

⚡️☢ NEW - This developer generates his Bitcoin keys using… the radioactive decay of a smoke detector. His system takes advantage of a fundamental property of quantum physics: the exact moment when a radioactive nucleus decays is inherently unpredictable. By detecting the events produced by a radioactive source and then converting their time intervals into digital data, it is possible to obtain a source of physical entropy that can be used to generate random numbers. This idea is particularly interesting for Bitcoin, as the security of a private key depends directly on the quality of the randomness used during its creation. A key generated with a predictable generator can theoretically be reconstructed by an attacker, even if Bitcoin’s cryptography itself remains intact.

⚡️🤖 NEW - MetaMask has just launched the “Wallet Agent.” An AI agent with a private key could already sign, swap, make transactions, and interact with protocols. What this changes is key management, security, and—most importantly—control over what the agent is allowed to do and what it isn’t You can set specific limits for it: which protocols it can access (whitelist), maximum amounts, and on which chains. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is required for certain transactions. The security infrastructure is managed by Cubist (a company specializing in secure private key management) Basically, before, you had to know what you were doing to give a wallet to an agent. Now it’s a packaged solution with built-in safeguards, available on Ethereum, Base, Arb, Hyperliquid, and about ten other ERC20 chains. The real question now is: can we really trust this kind of tool when we’re putting money into it? The other question I’m asking myself is: can an AI agent be hacked and receive other instructions from the hacker? Especially since the hacker will likely be an AI as well.

⚡️🇺🇦 WTF - 19-year-old Ukrainian guy grabs onto his girlfriend and begs her not to let him go. “Vera, please don’t let me go” While the Ukrainian military is kicking, beating and pepper spraying him… some gets onto his girl as well. Horrible.

⚡️🎙️ NEW - FULL VIDEO: Kim Dotcom knows what it’s like to be spied on. He’s a hacker, and therefore an expert on digital surveillance. He watched our new docuseries on internet privacy, so we invited him to talk to us. What followed was very dark.

⚡️🎙️ NEW - Tucker Carlson sits for an interview with Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden says he likes Rep. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene

⚡️🤖 NEW - Google Assistant is officially being replaced by Gemini. Starting September 4, 2026, Google will begin removing Google Assistant from Android phones and replacing it with Gemini. The rollout will happen over several weeks, and once your device switches to Gemini, you won’t be able to go back to Google Assistant.

⚡️🤡 NEW - A Google Play user says he purchased Lord of the Rings Extended Trilogy suddenly disappeared from their library after Google removed it from its catalog. According to screenshots shared by the user, Google Support confirmed the films were no longer available and said they couldn’t issue a refund because the purchase was made in 2022, which is outside the company’s standard 120-day refund window. “I bought these in 2022, all of a sudden they aren’t available and there is no possibility of a refund or gift card. Hardly seems fair.”
