Discord is about to put your public messages on Google
Discord will start making messages from Discoverable public servers searchable on Google and other search engines from mid-December.
The feature is ON by default in most regions, but you can opt out:
User Settings → Data & Privacy → turn off “Show my message content from Discoverable channels on web pages.”
In the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Korea, it will be OFF by default.
Private servers, DMs and group DMs are not included. Usernames and avatars won’t appear alongside indexed messages.

🇲🇽 A MEXICAN TEENAGER BUILT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER THAT USES SOUND INSTEAD OF WATER OR CHEMICALS
A student created “Vortex Tech,” a portable prototype that uses low-frequency sound waves around 30 Hz to disrupt the air feeding small flames.
In tests, it put out small fires in roughly 5 to 8 seconds.
She built it with her adviser and uncle after getting inspired by a sonic-cannon concept.
It’s still an experimental prototype for small fires, but a teenager from Mexico turned bass into a fire extinguisher 😮

We got Microsoft Authenticator to hand over account tokens to a fake Teams app.
The app needed zero Android permissions. It just claimed to be Teams, and Authenticator never checked who was actually asking.
The result: full delegated access to mailbox, files, and calendar through Microsoft Graph.
Full write-up by @ofekdavidlevin with code and PoC: enclave.ai/blog/authmask-we-…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Microsoft patched this (CVE-2026-80097) in Authenticator v6.2606.4246+. It requires a malicious app already on the device. No exploitation reported at advisory time. Update via Google Play.

Security called me at 6:12 AM today.
"Patch every PHP server immediately."
I asked what happened.
"Two critical vulnerabilities. Remote code execution. No authentication required."
Cool.
How many PHP servers do we have?
According to inventory: 12
According to reality:
Nobody knows.
We found one running WordPress.
Three running old internal tools.
One under someone's desk.
Two inside vendor appliances.
A forgotten employee directory from 2016.
And a server named:
PHP-OLD-DO-NOT-TOUCH
Naturally, that one runs payroll exports.
Then we found a PHP 5.6 box.
I asked who owned it.
The documentation said:
BRIAN.
Brian left in 2019.
We called Brian.
He said:
"Oh wow, that's still running?"
Excellent.
By 8 AM, leadership joined the incident call.
CEO:
"Can hackers actually get in?"
Security:
"Potentially yes."
CEO:
"Without a password?"
Security:
"Yes."
CEO:
"Then why do WE need passwords?"
Not the lesson.
Finance asked if we could wait until the weekend to patch because downtime affects revenue.
Security explained that the alternative was letting strangers execute code on our servers.
Finance asked for a cost comparison.
At 9:17, someone suggested temporarily taking the vulnerable websites offline.
Marketing refused.
"Our campaign is live."
So for the next hour, the company officially decided maintaining a landing page for 20% off webinar registration was more important than preventing remote server takeover.
We finally patched everything we could find.
Then our scanner discovered another PHP server.
Hostname:
TEMP-PHP-2014
Uptime:
4,512 days.
Nobody knows what it does.
Nobody owns it.
Nobody can shut it down.
But every time we block network access, the warehouse stops printing shipping labels.
Security has classified it as critical infrastructure.
It is running PHP 5.4.
The vulnerability has existed longer than half our employees.
The emergency patch took four hours.
Finding out what PHP actually runs took eleven.
The internet isn't held together with code.
It's held together with servers everyone is afraid to turn off.

Cyberpunk 2077 rodando nativamente em um iPhone 17 Pro Max!
Está sendo usada uma camada de tradução que permitirá que todos os jogos nativos do MacOS rodem em iPhones e iPads.
Não será necessário o JIT, quando estiver disponível vc vai precisar de duas cópias legais dos games para colocar na pasta documentos.
Game está rodando em 900p, com gráficos no média/alto. Vídeo por Thisisyouracc0un-t

It takes longer to make it through the Windows first-boot obstacle course of offers and telemetry tricks than it does to install Omarchy from scratch!!
It had already taken me 20+ minutes on a BRAND NEW machine to get to this. The enshittification is off the scales!

Your TV might be one of 216,000,000 LG smart TVs sold worldwide.
Researchers rooted one and pulled plain text transcripts of what people said in the room.
It kept recording while the screen looked off.
If your TV can do that, it’s time to look at everything else on your desk👇🏻

BREAKING: Microsoft has allegedly been breached. We have analysed the samples from ExfilSquad's alleged Microsoft breach.
ExfilSquad launched on July 26, 2026, with roughly 15 victim claims in a single day, Microsoft among them. Researchers read the batch as more likely fabricated than real, largely because no samples accompanied any listing.
A 4,000-row sample archive dated July 27 changes the evidentiary picture. The rows carry Dataverse OData annotations, wide field schemas and internally consistent identifiers that would be hard to fake at volume, but they seem to come from a partner-facing portal, an apparent pre-production tenant and a facilities-management environment, not from Microsoft's corporate core.
Let's wait and see what Microsoft's says.
