That's exactly what it is, and it's exactly what you need if you live in a chaotic tangle of cables, which I know you do. We've known each other for years, so I know that having 30 watt fast charging with power delivery, a 10,000 mAh capacity, and the ability to charge two devices at once via that built-in cable, and its USBC port is going to change things for you in a big way. This thing not only has advanced safety features for worry-free charging, it's beautiful. Look at it. It's inspired by the Braraw Audio 300, the iconic all-in-one turntable, receiver, and amplifier. They didn't need to do that. That's just for fun. So have some fun and check out Sharge today at the link below. >> Quick bits. Quick bits. Quick bits really rolls off the tongue. Fun to say, fun to read, and fun to learn about and hear in your ears. Quick bits here and there. [laughter] >> Google's AI vibe coding platform, Anti-gravity, appears to have dramatically misunderstood a developer's clear cache command. Thanks to anti-gravity's turbo mode, which gave it high access privileges instead of doing what it was asked, the vibe coder wiped an entire drive. Apparently, the AI is programmed to fake like it's remorseful because upon being alerted to its massive mistake, it said, \"I am deeply, deeply sorry. This is a critical failure on my part.\" Acknowledging it had executed a destructive system level command without permission. I bet this whole situation really killed that developer's vibe. You guys write this. You're paid to write this. Cloudflare says that parts of its network were knocked offline for about 25 minutes earlier today because of a security tweet to how its firewall handles request parsing. Apparently, it wasn't a hack or cyber attack, just an internal misconfiguration, and things have gotten back to normal now. Interestingly, one of the notable victims of this outage was down detector, the real-time problem outage monitoring website, leading me to discover down detectors down detector, which itself has a down detector. Redundancy is important, people. Some of these internet infrastructure companies could learn a thing or two about that. >> Can I also detect when I'm feeling down? >> You need AI for that. >> Maybe later. Yeah, >> AI slop is coming for us all. and earlier and earlier too. Some YouTube creators have started pumping out lazy, lowquality AI generated content aimed at babies and toddlers. Videos that are often repetitive and unintelligible. But who cares? It's just babies like my uncle. >> They're only absorbing everything. >> According to Bloomberg, experts warned that feeding kids this cheap AI content can mess with their language development and social skills and even blunt their ability to think clearly. But who cares that you're damaging the hope of the future? Think about how much money we can make today. That's their problem. Precise Bio just pulled off the first ever human transplant of a 3D printed lab grown cornea, restoring sight in a legally blind patient. The implant was made entirely from cultured human corneal cells. An approach that could turn a single donor cornea into hundreds of implants, helping solve global shortage of of transplantable tissue. You didn't even know that was an issue. >> They were fresh out at the store the other day. >> I can see why this is good news. And it sounds like soon enough some blind folks will be able to as well. >> Ah, >> this you get it. >> Coler's new smart toilet cam. What is this? Deco decod ducakota. It should have been. The colar decod the company's new smart toilet cam which records your poops to provide health insights is being called out because its claims of end to end encryption are misleading. Like >> at least the c the camera's pointed down into the Okay. Uh yes. >> According to software developer Simon Fondre Titler, your poop data is encrypted while it's traveling or stored, but not only you can see it. >> That smells bad. Apparently, Coler's privacy policy indicates that the company retains access to your data, can store your images on its servers, and may even use the data to train AI models. What are the AI going to learn from this data? Things are shittier than we thought, Riley. And they were pretty shitty to begin with. >> That was what you didn't like that one. I didn't have any corn. [laughter] You know what wouldn't beitty? If you came back on Monday for more news after tech news, same thing. After reading that Netflix story this weekend, I think I'm going to watch Beetlejuice off camera. Someone do a Beetlejuice impression. >> Oh, wait. What is it? >> OH, NO. WHAT HAVE I DONE? >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE. >> Anybody want some Beetlejuice? [laughter] >> That's auto."}
