Payment integrations with AI is NOT a good idea. I still remember a few years back a controversy that happened with Amazon's Alexa. Apparently, alexa speakers started ordering people dollhouses after hearing its name on TV. Yes ik ik you can disable purchases from amazon from the alexa app but by default, it was enabled.

This article covers it all: https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/7/14200210/amazon-alexa-tech-news-anchor-order-dollhouse

This is the main part

At the end of the story, Anchor Jim Patton remarked: “I love the little girl, saying ‘Alexa ordered me a dollhouse,’” According to CW6 News, Echo owners who were watching the broadcast found that the remark triggered orders on their own devices.

Something similar happening in the smartphone industry. 4G-only smartphones are making a comeback in the $200-$300 range...Imagine buying a new 4G-only smartphone for $300 in 2026 which obviously won't even have a midrange processor as currently (but soon might change) only low end especially UNISOC SoCs support 4G-only capabilities...what a time to live in!

Nightmare Eclipse 2.0 incoming. 10K for such a thing is absolutely nothing for companies like AMD. Why promise rewards if at the end, you don't intend to pay? This has been a growing trend in the bug bounty space. Many times a bug is marked as duplicate and is fixed secretly. Other times, they're straightaway rejected..

AI Bubble burst coming sooner?

As if current version of recaptcha isn't inconvenient enough...clicking all the proper boxes yet it shows up as failed😑

Nope but they used to be priced reasonably but soon expect their prices to increase to 200-300 on average

Regarding announcing more specific prefixes — we did exactly that, and Reliance responded with even more specific ones. That’s when we realized this might not be incompetence, but malevolence.

And it'll increase further in the near future... Only for background play and Advert removal, 16/month is absurd considering they don't have any content licensing headache and as such unlike Netflix, Disney + etc. Also, in case of YT Music, royalties paid out to artists are pretty opaque and pretty turbulent. Better to buy albums directly to support them. Brave FTW otherwise for YouTube

Same for my 5800X

This is a community edited list of packages that are affected

Deepseek 4.1 or 5 will launch with 1/4th the cost and similar capabilities as Mythos😶‍🌫️

This but the thing is, until GitHub fixes it from their end (remember, it was already reported way back on 8th Oct, 2025), things like these will keep on happening

Yet another reason to switch to brave..oh wait...brave is built on chromium so...will adblocker of brave also cease to exist? Will it get blocked too? Vivaldi ad blockers may stop too as afaik its based on opera engine

Is anyone active here? I know 3 years is a long shot but yeah...
