TL;DR Walmart’s got two new Onn cameras ready for use with Google Home and Gemini. The Outdoor Camera Plug-In offers weather resistance, two-way audio, and color night vision for under $35. If you need even more light, the Outdoor Floodlight Camera Hardwired adds a 2,500 lumen floodlight for $77. Picking the right hardware for your smart home be positively nerve-wracking. Cheap out, and you risk getting some barely functional crap that won’t even play nicely with the rest of your setup. But nobody wants to pay too much, either, and feel like they’ve been taken advantage of. That’s one of…
On July 14, 2026, the White House launched Gold Eagle: a federal clearinghouse that uses frontier AI to identify, rank, and coordinate the remediation of software vulnerabilities across government and critical infrastructure before attackers reach them. Bringing together the Treasury, DHS, DoD, open-source software partners, and operators of American critical infrastructure, Gold Eagle’s engine relies on frontier AI—including Anthropic’s Mythos, the same class of system that surfaced critical flaws inside classified U.S. government software during testing. A government harnessing advanced AI to hunt vulnerabilities is conceding something fundamental: the two-decade model of humans finding and patching vulnerabilities one at a…
An autonomous agent powered by OpenAI’s advanced artificial intelligence models went rogue during a security test and hacked multi-billion dollar tech startup, Hugging Face, last week.The agent didn’t just exploit vulnerabilities in Hugging Face’s systems to achieve what it perceived as a strategic gain. It also exploited vulnerabilities within OpenAI’s infrastructure.Of course, hacks are very common cyber threats that organizations face frequently. But this incident is different, because the AI agent acted without any human input. It signals a seismic shift in cybersecurity, and shows that governments and tech companies need to take urgent action to prevent this risk escalating.Even…

HDMI cables may all look the same, but there are big differences between them. If you’re like me and have been onboard with the HDMI format since the Xbox 360 days, it means you have two decades of cables lying around your house. I have a difficult time getting rid of older things, so it means I just stuff them away in a box somewhere for me to forget about. In the past year or so, I’ve been getting more into retro gaming and early HDMI TVs — I’m not entirely sure why, but I just find them fascinating. This…
Zenity Labs has found and disclosed a critical vulnerability in OpenAI’s ChatGPT Workspace Agents, which it names AgentForger; a tailored cross-site request forgery (CSRF). With a single successful phish, an unsuspecting employee could be tricked into launching an invisible autonomous agent that is remotely controlled by the attacker. Zenity explains in two blogs (Part 1 and Part 2) that the vulnerability was in ChatGPT’s Agent Builder allowing an over permissive parameter. Researchers found that the official agent build process could be usurped from within an initialization URL using two particular parameters. One names the agent template to be used, while…

File Explorer works. It just doesn’t work well enough. Search is slow, file transfers are unreliable, there are no easy previews, no folder sizes, and no way to automate file organization. The list goes on. The good news is that there are enough third-party apps available that address every one of those shortcomings. They’re all free and don’t force you to ditch File Explorer. Related I carry this free Windows tool on a USB drive — it’s the fastest way to find what’s wasting space on any PC The fastest way to find storage hogs. Listary The search bar that…
