New: there is a major vulnerability with Apple’s Hide My Email feature that lets attackers discover peoples’ real emails. Verified it works on my own email. We’re not disclosing how it works because Apple has not fixed it. But Apple has known for more than a year www.404media.co/apple-hide-m...

“A vulnerability in Apple’s ‘Hide My Email’ tool lets almost anyone discover a person’s real email address that is supposed to be hidden by the feature, and Apple has failed to fix it for more than a year…”

there are so many basic functionality and stability upgrades that riverside could make that would be genuinely useful but instead it launches a “AI turns your podcast into a newsletter with a CMS” feature that is going to be beyond useless techcrunch.com/2026/06/30/p...

this is really funny research from a microsoft ai guy who is basically like: the arguments being made to suggest LLMs are sentient can be made regarding literally anything www.404media.co/if-ai-is-sen...

Known cases of cops using Flock to stalk people are almost certainly vastly underreported because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP53...

New: Salesforce's internal AI leaderboard has teams competing for little trophies. The dashboards we've seen also track each team's use of specific AI tools.

Also on today's pod, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social talks about cops abusing Flock cameras to stalk their former and current partners and how it takes months to catch the abuse. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP53...

“That pitch right there has been the difference” Kevin Brown says about a fastball down the middle. Is thrilling analytics that the key to beating the orioles is throwing fastballs

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is" www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

I get so many emails like this. Actual stakes: a guy might spend €20

absolutely crazy: An Amazon / Rivian software update automatically turns off Amazon drivers' AC after 30 seconds under conditions that are very common during delivery shifts: www.404media.co/software-upd...

A new software update is turning of the AC in Amazon delivery trucks just as the weather is getting dangerously hot www.404media.co/software-upd...

A farmer in Texas donated his land to a town to be turned into a public park. After he died, the city took the land and sold it for $10 million to a company building a data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...
