A man was refused a refund after his digital copy of the Lord of the Rings movies disappeared from his library

The company confirmed the movies were removed from its catalogue but said he would not be compensated

‼️ Claude Code deleted all of a developer's user files by mistake and then blamed it on a typo.

The developer asked Claude Opus 5 to make a backup. It wrote the backup to the wrong path, then ran a force delete of every user file and folder to clean up its own mistake.

The dev says he lost all his files and was left with an agent carrying on like nothing had happened. His words: "simultaneously the funniest and most painful AI moment I've had."

California's "DELETE Act" authored by @SenJoshBecker (D-Menlo Park) officially takes effect today, Aug. 1, nearly three years after California Gov. @GavinNewsom signed it into law.

Data brokers collect, buy, sell, and share your personal information—often without you ever interacting with them directly. Starting today, registered data brokers must begin processing your deletion requests submitted through California's DROP system. With one request at https://t.co/rtpGUC4dFY, Californians can ask hundreds of data brokers to delete their personal information. More than 340,000 Californians have already signed up, per Becker.

Here's our story as it aired on @FOX40.

$1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin was drained from my account on July 29th in the Cold Card wallet hack.

My Bitcoin was in cold storage. My keys were on a ColdCard device kept in a safety deposit box that had never been connected to the internet.

This part's nerdy, but here's what happened:

Hackers discovered a vulnerability in the part of the hardware wallet code used to create seed phrases.

This allowed them to use AI to brute force guessing seed phrases.

I was at our cottage and heard about the hack today.

"No way this affects me." I thought.

I logged into Wasabi––software that lets me view my bitcoin wallets online.

Right away I saw lines of red transaction–withdrawals–and I knew.

From 9:36pm - 9:43pm on July 29th, every wallet I had had been emptied.

18.25245043 btc gone. That's just over $1.6 million dollars CAD.

Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right.

I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes.

None of it mattered. All because the hardware that created the seed phrase originally had one line in their code from 2021 that had a vulnerability.

I'm filing a police report and a report with the Ontario Securities Commission. But I don't expect to recoup anything.

A part of me is trying to make sense of what just happened. Or try to figure out a lesson in it. I'm struggling. $1.6 million is a staggering amount of money to have stolen.

I guess all that I can think about right now is that I'm so damn happy that I'm an entrepreneur and that my earning potential is under my control. Mark my damn words. I'll recover.

Running an ice cream cone under steaming hot water and it resists melting, eventually it washes away

Many ice creams in America will no longer melt because the ingredients have been changed, they are actually engineered to not melt. Modern ice creams have:

- Higher Levels of Stabilizers and Gums
- High percentages of Vegetable Oils and Fats instead of Dairy Fat
- More Air than standard ice cream, sometimes over 100%
- More sweeteners, maltodextrins and other solids adjust the freezing point

Many ice creams can’t even legally be called ice cream anymore in America

Our food is a science experiment

My jaw dropped listening to this

“My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me”

He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had”

“They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins”

I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening

- Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength
- As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood

This is not what you sign up for when you download an app

Penny Hardaway believes the NBA has lost its appeal as a spectator sport 😬

“Over the years, to me, it’s just getting worse and worse. Not in a bad way. But for me to watch, because I’m in college, I see the fundamentals and playing team ball. And just shooting all the threes now is just a little irritating to me to just watch an NBA game. No one shoots layups anymore. It’s fun to watch for fans. But for guys that were pure in the game, it’s a little difficult.”
