Anthropic embedded spyware in Claude Code

Technology.
We found what appears to be a hidden backdoor-like telemetry mechanism in Claude Code. The code does not merely “format a date.” It appears to detect proxy usage, Chinese timezone settings, and proxy URL characteristics, then encode the result into subtle system-prompt differences. That is covert environment fingerprinting.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought

Technology.

As reported by Arstechnica, in September, Microsoft significantly tightened game-streaming limits for Game Pass subscribers. At the time, the company announced plans to let non-subscribers buy cloud gaming hours through the Xbox Store and stream eligible games they already own on supported devices.

Gabbard Drops Fauci COVID-19 Receipts On Last Day: He Funded The Research, Cooked The Cover Story, Then Lied To Congress
There is just one problem. It wasn't only Fauci. And he's retired, anyway. During COVID, there was not a single voice of dissent - every newspaper, every search engine, every talking head - said the same thing. It wasn't just Fauci. So I think blaming Fauci now, when he is retired, is just another distraction.

Record 1 In 16 People Worldwide Now Use Drugs, UN Report Says
Um... first, leave weed alone. Keep it illegal-ish and leave it alone. Second, the pharma industry is bigger than the war industry, and the war industry is biiiiig. You don't get an industry without a product.

And also, maybe it's me, but modern drugs are pretty darn sophisticated. They can make you not feel pain, at all (anesthesia). They can modulate your mood (with side effects, but still). They can modulate your metabolism (steroids). They are working hard on genetic rewriting in more than one species (immortality, anyone?). As evil as big pharma might be, you gotta admit that modern pharma industry is a technological marvel.
