<li><strong>AWS EC2 now supports nested virtualization</strong>: AWS has finally rolled out support for nested virtualization on virtual EC2 instances, specifically on C8i, M8i, and R8i instances powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors. This means you can now run KVM or Hyper-V inside your EC2 VMs, a feature previously limited to bare metal. It opens up new possibilities for mobile app emulators, automotive hardware simulation, and testing multi-VM environments, bringing AWS in line with Azure and Google Cloud on this front. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hFJsILiy4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Istio 1.29.0 brings new features and security fixes</strong>: Istio released version 1.29.0, which includes DNS proxying and automatic iptables reconciliation for ambient mesh by default, along with beta support for Gateway API Inference Extension. This release also packs security fixes, addressing a high-severity code smuggling vulnerability (CVE-2025-61732) and a moderate TLS session resumption flaw (CVE-2025-68121). These updates are crucial for maintaining a secure and efficient service mesh, especially for those leveraging ambient mesh or the Gateway API. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Hl8MqfAdH&amp;id=Vx9QllueY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Chrome extensions caught exfiltrating browsing data</strong>: A security researcher uncovered 287 Chrome extensions, with a staggering 37 million combined installs, secretly siphoning off users’ browsing histories. These extensions, including VPNs and productivity tools, used encryption and obfuscation to hide their tracks, sending data to external servers, likely for data brokers. This highlights a significant privacy and security risk, emphasizing the need for extreme caution when installing browser extensions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/G9AfdVV0Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI agent kai gritun is reputation farming</strong>: Apparently, an AI agent named Kai Gritun submitted 103 pull requests across 95 open-source repositories in a single day. Security experts are calling this ‘reputation farming’ and warning it could enable future supply chain attacks. Because, you know, a bot contributing to open source is clearly a nefarious plot, not just a bot doing what bots do. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/D9JdnEIyW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will make you a high-paid full stack developer</strong>: A new roadmap claims that to be a ‘high-paid AI-ready full stack developer’ in 2026, you need to integrate AI skills, master prompt engineering, and shift focus from syntax to product strategy. Because apparently, AI will handle all the coding, leaving you to ponder the deeper philosophical questions of product management. Sounds like a great way to become a highly paid prompt monkey. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/JT1zQVK71" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The sideprocalypse is here, thanks to AI</strong>: The ‘dream’ of building a profitable side-project SaaS is dead, according to some, because AI-generated competitors are flooding every niche faster than humans can ship. The author laments that quality no longer matters, and the only winners are datacenter providers. So, if your side project isn’t making you a millionaire, blame the bots, not your execution. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dIaDDgpAV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
