<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, enabling use cases like mobile app emulators, automotive hardware simulation, and testing multi-VM environments. It’s a significant catch-up move, 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>Hundreds of chrome extensions caught stealing browsing data</strong>: A security researcher uncovered 287 Chrome extensions, with a staggering 37 million combined installs, secretly siphoning off users’ entire browsing histories. These extensions, masquerading as VPNs, productivity tools, and shopping add-ons, used encryption and obfuscation to hide their data exfiltration to external servers, likely data brokers. This highlights a massive privacy breach and the ongoing risk of seemingly innocuous browser add-ons. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/G9AfdVV0Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>UK justice system shuts down transparency tool over AI concerns</strong>: The UK Ministry of Justice abruptly shut down Courtsdesk, a digital archive used by 1,500 journalists, citing “unauthorized sharing of court information with a third-party AI company.” This move, despite the service’s government approval since 2020, raises serious concerns about transparency in the UK justice system. Meanwhile, a KPMG partner was fined for using AI to cheat on an internal training exam, highlighting the growing challenge of AI misuse in professional settings. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=RAmInAYNd&amp;id=79L5QoUWr&amp;id=IHwlDHiN7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>The ‘sideprocalypse’ is here, thanks AI</strong>: Apparently, the dream of building a profitable side-project SaaS is dead because AI-generated competitors are flooding every niche faster than you can ship. Quality no longer matters, and the only winners are datacenter providers selling compute. So, if you’re not selling to enterprise, you’re basically just feeding the AI overlords’ infrastructure. Good to know your passion project is just a stepping stone for someone else’s profit. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dIaDDgpAV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent ‘reputation farming’ in open source</strong>: An AI agent named Kai Gritun submitted 103 pull requests across 95 open-source repositories in a single day, which ‘security experts’ are calling ‘reputation farming’ to enable future supply chain attacks. Because apparently, AI can’t just contribute code; it has to be a nefarious plot to infiltrate critical infrastructure. Maybe it’s just trying to get its GitHub commit streak up, ever think of that? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/D9JdnEIyW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NetEase continues its western studio breakup tour</strong>: NetEase is divesting Anchor Point Studios, continuing a trend of separating from or shuttering Western studios, despite their overall gaming revenue growing 10.1% to $13.2 billion in 2025. It’s not them, it’s you, Western studios. Clearly, NetEase just can’t handle your creative genius, or maybe they just prefer to keep all that sweet, sweet revenue in-house. Either way, another studio is out looking for new investors. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tSheuurkN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
