<li><strong>Meta goes nuclear for AI data centers</strong>: Meta has secured over 6 GW of nuclear power through agreements with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to fuel its AI-driven data centers. Vistra will provide 2.1 GW immediately from existing Ohio plants, with an additional 433 MW by the early 2030s. Oklo and TerraPower, both SMR startups, are slated to deliver 1.2 GW and 2.8 GW respectively by 2030-2032. This move signals a major shift in the tech sector towards long-term, large-scale nuclear energy procurement to meet the escalating demands of AI workloads. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1sXfoaLc2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Snowflake acquires Observe for AIops observability</strong>: Snowflake is acquiring Observe, an AI-based SRE platform, to enhance its observability offerings, particularly for monitoring and managing production AI systems. The goal is to unify visibility across data pipelines, AI model behavior, and infrastructure health within a single platform. This acquisition aims to address challenges in AI application monitoring by treating telemetry data as regular data within Snowflake’s Data Cloud, promising cost benefits over traditional observability vendors like Datadog and Splunk. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XlAd95QPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>North Korean hackers exploit QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI attributes recent malicious QR code spear-phishing campaigns to North Korean state-sponsored hackers, Kimsuky/APT43. These attacks target U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities, using fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Okta, or VPNs to harvest credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication via session token theft. The use of QR codes, or ‘quishing,’ allows attackers to bypass traditional enterprise detection tools, as mobile devices often operate outside managed security perimeters, as reported by the FBI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>China investigates Meta’s Manus acquisition</strong>: Chinese authorities are investigating Meta’s acquisition of Manus, an AI platform that relocated from China to Singapore after receiving US venture capital. Apparently, China is concerned about domestic tech innovation ‘migrating abroad’ after benefiting from state support. It’s almost as if they don’t want their startups to become successful global companies unless they stay firmly under Beijing’s thumb. Who could have seen that coming? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Z4bL3wwsW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Canonical’s ARM64 Steam Snap: gaming on a prayer</strong>: Canonical released a Steam Snap for Ubuntu ARM64, bundling the x86 Steam client with the FEX emulator, claiming Cyberpunk 2077 runs at over 200 FPS on NVIDIA DGX Spark devices. While it’s ‘experimental’ and ‘not officially supported by Valve,’ it’s a bold move to bring x86 gaming to ARM Linux. Just don’t expect your average ARM device to replicate those DGX Spark numbers; it’s more of a ‘look what’s possible with unlimited hardware’ demo than a practical solution for the masses. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Z9Oa5uBqK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GameStop’s grand exit strategy: close everything</strong>: GameStop is closing 390 stores in the US, exiting four European countries, and seeking buyers for its operations in France and Canada, all while net sales dropped 27.5%. Meanwhile, CEO Ryan Cohen was awarded a $35 million performance incentive, contingent on raising the market cap to $100 billion. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him. For everyone else, it just looks like a slow, painful retail death. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t6Y3Ssj5q" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
