<li><strong>Snap Store publisher domains hijacked for malware distribution</strong>: Scammers are exploiting the Canonical Snap Store by registering expired domains previously used by legitimate publishers, then using these hijacked accounts to distribute malicious updates to trusted snap applications. This new tactic, detailed in a cybersecurity report, specifically targets cryptocurrency wallet users, stealing recovery phrases and undermining trust in the Snap Store’s publisher reputation system. Canonical has not yet publicly responded to this escalation, which highlights significant security risks and concerns over platform verification mechanisms. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8RJLmL5a0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Iran disrupts Starlink internet with military-grade GPS jamming</strong>: Iran successfully used military-grade GPS jammers to disrupt Starlink satellite internet, cutting performance by up to 80% during a nationwide internet shutdown that disconnected 85 million people. This incident, unlike less effective Russian attempts, raises serious concerns about Starlink’s reliability in conflict zones and its perceived role as a censorship-resistant tool for activists and journalists. The technique targets GPS signals essential for Starlink terminals to locate satellites, marking a significant technical escalation in internet censorship. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VVK9EFJ8w" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical RCE vulnerability in n8n automation platform</strong>: A critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-21858, CVSS 10.0) has been discovered in the n8n automation platform. This flaw allows attackers to read arbitrary files, extract database and encryption keys, and forge admin session cookies to execute commands by manipulating the Content-Type header in the Form Webhook node. Affecting an estimated 100,000 servers, users are urged to upgrade to version 1.121.0 or later and secure their instances. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4XP5JDLv1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>China files for massive 193,428-satellite constellation</strong>: China has filed ITU requests for two satellite constellations, CTC-1 and CTC-2, totaling 193,428 satellites, dwarfing SpaceX’s Starlink plans and raising national security concerns for the US FCC. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9Dqo8zul1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Physical AI and AV industry shifts at CES 2026</strong>: CES 2026 highlighted Physical AI and autonomous vehicles, with Mobileye acquiring Mentee Robotics for $900 million, Motional shifting to an “AI-first” approach, and New York lawmakers proposing robotaxi legislation, amidst increased Chinese presence and US regulatory tensions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MtQzzuuIN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Open source models: cathedral, megachurch, and bazaar</strong>: Open source projects are categorized into cathedral (exclusive groups), megachurch (large foundations like Linux Foundation), and bazaar (individual maintainers), with bazaar projects forming critical infrastructure but facing significant funding challenges. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rr8Vo8FaG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New CLI tool integrates AI and developers with Figma</strong>: The <code>dannote/figma-use</code> command-line tool provides full read/write access to Figma, supporting over 100 commands and JSX syntax for programmatic design creation, optimized for AI agents and developers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DfAoRLrdU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Security in 2026: memory-safe languages and AI monitoring</strong>: With 48,000 CVEs in 2025 and attackers exploiting vulnerabilities within 24 hours, developers should prioritize memory-safe languages like Rust (0.2 vulnerabilities per million lines) and AI-driven monitoring to prepare for 2026. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Tk2pS5qPG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Curl drops OpenSSL-QUIC backend due to performance issues</strong>: The curl project is removing support for the OpenSSL-QUIC backend in version 8.19.0 due to its inadequate API, extremely poor performance (3x slower), and excessive memory usage (20x more) compared to alternatives. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/As2f3e0AW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>GPT-5.2 Pro solves Erdos problem #281, or so they say</strong>: Apparently, GPT-5.2 Pro has solved an unsolved mathematical problem, Erdos problem #281, which human mathematicians couldn’t crack. Terence Tao, a highly regarded mathematician, called it “perhaps the most unambiguous instance” of AI solving an open problem. While impressive, the lack of technical details on the solution itself, or any independent verification, makes one wonder if it’s a genuine breakthrough or just another AI marketing stunt to keep the hype train rolling. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pRkd3CPEF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s Antigravity: now with more productivity, less coding</strong>: Google’s Antigravity, leveraging Gemini 3 Flash, is expanding beyond coding to compete with Anthropic’s Co-work by adding productivity features like creating Google Slides and organizing files directly from the IDE. Because what every developer really needs is to stay in their editor for <em>everything</em> except, you know, actual coding. It’s almost like they’re trying to turn developers into glorified administrative assistants, all while calling it “AI-first.” <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/HVlI4ECqg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated cat weather forecasts: the pinnacle of innovation</strong>: Someone built an e-ink weather display that uses Google’s Gemini and Nano Banana APIs to generate AI-powered cat scenes based on the daily forecast. Because nothing says “cutting-edge AI application” like personalized cat pictures for your weather. And at 14 cents per generation after free credits, it’s a truly cost-effective way to get your daily dose of weather and feline cuteness. The future is here, and it’s purr-fectly ridiculous. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4SyrvZdf0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
