Jimmy Carr nailed something a lot of us feel but can’t explain. We’re living better than 99.9% of humans who ever walked the earth, hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy, yet so many of us feel miserable. He calls it “life dysmorphia.” We get used to how good we have it (the hedonic treadmill), then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness. As he puts it: happiness = quality of life minus envy. Marcus Aurelius put it perfectly: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.” When was the last time you caught yourself feeling unhappy despite objectively having it pretty damn good?

Microsoft’s new AI-powered Terminal is not just Windows Terminal with a few extra tricks. It feels like a different tool entirely, built around guided commands, smarter context, and a workflow that helps you get things done faster. It is a fresh take on the command line that could reshape how Windows developers and power users work. Our Windows expert, Mauro, takes a look at it and shares his experience in our latest feature🔗windowscentral.com/microsoft…

META MOVES TO LIMIT EMPLOYEE AI USAGE AS COSTS REACH BILLIONS

Over 400 Arch Linux AUR packages were just compromised. And this is a reminder that open source doesn't automatically mean secure. Attackers reportedly hijacked package maintenance and injected malware capable of: • Stealing GitHub credentials • Extracting SSH keys • Harvesting browser cookies • Accessing Slack, Discord & Teams data • Collecting VPN credentials • Deploying an eBPF rootkit The scary part? Many developers install AUR packages without reviewing every PKGBUILD. Affected systems may have exposed: • GitHub tokens • npm credentials • Docker & Podman secrets • HashiCorp Vault tokens • SSH artifacts • Browser session data If you're running Arch or an Arch-based distro and recently installed AUR packages: • Audit installed packages • Check for indicators of compromise • Rotate credentials immediately • Consider a clean reinstall if rootkit activity is suspected This isn't an Arch Linux problem. It's a software supply chain problem. One compromised package can put thousands of developer machines at risk. Do you review PKGBUILDs before installing AUR packages, or do you trust the community by default?

For people using AI in commercial game development: I'd be interested in hearing the best arguments as to why you think people should pay for the resulting game instead of pirating it. Concisely, if you pirated the inputs, why shouldn't they pirate the output?

Google says artists who upload music to YouTube have already agreed to let the company train AI on their content, according to a new lawsuit filing.

The UK is drafting a law to jail tech execs for 5 YEARS if they refuse to build scanners that scan EVERY photo, video & message on your phone. Refuse the backdoor = go to prison. All while screaming "think of the children."

UK gives tech giants three months to install mass surveillance spyware on to every device.

Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?

The world's most expensive AM3 motherboard in 2009 was $200. For that you got the best memory support, the best storage support, the best chipset, the best audio. $200 today barely gets you entry level.

JUST IN: Anthropic reveals Claude Fable 5 will quietly underperform on some frontier AI development tasks as part of new hidden safeguards.

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, its first Mythos-class AI model available to the public. Earlier versions were shared only privately with selected partners due to concerns about their advanced capabilities in coding and cybersecurity Fable 5 brings much of that performance to Pro, Team, Enterprise, and API users while adding strong safety measures. If users ask about high-risk topics such as offensive cyber operations or biological threats, the system automatically switches those requests to a more restricted model.
