Fairness Isn’t Just a Feature—It’s the Future
The European Union is making bold moves to reshape the digital landscape—and if you're a consumer, developer, or platform operator, you’ll want to pay attention. Two major regulatory shifts are now underway: the proposed Digital Fairness Act and the activation of key provisions in the EU AI Act. Together, they signal a new era of transparency, accountability, and ethical design in the digital economy.

AI and Data Privacy Under Scrutiny
The promise of AI is seductive: instant answers, personalized insights, and a frictionless interface with the digital world. But beneath the surface of convenience lies a growing privacy crisis—one that’s now impossible to ignore.

The Semiconductor Industry and Regulatory Compliance
Earlier this week, the Trump administration narrowed export controls on advanced semiconductors ahead of US-China trade negotiations. The administration is increasingly relying on export licenses to allow American semiconductor firms to sell their products to Chinese customers, while keeping the most powerful of them out of the hands of our military adversaries. These are the chips that power the artificial intelligence research fueling China’s technological rise, as well as the advanced military equipment underpinning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The US government relies on private-sector firms to implement those export controls. It’s not working. US-manufactured semiconductors have been found in Russian weapons....

First Sentencing in Scheme to Help North Koreans Infiltrate US Companies
An Arizona woman was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for her role helping North Korean workers infiltrate US companies by pretending to be US workers.
From an article:
According to court documents, Chapman hosted the North Korean IT workers’ computers in her own home between October 2020 and October 2023, creating a so-called “laptop farm” which was used to make it appear as though the devices were located in the United States.
The North Koreans were hired as remote software and application developers with multiple Fortune 500 companies, including an aerospace and defense company, a major television network, a Silicon Valley technology...
Peak Printer: 3D Print your favourite Landscape
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=ld09WI1nC14
There is something timeless and universal about our connection to mountains. Whether it’s the jagged teeth of the Himalayas or the gentle curves of the Alps, the sight of these natural wonders captures our imagination and fuels our sense of adventure. With the advance of satellite technology, especially the initiatives from the European Space Agency (ESA), we now have the unprecedented ability to capture the Earth in intricate detail. The Copernicus programme, the EU’s flagship Earth observation mission, has democratized access to this satellite data like never before. It’s this incredible resource that made the PeakPrinter project possible: a tool...
Friday Squid Blogging: A Case of Squid Fossil Misidentification
What scientists thought were squid fossils were actually arrow worms.
Spying on People Through Airportr Luggage Delivery Service
Airportr is a service that allows passengers to have their luggage picked up, checked, and delivered to their destinations. As you might expect, it’s used by wealthy or important people. So if the company’s website is insecure, you’d be able to spy on lots of wealthy or important people. And maybe even steal their luggage.
Researchers at the firm CyberX9 found that simple bugs in Airportr’s website allowed them to access virtually all of those users’ personal information, including travel plans, or even gain administrator privileges that would have allowed a hacker to redirect or steal luggage in transit. Among...

Transforming AI Tooling: Deploying Remote MCP Servers with Google Cloud Run
As Large Language Models (LLMs) become more central to modern software systems, the need to supply them with relevant and reliable context has grown urgent. Developers often face challenges integrating external data and tools into LLM workflows, especially when trying to maintain deterministic behaviors or replicate precise calculations. Recognizing this friction, Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a standardized way to define and serve tool interfaces for LLMs. MCP bridges models with external context using structured, type-safe requests, enabling everything from math operations to full API integrations.
Initially, MCP was mostly...
