CPU-Z, the long-running hardware diagnostic tool first released in 2001, has received its V3 update adding 100+ health checks, built-in stress testing, and XOC effective clock tracking. The article text is largely boilerplate navigation from Tom's Hardware with minimal additional detail beyond the headline.

A $10,000 phishing kit called iAuthFlow v2, sold on Russian-language cybercrime forums, uses a browser-in-the-middle attack to enroll attacker-controlled passkeys on compromised accounts within seconds of authentication. Abnormal Security analyzed the kit's demos showing it targeting Google, with packages also advertised for iCloud, LinkedIn, and Microsoft. The rogue passkey persists even after the victim changes their password, defeating standard remediation steps like session revocation and credential rotation.

Meta faces a California trial where states seek to force removal of addictive design features including infinite scrolling, autoplaying videos, Instagram Stories, beauty filters, and algorithm-dominated feeds.

Realme Malaysia is launching the C100x budget smartphone on 28 August 2026, featuring an 8,000mAh battery, 45W charging, a 6.8-inch 120Hz LCD, Unisoc T7250 processor, 6GB RAM, 256GB storage, and MIL-STD 810H drop resistance with IP64 rating.

ByteDance and Tencent each received roughly 10,000 Nvidia H200 GPUs on mainland China under case-by-case NDRC-approved import licenses, the first meaningful deliveries since Trump cleared exports in December. However, most of their licensed allowance (up to 100,000 units each) must stay outside the mainland, largely in Hong Kong, and the delivered chips represent only ~2.5% of the 400,000+ units collectively approved for ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent in January.

Nvidia denied a report that it would ship Groq-based LPUs to China by year-end, stating there is 'no China-specific LPU product in our roadmap.' The denial pushes back on speculation about Nvidia partnering with Groq to produce China-compliant inference chips.

JomCharge has activated a 120kW ABB-ChargeDOT DC charger with two CCS2 nozzles at the Sepang Driving Experience Centre, priced at RM1.30/kWh and accessible via JomCharge, Gentari Go, or ChargEV apps. Three higher-capacity JomChargeX units (up to 240kW, 6 bays) near the Motorsport Park are still undergoing testing.

Wazuh announced AI-assisted SOC workflows via the Wazuh AI Analyst on Wazuh Cloud, plus integrations with third-party AI providers for self-deployed instances. The article frames AI as augmenting SOC analysts by summarizing alerts, adding context, and recommending remediation rather than replacing human expertise.

SanDisk announced a 7.68TB M.2 NAS SSD priced at $2,200 with a 14,000 TBW endurance rating, meaning you could theoretically write the full drive capacity every day for roughly five years before hitting the warranty limit. The product targets NAS deployments where sustained write endurance matters.

Microsoft is rolling out a theme setting for Outlook on the Web and New Outlook for Windows that makes them visually resemble Classic Outlook, with targeted release complete by end of September 2026 and general availability by end of October. The toggle only changes appearance—missing features like robust offline support, full .pst handling, and COM add-ins remain absent, and COM add-ins will never come to New Outlook. Classic Outlook support continues until at least 2029, with the opt-out phase pushed to 2027.

The article title indicates Meta AI glasses demand is surging, making covert recordings harder to avoid, and that detection apps for the glasses are imperfect. However, the provided article text consists almost entirely of website cookie consent and privacy policy boilerplate — the actual article content is not included.

The article text contains only cookie consent and privacy policy boilerplate from Ars Technica. No substantive content about SpaceX, the Moon, or ULA's new leadership is present in the provided text.

Slovakia's national security service discovered backdoors in 279 newly deployed traffic cameras, funded by the EU. The backdoors allowed SMS-triggered shell access and passwordless live video feeds, and the offending units were deactivated.

A CBRE report finds New York's office market now hosts more tech workers (394,300) than the San Francisco Bay Area (375,730), the first time SF has been unseated in 13 years of the analysis.

Enterprise SSDs now cost 18.6 times more per terabyte than HDDs, with 30TB SSD drives priced at $22,600. HDD supply is reportedly sold out through 2027, creating a storage cost and availability squeeze for infrastructure planners.

Tom's Hardware is flagging a $900 discount on the Asus ROG Flow Z13, a 14-inch 2-in-1 touchscreen gaming laptop with 64GB RAM, a 16-core AMD Strix Halo CPU, and a 1TB SSD, positioned as suitable for both games and AI workloads. The article itself is mostly site boilerplate; the substantive content is the deal and the specs.

Microsoft has fixed a maximum-severity CVSS 10.0 vulnerability (CVE-2026-69836) in Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, which was actively exploited in the wild. The flaw stemmed from unsafe deserialization, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution, but Microsoft has already mitigated it on their cloud infrastructure, requiring no customer patches.

Cisco patched nine vulnerabilities across Crosswork and Secure Workload products, five scoring CVSS 10.0, including SQL injection, missing authentication, and command injection flaws. All were found during internal testing with no known active exploitation, and fixes are available in Crosswork 7.2.1-SP, Secure Workload 3.10.9.1, and 4.0.4.16.

DataDome researchers report that scalper bots now outnumber human shoppers 10-to-1 on at least one retailer's DDR5 listing pages, hitting listings every 6.5 seconds. 32GB DDR5 kits have surged from $72 to $392, a roughly 5x price increase driven by automated scraping and hoarding.
