Mobileye’s next move is to run its own robotaxi fleet, not just supply the tech. They’re wiring the service straight into their Moovit platform, so the booking app, driver dispatch and vehicle monitoring all live under one roof. The rollout starts with roughly a hundred self‑driving vans next year, then they’ll scale toward the tens of thousands if the pilot holds up. It’s a way for the company to collect real‑world data and prove the whole stack works end‑to‑end, while still keeping the doors open for OEM partners. Meanwhile, Hisense has quietly filled a niche that most big brands ignored: a small, design‑forward QLED for bedrooms or kitchens. The Déco comes in 32‑ or 43‑inch sizes, wrapped in a white, sculpted frame that blends into décor instead of shouting “tech.” It uses quantum‑dot panels to boost color range, so even at Full HD you get richer blacks and brighter hues than a typical LED. The built‑in Fire TV remote means you get smart features without extra clutter, and the whole unit snaps together without tools. Google just pushed its on‑device parental‑control suite out to every Android phone that can run version 17. The same screen‑time caps, app blocks and nightly lock‑downs that lived on Pixel phones now appear everywhere, all protected by a PIN and tied into Family Link. It’s a modest but useful step toward a more kid‑friendly Android ecosystem. Snap’s newest Specs glasses ditch the external puck and go full‑on with a liquid‑crystal‑on‑silicon display inside the frames. At $2,195 they’re positioned as a developer‑first platform, offering utility tricks like real‑time translation, a virtual tape measure and a large private display for work or media. The company is betting that early adopters will explore shared AR experiences, turning a single‑user device into a collaborative workspace.

__DEGRADED__ From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 10th. Here are today's top 10 tech stories. Let's get into it. First, from TechCrunch. It’s not FAANG anymore. It’s MANGOS.. With SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI all eyeing massive public debuts, the tech industry may soon have a new class of corporate overlords — and a new acronym to match. Say goodbye to FAANG and hello to MANGOS. Next. Second, from Ars Technica. Gold isn’t inert, it just has bodyguards protecting it. Gold is weird. It's one of the few metals that doesn’t really oxidize. Even silver and copper—from the same column of the periodic table—form weak oxides. Naively, you might expect that gold would tarnish just like silver. Gold also sits right next to platinum, but it has none of that metal’s catalytic properties. Then came gold nanoparticles that acted like catalysts, and we were confused by their apparent willingness to take part in chemical reactions. Now, a pair of scientists has explained that gold’s inertness isn’t inherent to the atom but rather to the surfaces that gold crystals form. Up next. Third, from Ars Technica. High-severity vulnerability in Linux caused by a single faulty character. Researchers have analyzed a high-severity vulnerability in Linux that’s able to escalate untrusted users to root by exploiting a bug you don't often see: a single errant character inside the kernel. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-23111, is located in nf_tables, a subsystem of the Linux kernel that provides packet filtering capabilities. And then. Fourth, from Ars Technica. Paramount accuses Netflix of "scorched-earth campaign" against WBD merger. Paramount Skydance is accusing Netflix of maintaining a campaign against its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). In a June 5 letter (PDF) addressed to Jared A. Hughes, acting section chief of the Media, Entertainment, and Communications Section of the US Department of Justice's (DOJ's) Antitrust Division, and A. Maya Kahn, a trial attorney for the Antitrust Division, and first reported on by Politico today, Paramount chief legal officer Makan Delrahim accused Netflix of trying to influence stakeholders about the merger. Next. Fifth, from Ars Technica. Commonwealth Fusion makes the physics case for its 400 MW reactor. The scientific community has a plan for achieving fusion power. It involves getting a better understanding of how to control fusion in a tokamak-style reactor using the currently under construction ITER reactor, and then using that knowledge to build DEMO-style plants. Up next. Sixth, from Ars Technica. Three key vital signs make up the "urban pulse" of a city. People often speak metaphorically of the heartbeat or pulse of a city, but according to the authors of a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, cities do indeed have an "urban pulse"—an indication of urban "metabolic activity" that can be measured to suss out telltale patterns. And those patterns could help inform future public policy around urban planning. The precise definition of urbanization has shifted over the centuries. Zhe Zhu of the University of Connecticut and his fellow authors adopted a broad version for their study. And then. Seventh, from SD Times. Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5, Mythos 5. Anthropic today is launching Claude Fable 5, a safe-for-use Mythos class model, and is launching Claude Mythos 5 to a small group of security and infrastructure providers that has some safefguards lifted. Fable 5 has safeguards that can prevent its cybersecurity capabilities from being misused. The safeguards ensure that queries on certain topics will be answered by Claude Opus 4.8. Meanwhile, Mythos 5 will be deployed through the company’s Project Glasswing as an uprade to Mythos Preview. The company claims this new model has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model. Next. Eighth, from Slashdot. High-Severity Vulnerability In Linux Caused By a Single Errant Character. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Researchers have analyzed a high-severity vulnerability in Linux that's able to escalate untrusted users to root by exploiting a bug you don't often see: a single errant character inside the kernel. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-23111, is located in nf_tables, a subsystem of the Linux kernel that provides packet filtering capabilities. Up next. Ninth, from Platformer. How to help knowledge workers who lose their jobs to AI. This is an interview about AI. My fiancé works at Anthropic. See my full ethics disclosure here. Last week in our series on AI and jobs, labor economist Kathryn Anne Edwards explained why the United States' weak social safety net makes the prospect of AI-related job displacement quite worrisome. And then. Tenth, from MKT1 Newsletter with Emily Kramer. Should you buy a billboard on a Bay Area Freeway?.
