A sysadmin told Grammarly his company wasn't renewing. Grammarly then started emailing all the company's users, asking them to write the sysadmin to stop the cancellation.
Every employee with a licence received an email from a "Customer Success Manager" saying the subscription was under review, along with the licensing colleague's direct email address and a copy-paste note asking him to keep it.
The app on their machines said the same: access ends September 30; let your manager know how much it helps. The button read "Find your admins."
He says the company had planned to ride out the rest of the subscription. Instead, leadership ordered the emails deleted, Grammarly pulled off endpoints, and the Copilot rollout moved up.

‼️ Rust’s best-known maintainers are under attack. Attackers lure victims into installing malware by pretending to have good news.
They start with a friendly video call about a job, contract, or project. Then they ask the victim to install a missing audio codec or run a command from the clipboard.
The goal is the publishing account, so malware can ship under a trusted name.
This has worked before. Prominent Rust developers were hit the same way in June, and last month the arrayref crate was briefly compromised.
The Rust team does not yet know if this is one campaign. The technique is known from North Korean operations, but they are not attributing this one.

Claude Code was told to clear a temp folder. In 103 seconds it decided to delete about 48,000 live files instead.
It stopped, saying it "broke something".

UnitedHealth used an AI model it knew had a 90% error rate to cut off care for elderly patients, and kept using it because almost nobody appeals — that is the allegation at the centre of a class action now in discovery in Minnesota.
When patients did push back more than nine in ten denials were reversed on internal appeal or before a federal administrative law judge. Denials that rarely survived scrutiny, and scrutiny that rarely arrived.
One of the AI's victims is Gene Lokken (91) who broke his leg and ankle in a fall. UnitedHealth covered three weeks of nursing-home rehab, then stopped while his physical therapist's notes still recorded weakness and reduced mobility.
His family paid $12,000 to $14,000 a month out of pocket until he died a year later. His estate is the lead plaintiff.

‼️ BREAKING: Jensen Huang says Dario Amodei and Sam Altman are lying by asking for more laws. Read between the lines, he said. They're asking to be released from the laws we already have. "I think that's a problem."
The existing ones already cover it. Unauthorized entry, damage liability, product liability. He pointed to the labs' own security incidents as the example. Apply those first. Don't let a doomsday narrative relieve anyone of the laws that do exist, Nvidia's CEO told CBS News.

Owning a drone in Beijing will be illegal from 15 November. The revised city rules ban possessing or storing any drone or its core parts, and anything still in the capital after the deadline can be confiscated.
The government cites the security of the capital.
There is a buyback programme. One of the official buyback points is the Beijing flagship store of DJI, the world's largest drone maker.
Sell before 31 October and the state adds 30% of the price, capped at 3,000 yuan. After that the top-up halves. The other options are scrapping the drone or mailing it out of the city.
