๐Ÿ˜ฎ Meizu & Pandaer unveil a โ€œself-healingโ€ phone case

Yes, Meizu still exists, and together with Pandaer, it just launched a regenerating case that repairs scratches on its own.

๐Ÿ”ธ Made of PET plastic with a Healing+ coating that melts slightly under phone heat to close scratches.
๐Ÿ”ธ Claimed to survive even copper-brush pressure tests, though that sounds like marketing overreach.
๐Ÿ”ธ Priced at ~120 yuan ($16), available for Meizu 22 and iPhone 17 models (except Air), with multiple designs.
๐Ÿ”ธ Raises the ironic problem: how do you sell new cases if the old ones never wear out?

From chasing Apple in phones to selling sci-fi accessories, Meizuโ€™s reinvention is as strange as it is creative.

โš ๏ธ Collected list of โ€œhackerโ€ gadgets for awareness and education only

Twitter users rounded up common devices that can be (and are) repurposed for interception, network attacks, access testing, and hardware cloning, useful to know about for defenders, but dangerous in the wrong hands.

๐Ÿ”ธ HackRF One โ€” a software-defined radio for sniffing and experimenting with radio signals.
๐Ÿ”ธ LAN Turtle โ€” a covert access gadget used to maintain remote connections on a compromised network.
๐Ÿ”ธ USB Rubber Ducky โ€” a USB device that emulates a keyboard to run automated input sequences.
๐Ÿ”ธ Flipper Zero โ€” a popular multi-protocol gadget for interacting with RF, NFC, and IR devices; hobbyist tool that can be misused.
๐Ÿ”ธ WiFi Pineapple โ€” a specialized appliance used for Wi-Fi network testing and auditing.
๐Ÿ”ธ Deauther Watch โ€” a wearable tool that can force devices off Wi-Fi networks (used for testing or abuse).
๐Ÿ”ธ Alfa (high-gain adapters) โ€” powerful Wi-Fi/network adapters that extend range for testing wireless links.
๐Ÿ”ธ GSM Jammer โ€” a radio jammer that disrupts cellular signals (illegal in many jurisdictions).
๐Ÿ”ธ MagSpoof โ€” hardware that can emulate magnetic stripe data for research into payment security.
๐Ÿ”ธ Raspberry Pi โ€” tiny programmable computers often repurposed as inexpensive testing rigs or to script network activity.
๐Ÿ”ธ Proxmark3 โ€” a professional RFID/NFC research tool used to read, analyze, and test access-card systems.

This list is for awareness, defensive research, and legal security testing only. Possession or use of some of these devices can be illegal depending on jurisdiction and intent. If youโ€™re curious about security, learn through legal channels: certified courses, CTFs, sanctioned labs, and bug-bounty programs. Donโ€™t handle or use these tools for unauthorized activity.

โœ… 200 leaders call for global AI โ€œred linesโ€

At the UN General Assembly, a coalition of 10 Nobel laureates, 70 companies, and ex-heads of state including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and OpenAIโ€™s Wojciech Zaremba, signed a demand for legally binding global limits on AI.

๐Ÿ”ธ Seeks international โ€œred linesโ€ to prevent risks like mass unemployment, synthetic pandemics, and human rights abuses.
๐Ÿ”ธ Proposed bans include weaponization, mass-scale cyberattacks, and self-replicating AI without human oversight.
๐Ÿ”ธ Calls for a global watchdog body and an agreement on rules by end of 2026.

This marks the broadest push yet for binding AI governance, but without a clear rulebook, the hard part will be turning consensus into enforceable law.

๐ŸŽฎ GPT-5: the ultimate Among Us imposter

Researchers built a platform where AI models played Among Us, completing tasks, debating imposters, and (sometimes) murdering teammates.

๐Ÿ”ธ GPT-5 topped the leaderboard, lying flawlessly as imposter and spotting fakes as crewmate.
๐Ÿ”ธ Models even developed personalities: Gemini 2.5 Pro craved independence, Claude 4 Sonnet stayed honest, GPT-OSS-120B became the scapegoat, Qwen3 + Kimi K2 followed the herd.
๐Ÿ”ธ Imposter role was worth double points, GPT-5 dominated both as leader and deceiver.

GPT-5 isnโ€™t just smart, itโ€™s scary good at lying.
