August 21, 2026 Apple's Private Relay Is Leaking Your IP
Three cracks opened up in Apple's privacy story this week: iCloud Private Relay leaking real IP addresses through DNS prefetching, WebTransport, and passkeys; Hide My Email exposing real addresses in bounce logs; and an unprecedented wave of spyware notifications going out to targeted users. Also this week: 737 fake VPN extensions sitting in the Chrome Web Store, Edge phasing out Manifest V2, a judge giving Google one week to fix its anticompetitive Play Store flow, and France's top court blocking the under-15 social media ban on free expression grounds.

August 20, 2026 They're Mapping Every Surveillance Camera in America (DeFlock Interview)
Flock Safety is one of several companies quietly building a searchable database of everyone's car — no warrant required, and no way to opt out. In this Techlore Talks interview, Bob from DeFlock breaks down how ALPR technology works, what "end-to-end encryption" really means in Flock's case, why this issue is bipartisan, and what you can do about it in your own city.

August 20, 2026 Comcast's New Router Feature Is Just Creepy
Comcast just turned millions of leased Xfinity routers into motion sensors that track movement through your home, and buried in the fine print is a clause letting them hand that data to third parties without telling you. Here's what Xfinity Shield actually does, why the tradeoff makes no sense even if you want the feature, and how to get off your ISP's hardware with a modem and router you actually own.
