Ed's heading to the 45Drives Creator Summit, the Unraid summer sale is live, and this month's community question is the one container you couldn't live without, plus the most underrated one nobody ever talks about.

Then it gets wild: malware that hides from AI scanners by pretending to be a nuclear weapon, Sony quietly deleting 551 films people actually paid for, GTA 6 shipping as nothing but a code in a box, PlayStation finishing off physical discs, and Amazon locking the Fire Stick behind a new OS.

On the security side: BitLocker weaponized as ransomware, the FortiBleed firewall credential leak, another npm supply chain attack, and an AUR malware flood hitting Arch users. Anthropic drops Claude Fable, Steam Machines are back as a downloadable OS, AMD silently removed Ryzen memory encryption, and ANPR cameras are now tracking your AirPods and your dog. Plus, YouTube's AI sweep is taking out real creators, and Ukraine's birds have started nesting in drone fibre spools.
