⚡️💻 TECH - Mozilla warns that tougher rules against Google could put Firefox in a difficult position. Google pays browser companies to make Google Search their default search engine, and Mozilla gets much of its revenue from such deals.

⚡️🔥 NEW - The heat generated by Bitcoin mining is used here to melt the snow on a driveway nearly 90 meters long. This setup uses 12 immersion-cooled Antminer S21 Pro units, and instead of simply venting the heat generated by the machines, it is recovered via heat exchangers to heat glycol. The liquid then circulates through a dense network of PEX pipes installed beneath the driveway, literally transforming the thermal energy lost during mining into a giant snow-melting system.

⚡️💻 TECH - Brave is adding stronger protection against a type of online tracking called browser fingerprinting. The update focuses on WebGL and WebGPU, technologies that websites use for things like 3D graphics, games and other demanding visuals. The problem is that they can also reveal details about your device, including its graphics hardware and capabilities. Websites can combine this information with other data to create a unique “fingerprint” that can be used to recognize your device. Brave is changing how this information is shared, making it harder for websites to create a reliable fingerprint

⚡️🚨 ALERT - Trezor: We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026. The data exposed: - Full names - Shipping addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy). All affected customers have been contacted separately by email. Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts. NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels. We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected.
