Ed and Stefano are live to discuss the alarming Cox Supreme Court case that could turn ISPs into copyright police, a massive Red Hat breach, and why Google's new developer rules threaten F-Droid and software freedom.
The episode kicks off with major security and privacy concerns, including the massive Red Hat GitLab breach that exposed data from 800 organisations, and Microsoft's strange new AI face recognition limits in OneDrive. Ed and Stefano also dive deep into the Cox Communications Supreme Court case, expressing serious concern that it could force ISPs to become copyright police and threaten the future of VPNs. They also cover Google's new developer verification rules, which pose an existential threat to open-source app stores like F-Droid. Ed also shares a personal discovery about a long-standing issue he's had with Docker container networking and Nginx, explaining why case sensitivity can cause unexpected problems for self-hosters.
On the hardware and industry front, the hosts discuss the worrying trend of lock screen ads on budget smartphones, a scary incident with a swelling Samsung Galaxy Ring battery, and the massive 10-gigawatt AI chip deal between OpenAI and Broadcom that highlights the huge power demands of modern AI.
