This week on Uncanny Valley, we take you behind our feature on the women struggling after being targeted by the burnerverse.

Microsoft is moving its communications group out of marketing and into its Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs (CELA) organization. The surprise change will see Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith oversee communications, while the company searches for a replacement for Frank Shaw, chief communications officer, who is departing later this year. Microsoft CEO Satya […]

What if your wireless earbuds - or audio glasses - could stream high-quality lossless audio that doesn't cut out when you leave your phone on the bedside charger or buried in the couch? Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Sound Elite Gen 2 is its first to integrate "micro-power Wi-Fi 6E" right into the chip, so they can […]

Meta's lawyers have argued that certain evidence should be withheld from public view on the grounds of attorney-client privilege in the ongoing lawsuits over alleged harm to teens' safety and mental health. Lawyers suing the company said this week that the label has been applied far too broadly, while pointing to a recently unsealed document […]

The startup's robot can tighten or loosen four bolts at a time, and it fits in a Pelican case.

In the past month, Waymo has expanded its fleet in Texas by 49%. There are other hotspots as well.

Your SQL can be perfectly reproducible while your business meaning is not. Suppose a user asks: What was revenue in Q1? Your data agent resolves Revenue , generates valid SQL, executes it successfully, and returns a number. Now suppose Finance changed the definition of Revenue in June. The old definition was: Revenue v3 = Recognized Revenue The new definition is: Revenue v4 = Recognized Revenue - Approved Adjustments When the same user ask...

Consider a familiar modernization scenario: a script runs at 2:13 each morning, moves files between systems built in different eras, and sends an email only when something goes badly wrong. Its author has retired, and its comments describe servers that no longer exist. Yet an important workflow still depends on it. Government modernization programs often concentrate on the visible legacy application while overlooking these quiet connective mechanisms. The risk is not that scripting is inheren...

Moving client projects from the Pages Router to the Next.js App Router sounded like a routine upgrade — until it wasn't. Every migration I've done has surfaced the same handful of breakages. Here are the four that cost me real hours, and how I fix them now. 1. getServerSideProps doesn't exist anymore The first thing that breaks is data fetching. There is no getServerSideProps in the App Router — server components fetch directly: // app/dashboard/page.jsx export d...

Zero-click RCE. Four major AI coding agents. No user interaction required. Let's talk about Plugin4Shell. The Incident In September 2026, researchers disclosed a vulnerability class dubbed "Plugin4Shell" affecting Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Copilot. The flaw lives in how these agents verify SHA-pinned plugin commits pulled from marketplaces. Here's the setup: you install a plugin, the agent pins it to a specific commit SHA, and in theory that SHA is your guarantee tha...

How an in-process scheduler turned one nightly job into N duplicate writes, and why I moved scheduling out of the app entirely. I was looking at staging data when I found two of something that should only ever exist once: two identical records for the same entity, same start date, created seconds apart. Not corrupted, not half-written. Just two, where there should have been one. The job that creates those records runs once a night. So why did it run twice? Because we run more than one ...

The fastest-growing codebase in the world right now is code nobody fully read. AI writes it, humans ship it, users depend on it. I think "did the AI write good code?" is about to become a real question teams ask. Code Sonar is my answer: deterministic scoring (same repo, same score, every time — no vibes in the scoring), 8 checks, results in seconds, findings written for humans. Free scans coming while I build in public. If you've shipped AI-written code, I'd genuinely like to know what sc...

I needed to host a real client's CMS site . For free. That last part turned out to be the hard bit. I'd built a modular, English-native Laravel CMS after switching off a Persian-language open-source project that needed more translation work than I had appetite for. Once the app was running cleanly in Docker locally, deployment seemed like the easy part. It was not. Round 1: Oracle Cloud Oracle's Always Free tier is genuinely the best deal in cloud hosting, 4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM, forev...

I shipped an Android app mostly by pairing with Claude Code. Writing features went fine. Testing them on a real phone did not. The problem When an AI coding agent tests an app on a device, the usual loop is: take a screenshot, look at it, decide where to tap, tap, take another screenshot. Every step sends an image to the model. A 20-step login-and-checkout flow can cost thousands of image tokens, fill the context window, and the agent still sometimes taps the wrong thing. Most...

I have a problem: I will happily grind 40 hours in a game for a meaningless achievement, but ask me to stay focused through one afternoon of debugging and my brain files for divorce. So I did the obvious thing. I put the game inside the work. DevGotchi is a free VS Code extension that turns your editor into a cyberpunk RPG. A little developer avatar lives in your side panel. It has stats — Focus, Motivation, Energy, Health — and they decay in real time while you code. Save files, push commit...

Direction is part of an icon’s behavior. In right-to-left interfaces, some icons should mirror. Others should not. A back arrow usually changes direction. A checkmark does not. A reply icon may be directional. A clock should normally remain unchanged. A brand logo definitely should not be mirrored just because the interface is RTL. The problem is that this knowledge often lives in documentation, design files, or simply in someone’s head. That does not scale. The...

"Use key-based auth instead of a password" is common advice for connecting to a server over SSH. But what exactly does key authentication prove, and how does that differ from what a password proves? This post works through the mechanics of what each method is actually demonstrating. Authentication is an act of proof Note: authentication is the process of confirming that whoever just connected really is who they claim to be, based on some kind of evidence. It's often confused wi...
