We explore the realities of surveillance, motion‑sensing routers with privacy tradeoffs, and Craig’s full breakdown of the chaos and hype coming out of Black Hat - including agentic AI, guardrails that don’t guard anything, and the growing divide between restricted AI and open‑weight models. Craig also covers the Cold Incident Response Conference, AI‑powered threat detection, and a Bitcoin RNG hack that proves why dice still matter.

Jill celebrates Linux’s 35th birthday and Valve’s 30th anniversary with a look back at the milestones that shaped open source, gaming, and the Linux desktop.
