    Bank of America CEO wants a human in the loop.

    BofA CEO Brian Moynihan doesn’t want people turning to the banks when an agent screws up a transaction. He says the bank is working with the AI industry to argue for human payment authorization, at least until the risk of error is mitigated by “further development of the capabilities” of agents.

    You break it, you buy it (again).

    Apple is charging $279 for all HomeView repairs, just $20 less than the smart home hub costs new. It’s $39 with AppleCare, but otherwise an official repair won’t make much sense. It’s another pricing problem for HomeView, which ships without either a mount or power adapter if you want it wall-mounted.

    Banned journalists get to keep their press passes while they sue the White House.

    District Judge Timothy Kelly extended his 14-day restraining order to last the duration of the lawsuit filed by CNN, MS Now, and Politico against Donald Trump’s White House after their press access was revoked. Kelly said the publications are “likely to succeed not only on their due process claim, but also on their two First Amendment claims.”

    Firefox has a business browser now.

    Firefox Enterprise combines the browser with a management console for IT admins with advanced security controls. The pitch is that it’s one of the few browsers that doesn’t run on an engine developed by Google or Apple. It’s rolling out in Europe first, and a Thunderbird Enterprise email client is also in the works.

    GoPro got sued for tariff refunds it never passed on to consumers.

    So far, so Sony, Nintendo, or Logitech. The twist? Technically GoPro never claimed the refunds either. In February this year, just ahead of the Supreme Court ruling that Trump’s tariffs were illegal, it sold its tariff refund claim for an immediate cash payout. The company had raised prices on many of its products in summer 2025.

    That’s according to analysts at Counterpoint, who also say sales in Q3 2026 were 20 percent down on the previous year, as supply shrinks and prices rise. Samsung held the top spot, helped by Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales, with Apple close behind.
