    I went back to Linux and it was a mistake

    I need an OS, not another hobby.

    OpenClaw is scanning AI skills after hundreds of malicious add-ons were found on ClawHub.

    Researchers raised alarms when over 400 malicious skills were uploaded to ClawHub and GitHub in just one week. That prompted an outcry, so OpenClaw partnered with VirusTotal to scan third-party skills. The company acknowledges it’s not a “silver bullet,” but it should provide at least some reassurance to concerned users.

    MST3K is coming back. Again.

    Instead of Jonah Ray, Mike Nelson (from the show’s original run) will be donning the jumpsuit. Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett will also be reprising their roles as Servo and Crow. The focus of MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments will be on “classic bad” movies and it’s already blown past its Kickstarter goal.

    Moody is a teleprompter that lives in the notch on your Mac.

    Sure, you could just load a script up in a window on your laptop, but then you wouldn’t be looking into the camera, which makes things feel awkward and amateurish when you’re recording a video. Moody solves that by putting the prompter in the notch right next to the lens.

    Bandcamp Friday is back.

    You know the deal: Every dollar you spend on Bandcamp today goes directly to the artist, and the site forgoes its cut. I’m eyeing a few things, including the new Mandy, Indiana record, URGH. But let us know what you’re snagging in the comments.

    Upgraded MacBook Pros could be just around the corner.

    Mark Gurman says in the latest edition of the Power On newsletter that the slightly spec-bumped MacBook Pros (not the touchscreen OLED models) should launch as part of the macOS 26.3 release cycle. That means he expects them to hit shelves before the end of March.

    All signs point to an imminent launch of next-generation MacBook Pros that retain the current form factor but deliver faster chips. I’m told the new models — code-named J714 and J716 — are slated for the macOS 26.3 software cycle, which runs from February through March. Another sign that an upgrade is coming: Supply of the current high-end MacBook Pro models has tightened significantly in Apple’s online store.
