The advent of AI hacking tools has raised fears of a near future in which anyone can use automated tools to dig up exploitable vulnerabilities in any piece of software, like a kind of digital intrusion superpower. Here in the present, however, AI seems to be playing a more mundane, if still concerning, role in hackers’ toolkit: It’s helping mediocre hackers level up and carry out broad, effective malware campaigns.

Right then, pull up a chair and get the kettle on. The embargo has finally lifted, and I can finally talk about the new Honor 600 series. Honor has been on a bit of a tear lately, and their latest duo—the Honor 600 and the Honor 600 Pro—is looking to settle the “my battery is dead” argument once and for all. We’ve seen the spec sheets, we’ve poked the buttons, and I’ve got some thoughts. If you’re tired of your phone giving up the ghost halfway through a Saturday night out, you might want to pay attention to this one.…

These examples are mostly pollution—nuclear, carbon, chemical, light—but I raise them not to highlight the ways human industry and technology degrade the environment but to note how the things humans build change it. Nobody really knows what the exact effects of all that will be, but my point is that no part of the globe is free of human fingerprints.

Apple has twice so far been rumored to explore a 200MP camera for upcoming iPhones. The first time it was supposedly going to be the main camera, and then, a few days ago, we heard about a 200MP telephoto camera that would only arrive in 2028. Today a new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo clears up some of the confusion. According to him, Apple will launch a big camera update every year starting with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this September. Those two are getting the much-rumored variable aperture.
