    A GitHub project called watermarks-remover targets AI provenance signals in text and files, including Unicode markers, statistical watermarks, and metadata. The tool now supports content from OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude, according to its developer. While it can remove metadata fairly cleanly, the project admits that rewriting statistically watermarked text may affect tone and precision. The effort highlights the growing cat-and-mouse game between AI watermarking and removal.

    Microsoft has announced it will fully retire SMS and voice authentication for Entra ID by February 1, 2027, with a phased rollout starting September 1. The move is driven by the rise of AI-powered phishing attacks and easier SIM swapping. Passkeys will become mandatory for all organizations, and personal Microsoft accounts are also seeing the shift. Users are urged to transition to passkeys before the deadlines hit.

    AMD used Computex 2026 to reassure PC gamers with a mix of nostalgia and forward-looking hardware. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D returns as a 10th Anniversary Edition, while a new Ryzen 7 7700X3D lowers the entry cost for 3D V-Cache gaming. AMD also confirmed AM5 support through 2029 and introduced the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for 1440p gaming.
    Nvidia’s $500 billion AI infrastructure push leaves crypto compute further behind

    Nvidia’s $500 billion AI infrastructure push leaves crypto compute further behind

    Aug 13, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    Nvidia has signed memorandums of understanding with six major Wall Street firms to establish AI compute as a bankable infrastructure asset. The initiative could channel more than $500 billion into AI factories powered by Nvidia GPUs. This move is likely to widen the gap with smaller decentralized compute networks that face technical and operational limits. The company aims to reposition AI compute as a long-lived, revenue-generating asset class.
    Bitcoin’s BIP-110 fork is 300 blocks behind BTC and six years from fixing itself

    Bitcoin’s BIP-110 fork is 300 blocks behind BTC and six years from fixing itself

    Aug 13, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    The proposed BIP-110 rule change triggered a chain split on Saturday, but the breakaway chain has struggled. With only two blocks produced and no market value for its coin, miners have little incentive. The chain cannot adjust its difficulty until 2016 blocks, a milestone more than six years away. Some observers say it's too early to call the effort dead.
