And let's get stuck in because our headline was AI generated content must be labeled clearly according to new EU guidelines.

And basically this is a report and I'll go over to this report here from Techspot.

EU will require companies to label AI-generated content, and that basically started at the start of August 2026.

So if you're watching this in the future, which you must be because this is recorded, then you will probably already know about some of this stuff.

A separate Amazon outage shows how a shared dependency can create broad, knock-on effects.

TechSpot reported that DNS resolution problems tied to DynamoDB APIs in AWS's US East 1 region triggered cascading failures that disrupted chat GPT, along with many unrelated online services.

Distinct products can still depend on overlapping layers beneath the model itself.

So if a company says it has a backup AI provider, that may not be much protection if both services ultimately rely on the same region or critical service underneath?

I mean, obviously, there's Amazon trackers and Newegg trackers and things like that.

But one of the largest ones that have been done is TechSpot.

TechSpot has been tracking the prices across 10 different countries, advertised prices, sale prices, all that kind of stuff.

And What they found is very much in line with a recent video that I did, and that's that MSRPs are lying to you.

And so we should, as reviewers and media in general, stop repeating the lie that is, oh yeah, you can get this card for MSRP because MSRP really doesn't exist anymore.

I'll paste it.

So the article is in TechSpot.

Basically, South Korea has announced that they're providing free generative AI services to its entire population.

It does specifically say that it is... not a general it's not intended to be a general purpose chat bot it's specifically designed to interface with government type systems um not like it's not hermes for all or whatever it's um it's specifically able to book doctor appointments search for apartments get tax guidance i'm a little jealous i feel like if you ask the irs uh chat bot for advice it would just be like i don't know dude just file an amendment i don't know what's going on um

Got an email from Mike in the South Bay.

in california he says he runs a small i t company and we've been seeing a lot more computers infected through fake company luncheon or event invitations and the scary part is that the attack actually installs screen connect which is a legitimate remote access tool and then it hides it so there's no system icon tray system tray icon and it doesn't appear in the normal list of installed apps now he contacted screen connect support and they did acknowledge that bad actors are intentionally hiding the software and they even found it on one of the computers he found out one of the computers that he helps manage at an escrow company which as you can imagine handles incredibly sensitive information So I wrote him back and I said, hey, there's a list that just came out, and I'll put this on the website, from TechSpot with all these third-party Windows uninstaller programs that get rid of stubborn software.

And so he tested a bunch of them and came up with this one called Uninstaller, U-I-N-I-N-S-T-A-L-R.

And he tested it on one of his infected computers.

In related news, an Oviedo, Florida man is facing three felony charges for destroying a flock camera after he was caught removing a 3D-printed decoy that was placed by police as part of a sting operation.

Techspot reports that Evan Meyer, 24, places counts of criminal mischief causing more than $1,000 in damage, grand theft involving property valued between 750 and $5,000, and damaging or taking a computer electronic device or related equipment.

The decoy was printed at home by a police officer who reportedly did not bill the city for time or materials.

Very tres interesting.

He needs some money, but he's got a place to stay.

Techspot.com. Just a few more articles.

People were winding down this incredible episode of Beyond the News.

Headline, the largest all-electric plane ever flew for 27 minutes on $5 electricity.

So let's start off with some news briefs.

And so in this case it's from TechSpot, and they, uh, are telling us about how Flock Safety, our favorite automated license plate reader and, uh, quote-unquote, "security company," was planning a partnership with a dash cam company called Nexar, and Nexar provides dash cams to Uber and Lyft and delivery driver cameras.

Most of these cars now come with interior and exterior cameras for, you know, security, liability reasons, whatever, but oftentimes what this means is that your ride is completely recorded.

So, you know, be careful what you do and what you talk about.
