EVERYTHING ANNOUNCED AT MADE BY GOOGLE, INCLUDING PIXEL 10, PIXEL WATCH 4, AND PIXEL BUDS 2A

The annual Made by Google event this year was less of a keynote and more of a variety show, playing out like a special offbeat episode of The Tonight Show. The event mostly focused on hardware, but Google spent just as much time hyping up its Gemini AI integrations. This article presents a summary of everything announced at the event, including the new Pixel 10 lineup, the Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a, and Gemini AI integrations.

HOW I BUILT A FULL-STACK REACT FRAMEWORK 4X FASTER THAN NEXT.JS WITH 4X MORE THROUGHPUT

Rari is a full-stack React framework built on a custom Rust runtime with V8. Its architecture consists of three layers: a Rust core runtime for executing React Server Components, smart Vite integration for RSC-aware transformations and dependency management, and true server-side rendering with streaming support. It uses file-based routing with automatic code splitting and prefetching, optimizing bundle sizes and performance.

APACHE ACTIVEMQ FLAW EXPLOITED TO DEPLOY DRIPDROPPER MALWARE ON CLOUD LINUX SYSTEMS

Threat actors are exploiting a two-year-old critical Apache ActiveMQ vulnerability (CVE-2023-46604, CVSS 10.0) to deploy DripDropper malware on cloud Linux systems, then patching the flaw post-compromise to block other attackers and evade detection. The attackers use the PyInstaller-based DripDropper to establish persistence through modified SSH configurations and cron jobs, while leveraging legitimate services like Dropbox and Cloudflare Tunnels for command-and-control communications.

ETH/BTC RATIO HITS 2025 HIGH AS ETFS AND TREASURIES SOAK SUPPLY

Ethereum has increased 70% since June 1 versus bitcoin's 9%, lifting the ETH/BTC ratio above 0.037 to a new yearly high. The rally largely stems from ~$9.4B of U.S. spot ETH ETF inflows and digital asset treasuries now holding over 2% of ETH supply, up from 0.2% two months ago. Together, ETFs and treasuries have absorbed 3.7% of circulating ETH, while leveraged demand via VolatilityShares' 2x Ether ETF has added 456,000 ETH-equivalent exposure.

COINBASE BETS ON THE RISE OF AI PAYMENTS FUELED BY DIGITAL DOLLARS

Coinbase recently held a Crypto x AI hackathon where about 100 engineers spent the weekend building payment infrastructure with real-world purpose. Developers at the hackathon were encouraged to integrate Coinbase's x402 open-source payment protocol, which is designed to let apps, bots, or machines charge and settle instantly in stablecoins, into their projects. Coinbase wants to build the back-end infrastructure of the AI economy. The US Congress recently passed the first US law regulating stablecoins, giving them a clear legal framework, allowing developers to take them more seriously.

BUILDING A BETTER DATABASE TO DETECT DESIGNER DRUGS

Designer drugs replicate the effects of known, illicit drugs, but evade law enforcement. The variations in chemical structures help them avoid detection, but they also make them unpredictable in the body, which could pose serious health consequences. A research team has used computer modeling to create a database of predicted chemical structures for the improved detection of designer drugs. The database could someday be a publicly available supplement to the current illicit drug mass-spectral databases.
