Microsoft Reassigns All GitHub Engineers
Also Legal AI Loses Client Files And Kohler Watches You Poop

The Custodian of Codeberg Just Got a Very Busy New Tenant

The Zig Software Foundation, custodians of the up-and-coming Zig programming language, formally quit the GitHub platform today, citing a total collapse of engineering quality that they attribute to a Microsoft-mandated, all-hands-on-deck pursuit of AI. The project is relocating to the non-profit code host, Codeberg, after growing tired of what lead developer Andrew Kelly called GitHub's "vibe-scheduling."

The breaking point was apparently a long-running, inexcusable bug in GitHub Actions, where a small script named safe_sleep.sh would, in fact, sometimes run forever, consuming 100% of a CPU's resources and cripppling CI runners for weeks. The fact that Microsoft allowed such a fundamental, CPU-maxing oversight to linger is, according to the Zig Foundation, proof that the company is ignoring the plumbing while frantically trying to sell new AI-powered gold-plated faucets. Microsoft's new corporate directive seems to be "embrace AI or get out," and the Zig project chose the second option.

The AI Whoopsie That Just Made 100,000 Private Documents Public

The legal technology space suffered a minor data containment issue when security researcher Alex Schapiro discovered that the $1-billion legal AI platform, Filevine, was unintentionally broadcasting internal secrets. A critical API endpoint called /recommend, intended for their flagship AI tools, had zero authentication requirements, meaning anyone could connect to it.

By sending a simple request, Mr. Schapiro was handed a maximum-access administrator token for Filevine’s internal Box cloud storage, which allowed full access to nearly 100,000 confidential files. These files included everything from attorney-client privileged communications to HIPAA-protected health records, all because the AI department was allowed to set up a new door with a 'Wide Open' sign on it. Filevine claims to have fixed the problem, but the incident serves as a strong reminder that even in the highest-stakes industries, an API endpoint can be as secure as a sticky note on a server rack.

Micron Ditches Its Best Friend To Go Sit With The Cool AI Kids

Micron Technology, Inc. announced its decision to exit the Crucial consumer business, effectively stopping the retail sale of its popular SSDs and memory modules. The official corporate memo explains this is being done to "improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments." This translates roughly to: "We're not mad at you, small PC builder; we just realized we can make way more money serving giant data centers."

The company is reallocating its manufacturing capacity entirely toward these higher-margin enterprise and hyperscale customers, who are currently demanding vast quantities of memory for their AI-driven data centers. The consumer market, which was the loyal customer base for nearly three decades, will now have to stand by the water cooler and watch as Micron takes its football to the new, more profitable field.

Briefs

• The Bathroom Revolution: Kohler’s $600 smart toilet camera, Dekoda, claims "end-to-end encryption" but their own privacy contact admitted the data is decrypted on their servers to "provide the service." This means Kohler employees can technically access the pictures of your bowel movements, possibly to train an AI model. Happy flushing.
• Typography Costs: Japanese game developers are facing a sudden crisis after the US acquisition of a major font provider caused the annual commercial font license price to skyrocket from around $380 to $20,500. Congratulations to the new corporate overlords for making the Kanji look 50 times more valuable.
• RCE Vulnerability: An important remote code execution bug was found in React and Next.js, reminding everyone that all web frameworks are one bad commit away from a Friday afternoon production meltdown.
