A researcher found over 100,000 words and phrases in "every major language" that are blocked from autocomplete and swipe-type in iOS, Reuters reports. The researcher, Derik Kauffman, says you can still type the words on the blocklist one letter at a time. But they won't pop up as predictive text suggestions and iOS's keyboard may automatically alter them when swipe-typing, like changing "left wing conspiracy" to "left wrong conspiracy."
Kauffman posted the full list online, including the individual lists for different languages.
Most of the words and phrases on the list are offensive, slurs, or related to topics like sex and drugs. But it …

Fox has officially closed its $22 billion acquisition of Roku, the companies announced on Friday. With Roku under its umbrella, Fox now controls a major streaming platform that reaches more than 100 million households in the US.
First announced in June, the deal will allow Fox to bring Fox Sports, news content, and local stations to Roku.

Ubuntu has CVE-2026-98432 marked as a 9.8, but yet it's coming up on a week with no update to fix it. It's still marked as "work in progress" (though at least now they've listed a mitigation):

I've had mitigations in place for a week, but this response is really shaking my confidence in Ubuntu. I'm just trying to understand what is going on with Ubuntu. Do they have too many kernels (that page is loooong), do they not have enough automation in the build/test pipeline, are their engineers overwhelmed?
We are moving into a world where there are going to be vastly more security issues; if you can't keep up now, where are you going to be in the next 6 months?
For a long time keeping on top of OS updates has been a huge part of keeping the attackers at bay. However, the world is changing.
