This testing cycle has delivered a handful of practical changes for Apple TV and Vision Pro users. Earlier in the tvOS beta phase, Apple stripped the legacy iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps from the Home Screen, pushing users to rely entirely on the main Apple TV app. The company also included a Continuous Audio Connection toggle to help stop audio dropouts and popping issues when switching formats on external receivers.

Steve Wozniak on Apple at 50: We didn’t foresee the future, but we took the first step – 9to5Mac

“Well, it kind of started when I was born,” Steve Wozniak jokes when asked about Apple’s origin. “Steve Jobs wanted a company and he did it, and I was his resource,” Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Jobs nearly five decades ago, adds.

Wozniak also says Apple wasn’t in the business of predicting the future. Instead, it started with a focus of creating something better than the competition.

“We didn’t foresee the future the way it turned out, but we said for today, we’re taking a step forward ahead of others.”

Anthropic sues US government over supply chain risk designation

According to Reuters, Anthropic has filed a lawsuit to prevent the Pentagon from adding the company it a national security blocklist. This comes days after the Department of Defense sent a letter to Anthropic confirming the company was labeled a supply chain risk; at the time CEO Dario Amodei had all but guaranteed Anthropic would fight back with legal action.

The lawsuit claims the designation was unlawful and violated first-amendment free speech rights as well as due process. “These actions are unprecedented and unlawful. The Constitution does not allow ​the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech,” Anthropic said in a statement published by Reuters.

Open-source tool Sage puts a security layer between AI agents and the OS – Help Net Security

av Mikael Winterkvist | mar 9, 2026 | Bluesky, Mastodon, Notiser, Threads

The project applies the term Agent Detection & Response (ADR) to this class of tooling. The name is a deliberate parallel to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) category that has been standard in enterprise security for over a decade.

What Sage does

Sage works through hook systems native to the agent platforms it supports. It intercepts tool calls, including Bash commands, URL fetches, and file writes, in Claude Code, Cursor/VS Code, and OpenClaw.

Each intercepted action passes through several detection layers. URL reputation checking runs cloud-based malware, phishing, and scam detection. Local heuristics use YAML-based threat definitions for dangerous patterns. Package supply-chain checks cover registry existence, file reputation, and age analysis for npm and PyPI packages. Plugin scanning runs at session start and checks other installed plugins for threats.
