Local MCP Server Lets AI Models Review and Comment Directly on Figma Designs

A local Figma MCP Server now allows AI assistants such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini to access and review Figma design files directly within the canvas. The server integrates with MCP-compatible clients including GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor, enabling AI models to analyze layouts, spacing, contrast, and design system consistency. Feedback is pinned as comments to the specific frames being reviewed, and existing comment threads can be read and prioritized by urgency. Because the server runs locally on the user's machine, the Figma personal access token never leaves their control. Setup requires an MCP-compatible AI client, the Bun runtime, and a Figma personal access token with appropriate file and user scopes.

New SIM Card Rules on Connection Limits Take Effect from August 24

India's updated SIM card regulations will come into force on August 24, placing stricter controls on the number of mobile connections a subscriber can hold. Telecom operators will be required to identify and notify customers who exceed the permitted limit of connections. Most subscribers across India are allowed up to nine connections, while those in certain regions are capped at six. Initially, verification will be carried out after activation, with a transition to real-time checks planned by November. The new rules are designed to stop individuals from acquiring more mobile connections than the legally prescribed limit.

AiSec Studio Uses Deterministic Pipeline to Stop AI Security Scanners from Hallucinating

Developer AiSec Studio is an offline AI security research platform designed to prevent the hallucination problem common in LLM-based vulnerability scanners. The tool runs every scan through a structured pipeline — parser, rule engine, and knowledge graph — before a local language model ever processes any data. Vulnerability detection is handled entirely by deterministic rules and AST parsers, while the LLM is restricted to explaining and correlating findings already confirmed by the system. All findings must include evidence, a confidence score, a risk level, and a suggested fix, or the system flags them for manual review instead of generating a conclusion. The platform runs fully offline using models like Qwen2.5-Coder or DeepSeek-Coder via Ollama or llama.cpp, with no cloud API involvement at any stage.

Why navigator.sendBeacon beats fetch for analytics on page exit

When a browser tab is closed, fetch requests fired inside a beforeunload handler are often cancelled mid-flight because the browser tears down the page context before the network round-trip completes. navigator.sendBeacon was purpose-built for this scenario, queuing the request and guaranteeing delivery even after the page unloads. Unlike fetch with keepalive, sendBeacon carries no payload-reliability caveats and works consistently across modern browsers. On mobile devices, beforeunload itself is unreliable, as iOS Safari may not fire it when users switch apps or lock their phones. Developers are advised to use the visibilitychange event combined with sendBeacon to reliably flush batched analytics whenever a page enters a hidden state.

Shubman Gill questioned over Kuldeep Yadav's limited bowling role in Galle Test

India captain Shubman Gill faced questions about his handling of spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the Galle Test against Sri Lanka. Kuldeep bowled just 25 overs across both innings and claimed only one wicket. In contrast, left-arm spinner Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja each bowled around 44 overs, combining for 14 wickets between them. Despite the uneven workload distribution, India secured a comfortable 165-run victory in the match.

Interpol Issues Red Notice Against Key Suspect in Sambhal Violence Case

Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against the alleged mastermind behind the Sambhal violence that occurred on November 24, 2024, in Uttar Pradesh. The unrest broke out when local protesters clashed with security forces during a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid. The survey was prompted by claims that a Harihar temple once stood at the site. The Red Corner Notice enables law enforcement agencies across member countries to locate and provisionally arrest the wanted individual.

Choosing a TTS API Requires Three Separate Filters, Not One Ranked List

A developer analysis argues that standard 'best TTS API' rankings are misleading because the three key decision factors — price, transport method, and compliance — cannot be meaningfully compared on a single scale. Pricing across providers varies by roughly 40x, ranging from $4 per million characters at Google Cloud and Amazon Polly to over $166 at ElevenLabs, a gap that becomes significant at high usage volumes. Transport architecture differs fundamentally: WebSocket streaming suits live conversational agents, chunked REST offers a middle ground, and batch delivery works for pre-rendered content like e-learning. On the compliance front, Google Cloud and AWS already have published HIPAA BAAs, while providers like Cartesia and Inworld have limited or tiered coverage. The author's core point is that these three dimensions act as independent filters that must each be evaluated separately before a vendor shortlist can be formed.

Kerala Ex-BJP Leader Gets Bail After Life Sentence Suspended in Assault Case

A former BJP leader from Kerala, identified as Padmarajan, has had his life sentence suspended in a sexual assault case. A court granted him bail after he executed a bond of Rs 1 lakh with two sureties. As a condition of his release, Padmarajan has been prohibited from entering the revenue district where the survivor resides.

Bombay High Court Denies Relief to Restaurant Caught Selling Banned Analogue Paneer

The Maharashtra government imposed a one-year ban on the manufacture and sale of analogue or non-dairy paneer earlier this month, citing public health concerns and food safety violations. An eatery found serving the banned product approached the Bombay High Court seeking relief from the restrictions. The court declined to grant any relief to the establishment, with the bench reportedly describing the situation as 'poetic justice'. The ban targets non-dairy paneer substitutes that had been widely found in violation of food safety norms across the state.

Three King Cobra Nests Found in Yunnan, One Containing 72 Eggs

Residents in Yunnan province, China, discovered three king cobra nests, generating significant interest among wildlife scientists. One of the nests, located near the city of Kunming, contained an unusually large clutch of 72 eggs. The discovery suggests that king cobras may engage in group guarding behavior and follow varied nesting practices.

GSoC 2026: Developer Builds Community Plugin Marketplace for OWASP OWTF

A Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor working with the OWASP Foundation built a Community Plugin Marketplace for OWTF, a security testing framework that previously had a static, hard-to-extend plugin catalogue. The original plan to create a runtime sandbox was scrapped after a mentor pointed out that Python-based isolation sharing the same database and filesystem as OWTF would not constitute a real security boundary. Instead, the project shifted to a source-code review queue model, where uploaded plugins await admin approval before being integrated into OWTF's standard plugin pipeline. The contributor delivered six pull requests totalling around 6,000 lines of Python and TypeScript, 153 backend unit tests, a static AST validator that screens dangerous code at upload time, and a trust model document outlining the system's security scope and limitations.

Principles for Designing an AI Reasoning Ledger Record Outlined

A developer writing the 'Building the AI Memory Stack' series has published Part 4.5, focusing on the design of individual records within a Reasoning Ledger for agentic AI systems. The piece argues that agentic systems need a layer that preserves why a decision was made, not just what was decided. Rather than offering a simple schema to copy, the author emphasizes understanding the design tensions that determine what belongs in a ledger record. A key principle is that the ledger must never have the power to block or veto actions — its role is to serve as a neutral witness, not an enforcement mechanism. The article also stresses that superseded decisions should create new linked records rather than overwriting originals, preserving the full historical context of past choices.
