Sunbird iMessage App for Android Returns on Play Store After 3-Year Hiatus

Sunbird Messaging has relaunched on the Google Play Store, allowing Android users to access Apple's iMessage service for $2.99 per month. The app offers features such as reactions and high-quality video sharing, which typically cause compatibility issues in mixed iMessage group chats. Sunbird originally shut down nearly three years ago following serious security concerns raised about its platform. The company claims its revamped infrastructure now protects all messages in transit and deletes them once delivered. The relaunch comes despite broader cross-platform messaging improvements through RCS support introduced by both Apple and Google in recent years.

Infinite Machine's Olto Blurs the Line Between Scooter and Bicycle

Infinite Machine has developed a new personal transport vehicle called the Olto, which occupies an unusual space between a scooter and a bicycle. The design follows a scooter-style layout, which significantly compromises the pedaling experience for riders. Despite this ergonomic drawback, the Olto does include functional pedals, technically qualifying it as a bicycle. The product appears to push the boundaries of how a bicycle is defined, raising questions about vehicle classification and design priorities.

Trump's AI cybersecurity testing framework excludes open-source models, critics say

The Trump administration has released a voluntary framework for assessing cybersecurity risks posed by advanced AI systems. The guidelines, stemming from an executive order signed by President Trump in June, require AI companies to share frontier models with the federal government before release. However, the framework explicitly excludes open-source AI models — those freely downloadable and publicly inspectable — from its scope. It also states that the framework cannot be used to restrict open models once they have already been released. Critics have raised concerns that the voluntary and limited nature of the guidelines weakens their effectiveness as a cybersecurity safeguard.
