Top Story

The governor of Oregon took a break from her busy schedule of - reportedly - day drinking and nervous breakdowns to sign a new right-to-repair bill that is actually good. (Ars Technica)

The legislation bans "parts pairing", where you not only need an exact replacement part, you need the exact replacement part, because all the parts have built-in clique identifiers and won't talk to interlopers.

Tech News

Amazon is investing another $2.75 billion into AI company Anthropic, developer of Claude. (CNBC)

If you haven't heard of Claude you are not alone, but it is a thing that exists.
FTX - what's left of it - is selling off most of its stake in Anthropic to raise funds to pay back customers. (Yahoo Finance)

FTX misused customer funds to - among other things - buy a $500 million stake in Anthropic.

That stake is now worth $1.35 billion, and may be the key to FTX customers getting all their money back.

Disclaimer: It's turquoise all the way down.
