The Briefing Room in Missile Command Delta has two tricky puzzles. You’ll find a keypad, missile plans, a colorful panel, and hidden buttons. Both puzzles involve a weird red projection—no manual to help. The keypad’s part of the challenge, but the rest is up to you.

today's tech scoop from The Download. India's racing to catch up in AI, but it's still way behind the US and China. Even as a tech hotspot, local AI development struggles to keep pace. The gap's real, and the push for independence is on.

The Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular. It’s still super repairable, scoring perfect on iFixit. No more tool-free battery swaps, but you only need a T5 screwdriver. Solid upgrade without losing its eco-friendly edge.

As a kid, I dreamed of being an archeologist. History fascinated me (still does). Exploring jungle temples and tombs sounded thrilling. At 13, I devoured Greek and Roman history books and chatted with my history teacher about it. Basically, I was obsessed.

So, this article discusses how Trump’s potentially launching a crypto empire. Apparently, his team's been exploring digital assets and blockchain tech – could be a big deal. The article got a few points on Hacker News, but surprisingly, no one left any comments there. Pretty interesting development, though!

Fed's Barkin says current data doesn't push for rate cuts right now. No rush to lower rates based on what we're seeing. Things seem stable enough to hold off for now. The numbers just don't justify immediate action yet. Patience is the play until more signs show up.

Basically, these studios are super unhappy with Midjourney. They want money back, and they want a judge and jury to decide the case. And they're hoping to stop Midjourney from using their copyrighted stuff moving forward. It's a full-on legal battle.

Worldcoin's launching in the US. It uses an orb to scan eyes for crypto. Sam Altman's behind it. Not much buzz yet, just one comment. Kinda weird but interesting.
