If you're old enough to have spent time in the aisles of a Blockbuster (and maybe even if you aren't), a new website called BingeBuster might scratch a long-lost itch. BingeBuster takes the feeling of browsing a video store in the '90s and applies it to streaming services such as Netflix and HBO Max. The site presents shelves full of movies in a 3D space, and you can hop between aisles to browse different genres.

Al Jazeera

What is Iran's Pickaxe Mountain? Turkiye lays out'mechanisms' of defence pact with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will group senior ministers, hold joint exercises and deepen defence industry cooperation under a military pact signed between the regional powers last week, Turkiye's defence ministry says. The three countries on August 7 signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement on August 7, which stipulates that an armed attack against any member would be regarded as an attack on all, similar to NATO's Article 5 collective defence clause. "Under the accord, strategic political and military mechanisms plan to be established involving the Defence Ministers, Foreign Ministers, and Chiefs of General Staff/Armed Forces Commanders, and that coordination among the three countries will be conducted at the highest level," it said. The ministry added that joint military exercises involving land, naval and air forces, as well as air defence and unmanned systems were planned, in addition to deeper defence industry cooperation.


Surprise, surprise: CBP officers are misusing surveillance tech

Engadget

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have reportedly misused electronic databases to spy on family members, try to get dates and even provide intelligence to suspected drug traffickers, according to freedom of information (FOIA) files seen by Wired. Officers allegedly abused databases that can draw from sources like license plate readers, facial recognition and smartphone searches to violate the privacy of numerous individuals. A CBP officer is alleged to have used a government database to contact a flight attendant, and another was accused of using data from trusted-traveler applications to ask people out. One employee provided border-crossing data to someone involved in a divorce, and another abused internal policies by tracking coworkers cellphones with ad-tech-derived location data. Of 300 incidents tracked by Wired, 138 were referred to CBP management and 78 assigned to criminal investigators, while 43 others weren't investigated.


The Download: kids' thoughts on AI, and female clones of male mice

MIT Technology Review

Plus: Trump has authorized businesses to conduct cyberattacks on criminals. When we set out to talk to kids about AI, we thought we knew what we'd hear. We expected stories about cheating, inspiring uses, and concerns like deepfakes or job destruction. But what we actually heard from kids aged 10 to 18 had tons of nuance. Many were so deeply against AI or uninterested in making it part of their lives that they didn't want to talk about it at all. Others worried about cheating, the environmental impact, or AI's effect on creativity and critical thinking.

Water bills set to rise for many after firms permitted extra funding

BBC News

Water companies have been given the green light to increase bills for customers by an extra £3.4bn in coming years to meet increased pressures on infrastructure and the environment. Nearly a third of the extra funding provisionally approved for 13 water companies in England and Wales is earmarked for making sure water services are maintained. The rest will be used to meet rising demand from housebuilding and data centres and to address pollutants known as forever chemicals. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the proposal was real money out of family budgets at a time when they are struggling with the cost of living, and an environmental group described the decision as an insult. The regulator, Ofwat, said the extra spending would enable the firms to support growth and better environmental outcomes, and ensure important upgrades were not delayed.
