The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Linux Foundation Debuts Akrites to Speed Up Open Source Vulnerability Fixes

The Linux Foundation launched Akrites on Thursday with 19 founding members including major tech firms and banks to organize remediation of critical open source vulnerabilities before AI-powered attackers can exploit them. The project tackles the reality that fewer than 5% of thousands of AI-identified flaws have received patches by instituting one confidential response team in place of scattered reports.

CISA gives feds until Sunday to patch exploited Cisco and PTC flaws

CISA has ordered federal agencies to patch two critical vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and PTC Windchill/FlexPLM products by June 28 due to active exploitation. The move underscores the urgency of addressing known exploited flaws in widely used enterprise and industrial software.

Apple Vision Pro and Smart Glasses Chief Paul Meade Departs for OpenAI

Paul Meade, Apple’s VP in charge of Vision Pro and smart glasses development, is leaving for OpenAI’s hardware unit by next week to work on its AI-powered devices. The departure, reported June 26, 2026, continues a pattern of executives exiting Apple for AI rivals and follows a 2025 restructuring of the company’s spatial computing teams.
