Amal Clooney Embraces Pucci Girl Summer to Celebrate George’s Birthday

0


It’s George Clooney’s 65th birthday, and of course, Amal Clooney was ready to celebrate the occasion in style. The couple were spotted out on the docks of Saint-Tropez—one of their favorite vacation destinations—arm-in-arm, in their own respective summery sartorial codes that they’ve established across holidays in Provence, Lake Como, and beyond.

Last summer saw the Pucci renaissance in full swing, with Hailey Bieber in a swirling lemon print set in Mallorca, and the brand’s yearly Sicily-set show, which always draws a starry crowd. Amal is seeing it through, and wore a full look from the spring 2026 runway. (Look 31, to be exact.)

Forgoing the familiar kaleidoscopic, jet-set Pucci prints, though, the lawyer and humanitarian opted for a red, black, orange, and pink beaded tank top and ultra mini skirt with daring thigh slits. On her feet, slouchy black boots with a graphic matching foldover. She styled the ensemble with a ruffled black east west bag and oversized sunglasses. Her brunette and caramel highlighted hair, as always, was long and voluminous.

George, the birthday boy beside her, stuck to his own slick style, wearing a black polo top, off-white pants with a beige belt, and sand suede loafers.

It’s probably the most daring look we’ve seen from Amal Clooney as of late. More often, she’s on a red carpet or working the room of a European gala in a vintage designer gown care of Galliano’s Dior or Versace, or step and repeating in a fishtail silhouette and extra-long train. But of recent, Clooney has been embracing the rising temperatures with something a little leggier. In New York last week for the Chaplin Award gala, she chose another fresh off the runway look from Balenciaga in the form of a grape-colored bubble mini-dress.

George’s birthday celebrations reached a peak at the legendary Club 55, with a sun-drenched lunch with friends in one of the French Riviera’s most iconic beach spots. The day previous—on Clooney’s actual birthday—the couple spent time on the ultra-exclusive, glamorous Île de Bendor, off the coast of Bandol.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bitcoin Falls to $79.6k as US-Iran Escalation Dents Risk Set for 6th Weekly Gain

0
Bitcoin price prediction shows potential volatility as it slides to $79,679 amidst geopolitical tensions. What's next for BTC?


Bitcoin price slid to $79,679 Friday as US military strikes against Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz triggered a broad risk-off prediction, yet the world’s largest crypto remains on track for a sixth consecutive weekly gain.

The 1.7% intraday drop looks alarming on the surface, but the weekly chart tells a quieter story. What happens at the weekend close could define whether BTC reclaims $85,000 or gives back the entire week’s advance.

The immediate catalyst: US forces struck back against Iran following attacks on three American warships transiting Hormuz, reigniting a geopolitical flashpoint that markets had largely priced out.

Compounding the pressure, Strategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR), the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, signaled it could sell portions of its holdings to fund dividend payments, though the scope and timing remain unspecified.

Despite the intraday weakness, BTC is still up approximately 3% on the week. The macro backdrop, institutional accumulation, improving US regulatory clarity, and residual post-ATH consolidation, remain broadly constructive heading into the weekend session.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC Price Reclaim $85,000 Before the Weekly Close?

Bitcoin is trading in one of the most important structural zones of this cycle, hovering around $80K while pressure builds between key support and resistance.

The broader setup remains constructive, but only as long as $79K continues holding as the primary daily support floor. That level is doing the heavy lifting right now.

As long as buyers defend it, the post-correction recovery remains intact, with $83K–$85K still functioning as the major upside target and mean reversion zone after October’s sharp pullback.

On-chain data continues to show accumulation rather than broad distribution, which suggests larger players are still absorbing supply at current levels instead of exiting positions.

Resistance overhead remains significant, and Bitcoin needs a decisive break above that $83K–$85K region before any larger breakout narrative gains real credibility.

Until then, the market is essentially coiling. If BTC maintains this structure, the path toward stronger continuation remains open, but a breakdown below $75K would materially weaken the setup and shift focus toward the $69K long-term trendline as the next serious support zone.

Volume conditions also matter here, especially with thinner weekend liquidity increasing the probability of exaggerated moves in either direction.

The honest reality is that Bitcoin still looks structurally stronger than weaker, but this is a conditional setup where support must hold.

Micron surges nearly 38% on week as memory chip rally goes parabolic

Micron Technology shares caught fire this week amid a global shortage of memory chips, with momentum driving the stock on surging enthusiasm across the semiconductor sector.

Shares surged more than 15% to close at $746.81 on Friday. The stock gained nearly 38% on the week, and it has surged almost 84% in the past month.

Micron notched its best week since December 2008, when it was trading below $5 a share in the wake of the Great Recession. The company’s market cap is currently above $840 billion, according to LSEG.

Micron Technology in the past five days

Micron isn’t alone among the chipmakers. Shares of AMD were up 26% on the week, touching a new 52-week high on Friday and bringing the company’s market cap above $740 billion.

Intel jumped 25% on the week and has more than doubled over the past month in a widely touted comeback for the CPU maker.

Demand for memory chips is emerging as the hallmark of the current phase of the AI buildout, driven by total capex from the hyperscalers that could surpass $1 trillion by the end of next year, according to Bank of America and Evercore.

While graphics processing units (GPUs) have been the hardware focus of the AI buildout so far, memory, storage and CPUs have been increasingly stealing the limelight.

Amid the shortage of memory chips, prices and margins for memory makers have been widening, while hyperscalers have bemoaned cost increases for end-user goods and services.

DRAM and NAND are the two types of memory that are most in demand. DRAM is faster and more finnicky while flash-based NAND is a bit slower and more reliable. Both are essential for AI processing.

Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix together produce more than 90% of the world’s DRAM, according to multiple equity research reports.

Like Micron, the South Korean memory chip makers have been on a tear. Samsung joined the trillion-dollar valuation club this week along with companies like Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft.

SK Hynix is fielding a host of offers from global tech firms who want to invest in new, memory-dedicated production lines to ramp up output, Reuters reported on Friday.

One pitch was an equipment financing deal from the the company’s customers related to ultraviolet lithography machines, the news agency reported.

“MU remains well positioned across the memory landscape with leading edge DRAM nodes helping drive cost-downs year-over-year, while NAND sees increasing layer counts drive better costs and increase wafer capacity,” Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh wrote in a research report this week.

Micron has been taking a bigger share of retail trading in general over the past few months, researchers say. Net buying picked up to its highest level in two years in mid-April, according to Vanda Research.

That comes even as overall stock-buying by retail investors in recent months has been slightly softer compared to the past few years, said Viraj Patel, strategist with Vanda in comments to CNBC on Friday. “So arguably, Micron is commanding a much bigger share of retail flow and attention,” he added.

Here is Yarbo’s promise to fix the robot mower that ran me over

0


I’m writing this directly because the issues raised in the recent security report deserve a direct response, not a corporate one.

On May 7, 2026, security researcher Andreas Makris published a detailed report identifying serious vulnerabilities in Yarbo’s remote diagnostic, credential management, and data-handling systems. The core technical findings are accurate. I would like to thank Mr. Andreas Makris for his work in identifying these issues and for his persistence in bringing them to our attention. I also recognize that our initial response did not adequately reflect the seriousness of the issues he identified. As co-founder, I’m accountable for what shipped on our products, and I’m accountable for the response.

Our engineering, product, legal, and customer support teams are working on remediation as the highest priority. What follows is my account of what was found, what we’ve already fixed, what we’re actively fixing, and what we’re committing to change in how we operate going forward.

Based on our preliminary review, the issues primarily relate to historical design choices in parts of Yarbo’s remote diagnostic, access management, and data handling systems.

Specifically, certain legacy support and maintenance capabilities did not provide users with sufficient visibility or control, and some authentication and credential management mechanisms did not meet the security standards we expect for today’s products.

We have also identified areas where access permissions, backend system configurations, and data flows between devices and cloud services require stronger protections and stricter controls.

We recognize the seriousness of these issues and the concerns they may have caused for our customers and community. We sincerely apologize for the impact this situation has created, and we are committed to addressing these issues in a transparent and responsible manner.

We are strengthening system security by reducing legacy access paths, tightening permissions, and moving toward fully auditable device-level credentials. To make our remediation progress clear, we are separating the actions already taken from the work that is currently in progress.

What We Have Already Done

We have temporarily disabled the relevant remote diagnostic tunnels to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

We have completed a reset of device root passwords to temporarily block the identified shared-credential risk and prevent further expansion of the issue.

We have closed or restricted certain unauthenticated status-query and reporting endpoints.

We have begun reducing unnecessary legacy access paths and tightening backend permissions.

What We Are Working On Now

We are implementing an allowlist-based, user-authorized, and auditable remote diagnostic model. The first phase is expected to be completed within one week. Once implemented, remote diagnostic access will be limited to authorized internal company personnel, may only be used after user authorization has been obtained, and will be gradually brought under audit logging.

We are using OTA updates to advance credential rotation and device-level independent credential mechanisms, gradually replacing the historical shared-password model. In the future, each device will use its own independent credentials to prevent one affected device from impacting the entire fleet.

We are building and testing a robot credential management service so that device passwords are no longer hardcoded in firmware, scripts, or databases. Instead, credentials will be dynamically derived based on device identity. OPS access will also record the visitor, reason for access, work order, and timestamp.

We are hardening other authentication services. These fixes are currently in the testing stage and will be released through upcoming OTA updates.

We are adjusting topic permissions to reduce fleet-level shared access, limit the scope of each credential, and establish stricter boundaries around control commands.

We are testing cleanup measures that include removing unnecessary reporting scripts, legacy cloud service dependencies, third-party agents, and non-essential DNS fallback configurations in order to reduce data flows that are not clearly visible to users. These changes will be rolled out through future OTA updates after testing is completed.

Historical servers and legacy access channels will continue to be phased out one by one as part of this remediation process.

We are also accelerating OTA security updates and additional server-side protections. The first wave of updates is expected to begin rolling out within one week. Important: A security firmware update is being pushed to all Yarbo devices. To receive this update, please connect your Yarbo to the internet. Once the update has been applied, you may return to your preferred network settings. If you prefer to keep your device offline in the meantime, you may do so without affecting your warranty or service coverage. We will notify you when the update is ready so you can connect briefly to apply it.

This remediation effort is not limited to a single fix or software update. We are using this process to strengthen the long-term security architecture and governance standards behind our products.

These efforts include strengthening access control standards, improving authentication and authorization models, increasing user visibility and control over remote diagnostic features, and further reducing unnecessary legacy support mechanisms across related systems and infrastructure.

We will also continue expanding our internal security review, remediation, and governance processes to support stronger long-term security practices going forward. Our goal is to ensure that security, transparency, and user trust are built into the foundation of future Yarbo systems and services.

Some items in the external report describe real security issues, while others require clarification because they do not apply to currently shipped Yarbo products or do not represent independent security vulnerabilities.

FRP Auto-Restart and Persistence

The report also mentions that the FRP client may restart through scheduled tasks or service recovery mechanisms. We acknowledge that this can make manual disabling of remote access channels more difficult, but the core issue lies in the existence, permissions, and policy of the remote tunnel itself. Our remediation focuses on disabling or restricting tunnels, introducing allowlisting and auditability, and removing unnecessary persistent remote access paths.

File Monitoring and Self-Recovery

The report mentions file monitoring behavior that can restore certain deleted files or services. This mechanism was originally designed as a defensive reliability measure to prevent critical service files from being accidentally deleted or corrupted. By itself, it was not intended to function as a remote access feature.

That said, we recognize that any mechanism making remote-access-related components difficult for users to remove can create trust concerns. We are reviewing which files should continue to be protected and which components should be removed, simplified, or placed under user control.

Historical or Non-Production Configurations

Some findings involve historical infrastructure, legacy cloud services, dealer-specific customizations, or internal test configurations. These remain under review and are being cleaned up where necessary, but they should be distinguished from the default behavior of currently shipped production units.

Our goal is to be precise: we will not minimize confirmed security issues, but we also want users to understand which findings apply to production devices, which apply only to historical or customized configurations, and which are being addressed as part of broader hardening efforts.

To improve security reporting in the future, we are launching a dedicated security response channel and security contact process for vulnerability reports and responsible disclosure:

security@yarbo.com

The public will also be able to find our security contact information on the Yarbo Security Center page under the “Explore” section of our official website.

We are also exploring the possibility of establishing a formal bug bounty program as part of our broader long-term security initiatives.

We appreciate the role independent security researchers play in responsibly identifying potential issues, and we remain committed to strengthening the security, transparency, and trustworthiness of our products.

As the investigation and remediation work continues, I will provide further updates as they become available.

XRP Price Could Start Another Rally: $7 Trillion Bank Announces Its Ripple Coin Investment

0
xrp logo


XRP price might be falling under its $1.40 support, but UBS, a Swiss banking giant managing $7 trillion in assets, has disclosed XRP exposure via a 13F filing with the SEC. The full scope of that filing reveals exactly which instruments the bank used, and why that distinction matters for price structure.

The bank accumulated 197,369 shares in the Volatility Shares XRP ETF and 317 shares in the Grayscale XRP Trust. Meanwhile, U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs have drawn over $1.3 billion in cumulative inflows in their first 50 days, with 29 consecutive days of positive flows and a single-day peak of $13.59 million.

To put this into perspective, XRP’s exchange balances are simultaneously sitting at six-year lows, compressing available supply just as demand accelerates.

XRP Price Could Finally Have Its Awaited Rally

XRP broke out of a multi-week range earlier this week. This has preceded continuation, but instead, it had a short-term rejection. RSI sits at just under 50, after nudging the overbought threshold days ago.

Immediate support, for now, rests at the current price and the 50-period SMA. On a bullish note, a Technical analysis based on a Wyckoff reaccumulation breakout is targeting the $2.60–$2.70 zone, with an interim supply clustered at $2.15–$2.16.

Xrp (XRP)
24h7d30d1yAll time

To resume its rally, XRP needs to hold above $1.35, to then clear $$1.50 resistance, and ride institutional inflows toward $2.60–$2.70. Standard Chartered maintains an $8 price target on regulatory clarity.

However, a close below $1.35 would neutralize the current breakout thesis and expose the $1.20 support zone.

Institutional catalysts, including major ETF inflows and bank disclosures, have historically acted as short-term price accelerants for XRP.

LiquidChain Does What XRP Can Only Dream

XRP’s institutional wave is real, but at the current price point, the asymmetric upside has compressed. Traders hunting for early-stage exposure before institutional re-rating are rotating attention toward infrastructure presales, where price discovery hasn’t yet occurred.

LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is a Layer 3 infrastructure project positioning as the cross-chain liquidity layer. It fuses Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment.

Liquid’s architecture centers on a Unified Liquidity Layer with Single-Step Execution, Verifiable Settlement, and a Deploy-Once structure that lets developers access all three ecosystems without redeployment overhead.

The presale price is currently $0.01457, with more than $700K raised to date. The project is approaching the $750,000 milestone, a threshold that has historically drawn secondary attention from retail aggregators.

Readers researching cross-chain infrastructure exposure at this stage can explore LiquidChain’s presale details here.

Strange Commercials Make Up Horror Movie

0


The best midnight movies conjure a community experience, pleasing audiences who want to see reactions to the insanity onscreen. While many touchstones of the genre consist of notoriously strange and subversive visions that are primed for indie theaters — “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “The Room,” the works of David Lynch — the rise of home video, cable and, eventually, the darkest corners of the internet recontextualized fandom to include friends who want to introduce each other to increasingly odd stories, or simply work best after a bong hit or two.

It’s risky to predict a future midnight movie classic, but the Canadian indie “Buffet Infinity” seems too strange to fail. Simon Glassman wrote and directed this feature-length story, which consists entirely of local advertisements from a small Alberta town that start normally, but things quickly feel … off. In between familiar-feeling, low-budget ads for lawyers and pawn shops, quirky commercials for a new restaurant called Buffet Infinity start running. Soon enough, local business Jenny’s Sandwich Shop starts running ads that take aim at the newcomer’s low prices, and their operations seem to be increasingly competitive — until local news reports reveal that Jenny is now a missing person. Meanwhile, a sinkhole downtown starts growing, and a cult leader starts warning about the end of the world, and things progress from there.

“Buffet Infinity” scratches the itch of Millennials raised on the eeriness of found media and the late-night vibe of Adult Swim programming. As the veil between fiction and reality slips, helped on by the break-the-fourth-wall nature of local TV, new segments get increasingly claustrophobic and tense as the audience is drawn into this nightmare world.

My first viewing of “Buffet Infinity” was at a crowded screening at this year’s genre-focused Overlook Film Festival, and it allowed murmurs of recognition and ripples of laughter to snake through the crowd. But the film, which is now available on digital via Yellow Veil Pictures, feels equally primed for at-home viewing, where pauses can allow for discussion, a quick read of an easter egg buried in small print, or even the chance to fetch a cheeseburger that seems worthy of Buffet Infinity itself.

Watch the “Buffet Infinity” trailer below.
