00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,0080
 Welcome to Global Glow presents Long Level Debug, a show about news and stuff and things

2
00:00:09,0080 --> 00:00:14,420
 in the technology world, presented by GlobalGlob.dev, the hard-hitting news site for software

3
00:00:14,420 --> 00:00:23,280
 development, IT, and general technology recorded live Monday, August 10th, 2026, and I am a Microsoft MVP.

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,280
 

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,800
 But please don't tell anyone at Microsoft about this show.

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,640
 We make fun of that company a ton, and I don't want this to be the reason I'm kicked out

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,640
 of the program.

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,680
 Now, let's get into all the news we logged over the past week, with links in the show notes.

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,560
 Cloudflare held one of their week of announcements, this one called Agents Week, where they announced

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,200
 a bunch of A.I.-related cloud services for their platform.

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,000
 They announced Cloudflare Agents, a service to trace and observe your agents, to know what

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,840
 they're up to, and to know when they're slacking off and not working. Like the lazy humans

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,840
 the agents replaced.

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,840
 They also announced WriteGuard, an authentication service for MCPs, so you can stop agents from

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,000
 doing things they're not supposed to do. Like the bad humans the agents replaced.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,760
 KiteSurf, a web browser for agents.

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,280
 Because everyone gets bored and just wants to open Fark.com, like the slacker humans the

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200
 agents replaced.

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,360
 And wallets, a service to let your agents use money, like paying for monthly subscriptions.

20
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,560
 Like the subscription to Total Fark, the useless humans were always using.

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,640
 Cloudflare also had a number of non-A.I. announcements, probably because they didn't have enough content

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,440
 to announce for a full week.

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,640
 There were some technical improvements to their Workers service, so cool, table stakes, I guess.

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,640
 

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,280
 A new CI/CD platform, just to rub salt in the wounds of everyone still using GitHub Actions.

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,920
 And a program to celebrate Cloudflare Ambassadors and Community Engineers.

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,960
 It's a program similar to AWS heroes and Microsoft MVPs, and I got to say, it's nice to

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,920
 see Cloudflare growing up as a real cloud provider and acknowledging the many people doing

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,880
 free advertising work for them with a program that lets those people put a little badge next

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200
 to their name on the internet.

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,400
 If this many A.I. announcements doesn't bore you, you can read all of Cloudflare's announcements

32
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,800
 on their blog site.

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,640
 And if they do bore you, you can read all of the announcements on their blog site to help

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,600
 you fall asleep.

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,0080
 It's a little better than reading a standards document.

36
00:02:24,0080 --> 00:02:29,240
 The search engine company DuckDuckGo has announced a competitor product to MetaGlasses designed

37
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,640
 by the company Knockaround.

38
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:38,440
 Called DuckDuckGo Paso Robles, the glasses feature infinite hours on a charge, zero cameras,

39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,960
 zero A.I. agents, and full UV 400 protection. Plus they look kind of cool.

40
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,720
 If you haven't figured it out, they're just regular non-smart sunglasses.

41
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,480
 So thank you DuckDuckGo for reminding us that there are alternatives to the expensive

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,720
 glasses being sold by tech companies these days.

43
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,880
 You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on MetaGlasses, or Oakley A.I. glasses, or an

44
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,800
 Apple Vision Pro set.

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,440
 You can cheap out with a less sophisticated option, like everyone who chooses Android

46
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,760
 phones instead of an iPhone, or worse, an Android tablet instead of an iPad, or double

47
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,800
 worse, a Chromebook instead of a Mac.

48
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,920
 It's being reported that the manufacturing capacity of computer memory for 2027 has

49
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:24,920
 all been sold.

50
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:28,880
 Manufacturers know how much memory they are capable of making in the year, and every last

51
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:34,200
 bit of memory they will be able to make in 2027 has been sold to device manufacturers

52
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,760
 to included laptops, servers, phones, and also, etc.

53
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,720
 Companies usually secure their memory allotments in July or August for the next year, so

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,200
 that part is normal, but the abnormal normal part is that it's all sold out.

55
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,760
 Global supply is strained because of the A.I. gold rush, and companies need it for data centers.

56
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,760
 

57
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,520
 So the next time you're not able to purchase memory because it's too expensive,

58
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,000
 thank Oracle.

59
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,200
 And all the other companies too, but we haven't hated on Oracle in a while.

60
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,200
 That's my fault.

61
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
 We'll try to do that more often.

62
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,200
 This week a SpaceX rocket crashed into the moon at over 5,000 miles per hour.

63
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,400
 Which is roughly 6,000 kilometers per hour.

64
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,640
 There were no survivors.

65
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,800
 Security researchers have found three different vulnerabilities in Google's synced passkey system.

66
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,560
 While passkeys are way more secure than user-generated passwords, there will always be ways to 

67
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,560
 attack any system.

68
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,200
 In this case, the researchers found vulnerabilities in the way passkey handling is implemented.

69
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,480
 Like the insecure location Google Chrome stores the passkeys on Windows devices, or how in some

70
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,120
 cases, the passkeys can be overwritten without user intervention.

71
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,160
 Thankfully, these are only problems in Google's implementation.

72
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,280
 So it only affects a crap ton of people.

73
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:55,320
 If you're using passkeys, awesome, keep doing that.

74
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,160
 But you should be using them with a dedicated password manager application.

75
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000
 This segment sponsored by, well, no one.

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,600
 Hey, 1Password.

77
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,840
 If you want to sponsor us, we'd say really good things about you right here.

78
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,280
 Our viewership doesn't hit Troy Hunt numbers, but it's better than zero.

79
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,680
 Most weeks.

80
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240
 And that's all the news that happened this week.

81
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,760
 If we didn't talk about it, it's not in the logs.

82
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,840
 If you watched the video, please like and subscribe.

83
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:28,240
 And if you listen to the audio only podcast, please leave a review somewhere, preferably

84
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,840
 not in Spanish.

85
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,920
 Three years on and Duolingo lessons just aren't sticking for me.

86
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,320
 If you enjoyed the show, tell your friends.

87
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,640
 And if you didn't, tell your in-laws. For more news before the next episode, remember to

 visit globalglob.dev for hard-hitting news technology professionals really care about.

89
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:51,0040
 Log level debug next.

90
00:05:51,0040 --> 00:05:54,360
 I screwed that up at the end!

91
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,960
 Until next time, go twiddle some bits.

92
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,960
