Researchers and students gain access to enterprise-grade accelerated computing, NVIDIA AI software and open models through Indosat’s sovereign GPU Merdeka platform.
Agentic Ship is an MIT-licensed open-source toolkit that turns the rules, design and backend conventions, connection and go-live gates built into hosted AI builders like Lovable, Bolt, v0, and Replit into a toolkit you own and drop into your own workspace, driven by the coding agent you already pay for. This article covers installation, the stack, how it compares to hosted builders, and who it's for.
Install with a single npx command, with flags for --force, --merge, and --dry-run; also installs as a plugin in Claude Code or Codex.
Pins a specific stack (Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Convex, Better Auth, Stripe, etc.) and gates every completion with pnpm verify.
A hands-on look at Snowflake Volunteer, a new Android app that turns your phone into a Tor proxy with no technical knowledge required. ZDNET tested setup, controls, battery drain, and real-world impact.

It requires no technical expertise and offers controls for charging-only, Wi-Fi-only, background use, and up to five simultaneous connections.
OpenAI is rolling out Computer History to ChatGPT's Mac app for Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. The opt-in feature records app and website interactions, builds a timeline, and lets you use those activities in ChatGPT and Codex conversations. While it offers controls like excluding specific apps and clearing history, OpenAI warns that the files are not encrypted and may contain sensitive information.

GitHub Agent Apps bring tools like Amplitude, Endor Labs, LaunchDarkly, and PagerDuty directly into GitHub, so developers can validate a feature, review dependencies, roll out safely, and assess deployment risk without switching contexts. Using an onboarding change as an example, the post shows how agents can answer key questions across the SDLC while keeping humans in the loop.
GitHub Agent Apps let you interact with services like Amplitude, Endor Labs, LaunchDarkly, and PagerDuty from within issues, PR comments, and the Agents tab.
The agents turn product analysis, dependency review, flag creation, and deploy risk assessment into conversational, in-context actions.
