Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the Internet, then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection.

These are the daily tech headlines for Friday, May 29, 2026. I'm Sarah Lane. Blue Origin's new Glenn Rocket exploded during a static fire test in Florida on Thursday, and Ars Technica notes the fallout will be severe. The blast appears to have significantly damaged Blue Origin's only New Glenn launch pad, likely delaying launches for at least a year. It's a big setback for Blue Origin. New Glenn was supposed to ramp to nearly monthly launches for customers including NASA and Amazon. The failure also threatens Blue Origin's lunar lander program, Blue Moon Mark 1, which NASA plan to use for Artemis missions. With United Launch Alliance's Vulcan also sidelined, there is even greater Reliance now on SpaceX for US heavy lift launches and moon missions. Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8, the latest version of its flagship model, just 41 days after Opus 4.7. Anthropic says 4.8 is better at handling uncertainty and is more likely to flag questionable inputs or unsupported claims. A new research preview feature called Dynamic Workflows lets Claude coordinate hundreds of parallel AI agents on large tasks like code based wide migrations. Reuters said it spoke to current and former Tesla employees involved in training full self driving that say they don't trust the system or the company's claims that it's up to 10 times safer than human drivers. Workers described regularly seeing failures involving pedestrians, animals, school buses, emergency vehicles, speeding and other basic driving scenarios, with some saying the technology remains far from being able to operate safely at scale. Reuters also found Tesla's safety statistics rely on flawed comparisons that researchers call misleading, like comparing Tesla crash data to broader federal crash figures and not accounting for vehicle age. California sued 23andMe over a data breach back in 2023, alleging the company failed to protect genetic data tied to nearly 7 million people. Attorney General Rob Bonta says 23andMe ignored known cybersecurity risks, missed warning signs before stolen data appeared on the dark Web, and then later misled customers about the breach. The exposed information included DNA data, health reports and relative details. Waymo is now offering rides in its sixth generation robo taxi, the Ojai, to select riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. It's built by Zeekr in China. Ojai is Waymo's first purpose built autonomous taxi and is much cheaper to scale. It cuts Sensor count by 42% and costs about $125,000 per vehicle, versus roughly 200,000 for the Jaguar I Pace it replaces. Waymo is looking to expand to 1 million weekly rides by the end of the year, but the China based manufacturing angle is getting some scrutiny with Waymo also has competitors like Tesla and Zoox. Mediatek says it's working with intel on advanced chip packaging, expanding beyond its longtime partnership with TSMC this gives Mediatek access to packaging technologies from both leading manufacturers, something it says few chip designers can offer customers. Mediatek is betting that more manufacturing flexibility and advanced packaging will help its next stage of growth in the AI chip market. Speaking of chips, BYD unveiled a new suite of EV tech, including what it says is China's most powerful chip for self driving vehicles. Chinese EV market has plenty of competition, particularly from Huawei, Xpeng and Xiaomi. The new BY chip is meant to boost assisted driving capabilities and advanced vehicle software. And finally today, a leaked internal memo seen by Business Insider suggests that Disney plans to shut down Hulu's standalone app after migrating its content and features into Disney plus potentially by the end of 2026. Disney previously said Hulu would continue operating as a separate app. The company is still expected to keep offering standalone Hulu subscriptions and bundle options. The memo also says Hulu has seen limited new development internally.
