    Crab Pots

    This week's roundup features a mix of personal updates, major tech news, and scientific intrigue. Eric is super late to the Minecraft party while Jon gets his bushes trimmed. In tech, a massive WhatsApp security flaw exposed data for up to 3.5 billion users, while Google announced the release of Gemini 3 Pro and the new "Deep Think" reasoning mode. Cybersecurity concerns also rose with the global spread of the TamperedChef malware, delivered via malvertising and fake software installers. On the innovation front, MIT researchers developed a new lipid nanoparticle that dramatically enhances the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines, promising cost savings and better seasonal flu shots. Finally, in a fascinating natural observation, a wild gray wolf in British Columbia was documented using a buoy line to haul a crab trap ashore, potentially marking the first documented tool use by a wild canid. This summary of today's podcast brought to you (mostly) by Gemini 3. 0:00 - Introduction 9:10 - Nanoparticle mRNA 12:36 - Gemini 3 17:24 - Tampered Chef 22:48 - Nanoparticle mRNA 26:48 - Smart Wolves
