On April 22nd, when Bambu first reached out to Paweł Jarczak in a Reddit private message, its tone seemed polite. Bambu suggested it was warning Jarczak of upcoming changes that could prevent his code from working. The first DM concludes: “we kindly ask you to consider removing the current connection approach, as it mimics official Bambu Lab software.”

Jarczak replied that he was ready to remove his entire project from GitHub and thanked the company for noticing his work. But he wanted to be “properly acknowledged” for possibly revealing “a significant security gap.” He offered further help for a fix while requesting some gear — specifically the flagship H2D printer.

But Bambu was not ready to reward or recognize him for promoting ways to use unauthorized third-party software and hardware that competes with its own. (Jarczak’s previous project was supporting a cheaper way to print in multiple colors than buying Bambu’s $279 AMS Lite, a project he’s since suggested Bambu should also recognize him for.)

Ominously, Bambu started talking to Jarczak like a mobster: “We wanted to speak with you first and handle this in a constructive way. That said, we can’t allow this approach to continue.”

But Bambu didn’t sue. It didn’t send a cease and desist letter. It didn’t even send a DMCA takedown to remove his files from GitHub. Jarczak voluntarily took his code down. But in that code’s place, Jarczak left a note suggesting that Bambu treated him like a criminal.

That’s when the internet pounced.

Today, Google unveiled the designs and AI functionality of the first pairs of its audio glasses, which are coming this fall.

Just after Google's I/O 2026 keynote, a few things in particular stuck out to The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel.

Google is expanding what its Flow AI tool can do, allowing users to "vibe code any creative tool you can think of." Users of Google Flow Music can now have more precise tracking, change style of songs, and create music videos. What do the musicians in the crowd think?

Here's another look at Google's new Gemini Omni model, used in tandem with a new agent in Google Flow.

Gemini for MacOS launched earlier this year, and as announced at Google I/O, it will soon feature the OpenClaw-like AI coding platform Gemini Spark.

Google is launching a new generative AI tool that helps developers swiftly turn rough UI ideas into functional, app-ready designs.

The Gemini 2.5 Pro-powered “Stitch” experiment is available on Google Labs and can turn text prompts and reference images into “complex UI designs and frontend code in minutes,” according to the announcement during Google’s I/O event, sparing developers from manually creating design elements and then programming around them.
