What happened
Collection of ZDNet consumer and developer stories with some security-relevant points: widespread workplace AI adoption (organizational risk/operational change), a Google Home update that fixes Gemini-related bugs (software/firmware reliability fixes), Chrome's new 'Skills' feature for saving AI prompts (data persistence and privacy risk), and several developer-focused items — Linux 7.0 bringing full Rust support (potential memory-safety improvements) and a finalized Linux kernel policy on AI-assisted code (supply-chain/code-quality implications). No specific vulnerability identifiers or CVE-C
