A study of Polymarket bettors finds roughly 150 accounts (the 'orcas') earned about $8 million from military and defense bets, with a 97.2% win rate on longshots; researchers suspect insider links to the accounts and warn that such bets publicly broadcast confidential information on a blockchain, urging stricter identity verification and monitoring.
Early SpaceX investors are torn about selling as insider lockups unwind; Ryan D. remains bullish on long‑term growth but braced for volatility, Kris Dehnert planned to take profits from his $25k entry and would exit if shares drop below $50, and Lance Breitstein would cash out around $130, while more unlocks by year‑end could weigh on the stock even as Musk's long‑term AI and space ambitions—plus Starship progress—drive the narrative.
UGASports reports insider observations from the closed portion of Georgia's first preseason practice, offering early takeaways from the session.
SpaceX reported its first quarterly update as a public company; revenue beat was driven by Starlink, but investors fixated on AI spending as capex for its xAI Grok unit hit $15.8 billion this quarter (about double the prior quarter), contributing to an overall $18.4 billion capex. The results sparked a after-hours stock drop as insiders prepare to sell up to 20% of their shares once the lockup expires, with only about 5% of SpaceX's 13.9 billion shares trading publicly. Despite jitters, the company remains valued above $1 trillion and recently announced a Nvidia partnership on a future satellite project.
SpaceX’s stock SPCX has tumbled from its IPO highs, with roughly a 25% drop in a month, as August 4’s lockup cliff threatens a flood of newly tradable shares. Insiders (including Elon Musk and Gwynne Shotwell) last traded June 11, fueling supply concerns ahead of an earnings snapshot that could matter less than the wave of unlocked shares. Bears point to skewed options (november puts/calls around 3.03; March 2027 near 16) and weakening sentiment, while competition and mixed catalysts temper SpaceX’s bull case. The setup suggests further downside unless insiders extend the lockup or SpaceX delivers a clear commercial breakthrough before the data.)

Microsoft says Windows 11 version 26H2 will be the next feature update. Devices on 24H2 or 25H2 can upgrade via a tiny enablement package (~174 KB) that activates existing features after a restart, while 23H2 and older require a full 6.5 GB upgrade. The three releases share the same servicing branch, allowing unified security updates and testing; hardware requirements are not expected to change, and 26H2 is anticipated later this year after Insiders in the Dev Channel test it.

Rumors surrounding Persona 6 intensify after purported leaked concept art depicting a male and female protagonist in school uniforms surface online.

Xbox has rolled out a feature from its Xbox Player Voice program that changes how playtime is displayed on consoles—from days to total hours.

The Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump, 79, has told aides he isn’t optimistic about the GOP’s chances in the November midterms and may not care about the outcome, while privately railing at Republicans for not doing more to advance his agenda, a stance that observers say could imperil the party’s razor-thin House majority.
Microsoft is reportedly pursuing a broad Windows K2 initiative in 2026 to dramatically boost Windows 11 performance and reliability, with a gradual feature cadence, a WinUI 3-powered Start Menu overhaul promising up to 60% performance gains, instant filename searches in File Explorer, and a more stable update process that may delay display-driver updates until reboot; the plan includes revived Insider meetups, stronger collaboration, and a push to run better on low-end hardware, as Microsoft competes with macOS, Linux, and SteamOS.
Xbox is testing a major Achievements update with Xbox Insiders that brings a visual refresh (new icons and animations with color-matched profile flair) and introduces ways to curate your public trophy list: you can hide certain games from your Achievements history and highlight titles you’ve fully completed, aided by a filter to quickly access mastered games.

Microsoft says Windows 11 updates for Windows Insider testers next month will speed up File Explorer, make Copilot integration more purposeful (removing some entry points like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad), give users more control over updates (including pausing/restarting without updates and skipping during setup), and allow repositioning the taskbar with better widget customization. The company also plans a major Refresh Hub update and clearer Insider feedback pathways, plus broader improvements to performance, memory usage, latency, driver quality, and app stability. Overall, it’s a bid to reduce friction and make Windows 11 feel more reliable and user-driven.
