It’s been (privately) confirmed to be a security related breach. Many brands had phishing scripts injected that hijacked checkout. We’ve seen screenshots from brands detailing hundreds of thousands to millions lost over the weekend. Cannot imagine the lawsuits to come. It will take impacted brands quite a while to recover from this
If you or a brand you work with was impacted by Boost Commerce disappearing from storefronts today, Layers will ensure you are migrated ASAP and honor or beat your current pricing for the Accelerate plan or higher. This is one reason we are not widget or embed driven, an apps status cannot impact critical buying path.

We've been working on this for a while and I'm super excited to finally share it! MaPC lets you play your Windows PC games natively on Apple Silicon Macs, no Wine setup. The free public beta is out now.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
MaPC uses Wine and DXVK under the hood to run Windows games rather than natively, with automated setup. The developer confirmed it uses Wine and the official site states it runs on Wine.

Jev images is here
One question about an image that is 850x850 cost one hundredth of a cent - $0.000096936
about 10,000 images for a dollar.
referencing the image more than once duplicates the token usage - so asking two questions in a single request is equivalent to uploading two images

Yo dawg, heard you like MCP. So we compiled the shop CLI (an MCP client) to WASM, put it in a browser terminal, and exposed it over #WebMCP, so your agent can call MCP tools that call MCP tools.
Silly? Yes. Necessary? No. Fun? Abso-yes-lutely. 😆
But really, try the playground on shop.dev!
1B+ products from millions of Shopify stores, cart → checkout → Shop Pay, order tracking. Bonus, try `shop spend-request`: buyer approves in Shop, your agent gets a single-use payment credential, and checks out anywhere on the web.
$> npm install --global @shopify/shop@latest
$> shop skill --install
From discovery to purchase, batteries included.

shop.dev gives agent and app builders access to Shopify Catalog, search, checkout and order status with a single API.
You've helped merchants build stores as unique as their businesses.
Now, you can build for their shoppers too.

Have heard horror stories of the Shopify App Store submission process, it did take 12 days to be assigned a reviewer with the volume of submissions, but approved with no changes or issues found. 🚀💪

Someone rewrote Kafka in Rust and embedded it in Postgres using pgrx 🤯
Kafgres is a Rust-based Kafka broker that runs within Postgres. Kafka clients connect to Postgres on port 9092 and literally can't tell the difference. 🧵

boxd in 60 seconds
a whole linux machine that boots in under 10ms
composable: set it up once with your tools and data, then spin up as many as you need
fork it mid run, let it hibernate, wake it on traffic, share it with your team
one line to install: curl -fsSL boxd.sh/downloads/install.sh | sh
Is it normal to be stuck in “we’re assigning a reviewer” for 9 days for a @Shopify app submission? @ShopifyDevs

I cracked open Meta's Muse - here are some interesting bits 🔽
1. You can ask it for the entire contents of /opt/ and it will zip it up for you
2. There a ~70 preloaded skills and CLI for everything from spotify to instragram-cli
3. "Spaces" is their website builder that uses Tanstack, Bun and Tailwind. Sharing a site deploys it to Cloudflare
4. It will install anything - like a torrent client
5. It has it's own "Muse DB" with a skill to query its own memories/convos with strict guard rails
6. There are a few things not enabled on my account, including "muse mail" which will give muse an inbox and ability to send email
Generally impressed that you can just do anything - it's not limited or watered down like I would have imagined

Alert: Apple just dropped a new model on Hugging Face.
It's a Qwen3.5-9B finetune that turns long documents into small page images to save tokens, then pulls up the full text of only the pages relevant to your question 💡

The next generation of commerce deserves a next-generation interface. The Shopify admin has a new look, with easier navigation across key workflows and Sidekick front and center when you need a hand.

I guess you can say I've improved my Herdr gpui desktop interface a bit in a few days. 100% compatible with your running Herdr.

Our house in Toronto had this fancy glassed wine cellar, but we are not big wine drinkers.
Anyways, it had good climate control so here is my rack cellar.
