Michael Moore did gun control. Al Gore did global warming. Now an independent film company is tackling the next pressing issue of our age: Internet pornography. On Monday, Living Biographies announced the release of their latest documentary, “Traffic Control: The People’s War on Internet Porn.”

The film will cover the ease of access to Internet pornography and what can be done to regulate it. According to the company, the film was compiled from more than 200 hours of interview footage with adult entertainment sellers, ex-porn stars, psychological experts, business owners, technologists, Internet porn addicts, educators, members of the Free Speech Coalition, and hundreds of teenagers.

Coverage of regulation efforts will center on Ralph Yarro’s CP80 Internet Channel Initiative which aims to categorize the Internet into “channels.” According to Yarro in  a press release, “The CP80 Internet Channel Initiative takes advantage of the existing infrastructure of the Internet to categorize online content into two port ranges or channels: Community Ports for general purpose material and Open Ports for adult content."

Traffic Control will be released directly to DVD, although the company is organizing screenings nationwide.

I previously covered the new Apple Home AI features revealed at WWDC 2026, which include several quality-of-life improvements, including auto-updating notifications, smarter camera search, automatic tracking and stitching of multiple videos for a single event, and higher-resolution recordings, among others. 

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.

Apple's decision to design its own chips reshaped the consumer electronics industry. Amazon may be about to make the same call, just about two decades later.

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Amazon is preparing to shift away from externally sourced processors for its consumer electronics lineup, marking what he describes as the company's first major processor procurement change in 20 years. The transition is expected to begin in 2027.
