Safari

A tech publication argues that Safari's Notify Me feature, which alerts users when a product or page changes availability, relies on a check interval that is too slow to be genuinely useful. The piece contends that faster refresh cycles would make the tool far more practical for time-sensitive tasks like snagging limited stock or booking slots, and calls on Apple to shorten the delay between checks.

Apple's Safari Reader mode can display full article text before a site's soft paywall overlay finishes loading, letting readers access subscription-gated content without paying. The behaviour stems from how Reader strips page elements, pulling the underlying article body that sits beneath the paywall layer. The finding raises fresh questions for publishers who rely on client-side paywall enforcement, which has long been vulnerable to reader modes, ad blockers and quick page-source edits.

India's wildlife holidays are broadening beyond tiger safaris, with travellers increasingly seeking out other experiences such as birdwatching, marine life, and lesser-known parks and reserves, according to a report in The Times of India. The shift suggests tour operators and destinations are adapting itineraries to cater for visitors interested in more than spotting the country's famous big cat.

Cloudflare has opened anonymized speed data covering 10,000 top websites. The data shows Safari and iPhone visits in 46 countries load or respond at least 10% slower than Chrome-type browsers. More detailed sub-part data will be added to Cloudflare's dashboard in the coming weeks, letting site owners compare performance across browsers and devices.

Autonomous system number 141679, registered in Tianjin, China, was added to network scanning records on 29 September 2026. The listing is being shared among information security practitioners who track newly observed networks and infrastructure. Beyond the registration details, no information is given about who operates the network or what it hosts.

A newly registered network in Arezzo, Italy, operating under autonomous system number 49709, is being flagged in cybersecurity circles. Security researchers monitor newly announced ASNs closely, since fresh allocations can host previously unseen services and are often scanned for exposed systems, misconfigurations, and potential malicious activity shortly after going online.

Security researchers are flagging an internet-facing host registered to ASN 63949, a network range operated by Linode in Fremont, California, that was indexed on 29 September 2026. The finding circulated in information security circles under the shodansafari hashtag, where practitioners share and discuss newly exposed servers, open ports and misconfigured devices discovered through internet-wide scanning.

Autonomous system number 17511, located in Kyoto, Japan, was newly added to internet-wide scanning databases on 29 September 2026. Information security practitioners flagged the addition as part of ongoing efforts to map exposed devices and services, a routine but closely watched step for spotting newly reachable networks and potential attack surface in Japanese address space.

Autonomous System 8075, the network operated by Microsoft, was observed announcing IP address space located in Oslo, Norway. The observation was logged and shared on 25 September 2026 with the cybersecurity community under the tag #shodansafari. This type of sighting is used by security researchers to track how large cloud and technology providers extend their network presence into new regions and data centre locations.
