Dead Airline Still Taking Bookings, Chrome's Secret AI Download & The Hackable Killer Lawn Mower

Spirit Airlines shut down on May 2nd but nobody turned anything off. A security researcher discovered the entire booking system is still running, still taking personal details, and still attempting payment transactions for flights that will never exist. Google Chrome has been silently downloading a 4GB AI model onto your computer without consent, and if you delete it, it comes back. And a $5,000 robot lawn mower can be hijacked by anyone on the internet, including overriding the emergency stop button. It phones home to TikTok's parent company.
