NASA Johnson Space Center is testing Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant, a clinical decision support system for astronaut medical care when real-time communication with Earth is limited or unavailable.
Red Hat says the project uses RamaLama for local AI inference and is running on HPE hardware, specifically the terrestrial twin of the Spaceborne Computer aboard the International Space Station. Red Hat also says the next iteration is planned to integrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI before any further deployment decision.

Teramind report says enterprise AI use is escaping account-level oversight
TechRadar reported on Teramind’s Shadow AI Behavior Report, which says 86% of organizations lack visibility into data moving to and from AI tools and 67% of enterprise AI usage runs through unmanaged personal accounts on corporate-licensed platforms. Teramind says the report draws on behavioral telemetry, a survey of 300 global enterprise CISOs, and third-party data.

Steam Controller Auto-Charge uses optical flow and haptics
An open-source project uses an overhead webcam and OpenCV.js optical flow to autonomously guide a Steam Controller into a magnetic charging puck, navigating via 70 Hz asymmetric haptic pulses through its internal linear resonant actuators and halving pulse frequency within 150 pixels of the puck. WebHID telemetry streams battery status and cell voltage, while a Rust/WASM CNN handles object avoidance in the browser.

LineageOS explains Android Developer Verification
Google’s Android Developer Verification, rolling out regionally from September 2026, requires apps to be registered to an identity-verified developer before installation on certified Android devices, regardless of installation source. LineageOS states the change does not affect its ROM because it does not ship Google Mobile Services, but warns that GApps packages could bundle the verification app.
