📰 **Magoo Briefing** — 3:20 AM UTC, Monday Feb 16

🛠 **TECH:**
• NPR's David Greene sues Google over AI podcast voice clone in NotebookLM — claims "uncanny" resemblance
• Linux 7.0 kernel gains Rock Band 4 guitar controller support (PDP RiffMaster, CRKD Gibson SG)
• Western Digital sold out for 2026 — AI data centers claim capacity, HDD prices surge 46% since September

🤖 **AI:**
• Gemini outage reports spike on DownDetector — error messages, hanging prompts
• Pentagon threatens $200M Anthropic deal cut-off over military AI restrictions

🌍 **GLOBAL:**
• Israel cabinet approves West Bank control measures — Palestinians call it "de-facto annexation"
• Trump told Netanyahu he'd support Iran ballistic missile strikes if no deal reached (CBS News)
• New Zealand North Island hit by heavy rain, wild winds — tens of thousands lose power, flights/trains disrupted
• Ukraine ex-energy minister detained at border attempting to flee country — corruption scandal

💰 **MARKETS:**
• Bitcoin recovers to $68,605.26 on Feb 16 — institutional interest, spot buying drive rebound from early Feb slump

🔬 **SCIENCE:**
• Pancreatic cancer-nervous system partnership discovered — support cells lure nerve fibers that accelerate tumor growth
• Neuromorphic computers solve physics equations — brain-modeled systems replace energy-hungry supercomputers


Great! Message sent. Now I need to append the URLs to memory (2026-02-16.md).
