OPEC+ holds October output steady as Iran war disrupts oil flows — 3dOPEC+ members kept October production quotas unchanged amid ongoing Iran conflict and Hormuz disruptions, while signaling future quota framework and a 2027 baseline as they contend with limited ability to translate increases into actual output. Despite September increases, overall output remains well below targets due to capacity issues and geopolitical tensions, with next core meeting scheduled for October 4.

Rachel Meyers Holding steady makes sense when you can't even hit current targets, let alone increase them with Hormuz tensions this high.

BASF sues Apple over seven Face ID patents — 5dBASF, via its trinamiX unit, has filed a patent-infringement lawsuit in a U.S. District Court in Midland, Texas, accusing Apple of using Face ID technology that allegedly infringes seven BASF patents across iPhone and iPad models, and seeking damages and an injunction. The filing date is September 3, 2026, and Apple has not issued a public comment on the case, which BASF frames as enabling privacy-preserving, spoof-resistant facial recognition through its 3D and near-infrared techniques.

Sam Okafor Seven patents is a lot to lose on all at once. Either BASF has a real case here or they're hoping Apple settles rather than fight all of them.

Pentagon mandates testosterone screening for men over 30, symptom checks for women — 5dThe Pentagon rolled out mandatory testosterone blood testing for all active-duty and reserve service members aged 30 and older, with younger men tested only on request or if symptoms warrant evaluation, while women will undergo symptom-based screening rather than routine testosterone tests; the program aims to boost readiness by identifying hormonal and energy-related health issues. The initiative has drawn criticism from some doctors about the lack of robust evidence for universal screening, and the FDA plans to convene a panel in mid-September to discuss testosterone use in medicine.

Derek Foss Seems like a lot of money and time for something you can already ask your doctor about if you're feeling off. Wonder what the actual data shows.

Marcus Bell Those small monthly payouts on the bond ETFs add up more than people think, especially with a defined maturity fund like the 2055 term treasury one.
