Declan would never have found out his therapist was using ChatGPT had it not been for a technical mishap. The connection was patchy during one of their online sessions, so Declan suggested they turn off their video feeds. Instead, his therapist began inadvertently sharing his screen.
“Suddenly, I was watching him use ChatGPT,” says Declan, 31, who lives in Los Angeles. “He was taking what I was saying and putting it into ChatGPT, and then summarizing or cherry-picking answers.”

About two years ago, security researchers James Rowley and Mark Omo got curious about a scandal in the world of electronic safes: Liberty Safe, which markets itself as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” had apparently given the FBI a code that allowed agents to open a criminal suspect’s safe in response to a warrant related to the January 6, 2021, invasion of the US Capitol building.
Politics aside, Rowley and Omo were taken aback to read that it was so easy for law enforcement to penetrate a locked metal box—not even an internet-connected device—that no one but the owner ought to have the code to open. “How is it possible that there’s this physical security product, and somebody else has the keys to the kingdom?” Omo asks.
So they decided to try to figure out how that backdoor worked. In the process, they’d find something far bigger: another form of backdoor intended to let authorized locksmiths open not just Liberty Safe devices, but the high-security Securam Prologic locks used in many of Liberty’s safes and those of at least seven other brands. More alarmingly, they discovered a way for a hacker to exploit that backdoor—intended to be accessible only with the manufacturer’s help—to open a safe on their own in seconds.
When travel reporter Zach Griff checked into The Pell, a JDV by Hyatt property in Rhode Island, he expected a relaxing stay with his wife and 9-month-old daughter. Unfortunately, he left on a sour note after the hotel charged him a $500 smoking fee following his stay.
The problem? Griff says he’s never smoked a day in his life, let alone in a hotel room while staying there with his family.
Griff, a senior reporter at The Points Guy, took his story public on social media after the hotel allegedly charged him the $500 fee based on readings from an air quality sensor. The sensor data was supplied by a third-party company called Rest, which claims hotels can easily collect fees from smoking events.
Reminds me of this skit from please don’t destroy
Thanks Romania! This is smart and sensible law.
Ticketmaster wants you to know it’s “all in” on up-front pricing. In a blog post published on Monday, the company triumphantly declared that it’s “putting fans first” and including fees in the first price you see for a ticket. Not mentioned in Ticketmaster’s announcement: An FTC rule requiring that exact change just so happened to take effect today.

Previous titles from rockstar like RDR2 and GTA 5 were also delayed
That would be lovely. One of the things holding up back linux is lack of good creative software. For example things like video editing or image post processing.
I very much like the UWP version and prefer it over the desktop version
It’s a shame they are killing it
This goes to show that Microsoft is completely pulling the plug on first class touch support for their products to support surface devices. Since Panos Panay left Microsoft, surface devices have been losing what makes them special.
The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump’s political opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine–not Russia–was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.[4][5]

Trump hates Zelenskyy and Ukraine. There is no finding common ground with him.
It was very clear from the Trump’s first term when he withheld aid from Ukraine unless Zelenskyy took blame for the hacking that Russia did.
Why aren’t republicans telling Putin to resign? Putin is the one who started the war.
Looks like this:
Key to its success is Xiaomi’s LaserLink technology. This is a proprietary optical communication module, apparent as a small dot on the back of the phone and the lens where data is transferred as light (near-infrared laser) at speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
The lens has two pins that connect on the back to draw power from the phone
The price hike is happening in March when the tariffs are coming
US is offering nothing to Ukraine, no NATO, no more weapons, no more aid, no security guarantees, etc.
What are they even negotiating?
Yuck. Match group needs to be disbanded. It’s insane that they own all the dating apps.
I’m hoping for a mobile phone but based on the hints I think it will be a mobile gaming device
