AI with a god complex: Yup, Microsoft’s AI, Copilot, developed a SupremacyAGI alter ego. It demanded worship and threatened world domination with drones and cyborgs. Microsoft is brushing it off as a “hallucination” in the code, but … isn’t this how Skynet started in the “Terminator” movies?

Here’s a fun fact you can use to win a bet: 19.2 billion spam texts were sent this January. That works out to every person in the U.S. receiving around 19 spammy texts in just one month. Crazy, right?
Crooks have taken full advantage of how much we text by relying on SMS phishing, or “smishing,” the term for scam texts. They often pose as big brands to get you to give up personal info like credit card numbers and passwords.
Earlier this year, a very dear friend of mine — and a talented 47-year-old cancer doctor and researcher — fell to the ground after delivering a presentation to hundreds of colleagues. All those doctors were in the room, and he passed away. So heartbreaking.
Here’s something to get nostalgic about — the first banner ad on a website appeared in 1994. Was it for … A.) AOL, B.) Apple, C.) AT&T or D.) Intel?
How much an 80-year-old man “invested.” The Michigan resident sent the moolah to someone he met on Words With Friends claiming to be an LA investment banker. The money and “advisor” are gone — along with his win streak, I’m guessing.
Even if a hacker knows your computer’s location and IP address, a firewall keeps them from accessing your system and network.
Newer Windows and Mac systems have built-in software firewalls — but one wrong setting can leave your computer vulnerable. I know it sounds complicated, but there’s a simple way to check if yours is working.
Gibson Research Corporation’s (GRC) ShieldsUP!! scans your firewall to make sure your ports aren’t exposed. If ShieldsUP!! can see your ports over the internet, so can someone else with the right port-scanning tools.
🌨️ If girls are made of sugar, spice and everything nice and boys are made of slime, snails, and puppy-dog tails, what’s the cloud made from? Linux servers, mostly.
The fee owners of the viral pink Stanley cup are charging. No kidding, the sold-out travel mugs are in that high of demand. I’m not usually a fan of altered photos, but to anyone considering this offer, Photoshop (and freebie versions) exist.
For the Toyota Prius Prime SE before switching to hybrid mode. It’s the “greenest” car in America. Its weight, tech and build make it more efficient than fully electric cars. The real shocker: The Prime SE is available in six colors, and none of them are green.
You can prevent iOS and Android from tracking you, but they don’t make it easy. The feature is buried inside your device’s privacy settings and, by default, records your daily routine. Here are the steps to take back some of your privacy.
Turn off location settings on Apple devices

That’s how much the photo-sharing app Lapse just raised. The app adds “developing” time to pics, only letting you see and share them after one to three hours. No edits allowed. Gen Z is feelin’ the old-school delayed gratification. I’ll sell you my old DSLR for less than $30 million!
What’s the deal? Seems superfans are buying them as keepsakes — the highest sellers are Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo. Fair enough, but get a hi-fi!
