My husband, Barry, is a total news junkie. He has all the major news apps on his phone. That’s why this story stopped me in my tracks. NewsBreak, the most downloaded news app in the U.S., with more than 50 million readers per month, has strong ties to Communist China.
Pat Lawlor and his wife were first-time homebuyers, eager and ready to start the process. Things took a turn for the worse when Pat received an email from his “escrow officer” and sent over their down payment. Catch the full interview here. Buyer beware!
Adobe’s new ToS: When you agree to Photoshop’s new terms of service, you’re letting Adobe look at your ongoing projects for “content moderation” and more. Got projects under NDA? Tough luck. I bet they’re covering their butts so they, too, can train their AI with your designs.
It’s not just hackers and scammers … though, yeah, they are there. Let’s take a closer look.
🎨 Tell every artist you know: Digital creators are ditching Instagram for good reason. Meta now views public posts as part of its AI training data, and you can’t opt out. One alternative? Cara. It’s just like Insta, but it bans AI posts and training. Try it on iOS or Android.
Need a new phone? Samsung accidentally leaked an ad for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. So, what’s new? Sharper edges on the Fold 6 and a vertically stacked triple camera. The Z Flip 6 looks pretty much the same, but rumor has it the battery life is a lot better. They’re both scheduled to launch next month.
If I could turn back time: Graphics card and chipmaker NVIDIA just overtook Apple as the world’s second most valuable company. The AI boom has companies gobbling up NVIDIA’s chips at record rates. Bet you wish you’d bought stock in them at $4 a decade ago. Today, it’s about $1,200 a share. Hey, I didn’t buy it either.
🚨 Russian propaganda: The Kremlin is using deepfakes, fake news sites and social media attacks to undermine the upcoming U.S. elections. “D.C. Weekly,” “Boston Times” and “Election Watch” are just some of the names of their fake outlets. Stick to trusted news sources. It’s going to get a lot worse in the coming months.
Apple’s WWDC 2024 is all software: Next week, Apple won’t announce new gadgets, focusing instead on major updates for iOS 18, iPadOS, macOS 15, watchOS 11 and visionOS. You can expect hardware updates this fall. So, say it with me now: “I will not buy an Apple iPhone, laptop, AirPods, Vision Pro headset, watch, iPad or iMac right now.”
