Adds up: You’re doing some math on your calculator app and one wrong tap ruins it all. Not anymore. Swipe to the right or left to delete the last character. My high school math teacher called me average. How mean.

With all the cybercriminals and digital threats, you shouldn’t pinch pennies when protecting your devices. Using free antivirus software can actually put you at risk. You need smarter, more robust tools to combat increasingly sophisticated hackers and scammers.
I grew up in New Jersey, right next to a state park. I still remember riding my bike all day like it was yesterday. Oh, and the time I threw a snowball at a police car and hit the cop inside. That was bad.
I hadn’t looked at the house in years, so seeing it on a map took me back. While at it, take yourself on a walk down memory lane, too.
🎬 AI love story? TV manufacturer TCL is cooking up the “first-ever fully AI-generated rom-com” called “Next Stop Paris.” The trailer is, um, interesting. Despite the AI claim, they’re using human writers, actors and animators. Sounds like someone really wants investor money.
The Oregon Trail game has been teaching kids about the perils of the West for 50 years, one broken wagon axle at a time. What you might not know is three Minnesota student teachers developed the game and donated it to a nonprofit. How much is it estimated they could’ve made from the sold copies since? Is it A.) $5 million, B.) $25 million, C.) $125 million or D.) $1.3 billion?
That’s about 10% of the 200 million assignments analyzed. Oh, and about 6 million of those submissions were at least 80% AI-generated. Might be time to bring back the blue book.
👨🏻💻 Stay secure: Over 92,000 D-Link network-attached storage devices aren’t safe to use anymore. Models include the DNS-340L, DNS-320L, DNS-327L and DNS-325. They’ve all reached “end-of-life,” meaning they won’t receive further software updates or security patches. If you’ve got a D-Link NAS pushing a decade old, it’s time for an upgrade.
🤖 Work-from-clone: Influencers and business coaches are making “digital clones” to go to Zoom meetings for them. AI clone platforms use clips from podcasts, voice memos and Slack messages to mimic your responses and speech patterns in email or video. Deepak Chopra made one he calls “Digital Deepak.” Spoiler: It’s not very convincing, yet.
Key-ping up: YubiKey is a USB-based key used by the ultra-security-conscious who don’t trust 2FA or authenticator apps. Turns out, there’s a major bug that lets someone gain administrator access to all your usernames and passwords. If you use a YubiKey, get the latest update now.
Meet your new CAIO: LinkedIn says the number of companies with a designated head of AI has tripled globally (paywall link) in the last five years. The Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer oversees AI’s role in order to improve workforce efficiency (aka fire people), identify new revenue (sell more things) and mitigate ethical and security risks (CYA). You know it pays really well, too.
