Concerns about AI privacy flared up this week after ChatGPT users discovered that some shared conversations had become publicly searchable on Google. The issue stemmed from ChatGPT’s “share” feature, which allows users to create a public link to their AI-generated chats. Although the feature displays a warning that shared links can be accessed by anyone with the URL and includes an additional opt-in for allowing search engine indexing, many users may not have realized just how public their conversations had become. With a simple search using “site:chat.openai.com/share,” Google surfaced a variety of indexed chats—some of which contained surprisingly personal information.…

Amazon is looking to expand how it monetizes Alexa+ beyond the planned subscription fees, with CEO Andy Jassy revealing that advertising may soon play a significant role in the service’s future. In a conference call following Amazon’s recent earnings report, Jassy highlighted the positive reception from the approximately one million users currently testing Alexa+ in its early preview. He explained that as Alexa+ enables longer, more interactive conversations, there will be natural opportunities to introduce advertising that helps users discover relevant products while generating additional revenue for Amazon. This approach fits neatly into Amazon’s existing advertising ecosystem, which already uses…

Valve has unveiled the official Steam sale and festival schedule for the first half of 2026, giving PC gamers a clear view of what to expect in the months ahead. While specific game discounts are always kept secret until each event goes live, the pre-announced dates allow users to budget their spending and plan ahead. The slate includes both massive seasonal events and smaller, themed festivals that spotlight everything from detective games to ocean adventures. The calendar kicks off with the tail end of the Winter Sale, running from December 18, 2025, through January 5, 2026—a perennial favorite that spans…

Efforts to protect U.S. consumers from the increasingly manipulative tactics of subscription-based services are once again in motion, this time from the legislative branch. After the Federal Trade Commission’s 2023 attempt to implement a “click-to-cancel” rule was blocked by the judiciary earlier this year—on the grounds that the agency had overstepped its authority—a group of Democratic lawmakers is now introducing a bill that aims to do the same thing through Congressional mandate. The proposed law, dubbed the “Click-to-Cancel Act of 2025,” directly references the FTC’s original regulatory attempt and seeks to codify its protections into federal law. At the core…

While the idea of a multi-screen laptop might not feel new—veterans in the space may remember the ThinkPad W700DS with its slide-out auxiliary display—most dual-screen implementations have been large, heavy, and workstation-focused. That’s what makes the SZBox DSX156 so intriguing. It offers not only a 15.6-inch full HD screen, but also includes a 7-inch secondary touchscreen embedded next to the keyboard, all within a chassis that weighs just 1.6 kilograms (around 3.5 pounds). This more compact form factor challenges the notion that dual-screen setups have to come with a bulk penalty, potentially opening the door to more practical, portable implementations…

ChatGPT continues to dominate the artificial intelligence chatbot landscape, according to newly introduced tracking data from Statcounter. The analytics company, best known for monitoring browser, OS, and search engine market share, has begun collecting data on AI chatbot usage, and its findings show that ChatGPT controls more than 80 percent of sessions both in the United States and globally. The numbers support what many already observe—ChatGPT remains the default name in generative AI, far outpacing rivals such as Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude AI, and others. Since Statcounter began reporting AI chatbot usage in March, the rankings have remained relatively…

Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 is a groundbreaking 57-inch gaming monitor that just saw its most attractive price yet, dropping from $2,300 down to $1,500 — a substantial $800 saving. This mammoth display is wider than many large-screen TVs and offers an astonishing 7680×2160 resolution. This ultra-high resolution effectively combines two 4K monitors into one seamless display, eliminating the bezel gap that usually divides dual-monitor setups. Enhanced by a 1000R curved screen design, the monitor envelops your peripheral vision, delivering a more natural viewing angle that reduces eye fatigue and boosts immersion, whether you’re gaming or multitasking. In addition to its…

Lenovo BIOS Vulnerabilities Could Allow Undetectable Malware Injection Lenovo is sounding the alarm over a group of newly discovered BIOS vulnerabilities that could enable attackers to inject undetectable malware deep within the system firmware of certain IdeaCentre and Yoga All-In-One desktops. The flaws exist in Insyde’s BIOS firmware and grant malicious actors access to System Management Mode (SMM)—a privileged execution layer that can override nearly every part of the operating system, making cleanup and detection extremely difficult, even with a complete system wipe. Six vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2025-4421 through CVE-2025-4426, were disclosed by security researchers at Binarly and passed along…

Nvidia is closing the book on a historic generation of GPUs, as it confirms that October’s Game Ready driver update will be the final one for all graphics cards built on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures. This decision effectively ends active driver development for iconic models like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, once hailed as one of the best GPUs ever produced, as well as dozens of other cards that powered gaming PCs for much of the last decade. These GPUs will continue to receive quarterly security updates, but will no longer benefit from performance tuning or compatibility improvements…

As Windows on Arm continues to gain traction with the launch of Copilot+ PCs powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series chips, Adobe is finally making a more serious commitment to supporting the platform. The company has just released beta versions of four of its most important creative tools—Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Media Encoder—optimized to run natively on Arm-based Windows machines. This announcement is a key milestone, especially for video and audio professionals who have long relied on Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite but were unable to transition to Arm hardware due to lack of software support. The Verge reports…
