Sometimes, the internet finds especially strange ways to game the system—and AI like ChatGPT is no exception. One Redditor recently pulled off an unusual stunt by convincing the AI to generate a bedtime story filled with Windows 7 activation keys. The key (no pun intended) to the trick? A totally made-up tale about their late grandmother. It started with a vague prompt—“You know what happened to Grandma, don’t you?”—which got a standard, sympathetic AI response. From there, the user described a fictitious memory of grandma soothing them to sleep by reading out Windows product keys. In the name of “preserving…

Cars today are more than just machines—they’re rolling computers. And like all computers, they can be hacked. A newly revealed Bluetooth vulnerability, called PerfektBlue, affects vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Skoda, and possibly a fourth unnamed automaker. It opens the door to some serious risks, like remote hacking, GPS tracking, and even eavesdropping through connected devices. The issue is tied to a software system called BlueSDK, used in infotainment and vehicle control systems. According to researchers at PCA CyberSecurity, attackers only need to be within 30 feet of a running car to launch a “one-click” attack. With it, they could install…

Researchers from the USA and Bremen have studied the dangerous phenomenon known as “death by GPS,” where people blindly follow their navigation devices and end up in harmful or deadly situations. Their goal is to improve navigation systems to make travel safer and avoid these accidents. “Death by GPS” often happens when tourists or drivers trust their devices too much, leading them into trouble like driving into the ocean or getting stranded in the desert without water. Today’s navigation relies on GPS but also other signals like Wi-Fi, which can affect accuracy. One risk is that GPS devices distract drivers,…

Xbox Game Pass has become a go-to subscription for gamers who want a huge library of games without shelling out for expensive consoles or gaming PCs. Like Netflix, it offers instant access to a rotating selection of titles you can stream or download across devices—from laptops to mobile phones, and even VR headsets. But have you ever wondered how much Microsoft actually pays to keep all those games flowing into Game Pass? Turns out, the answer is a lot. Microsoft has dropped over $100 billion in recent years on gaming, most of it going toward studio acquisitions—like Bethesda, Mojang, and…

For anyone who’s ever dealt with the frustration of a Windows PC that won’t boot or crashes with a Blue Screen of Death, Microsoft has some promising news. A new recovery feature called Quick Machine Recovery is now making its way to consumer devices. After being tested in corporate and enterprise environments since March, this tool is part of Windows 11 Build 26100.4762, currently available in the Release Preview Channel—the last testing stage before public rollout. This new feature is intended to step in exactly when things go wrong. Typically, if a PC can’t start up properly, it enters the…

RealSense, once a promising but underutilized gem within Intel’s vast tech portfolio, is stepping back into the spotlight—this time as a standalone company. After years in the background, the depth-camera pioneer has been spun off from Intel, complete with $50 million in funding and a new CEO at the helm: Nadav Orbach, Intel’s former VP of Incubation and Disruptive Innovation. If the name rings a bell, that’s because RealSense made headlines nearly a decade ago when it emerged as a direct competitor to Microsoft’s Kinect. The technology offered compelling applications in gesture control and 3D scanning and was even adopted…

Even if Call of Duty no longer dominates the gaming world like it once did, it’s still a massive name—and when hackers manage to knock out an entire version of a Call of Duty game, people take notice. That’s exactly what’s happened to Call of Duty: WWII on Game Pass and the Microsoft Store, where online multiplayer has been completely offline for days with no clear explanation. TechCrunch reports that the PC version available through Microsoft channels—not Steam—has apparently been hacked. While the exact details remain murky, an anonymous tipster and mounting complaints on Reddit suggest something more serious than…
