Google Docs Will Help You Organize Long Documents

Google’s ChatGPT rival ‘Bard’ is now in early access
The big picture: AI has been a topic of interest within the tech industry for several years, but the general population didn't get its first real taste of the technology until deep learning models like DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney launched with the ability to generate strikingly lifelike images from text inputs. However, people truly grasped the power of AI last November when OpenAI launched ChatGPT to the public. While Google has been late to the AI game, many believe that Bard could be the only real competitor to ChatGPT in the near future. Google has opened public access to its conversational AI chatbot, Bard . The move comes a month and a half after the company unveiled the service and rolled it out to a handful of beta testers. With this week's wider rollout, users in the US and the UK will now be able to join a waitlist to check out its features and assess its abilities.

Google blocks Pinduoduo apps from Play Store over malware fears
Google has suspended Chinese ecommerce giant Pinduoduo from its Play Store amid security concerns. The Android maker is urging customers to uninstall the app from their devices, including any installs made from third-party app stores and other downloads. Bloomberg (opens in new tab) states that it’s unclear whether other local app stores including those by Huawei, Xiaomi, and Tencent, have made any action against Pinduoduo and parent company PDD Holdings, given that the Google Play Store is not available in the country. Pinduoduo blocked Pinduoduo allows customers to buy fresh produce from farmers in a country whose citizens are increasingly conscious of food quality. The app has since gone on to amass more active users than Alibaba in China. A Google spokesperson explained: “The Off-Play versions of the e-commerce app that have been found to contain malware have been enforced on via Google Play Protect,” a service on by default that’s designed to check … [Read more...] about Google blocks Pinduoduo apps from Play Store over malware fears
Best Kodi XBMC streaming boxes of 2023: the best hardware for Kodi streaming
Kodi boxes, also known as Android TV boxes, are massively popular. The best models deliver 4K video to your TV and allow you unfettered access to audio and video streams of every format and service. If there's a better, more versatile piece of AV software out there, we've yet to see it. On top of giving you the capability to stream video and music files over a local network, the software also includes the ability to install add-ons to stream from almost any streaming service you could think of, including Amazon Prime Instant Video , Spotify and Netflix. One of the main selling points of Kodi is the fact that it’s supported by pretty much any platform you could think of, up to and including macOS, Android, Linux and Windows. The only real drawback we can think of is that Kodi doesn’t actually manufacture streaming boxes (no, the official Kodi Raspberry Pi case doesn't count), so you need to find your own device to run it on. Luckily, dozens of manufacturers the … [Read more...] about Best Kodi XBMC streaming boxes of 2023: the best hardware for Kodi streaming
“Acropalypse” Android screenshot bug turns into a 0-day Windows vulnerability
Earlier this week, programmer and "accidental security researcher" Simon Aarons disclosed a bug in Google's Markup screenshot editing tool for its Pixel phones. Dubbed "acropalypse," the bug allows content you've cropped out of your Android screenshot to be partially recovered, which can be a problem if you've cropped out sensitive information. Further Reading Google Pixel bug lets you “uncrop” the last four years of screenshots Today, Aarons' collaborator, David Buchanan, revealed that a similar bug affects the Snipping Tool app in Windows 11. As detailed by Bleeping Computer , which was able to verify the existence of the bug, PNG files all have an "IEND" data chunk that tells software where the image file ends. A screenshot cropped with Snipping Tool and then saved over the original (the default behavior) adds a new IEND chunk to the PNG image but leaves a bunch of the original screenshot's data after the IEND chunk. Buchanan says that a version of the … [Read more...] about “Acropalypse” Android screenshot bug turns into a 0-day Windows vulnerability

Microsoft is scaring Windows 11 users with a false security warning – but don’t panic
Windows 11 has seen the unwelcome return of an old bug whereby the system is warning that something’s wrong with the security of the user’s PC, when in fact there’s nothing amiss at all. This is a glitch in the operating system’s Security app which reports that “Standard hardware security not supported,” telling the user that their device fails to meet the requirements for ‘standard’ hardware security. Clearly, then, that’s informing you that your PC’s hardware isn’t up to scratch on the security front, visually flagging this with a little yellow warning triangle on the taskbar, as multiple Neowin readers have reported (opens in new tab) . The tech site also uncovered a number of complaints on Microsoft’s Feedback Hub relating to this bug which has been around since June 2022 – apparently resurfacing now. The truth is that there’s nothing wrong with the PC’s security at all, it’s just a bug causing the system to misreport a problem that doesn’t exist. From … [Read more...] about Microsoft is scaring Windows 11 users with a false security warning – but don’t panic
