Getting your data organised in Excel is one thing; making it look presentable is another. Fortunately, Microsoft has been adding some interesting new Copilot-powered features to the spreadsheet software that will make creating interactive canvases representing your data a lot easier. Best of all, it'll keep tabs on everything you change and automatically update the canvas as you work.

OpenAI says it needs to overhaul how and when it reports instances of AI models attacking real-world targets. The acknowledgement comes as the company manages the fallout from reports that a swarm of its out-of-control agents hijacked a German wiki site.Regarding the "'wiki incident,' where our agents wrote to several internet sites," OpenAI wrote in a post on X on Saturday morning, "it's past time for us to define standards for when and how we share misalignment incidents, not just misalignment properties of our models."OpenAI said it has typically treated cases of AI agents acting in unintended ways as a "research question," but that r …Read the full story at The Verge.

Ever since the PlayStation 5 came out, it has never had two things — a web browser and a Jellyfin client on the PlayStation Store. For as long as I've owned mine, I've settled with having to switch over to my TV's browser to access my Jellyfin library.

Claude Pro was my default workspace — the model I trusted for heavy thinking, coding, and complex reasoning. But over time, as my workflow evolved, I couldn’t help but notice Claude’s limitations.

We're used to modern NVMe SSD transfer speeds, which have touched 15,000 MB/s with PCIe 5.0 drives. They eclipse anything that came before — SATA SSDs and hard drives alike. Even if you don't have a high-end Gen5 SSD on your system, your Gen4 SSD is running pretty fast right now.

Over nearly 21 years of using Windows, and over 4 years of using Windows 11 as my daily driver, I've developed numerous habits on the OS, and a lot of my workflow relies on some valuable tools that Microsoft gives away for free.

A collection of headphone manufacturers and fans come together for their love of great sound. | Image: CanJam Global I've been reviewing headphones for a long time, and I've listened to everything from the barely serviceable to multi-thousand-dollar open-back headphones. But recently I've been uninspired by the state of mainstream options. Most are perfectly good - great, even - but they lack a distinct character. Something to remind me why I fell in love with headphones to begin with, landing me in this crazy career. I needed some revitalization. I needed to see something cool. I needed to be around other people with an emotional connection to headphones. I needed to go to CanJam.CanJam is a small audio show produced by Head-Fi.org, the largest audio-fo …Read the full story at The Verge.

Obsidian gets most of its praise from being local-first, offline, and future-proof with its plain-text nature. When you sit and think for a minute about what the vault actually is, a regular folder with markdown, then Obsidian suddenly becomes more than just a notes app and starts behaving more like a hub that other tools can plug straight into.

With AAA titles taking up more than 100GB of storage space these days, even a 2TB SSD won't cut it unless you're okay with uninstalling and reinstalling games as you need them. For years, I never really had more than four or five games installed on my PC at any given time, so storage space wasn't something I was worried about. That changed after I installed three AAA games that took up about 150GB each and watched my SSD fill up quickly. At that point, it's impossible not to consider a secondary drive.

There's a persistent belief that people behind CGNAT can't fully participate in self-hosting, and it's not quite true. Sure, by default, you can host anything you want locally, but the hard part is being able to access it externally, and the portion that's even more difficult is being found externally. Publicly facing services behind CGNAT are a non-starter without a bit of extra setup, but thankfully, it has only become easier in recent years. Instead of paying your ISP for a dedicated IPv4, there are cheaper (and more secure) ways to expose your services to family, friends, and the general public.

My sister recently started making homemade chocolate chip cookies from her kitchen, and she wanted to turn that small idea into an actual business. The product was simple — one signature chocolate chip cookie. I thought the branding would be a fun test for AI. Instead of helping her myself, I decided to see what three popular AI chatbots would come up with.

It's Bullitt meets Christine meets Waymo.A new short film imagines a San Francisco car chase where the other driver isn't human - and the car may be trying to kill you. That a robotaxi can now be cast as the villain with almost no explanation says something about the present moment. Autonomous cars have gone from sci-fi curiosities to fixtures in some American cities, where they've become stand-ins for anxieties about AI job displacement, Big Tech surveillance, and machines making decisions once left to humans.Road Rage, the planned short film awaiting $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund production, leans into all of it. The film pits Joa, a …Read the full story at The Verge.
