The Type 01, Jaguar's most important and divisive car in years, has arrived. The production follow-up to the polarising Type 00 concept, Jaguar says the electric, four-door grand tourer is its most powerful road car ever.Even though the Type 00's design chief was reportedly fired earlier this year, most of its aesthetic has carried over to the final car, for better or worse. You can't buy it in that hot Miami pink though - didn't anyone tell them GTA VI is almost here?

When Amazon announced that it would be pulling support from the older Kindle models, people considered using third-party tools to put books on them. However, as time went on, people discovered that these devices, despite their age, still make for a pretty amazing e-ink display when jailbroken. Such is the case of this project that turns a 6th-generation Kindle Paperwhite into a desk assistant, which shows just how capable these 2010-era devices are.

For years, 16GB of RAM was the easy recommendation. Somewhere in the past five years, though, 32GB became the new baseline, and rightly so.

Whenever Claude Code finishes a build, it will let you know, and the file usually opens and will mostly work. What it doesn't tell you is what's off with the first look, and if you don't actually write code, like me, then there isn't much to check it against. Reading line by line isn't realistic for me so I have to rely on testing the build and asking the agent what's happening underneath.

Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that offers reviews of apps, services, and entertainment with a focus on youth safety, today said that OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens is an "unacceptable risk."ChatGPT for Teens, introduced in August, has guardrails for teens and is designed to help students learn, but Common Sense Media says that the teen protections offered by the feature "fall short of what the company promised." Common Sense Media's assessment found that ChatGPT "doesn't send alerts to parents when it should," doesn't offer "the right help in crisis situations," and "still does kids' homework," according to a press release."ChatGPT for Tee …Read the full story at The Verge.

It's hard to imagine productivity without a little bit of AI magic these days. Most developers, designers, advertisers, and content creators swear by at least one model in their workflow, and most of the time, rarely ever see any reason to make a switch. That's because when you're a paying customer, you're subscribed to an entire AI ecosystem, and letting go of one ecosystem in favor of another is a migration hassle that no one wants to go through.
