The breadth of prompts ChatGPT can create answers for has alarmed educators as some students begin handing in AI-generated essays and homework as their own work. Also: Can AI detectors save us from ChatGPT? I tried 3 online tools to find out Education is one field that could benefit from OpenAI’s new classifier by automating the detection of AI-generated essays and homework. It might allow a different response than say, restricting its use as New York Schools did recently....

Sir Jeremy Fleming, the director of GCHQ, said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is seeking to gain influence abroad by exporting technologies used in everything from devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), which power smart cities, to innovative new tools used by businesses. And those products, which could be appealing due to low prices, could come with “hidden costs” that endanger the security and privacy of everyone....

Cognizant shares were unchanged in late trading. CEO and founder Brian Humphries remarked that he was “pleased with our third quarter performance.” Added Humphries, “While the industry faces an unprecedented competition for talent, we attracted a record number of employees to Cognizant, and stayed focused on delivering against our client commitments and our strategic repositioning.” “We continue to make important investments to ensure Cognizant is well positioned to serve our clients as they embrace digital business models....

First, the unnecessary rebranding: Couchbase Cloud becomes Couchbase Capella, switching from a straightforward name to one with obscure meaning, or none at all. But if you can get past the gratuitous branding, you’re in for a decent surprise as Couchbase is now adding a hosted mode. The new hosted mode means that customers will have a much simpler onboarding and business experience. While the original Couchbase Cloud required customers to order their own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) from AWS and then order the managed database cloud service from Couchbase, Couchbase Capella’s new hosted mode eliminates the need for customers to take out their own VPCs....

But then something sort of magical happened – I started using the app. Once I understood just how Craft could be used, I realized Craft was so much more than a note-taking tool. And after you’ve created a document you can export it as a PDF, MS Word, Image, Markdown, TextBundle, Print, or Email. You can even send a document to another installed app. To understand Craft, I want you to imagine that a note-taking app, a word processor, and a desktop publisher came together to create something a bit meta....

There’s a lot to like about the Indy ANC earbuds, and they’ve become my favorite non-Apple earbuds. First, the comfort. I tend to wear earbuds for several hours at a time, and this means that if they’re uncomfortable, they just don’t make the grade. The Indy ANC earbuds come with 3 ear gels and 2 stability ear gels so you can find a comfortable fit that will stay put while you’re on the move....

Air Marshal Edward Stringer, an officer in charge at the time, told Sky News that the cyberattack was discovered in March 2021. According to the retired officer, “unusual activity” was detected by IT outsourcer Serco but originally it was thought that this may have been due to some form of IT error rather than something malicious. The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom was the target. The organization is responsible for teaching and training thousands of military personnel, MoD employees, wider government figures, and overseas students....

There are two problems that I’ve been facing. First, if you stick an app into a folder somewhere, and then forget where you put it, it becomes a real pain to manage that app. You can find and run it using the search feature, and it does tell you what folder that app is in, so if you want to delete it, you then have to find that folder. Another thing that I’ve wished I could have is an icon for an app on multiple screens, so I can have access to it easily....

Or vice versa, or you can use the Show 5 as an alarm clock in your bedroom. With the Echo Show 15, you get a 15....

But we just did an end-to-end replacement of almost all our Macs. We had a lot to upgrade because we’re not just replacing a family computer or two. We own our business. This year, we’ve replaced a fleet of Macs, bought a couple of long-delayed iPad Pros, and added a few additional base-level iPads to our studio setup. Do we really also need to spend nearly $4,000 on a couple of fully-equipped iPhone 13 Pros?...

But it isn’t only employees and businesses who have benefited from the use of cloud computing and the shift towards remote working – it’s proving useful for cyber criminals and malicious hackers too, giving them a new set of opportunities to steal sensitive data such as credit card information, passwords, secret intellectual property and more from unwary cloud users. Malicious hackers have found ways to break into networks to gain access to this information, often via phishing attacks or by secretly planting trojan malware – and these were, and remain, common techniques used by cyber criminals to access corporate networks....

For the quarter, Ericsson posted SEK56.3 billion, which was a 2% year-on-year dip. Of that, Ericsson said its networks segment contributed SEK40.6 billion, digital services chipped in SEK8.6 billion, while the managed services and emerging businesses segments earned SEK7 billion in total.

What Apple devices have an M2 chip? The M2 chip was originally built for Mac computers and can be currently found in the latest MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro. However, it is rumored that this week Apple will be dropping M2-based 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, which would expand the chip’s usage to more than just Apple computers. We can expect Apple to continue to expand its M2 implementation to more of its devices in the future....
