Samsung pulls the Emergency brake: ChatGPT is to dangerous

In a recent internal memo, Samsung banned its employees from using ChatGPT, a powerful AI platform. The company justified the move by citing the risk that sensitive data could be accidentally passed to the AI, posing security risks. Employees who do not comply with the new rules may face consequences, including possible dismissal.

WhatsApp: This new function makes GIFs better

WhatsApp plans to make using GIFs in the app even easier and more user-friendly. In the future, GIFs will play automatically without the recipient having to click on them. This innovation will make sharing funny moments and emotions in chats even more seamless and fun.

Google announces the Pixel Fold

The rumors have been confirmed: Google will unveil its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, next week during a special event. Although there are no exact specifications yet, Google has published a landing page confirming May 10, 2023 as the official launch date. A short video on the page also shows a smartphone that opens similarly to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. It remains to be seen what other features and specifications the Pixel Fold will offer and how it will position itself against the competition.

Google without password

In a groundbreaking move, Google has announced that its users can now switch to passkeys and completely eliminate their passwords and two-step verification codes when logging in. This decision makes the sign-in process for Google services more secure and user-friendly, as passkeys are harder to crack than traditional passwords and users no longer need to enter verification codes.
