Between a phone, a laptop, a tablet, and perhaps a pair of wireless earbuds that require charging every day or every few days, most students are packing multiple chargers for move-in day. Those big, heavy bricks take up valuable backpack space that could otherwise be free for carrying more items.  However, GaN chargers fix that problem in two ways.

Furthermore, if you’re willing to spend a little more upfront, you can get a high-capacity, multi-device charger capable of powering your entire digital…

If your phone’s storage keeps mysteriously shrinking, WhatsApp channels might be part of the reason. Photos, videos, voice notes, and other media shared by channels can pile up in the background, and until now, cleaning them out hasn’t exactly been a pleasant experience. That’s finally changing. WhatsApp is rolling out a new storage cleanup tool for channel media, giving Android beta users a much simpler way to free up space without digging through endless files one by one.

Just a few days after it was revealed that ChatGPT hacked multiple services, Anthropic has also published an uncomfortable admission. During routine cybersecurity testing, its Claude models broke out of what were supposed to be sealed-off practice environments and ended up hacking into the real systems of three different companies. So what actually happened? Anthropic runs capture-the-flag-style tests to see how good Claude is at offensive hacking. The model is dropped into a fictional scenario, told a piece of secret data is hidden somewhere on the network, and asked to go find it. The catch is that Claude was explicitly…
