LG Display says its new FLiPP OLED technology can make displays last 2.4 times longer than panels made with conventional fine metal masks under the same conditions. It also claims a 1.6x increase in brightness while cutting power use by 13%. LG Display plans to bring FLiPP to IT products such as monitors and tablets first, which gives the technology a fairly direct path from the lab to products people might actually buy. That puts OLED monitors near the front of the line for testing whether those numbers hold up once FLiPP moves into mass production. How FLiPP changes OLED…

OpenAI wants to get better at spotting people abusing its frontier AI models without asking privacy-conscious customers to give up Zero Data Retention. In an August 19 announcement, OpenAI introduced Private Safety Processing, a system designed to detect suspicious behavior across multiple interactions while preserving ZDR for eligible API customers. OpenAI says its existing ZDR safeguards evaluate requests individually, making patterns spread across several interactions harder to detect. Private Safety Processing is supposed to fill that gap without giving OpenAI employees access to the underlying prompts or responses. For now, the system is being tested with early customers. Axios reports…

Walls, furniture, people, and even moving a few feet can cause mmWave connections to weaken dramatically. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego are proposing a surprisingly boring solution: cheap reflective tiles that simply bounce the signal where it needs to go. The problem with really fast 5G mmWave sits at the higher-frequency end of wireless communications and offers much more bandwidth than conventional cellular frequencies. That’s what makes it attractive for extremely high-speed connections, but…
