OpenAI released fresh Signals data pulled from millions of consumer messages sent between July 2024 and the end of 2025.

Modern smart TVs have a fatal flaw: the software ages significantly faster than the hardware. A beautiful 4K panel can easily last a decade, but the built-in operating system will become a laggy, ad-filled, bloated mess within three years.

The new power-user move is to buy a display that does nothing but show a picture, and pair it with a dedicated, high-power streaming box (like an Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield)…

Then it works 99% of the time. A criminal could program the trigger for almost anything, say a self-driving taxi responding to rain. Current security tools can’t spot this threat. Your car could be compromised and you’d never know until it’s too late. How…
