28.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Computer maker Dell faced a huge security challenge after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/cybercrime&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;a cyberattack&lt;/a&gt; stole information for approximately 49 million customers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dell confirmed that the type of information stolen includes people’s names, postal addresses, and Dell hardware and order information, such as service tags, item descriptions, order dates and different warranty information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Menelik, the threat actor behind the attack, openly told &lt;a href=&quot;https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/10/threat-actor-scraped-49m-dell-customer-addresses-before-the-company-found-out/?guccounter=1&amp;amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJH7YjDTPhZxrCmC4-pEycJoGbfkK-UIV0pODXmanmiRchLHk9dqTmtLgsSlXZM3E39Hg2RECansswx-Mc3Obn5p1hJE_hneXZ8Llw02O-6m1Ro7j0BuZFJczMgJQjkNyvp3FeGmfTircICfpaZXqPYszI1nDyYW1-B1tBEAtr6w&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;told TechCrunch&lt;/a&gt; how he extracted such a huge amount of data from Dell without being detected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK HERE TO GET KURT’S FREE NEWSLETTER, THE CYBERGUY REPORT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Menelik set up several partner accounts within the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/computers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Dell company portal&lt;/a&gt; which, when approved, allowed the hacker to use a brute-force attack to access customer data. A brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases hoping to eventually guess correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hacker sent more than 5,000 requests per minute to the page for nearly three weeks, and Dell did not notice anything. After sending nearly 50 million requests and scraping enough data, Menelik sent multiple emails to Dell, notifying the company of the vulnerability. It took Dell nearly a week to patch it all up, according to the hacker. Dell confirmed to TechCrunch that it received the hacker&apos;s email notification of the vulnerability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/mobile/massive-free-vpn-data-breach-exposes-360-million-records/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MASSIVE FREE VPN DATA BREACH EXPOSES 360 MILLION RECORDS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dell sits as the No. 3 PC vendor in the world behind Lenovo and HP, and the affected accounts represent a small fraction of its user base. The company communicated &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/customer-care/is-this-from-dell/663c4371f8f6be1eb2b64ae9&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;this statement&lt;/a&gt; to affected users:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We are currently investigating an incident involving a Dell portal, which contains a database with limited types of customer information related to purchases from Dell. We believe there is not a significant risk to our customers given the type of information involved.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We reached out to Dell and a representative for the company provided us with this statement:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS — SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER — THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Dell Technologies has a cybersecurity program designed to limit risk to our environments, including those used by our customers and partners. Our program includes prompt assessment and response to identified threats and risks. We recently identified an incident involving a Dell portal with access to a database containing limited types of customer information including name, physical address, and certain Dell hardware and order information. It did not include financial or payment information, email address, telephone number or any highly sensitive customer data. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Upon discovering this incident, we promptly implemented our incident response procedures, applied containment measures, began investigating, and notified law enforcement. Our investigation is supported by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;external forensic specialists&lt;/a&gt;. We continue to monitor the situation and take steps to protect our customers’ information.  Although we don’t believe there is significant risk to our customers given the type of information involved, we are taking proactive steps to notify them as appropriate.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/what-the-massive-healthcare-cyberattack-at-ascension-means-for-your-privacy-and-security/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHAT A MASSIVE HEALTHCARE CYBERATTACK AT ASCENSION MEANS FOR YOUR PRIVACY AND SECURITY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s no immediate aftermath of this data leak. Dell believes the risk to its customers is not significant since financial and payment information, email addresses and phone numbers were not stolen in this attack. However, the risk of &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/dont-fall-for-these-7-fake-phishing-emails/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;phishing&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or even major &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/apps/worst-malware-security-privacy-breaches-2023/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;malware&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/ransomware-reality-check-as-us-is-top-target-of-attacks/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;ransomware&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; attacks still exists. The threat actors might try sending personalized letters with infected drives, a tactic seen before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/contact/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;ASK OUR TECH EXPERT ANY QUESTION, AND GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY REPORT NEWSLETTER HERE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There&apos;s a good chance this data leak has already been sold on the dark web. The hacker posted the information for sale on the dark web and then took it down quickly, which often happens when someone buys the whole database. If you&apos;re a Dell customer who bought hardware between 2017 and 2024, be very careful about any messages you get in the mail claiming to be from Dell, especially if they ask for personal information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/apps/over-half-a-million-roku-accounts-compromised-in-second-cyber-security-breach/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;OVER HALF A MILLION ROKU ACCOUNTS COMPROMISED IN SECOND CYBER SECURITY BREACH&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the wake of the cyberattack on Dell, consider taking several proactive steps to protect your personal information:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Change your passwords: &lt;/strong&gt;Although Dell says your personal details like phone number and email address haven’t been leaked, it’s still advisable to change the password of your Dell account if you have one. Consider using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;password manager&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to generate and store complex passwords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Avoid &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/protect-yourself-from-tech-support-scams/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;tech support phone scams:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Since the hackers have your data, they may try to get in touch with you, posing as a Dell employee. Always verify if the tech support person you’re talking to actually works for Dell. Be skeptical about all unsolicited phone calls, and don’t provide any personal information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Be wary of mailbox communications: &lt;/strong&gt;Bad actors may also try to scam you through snail mail. The data leak gives them access to your address. They may impersonate people or brands you know, and use themes that require urgent attention, such as missed deliveries, account suspensions and security alerts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Report any suspicious activity:&lt;/strong&gt; If you notice any suspicious activity related to your Dell accounts or purchases, report them to security@dell.com. This may include unauthorized purchases, unusual login attempts, or changes in account information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;QUICK TIPS. EXPERT INSIGHTS. CLICK TO GET THE FREE CYBERGUY REPORT NEWSLETTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Monitor your accounts and transactions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should check your online accounts and transactions regularly for any suspicious or unauthorized activity. If you notice anything unusual, report it to the service provider or the authorities as soon as possible. You should also review your credit reports and scores to see if there are any signs of &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/safety/best-identity-theft-protection-services/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;identity theft&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or fraud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Use identity theft protection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Identity Theft protection companies can monitor personal information like your home title, Social Security Number (SSN), phone number and email address and alert you if it is being used to open an account.  They can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-identity-theft-protection-services/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.  Invest in personal data removal services:&lt;/strong&gt; While no service guarantees complete data removal from the internet, utilizing a removal service can be beneficial for those seeking to monitor and automate the deletion of their personal information from numerous sites over time. Check out my top recommendations for removal services &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/best-services-for-removing-your-personal-information-from-the-internet/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dell’s recent data leak highlights the lapse in the computer maker’s security infrastructure. The attackers being inside the network for an extended period is especially troubling. Given Dell&apos;s role in providing hardware and software solutions, including backup and recovery tools, for critical infrastructure, a thorough investigation into its code and supply chain for signs of tampering is crucial. Dell is working with law enforcement and third-party security experts to investigate the incident, so that’s a step in the right direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you adjusted your online behavior or preferences due to concerns about data privacy and security breaches?

106.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/auto&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;automotive world&lt;/a&gt; gathered at the 2024 Beijing International Auto Show, a star was born. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://news.mgmotor.eu/press/mg-made-a-spectacular-entrance-at-the-2024-beijing-international-auto-show/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;MG unveiled&lt;/a&gt; the EXE181 concept, an electric hypercar that had everyone in awe over its aerodynamics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.181, it’s poised to set records if it hits production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE NEWSLETTER, THE CYBERGUY REPORT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The EXE181 isn’t just a number; it’s a tribute to MG’s storied past. The original EX181 was the chariot that carried Stirling Moss to a world land-speed record in 1957. Fast-forward to today, and MG’s concept car could eclipse the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/auto/make/volkswagen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Volkswagen XL1’s record&lt;/a&gt; Cd of 0.189 — the best ever for a production car.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The less drag a car has, the less energy it needs to move. That’s why the EXE181’s potential as the most aerodynamic production vehicle is such a big deal. It’s not just about beating the likes of McLaren Speedtail or Mercedes-AMG ONE; it’s about leading the charge in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/energy&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;energy-wise automotive design&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/contact/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;ASK ANY TECH QUESTION, AND GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY REPORT NEWSLETTER HERE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/sports/how-formula-e-racecar-was-built-entirely-from-recycled-electronic-waste/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW A FORMULA E RACECAR WAS BUILT ENTIRELY FROM RECYCLED ELECTRONIC WASTE &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2024 marks a century since MG began in Oxford, England, and what better way to celebrate than with the EXE181? It’s a testament to MG’s revival under SAIC’s stewardship and a symbol of its global ambitions. With MG’s exports skyrocketing, the EXE181 could be the crown jewel of a brand reborn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/travel/micro-car-that-can-squeeze-into-just-about-any-spot/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE MICRO CAR THAT CAN SQUEEZE INTO JUST ABOUT ANY SPOT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The MG EXE181 represents a brand that’s risen from the ashes, ready to claim its place in the pantheon of automotive greats. As we approach the Goodwood Festival of Speed, all eyes are on MG. Will the EXE181 make the leap from concept to reality? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: MG is driving into its next century with bold ambition and the wind at its back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How do you think the advancement in aerodynamics, as demonstrated by the MG EXE181 concept, could shape the future of electric vehicles and their impact on the environment?

151.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;They’re not your typical office workers. Standing at 5 feet tall and cruising through the corridors at a leisurely 3 mph, these &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/robots&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;robotic guards&lt;/a&gt; are the latest addition to workplace security. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gone are the days of the traditional security guard. Now, robots are taking over the night shift and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cobaltai.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Cobalt’s robots&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are custom-built to navigate the unique challenges of each building, from ramps to elevators. They patrol the hallways, vigilant for signs of trouble – be it an unusual motion after hours or a door left ajar – and report their findings to a human-staffed call center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These robots can even spot things that might escape the watchful eye of a security camera. They can do this because they are equipped with a depth camera, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;heat-detecting thermal sensors&lt;/a&gt;, 4K cameras that can see 360 degrees, Lidar, as well as a Microphone array for listening and PA system for announcing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a simple tap on the screen, employees can summon a 24/7 specialist to address concerns ranging from spills, unwelcome visitors or suspicious activity. This seamless integration of technology and human oversight lets real-life guards spend more time responding and less time observing now that Cobalt is carefully watching on patrol and reporting back what it detects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/what-is-ai-artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/business/electric-humanoid-robot-poised-to-shake-up-the-job-market/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: ELECTRIC HUMANOID ROBOT TO SHAKE UP THE JOB MARKET&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us/raccoons-swipe-florida-womans-doordash-taco-order-porch&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;DoorDash has embraced&lt;/a&gt; Cobalt’s robotic guards across its corporate sites. The result? Enhanced security operations with fewer sick days, no HR complaints, and a boost in both accuracy and response times for security and safety-related incidents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/news/shape-shifting-underwater-robot-pioneering-depths-of-sea/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: THE SHAPE-SHIFTING UNDERWATER ROBOT PIONEERING THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The driving force behind this robotic revolution is money. It’s far more economical for companies to deploy robots for round-the-clock security than to rely solely on human guards. According to Forrester Research, opting for a robotic guard over a human can lead to substantial savings – around $79,000 annually. That’s a figure that’s hard to ignore for any business looking to optimize its operations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/automobile/apollo-the-robot-joins-mercedes-benz-assembly-line-production/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: APOLLO THE ROBOT JOINS MERCEDES-BENZ ASSEMBLY LINE PRODUCTION&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The security robot market is heating up, with competition between indoor and outdoor models. While Cobalt’s robots are indoor specialists, others like Knightscope and SMP Robots are venturing into both terrains, including malls, hotels and industrial sites. And let’s not forget drones, which are starting to make their mark in the security domain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing. Security robots have had their share of mishaps, from minor accidents to malfunctioning in critical situations. And there’s the human factor to consider. Sometimes, nothing can replace the reassurance of a human presence in times of distress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the occasional glitch, the consensus is clear: Security robots are here to stay, and their presence is set to grow as the technology continues to advance. They may not replace human guards entirely, but they’re redefining the role and allowing humans to focus on more strategic tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What’s your take on these new robot guards?

Before you log out for good, I’ve got a few hidden features that’ll make using your social media accounts stink a &lt;i&gt;little&lt;/i&gt; less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We’re giving away an iPhone 15. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.komando.com/win&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enter to win now!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop video autoplay&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can&apos;t stop autoplay on Instagram, which is a dang shame — unless it’s one of &lt;a href=&quot;https://instagram.com/kimkomando&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;my vids&lt;/a&gt; that pops up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/ai-expert-chatgpt-prompts-wish-knew-sooner&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AI EXPERT: CHATGPT PROMPTS YOU’LL WISH YOU KNEW SOONER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Love it &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;strong&gt; list it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pin your DMs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Say ‘shhhh’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;ve got a turbo-posting friend you want to see a little less from on Facebook or Instagram, tap the &lt;strong&gt;three dots&lt;/strong&gt; on one of their posts and pick &lt;strong&gt;Hide&lt;/strong&gt;. You&apos;ll see their posts a little less often — without the drama of unfollowing them. You can also choose to &lt;strong&gt;Mute&lt;/strong&gt; your pal altogether on the next screen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shake to report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Something not working correctly on Instagram? Don&apos;t &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/cellular&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;throw your phone&lt;/a&gt; across the room — shake it! This brings up the option to report a technical error. Pretty clever. FYI, this &lt;i&gt;isn&apos;t&lt;/i&gt; the place to report stalkers or abuse. To do that, tap the &lt;strong&gt;three dots&lt;/strong&gt; next to a post or a username.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/minute-tech-changes-more-privacy&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1-MINUTE TECH CHANGES FOR MORE PRIVACY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Split your life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook finally realized we’re not the same people to our friends, family and colleagues. You can set up multiple profiles linked to your Facebook account. On the web version, click your profile picture, then click &lt;strong&gt;Create a new profile&lt;/strong&gt;. Just use it for good, not trolling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The poke is back&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technically, it’s always been there, but Facebook users are rediscovering the &quot;poke.&quot; What does it mean? Whatever you want it to — from flirting to just being funny. Head to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/pokes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;your Pokes page&lt;/a&gt; to let people know you’re there, I guess.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus: If you want to step away, try this&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignoring apps that are literally developed to capture your attention is tough. There are settings built into your phone to make it easier. Namely, app time limits. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The concept is simple: Set an amount of time you’re allowed to spend on an app, and once you hit it, you’re locked out. You can get around the limit — but remember you set it for a reason in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use an iPhone? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before you begin, enable Screen Time on your device: Under Settings, tap Screen Time. Select Turn On Screen Time, followed by Continue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s how to set up specific app time limits:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/tech-life-upgrades-smarter-stuff-tiktok&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TECH LIFE UPGRADES SMARTER THAN THE STUFF ON TIKTOK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to set time limits on apps for Android&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Android’s Digital Wellbeing works similarly. Note that different manufacturers put these settings in different places, so use these steps as a starting point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like that, you’re on your way to less doom scrolling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get tech-smarter on your schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Award-winning host Kim Komando is your secret weapon for navigating tech.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Copyright 2024, WestStar Multimedia Entertainment.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

241.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;With vacation planning, most people fall into two camps: those who love planning and those who hate it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Artificial intelligence tools &lt;a href=&quot;https://guidegeek.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;like GuideGeek&lt;/a&gt;, developed by Matador Network and accessible via Meta&apos;s Messenger app, offer a glimpse into a future where vacation planning is as simple as sending a text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet, as we lean into this new era, it&apos;s clear that these &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;amazingly powerful tools&lt;/a&gt; come with their own set of quirks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take, for instance, the phenomenon known as &quot;AI hallucinations.&quot; These occur &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;when the AI&lt;/a&gt;, attempting to fill gaps in its knowledge, invents answers. A classic example unfolded when an AI-powered assistant was asked about travel details for &quot;Crete Freeze&quot; instead of &quot;Crete, Greece&quot;. Instead of clarifying the query, the AI crafted a detailed story about a non-existent ice cream parlor in Pittsburgh. While creative, such responses aren’t particularly useful when you&apos;re trying to plan an actual trip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/5-great-tips-for-planning-your-next-travel-getaway/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: 5 GREAT TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR NEXT TRAVEL GETAWAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn&apos;t an isolated incident. Across the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/travel&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;travel industry&lt;/a&gt;, AI tools have mistakenly concocted false job histories and even non-existent travel destinations. This tendency can lead to significant travel planning errors, such as suggesting routes that don’t exist or accommodations that are the stuff of fiction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does this happen? AI systems, particularly those based on generative models, strive to provide answers for every query. In doing so, they sometimes create plausible but incorrect information. While these errors are often corrected quickly, they highlight an important aspect of using AI in travel planning: verification is key.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/traveling-bring-this-triple-protection-for-safer-online-banking/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: TRAVELING? BRING THIS TRIPLE PROTECTION FOR SAFER ONLINE BANKING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matador Network has taken steps to mitigate these errors by introducing stringent checks and balances for GuideGeek. They&apos;ve reduced the occurrence of hallucinations significantly, from a startling 14% down to a more manageable 2%. They achieved this by enhancing the AI’s training and integrating real-time data from reliable sources like Skyscanner and Expedia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite these improvements, the responsibility ultimately falls on the travel planner to double-check all AI-generated plans. When using AI tools like GuideGeek, it’s prudent to verify the details of your itinerary as you would with a travel agent. Check flight schedules, hotel bookings and travel routes against trusted sources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Incorporating AI into travel planning requires a balanced approach. While these tools can efficiently handle vast amounts of data and provide quick responses, their current propensity for errors cannot be overlooked. People should approach AI-generated travel plans with a healthy dose of both excitement and skepticism, reviewing and confirming details to avoid potential pitfalls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/what-is-ai-artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The process of integrating AI into travel planning is undoubtedly exciting, and it promises a more streamlined and accessible future for travelers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matador Network CEO Ross Borden points to the benefits of AI travel planning, saying, &quot;We all know that typical experience of booking travel online – you&apos;ve got 30 browser tabs open and a headache. GuideGeek is a travel genius that makes creating detailed travel plans much faster and more personalized. As the AI learns about you, the recommendations get more tailored to your interests and how you travel.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I checked AI on one of my favorite Hawaiian destinations for trip-planning ideas known mostly by the locals and deeply entrenched experts. AI was able to identify a really fun area to hike in Kaua’i, along with the little-known secret of how to find parking nearby. I seldom see tourists there, and AI is about to change that. What it didn’t know to tell me is what happens if a common rain shower interrupts the hike, turning the elevated trail into a treacherous trench of mud – something a local or expert may have warned you about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/gadgets/the-best-travel-gear/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: THE BEST TRAVEL GEAR FOR 2024&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlike other travel guides, if you have Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, you do not need to download a separate app to use GuideGeek. All you need to do is go to the main GuideGeek website. In the app you likely have already downloaded, you can either click the link or scan the QR code, which will launch GuideGeek on your designated app.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/5-great-tips-for-planning-your-next-travel-getaway/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: 5 GREAT TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR NEXT TRAVEL GETAWAY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For instance, if you click &quot;Open on Instagram,&quot; GuideGeek will begin a direct message on the Instagram account you have on your device. You can ask any sort of travel question, and it’ll respond with an answer as a message.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best part is that once you have opened it, you can continue to dialogue with GuideGeek for other areas of your travel needs – just don’t delete the chat window with GuideGeek. Of course, if you do, it is just as easy to restart another message with GuideGeek.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/Kurts-picks/best-travel-adapters/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEST TRAVEL ADAPTERS OF 2024&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What’s the difference between using GuideGeek instead of googling your questions? Targeted answers, so you’re not digging around many websites for that one piece of travel information you’re looking for. Additionally, the use of the Matador Network is hooking you up with an established online travel publication located in San Francisco with ​​more than 80 million monthly visitors and 16 million social media followers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With so much travel information online, it can be difficult to parse through all the data. And sometimes, too much information can actually create decision fatigue. Instead of trying to cobble together an itinerary from your neighbors, family, friends and the internet, you can use AI to pull together an exciting trip – just be sure to check each little detail for accuracy before packing your bags.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you utilized AI to help start or finish travel planning?

284.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;They appear like ghosts in the night, standing outside your house, one holding up an antenna while the other crouches next to the car parked on the driveway. Within seconds, your car is gone, yet another victim amid a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/robbery-theft&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;surge in auto theft&lt;/a&gt; enabled by the technology designed to make it easier to unlock and start vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Auto technology has evolved and many newer cars use wireless key fobs and push-button starters instead of traditional metal keys. The fob sends a short-range signal, so when the driver approaches the car, it automatically unlocks the door. This saves you the hassle of digging out your keys when you&apos;ve got your hands full with groceries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But that technology also makes things easier for thieves. The wireless fob will continue to emit a signal even if you&apos;re not using it. Thieves prowl neighborhoods at night looking for cars parked outside so they can carry out so-called relay attacks. Using portable equipment that can pick up the faint signal from a fob inside the house or parking lot, they relay it back to a transmitter that can clone the signal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/video/6352948983112&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW TREND OF &apos;BURGLARY TOURISM&apos; ON THE RISE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Officials have urged carmakers to reduce the security vulnerabilities and warn owners about the risks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what can you do to reduce the odds that your car will be gone in 60 seconds? &quot;It’s relatively easy for drivers to protect themselves,&quot; said Steve Launchbury, principal engineer of automotive security at Thatcham Research, a U.K.-based automotive risk intelligence company. Here are some tips:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A simple but effective way to stop auto bandits from purloining your key fob signal is to use a Faraday bag or pouch. They&apos;re lined with a conductive metal mesh that blocks the transmission of electromagnetic signals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pouches aren&apos;t expensive, and you can also get boxes that do the same thing. But experts advise testing to make sure they work. Just put the key fob inside and approach your car. If the doors don&apos;t automatically unlock, then the signal is being blocked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s also important to remember to use it whenever you leave your vehicle, and don&apos;t forget to put all of your key fobs inside, including any spares.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But ignore some advice making the rounds on the internet telling you to put your fob in the microwave or freezer. It doesn&apos;t have the same effect as a Faraday bag, and you risk damaging your key.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try an old-school solution by using a physical lock. Some police forces advise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/auto&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;car owners&lt;/a&gt; to use them to make your vehicle look less tempting to steal. The reasoning is that a would-be thief might be deterred by the effort needed to cut through the lock and instead turn their attention to an easier target.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Locks, in the shape of a disk or a long bar, clamp onto the steering wheel and make it difficult to steer. There are also versions that prevent the car from being put in gear. The downside is you&apos;ll need extra time to attach or remove it whenever you aren&apos;t driving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many cars, it&apos;s possible to deactivate the wireless setting so that you can&apos;t open the door remotely. For Fords, Hondas and Audis, use the touchscreen menus. If you own a Toyota, you can temporarily disable the signal by holding down the fob&apos;s lock button and at the same time pressing the unlock button twice. If you&apos;ve done it correctly, the fob&apos;s indicator light should blink four times. Be aware that the next time you press any button, remote unlocking will be reactivated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The method will vary depending on make and model so consult your owner’s manual for the exact process. If it sounds complicated, there are YouTube videos that walk you through it. Don&apos;t forget that in most cases you’ll now have to manually press the fob&apos;s unlock button.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Automakers have started adding motion sensors to key fobs. If the sensor doesn&apos;t detect recent movement because it&apos;s been, say, left on the kitchen counter after you come home, the fob goes into sleep mode and stops transmitting. If it lacks this capability, check with your dealer whether it&apos;s possible to upgrade it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you buy a used car, some experts also advise getting the keys reprogrammed, just in case the previous owner kept one of the fobs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Researchers have uncovered a new auto theft technique that doesn&apos;t target radio signals. The controller area network, or CAN, is &quot;a feature of modern cars which allows different components and systems to communicate, (and) has recently been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;targeted and exploited by thieves&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; said Thatcham&apos;s Launchbury.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The network allows sensors and control modules to talk to each other directly, instead of going through a central node. Thieves take advantage by accessing the network from the car’s exterior, usually by removing a headlight and connecting a device that can &quot;inject&quot; a signal, tricking the car into unlocking and starting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While automakers work on improving CAN security, &quot;there are steps drivers can take today to add layers of security and deter criminals,&quot; such as using a physical lock, Launchbury said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aftermarket electronic immobilizer systems &quot;should render a criminal’s theft tool useless,&quot; and might even get you a discount on auto insurance, he said. Thatcham and other companies offer them but the downside is they can be quite pricey.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

In the ever-expanding world of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/robots&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;humanoid robots&lt;/a&gt;, a new star is rising, and its name is Astribot. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/china&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;The Chinese company’s&lt;/a&gt; latest creation, the S1 model, is turning heads with its astonishing speed and precision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine a robot that can move at a blistering pace of approximately 32.8 feet per second and handle a payload of 22 pounds per arm. That’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://astribot.com/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Astribot’s S1&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for you. It’s like watching a superhero in action. Only this one is made of wires and metal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The S1’s capabilities are not just impressive; they’re record-setting. The robot’s dexterity is showcased &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AePEcHIIk9s&amp;amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fnewatlas.com%2F&amp;amp;source_ve_path=OTY3MTQ&amp;amp;feature=emb_imp_woyt&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;in a video&lt;/a&gt; where it performs tasks with such finesse that it can delicately shave a cucumber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/what-is-ai-artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It can even engage in the art of calligraphy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That&apos;s not all. It can also open and pour wine and flip a sandwich in a frying pan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for those who hate ironing and folding laundry, the S1 does that, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/business/electric-humanoid-robot-poised-to-shake-up-the-job-market/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: ELECTRIC HUMANOID ROBOT POISED TO SHAKE UP THE JOB MARKET&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The S1&apos;s ability to mimic human movements sets it apart from other robots. This robot is a learner, an imitator and a potential pioneer in robotics. The questions it raises are as intriguing as its abilities. Does it have a lower half? Can it walk, or is it destined to remain stationary? These are the mysteries that have yet to be answered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/news/shape-shifting-underwater-robot-pioneering-depths-of-sea/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: THE SHAPE-SHIFTING UNDERWATER ROBOT PIONEERING THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founded in 2022 in Shenzhen, the Astribot maker Stardust Intelligence has roots that trace back to the Tencent Robotics Laboratory, Baidu, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, with its founder, Lai Jie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The S1 took a year to evolve and is expected to hit the market later in 2024. The robot’s name, inspired by the Latin proverb &quot;Ad astra per aspera,&quot; reflects its journey and commitment to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;AI robot technology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/news/how-ai-is-paving-the-way-to-smoother-streets-using-autonomous-robots/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW AI IS PAVING THE WAY TO SMOOTHER STREETS USING AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Astribot prepares to launch the S1 robot, the world watches with bated breath. Will it revolutionize the way we think about humanoid robots? Will it outshine its competitors and set a new standard in the industry? Can the U.S. keep us with this Chinese technology? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: the robot wars have begun and Astribot’s S1 is leading the charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As humanoid robots become more adept at tasks traditionally performed by humans, how do you feel about the potential impact on employment and job security?

366.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;In today’s digital age, it’s not uncommon to be on the receiving end of some unsolicited and potentially malicious online advice. Take, for instance, the concern raised by &quot;Barbara,&quot; who reached out with a question that might have crossed many minds:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Hi, Kurt. I can&apos;t remember if I read this online or someone told me about it, but when you receive a pop-up message, you should pull the plug on your computer immediately; this prevents the scammer from having any further access to your work. Is this the right thing to do?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pop-ups used to be one of the most common ways that scammers would penetrate a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/computers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;person’s computer&lt;/a&gt;. It&apos;s less common nowadays, which may be one of the reasons the unplugging method came to be. Well, the quick answer is &quot;no.&quot; Instead of just debunking this myth once and for all, let&apos;s talk a bit more about why it&apos;s not recommended and what to do instead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s important to be cautious when dealing with pop-up messages, as they can be used by scammers to trick you into downloading malware or giving away your personal information. So, you&apos;re right in taking a second to figure out your next move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But pulling the plug on your computer immediately when you receive a pop-up message is not the right thing to do. This could potentially cause data loss or damage to your computer, which can wreak havoc in other ways. It could also potentially let in more scammers in the future due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/cybercrime&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;vulnerabilities in your system&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s also worth mentioning that if the pop-up message is a malicious link or file, scammers these days have a lot more sophisticated strategies, and merely unplugging your computer wouldn&apos;t necessarily stop them. Don&apos;t worry, though. There are ways to protect yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/more-picks/best-private-and-safe-browser-alternatives-to-google/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEST PRIVATE AND SAFE ALTERNATIVES TO GOOGLE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, if unplugging your computer isn&apos;t the answer, what can you do instead if you see a pop-up message, especially one that looks suspicious? Follow the steps below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t click on the pop-up message:&lt;/strong&gt; If you receive a pop-up message, don’t click on it or enter any &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/security&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;personal information&lt;/a&gt;. Instead, close the window by clicking on the &quot;X&quot; button in the top right corner of the window. Be on the lookout for fake pop-ups that appear in your browser window that are trying to trick you into clicking on them. These pop-ups are not coming from your computer but from a malicious file that has integrated itself into your browser and is displaying images that look like pop-ups. If you click on them, you might end up downloading more malware, giving away your personal information or paying money for a fake service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/beware-mcafee-google-chrome-pop-up-scam/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEWARE OF THIS MCAFEE GOOGLE CHROME AD SCAM&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch out for download pop-ups:&lt;/strong&gt; If you&apos;re receiving a pop-up because you clicked a link to download, be sure that the file can be trusted. Did you download it directly from the company&apos;s website? Or was it from a message that someone sent you via email, SMS or Facebook? Or was it from a third-party app store? If it&apos;s the latter, be extremely cautious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t call any phone numbers:&lt;/strong&gt; If you receive a pop-up message that tells you to call a phone number, don’t do it. This is a common scam used by scammers to trick you into giving away your personal information or downloading malware.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/dont-click-that-link-how-to-spot-prevent-phishing-attacks-in-your-inbox/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: DON&apos;T CLICK THAT LINK! HOW TO SPOT AND PREVENT PHISHING ATTACKS IN YOUR INBOX&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While there&apos;s no way to prevent scams 100%, aside from practicing online privacy and security recommendations (and staying up to date with security news), there are ways to prevent pop-ups that may contain threats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/what-is-ai-artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download a pop-up blocker:&lt;/strong&gt; Many browsers have pop-up blocker extensions to keep pop-ups at bay. However, you may need to disable these to let certain pop-ups come through; for instance, when doing your online banking or booking a flight. Many premium popup blockers come included with &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;security software&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; used to protect your devices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be wary of suspicious links/files: &lt;/strong&gt;Whether these suspicious links are through a pop-up ad or somewhere else, always exercise caution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use strong antivirus software:&lt;/strong&gt; Make sure you have antivirus software installed on your computer and keep it up-to-date. The best way to help protect yourself from clicking malicious links that install malware that may get access to your private information is to have antivirus protection installed on all your devices. This can also alert you of any phishing emails or ransomware scams. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get my picks for the best 2024 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android &amp;amp; iOS devices&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update your browser:&lt;/strong&gt; Make sure your browser is &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/how-to-update-google-chrome-browser/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;up to date&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with the latest security patches and updates.

448.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;How good would an algorithm have to be to take over your job?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a new question for many workers amid the rise of ChatGPT and other AI programs that can hold conversations, write stories and even generate songs and images within seconds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For doctors who review scans to spot cancer and other diseases, however, AI has loomed for about a decade as more algorithms promise to improve accuracy, speed up work and, in some cases, take over entire parts of the job. Predictions have ranged from doomsday scenarios in which AI fully replaces radiologists, to sunny futures in which it frees them to focus on the most rewarding aspects of their work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/health/ai-tech-aims-detect-breast-cancer-mimicking-radiologists-eye-movements-critical-friend&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AI TECH AIMS TO DETECT BREAST CANCER BY MIMICKING RADIOLOGISTS’ EYE MOVEMENTS: &apos;A CRITICAL FRIEND&apos;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That tension reflects how AI is rolling out across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/health/healthy-living/health-care&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;health care&lt;/a&gt;. Beyond the technology itself, much depends upon the willingness of doctors to put their trust — and their patients’ health — in the hands of increasingly sophisticated algorithms that few understand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even within the field, opinions differ on how much radiologists should be embracing the technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Some of the AI techniques are so good, frankly, I think we should be doing them now,&quot; said Dr. Ronald Summers, a radiologist and AI researcher at the National Institutes of Health. &quot;Why are we letting that information just sit on the table?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Summers’ lab has developed computer-aided imaging programs that detect colon cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and other conditions. None of those have been widely adopted, which he attributes to the &quot;culture of medicine,&quot; among other factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Radiologists have used computers to enhance images and flag suspicious areas since the 1990s. But the latest AI programs can go much further, interpreting the scans, offering a diagnosis and even drafting written reports about their findings. The algorithms are often trained on millions of X-rays and other images collected from hospitals and clinics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across medicine, the FDA has OK’d more than 700 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/health/more-doctors-use-chatgpt-help-busy-workloads-ai-reliable-assistant&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;AI algorithms to aid physicians&lt;/a&gt;. More than 75% of them are in radiology, yet just 2% of radiology practices use such technology, according to one recent estimate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For all the promises from industry, radiologists see a number of reasons to be skeptical of AI programs: limited testing in real-world settings, lack of transparency about how they work and questions about the demographics of the patients used to train them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/health/artificial-intelligence-not-always-helpful-reducing-doctor-burnout-studies-suggest&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NOT ALWAYS HELPFUL FOR REDUCING DOCTOR BURNOUT, STUDIES SUGGEST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;If we don’t know on what cases the AI was tested, or whether those cases are similar to the kinds of patients we see in our practice, there’s just a question in everyone’s mind as to whether these are going to work for us,&quot; said Dr. Curtis Langlotz, a radiologist who runs an AI research center at Stanford University.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To date, all the programs cleared by the FDA require a human to be in the loop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In early 2020, the FDA held a two-day workshop to discuss algorithms that could operate without human oversight. Shortly afterwards, radiology professionals warned regulators in a letter that they &quot;strongly believe it is premature for the FDA to consider approval or clearance&quot; of such systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But European regulators in 2022 approved the first fully automatic software that reviews and writes reports for chest X-rays that look healthy and normal. The company behind the app, Oxipit, is submitting its U.S. application to the FDA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The need for such technology in Europe is urgent, with some hospitals facing monthslong backlogs of scans due to a shortage of radiologists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the U.S., that kind of automated screening is likely years away. Not because the technology isn’t ready, according to AI executives, but because radiologists aren’t yet comfortable turning over even routine tasks to algorithms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We try to tell them they’re overtreating people and they’re wasting a ton of time and resources,&quot; said Chad McClennan, CEO of Koios Medical, which sells an AI tool for ultrasounds of the thyroid, the vast majority of which are not cancerous. &quot;We tell them, ‘Let the machine look at it, you sign the report and be done with it.’&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Radiologists tend to overestimate their own accuracy, McClennan says. Research by his company found physicians viewing the same breast scans disagreed with each other more than 30% of the time on whether to do a biopsy. The same radiologists even disagreed with their own initial assessments 20% of the time, when viewing the same images a month later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About 20% of breast cancers are missed during routine mammograms, according to the National Cancer Institute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then there&apos;s the potential for cost savings. On average, U.S. radiologists earn over $350,000 annually, according to the Department of Labor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the near term, experts say AI will work like autopilot systems on planes — performing important navigation functions, but always under the supervision of a human pilot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That approach offers reassurances to both radiologists and patients, says Dr. Laurie Margolies, of Mount Sinai hospital system in New York. The system uses Koios breast imaging AI to get a second opinion on mammography ultrasounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I will tell patients, ‘I looked at it, and the computer looked at it, and we both agree,’&quot; Margolies said. &quot;Hearing me say that we both agree, I think that gives the patient an even greater level of confidence.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first large, rigorous trials testing AI-assisted radiologists against those working alone give hints at the potential improvements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Initial results from a Swedish study of 80,000 women showed a single radiologist working with AI detected 20% more cancers among mammograms than two radiologists working without the technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Europe, mammograms are reviewed by two radiologists to improve accuracy. But Sweden, like other countries, faces a workforce shortage, with only about 70 breast radiologists in a country of 10 million people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using AI instead of a second reviewer decreased the human workload by 44%, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, the study’s lead author says it&apos;s essential that a radiologist make the final diagnosis in all cases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If an automated algorithm misses a cancer, &quot;that’s going to be very negative for trust in the caregiver,&quot; said Dr. Kristina Lang of Lund University.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question of who would be held liable in such cases is among the thorny legal issues that have yet to be resolved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One result is that radiologists are likely to continue double-checking all AI determinations, lest they be held responsible for an error. That’s likely to wipe out many of the predicted benefits, including reduced workload and burnout.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only an extremely accurate, reliable algorithm would allow radiologists to truly step away from the process, says Dr. Saurabh Jha of the University of Pennsylvania.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until such systems emerge, Jha likens &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;AI-assisted radiology&lt;/a&gt; to someone who offers to help you drive by looking over your shoulder and constantly pointing out everything on the road.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;That’s not helpful,&quot; Jha says. &quot;If you want to help me drive then you take over the driving so that I can sit back and relax.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

489.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;As waves grew and gusts increased, a wind turbine bobbed gently, its blades spinning with a gentle woosh. The tempest reached a crescendo with little drama other than splashing water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The uneventful outcome is exactly what engineers aimed for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The demonstration featuring a 13-foot-tall floating wind turbine in an indoor pool aimed to ensure it can withstand the strain of powerful water and wind when much larger versions are deployed in the ocean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us/uss-first-large-offshore-wind-farm-officially-opens-new-york-more-come&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US&apos;S FIRST LARGE OFFSHORE WIND FARM OFFICIALLY OPENS IN NEW YORK, WITH MORE TO COME&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/northeast/maine&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;University of Maine’s&lt;/a&gt; contribution to a worldwide race to improve floating machines to tap wind that blows across deeper waters offshore, too deep to attach turbines to the seabed with permanent pilings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the next decade, UMaine researchers said, they envision turbine platforms floating in the ocean beyond the horizon, stretching more than 700 feet skyward and anchored with mooring lines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;These structures are massive,&quot; said Anthony Viselli, chief engineer for offshore wind technology at the university’s Advanced Composites Center, after the demonstration wrapped up. &quot;These would be some of the largest moving structures that humankind has endeavored to create. And there would be many of them.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us/three-groups-suing-new-jersey-block-offshore-wind-farm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THREE GROUPS ARE SUING NEW JERSEY TO BLOCK AN OFFSHORE WIND FARM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the technology advances, dozens of designs are being promoted by experts who see floating wind turbines as a way to address climate change by shifting away from burning fossil fuels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Floating turbines are the only way some countries and U.S. states can capture offshore wind energy on a large scale. In the U.S. alone, 2.8 terawatts of wind energy potential blows over ocean waters too deep for traditional turbines that affix to the ocean floor, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. That’s enough to power 350 million homes — more than double the number of existing homes in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first floating wind farm started operating off Scotland’s coast in 2017. In the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt;, the Department of Interior two weeks ago proposed the first floating wind energy auctions for the Gulf of Maine, following lease auctions for the West Coast that began in 2022. The nearly 1 million acres up for auction off the New England coast could generate enough clean wind energy to power more than 5 million local homes, the department said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UMaine is home to the nation&apos;s largest team of engineers dedicated to floating offshore wind. Other big players include Equinor, which has installed a demonstration floating project of the coast of Norway; global company Principle Power, which has installed small-scale projects off Scotland and Portugal; and SBM Offshore, which has a demonstration project off France.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Floating offshore wind is still a nascent industry, however, making it expensive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian company Equinor postponed its Trollvind floating initiative, citing technology availability, rising costs and a strained timetable to deliver on the original concept.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us/biden-admin-approves-eighth-us-offshore-wind-project-massachusetts-coast&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIDEN ADMIN APPROVES EIGHTH US OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT OFF MASSACHUSETTS COAST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Danish wind energy developer Ørsted decided to focus its efforts on fixed-bottom turbines, foregoing deeper offshore regions including Japan, Norway, Spain, Portugal and the U.S. West Coast. &quot;We care a lot about affordability of renewable power, and floating wind is a lot more expensive than bottom-fixed,&quot; said CEO Mads Nipper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But others are moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gazelle Wind Power is developing a modular platform system to make manufacture and assembly cost-effective and efficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;This is a global problem and this is an ideal solution in order to deliver power to shore,&quot; said Gazelle Wind Power CEO Jon Salazar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UMaine launched its first floating prototype a decade ago and became a surprise global leader after a study showed that the Gulf of Maine had the wind energy potential of 156 nuclear power plants, due to fast, consistent wind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The state could meet all its home heating needs and power every car — if they were all electric vehicles — by tapping just 3% of that water. That improves the odds of successfully sharing the resource with fishermen, recreational boaters, the military and, of course, marine life. Indeed, the federal government’s lease proposal spares Maine’s key lobstering grounds from development, removing a potential obstacle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trailblazers in offshore wind are benefiting from work done by the oil industry, which engineered floating oil and gas rigs, said Habib Dagher, director of the Advanced Composites Center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The university&apos;s wind wave basin, which looks something like a swimming pool with wave and wind generators that can mimic ocean conditions up to a 500-year storm, takes that work to the next level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a recent day, the semi-submersible floating turbine was tethered to the bottom of the basin. Its 1:70 scale represented a real turbine standing about 800 feet (240 meters) tall atop a platform in the ocean. The goal is to have industrial scale turbines of 15 to 20 megawatts each, Dagher said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Size and efficiency are keys to profitability. Larger wind turbines mean fewer are needed, reducing construction, installation and maintenance costs, Viselli said. With greater size and efficiency, developers envision only about 50 turbines needed to produce about the same amount of electricity as a nuclear power plant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Full-size turbines generate peak power starting at about 20 mph. In powerful storms, they shut down automatically to avoid stressing the equipment or breaking. The mooring lines tethered to the ocean floor are made of rope nearly thick as a telephone pole and under heavy tension. That makes them safer for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/science/wild-nature/mammals&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;marine mammals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For all the turbine technology, the platforms developed by UMaine can be built locally with concrete, a simple material that&apos;s readily available. The university already has partners around the world interested in licensing its technology. The state of Maine plans to develop a port facility in the Searsport area to build the floating bases and attach turbines before sending them into the Gulf of Maine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A brand new industry means some experiments in design will succeed and some will fail. And there is work to ensure that wind farms are good neighbors, overcoming objections from others using the ocean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We’re going to have some problems and we have to figure out how to roll up our sleeves and solve these problems,&quot; Dagher said. &quot;And I think we have no choice as a society but to do that.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

534.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Whether you have an older PC lying around your home or you&apos;re considering buying a used/refurbished PC to save money, there&apos;s nothing wrong with doing this. However, there is one problem you should know about: older computers can be more vulnerable to security threats because they haven&apos;t been given updates in a long time. This not only puts you at risk, it can also make your computer run more slowly. Additionally, if you &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/ask-kurt/how-to-help-prevent-car-from-getting-stolen/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;sell or giveaway an older PC&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; without properly clearing out the system, you never know who could still have access to your files and data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, how can you make sure your old PCs – whatever you intend on doing with them – are up to date and don&apos;t pose a risk for you? Let&apos;s find out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using an older computer poses a number of security risks based primarily on the fact that the software it&apos;s running is outdated. This includes operating systems and applications that may lack essential security patches. These systems are more susceptible to known vulnerabilities and exploits, increasing the likelihood of &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/apps/worst-malware-security-privacy-breaches-2023/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;malware infections&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and other potential cyberattacks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, older hardware may have inherent vulnerabilities that simply can&apos;t be mitigated through any type of software update, and compatibility issues with modern security software that you could potentially install to mitigate this could only exacerbate the problem. Essentially, as newer systems receive more attention and updates, older computers become increasingly vulnerable and less capable of defending against evolving threats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/home-tech/dont-toss-old-internet-router-do-this/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: DON&apos;T TOSS YOUR OLD INTERNET ROUTER UNTIL YOU DO THIS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knowing the security risks that come with older computers doesn&apos;t mean you should always just resort to buying a new computer. But, it is important to take security seriously and ensure that old computer is as secure as any new one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are five steps you can take to keep your system safe:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Regular updates&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure your &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-to-update-your-devices/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;operating system&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/more-picks/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;antivirus&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and firewall programs are up to date. This helps patch security vulnerabilities and guards against known threats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Consider upgrading your OS&lt;/strong&gt;: Unsupported operating systems like Windows XP are particularly vulnerable. Consider upgrading to a newer OS or switching to a free alternative like Linux to access current security updates and support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Use secure browsing alternatives&lt;/strong&gt;: Opt for &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/best-private-and-safe-browser-alternatives-to-google/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;safe and private browsers&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; instead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/top-stories/best-web-browsers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Internet Explorer&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which has officially been retired and is out of support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Have good antivirus software: &lt;/strong&gt;The best way to protect yourself from clicking malicious links that install malware that may get access to your private information on your PC is to have antivirus protection installed on all your devices. This can also alert you of any phishing emails or ransomware scams. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get my picks for the best 2024 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android &amp;amp; iOS devices&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5) Maintain best practices:&lt;/strong&gt; Adopt good habits like shutting down your computer regularly, uninstalling unused programs and &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-to-back-up-your-windows-or-mac-computer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;backing up your files&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to mitigate the risk of data loss due to hardware failure or cyberattacks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/why-does-my-pc-freeze-how-do-i-fix-it-expert-answers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: WHY DOES MY PC FREEZE AND HOW DO I FIX IT? EXPERT ANSWERS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free up disk space&lt;/strong&gt;: Remove unnecessary software and delete unused files to free up disk space, which can help improve overall performance. Tools like &quot;Disk Cleanup&quot; on Windows can be very helpful for this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defragment your hard drive&lt;/strong&gt;: Regularly defragmenting your hard drive organizes data more efficiently, making it easier for your computer to access and improving its speed. This process is automated on modern versions of Windows (7 and later), so there’s no need to do it manually. However, if you’re using an older version, you can use the built-in defragmentation tool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider adding more memory&lt;/strong&gt;: Increasing the amount of RAM in your computer can significantly enhance its multitasking capabilities and overall speed. Research the type of RAM your computer uses and consider adding more if needed. If you’re not comfortable with this, a professional or a tech-savvy friend can help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update your drivers&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure your device drivers are up to date to prevent compatibility issues and optimize performance. Many drivers update automatically, but it&apos;s wise to check periodically. You can also visit the manufacturer’s website for instructions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manage start-up processes&lt;/strong&gt;: Control which programs launch during startup to reduce boot time and improve performance. Disable unnecessary startup processes using guides tailored to your operating system. On Windows, you can use the &quot;Task Manager&quot; to disable start-up programs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/10-tips-to-speed-up-your-pcs-performance/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: 10 TIPS TO SPEED UP YOUR PC&apos;S PERFORMANCE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before selling or getting rid of an older computer, it&apos;s crucial to take steps to protect your personal information and ensure the next user doesn&apos;t have access to your data. Here&apos;s what you should do:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Back up your data&lt;/strong&gt;: First, make sure to back up any important files, documents, photos or other data you want to keep. You can transfer these files to an &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/best-external-hard-drives/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;external hard drive&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, cloud storage or another computer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Securely erase data&lt;/strong&gt;: Simply deleting files or formatting the hard drive may not completely erase your data, as it can still be recovered using specialized software. Consider using a data erasure tool or disk-wiping software to securely erase the entire hard drive, making it nearly impossible for anyone to retrieve your personal information. Check out our top data recovery software solutions by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/top-data-recovery-software-solutions/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sign out of accounts&lt;/strong&gt;: If your computer is linked to any online accounts or services like your email, social media accounts or software subscriptions, make sure to log out of these accounts before resetting the computer. This prevents the next user from accessing your accounts unintentionally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remove external devices&lt;/strong&gt;: Don&apos;t forget to remove any external devices connected to the computer, such as USB drives, external hard drives or printers, as they may contain personal data as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perform a factory reset&lt;/strong&gt;: Performing a factory reset is not only essential to wipe all your personal data from the computer and restore it to its original settings, it&apos;s often the easiest and quickest option instead of manually doing all the steps above. This process removes all files, applications and user accounts, essentially giving the next user a clean slate. Be sure to follow the specific instructions for your computer model to initiate a factory reset properly, and make sure to check that it worked and none of your files are still there!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By following these steps, you can ensure that your personal information is safeguarded and that the next user receives a clean and secure computer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computers that are regularly updated tend to have less security risk.

616.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The voice Alexis &quot;Lexi&quot; Bogan had before last summer was exuberant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She loved to belt out Taylor Swift and Zach Bryan ballads in the car. She laughed all the time — even while corralling misbehaving preschoolers or debating politics with friends over a backyard fire pit. In high school, she was a soprano in the chorus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then that voice was gone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/health/artificial-intelligence-helps-predict-seniors-long-term-care-needs-critical-next-steps&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HELPS PREDICT SENIORS’ LONG-TERM CARE NEEDS: ‘CRITICAL NEXT STEPS’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doctors in August removed a life-threatening tumor lodged near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble swallowing and strained to say &quot;hi&quot; to her parents. Months of rehabilitation aided her recovery, but her speech is still impaired. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggle to understand what she is trying to tell them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In April, the 21-year-old got her old voice back. Not the real one, but a voice clone generated by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/artificial-intelligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;artificial intelligence&lt;/a&gt; that she can summon from a phone app. Trained on a 15-second time capsule of her teenage voice — sourced from a cooking demonstration video she recorded for a high school project — her synthetic but remarkably real-sounding AI voice can now say almost anything she wants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She types a few words or sentences into her phone and the app instantly reads it aloud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Hi, can I please get a grande iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso,&quot; said Bogan’s AI voice as she held the phone out her car’s window at a Starbucks drive-thru.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-ai-tools-help-doctors-take-notes-message-patients-still-make-mistakes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW AI TOOLS CAN HELP DOCTORS TAKE NOTES, MESSAGE PATIENTS, BUT THEY STILL MAKE MISTAKES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can amplify phone scams, disrupt democratic elections and violate the dignity of people — living or dead — who never consented to having their voice recreated to say things they never spoke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s been used to produce deepfake robocalls to New Hampshire voters mimicking President Joe Biden. In Maryland, authorities recently charged a high school athletic director with using AI to generate a fake audio clip of the school’s principal making racist remarks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Bogan and a team of doctors at Rhode Island&apos;s Lifespan hospital group believe they&apos;ve found a use that justifies the risks. Bogan is one of the first people — the only one with her condition — who have been able to recreate a lost voice with OpenAI’s new Voice Engine. Some other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech impediments and loss — including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We’re hoping Lexi&apos;s a trailblazer as the technology develops,&quot; said Dr. Rohaid Ali, a neurosurgery resident at Brown University&apos;s medical school and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/northeast/rhode-island&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Rhode Island&lt;/a&gt; Hospital. Millions of people with debilitating strokes, throat cancer or neurogenerative diseases could benefit, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We should be conscious of the risks, but we can’t forget about the patient and the social good,&quot; said Dr. Fatima Mirza, another resident working on the pilot. &quot;We’re able to help give Lexi back her true voice and she’s able to speak in terms that are the most true to herself.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mirza and Ali, who are married, caught the attention of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI because of their previous research project at Lifespan using the AI chatbot to simplify medical consent forms for patients. The San Francisco company reached out while on the hunt earlier this year for promising medical applications for its new AI voice generator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bogan was still slowly recovering from surgery. The illness started last summer with headaches, blurry vision and a droopy face, alarming doctors at Hasbro Children&apos;s Hospital in Providence. They discovered a vascular tumor the size of a golf ball pressing on her brain stem and entangled in blood vessels and cranial nerves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;It was a battle to get control of the bleeding and get the tumor out,&quot; said pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Konstantina Svokos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 10-hour length of the surgery coupled with the tumor&apos;s location and severity damaged Bogan&apos;s tongue muscles and vocal cords, impeding her ability to eat and talk, Svokos said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;It’s almost like a part of my identity was taken when I lost my voice,&quot; Bogan said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The feeding tube came out this year. Speech therapy continues, enabling her to speak intelligibly in a quiet room but with no sign she will recover the full lucidity of her natural voice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;At some point, I was starting to forget what I sounded like,&quot; Bogan said. &quot;I’ve been getting so used to how I sound now.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whenever the phone rang at the family&apos;s home in the Providence suburb of North Smithfield, she would push it over to her mother to take her calls. She felt she was burdening her friends whenever they went to a noisy restaurant. Her dad, who has hearing loss, struggled to understand her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back at the hospital, doctors were looking for a pilot patient to experiment with OpenAI&apos;s technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The first person that came to Dr. Svokos’ mind was Lexi,&quot; Ali said. &quot;We reached out to Lexi to see if she would be interested, not knowing what her response would be. She was game to try it out and see how it would work.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bogan had to go back a few years to find a suitable recording of her voice to &quot;train&quot; the AI system on how she spoke. It was a video in which she explained how to make a pasta salad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her doctors intentionally fed the AI system just a 15-second clip. Cooking sounds make other parts of the video imperfect. It was also all that OpenAI needed — an improvement over previous technology requiring much lengthier samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They also knew that getting something useful out of 15 seconds could be vital for any future patients who have no trace of their voice on the internet. A brief voicemail left for a relative might have to suffice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When they tested it for the first time, everyone was stunned by the quality of the voice clone. Occasional glitches — a mispronounced word, a missing intonation — were mostly imperceptible. In April, doctors equipped Bogan with a custom-built phone app that only she can use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I get so emotional every time I hear her voice,&quot; said her mother, Pamela Bogan, tears in her eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I think it’s awesome that I can have that sound again,&quot; added Lexi Bogan, saying it helped &quot;boost my confidence to somewhat where it was before all this happened.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She now uses the app about 40 times a day and sends feedback she hopes will help future patients. One of her first experiments was to speak to the kids at the preschool where she works as a teaching assistant. She typed in &quot;ha ha ha ha&quot; expecting a robotic response. To her surprise, it sounded like her old laugh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She&apos;s used it at Target and Marshall&apos;s to ask where to find items. It&apos;s helped her reconnect with her dad. And it&apos;s made it easier for her to order fast food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bogan&apos;s doctors have started cloning the voices of other willing Rhode Island patients and hope to bring the technology to hospitals around the world. OpenAI said it is treading cautiously in expanding the use of Voice Engine, which is not yet publicly available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A number of smaller AI startups already sell voice-cloning services to entertainment studios or make them more widely available. Most voice-generation vendors say they prohibit impersonation or abuse, but they vary in how they enforce their terms of use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We want to make sure that everyone whose voice is used in the service is consenting on an ongoing basis,&quot; said Jeff Harris, OpenAI&apos;s lead on the product. &quot;We want to make sure that it’s not used in political contexts. So we’ve taken an approach of being very limited in who we’re giving the technology to.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Harris said OpenAI&apos;s next step involves developing a secure &quot;voice authentication&quot; tool so that users can replicate only their own voice. That might be &quot;limiting for a patient like Lexi, who had sudden loss of her speech capabilities,&quot; he said. &quot;So we do think that we’ll need to have high-trust relationships, especially with medical providers, to give a little bit more unfettered access to the technology.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bogan has impressed her doctors with her focus on thinking about how the technology could help others with similar or more severe speech impediments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Part of what she has done throughout this entire process is think about ways to tweak and change this,&quot; Mirza said. &quot;She’s been a great inspiration for us.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While for now she must fiddle with her phone to get the voice engine to talk, Bogan imagines an AI voice engine that improves upon older remedies for speech recovery — such as the robotic-sounding electrolarynx or a voice prosthesis — in melding with the human body or translating words in real time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She&apos;s less sure about what will happen as she grows older and her AI voice continues to sound like she did as a teenager. Maybe &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;the technology&lt;/a&gt; could &quot;age&quot; her AI voice, she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For now, &quot;even though I don’t have my voice fully back, I have something that helps me find my voice again,&quot; she said.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

661.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Ascension, one of the largest health systems in the United States with 140 hospitals, faced a significant cyberattack that disrupted its operations. It was reported that the attack caused patient record systems to go offline, forcing medical staff to resort to paper records. This event is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of America’s health care system to cyberthreats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aftermath of the cyberattack was immediate and disruptive. Emergency crews had to divert patients to other hospitals, and staff had to implement manual workarounds. Essential systems like MyChart, phone services and electronic ordering for tests and medications were affected. The company has had to delay some elective procedures and appointments, urging patients to come prepared with detailed notes on their conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/mobile/5-best-telemedicine-apps-for-virtual-healthcare/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: 5 BEST TELEMEDICINE APPS FOR VIRTUAL HEALTH CARE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ascension’s response was swift, with an investigation launched to determine the extent of the breach. The health system, which is based in St. Louis, has not provided a timeline for service restoration but has assured us that they are working diligently to resolve the issues. Nurses and staff have had to adapt quickly, facing challenges such as accessing electronic health records and using devices like glucometers that rely on electronic identification systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/top-stories/how-generative-ai-could-cut-healthcare-costs-and-develop-new-cancer-drugs/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW GENERATIVE AI COULD CUT HEALTH CARE COSTS AND DEVELOP NEW CANCER DRUGS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The recent security failures in hospitals have been likened to car owners leaving their keys on the seat with the door unlocked. The American Hospital Association supports voluntary cybersecurity goals but has expressed concerns over mandatory measures proposed by the Biden administration. They argue that such requirements could unfairly penalize hospitals for vulnerabilities introduced by third-party technologies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/home-tech/dads-life-saving-invention-is-inspired-by-his-wifes-near-death-ordeal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: A DAD&apos;S LIFE-SAVING INVENTION IS INSPIRED BY HIS WIFE&apos;S NEAR-DEATH ORDEAL&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This cyberattack is not an isolated incident. It follows a concerning trend of increased cyberthreats to U.S. medical systems. Just recently, Change Healthcare suffered a similar fate, which had widespread repercussions across the health care industry. The Ascension hack, while smaller in scope, directly impacted systems crucial for patient care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An Ascension spokesperson provided this statement, which is posted on the nonprofit&apos;s website, &lt;i&gt;&quot;Safely caring for patients remains our highest priority as we navigate this cybersecurity incident. We are actively supporting our ministries as they continue to provide safe, patient care with established downtime protocols and procedures, in which our workforce is well-trained. It is expected that we will be utilizing downtime procedures for some time.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can read the company&apos;s entire statement &lt;a href=&quot;https://about.ascension.org/cybersecurity-event&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the wake of the cyberattack on Ascension, consider taking several proactive steps to protect your personal information and prepare for potential disruptions in health care services:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Stay informed:&lt;/strong&gt; Keep up to date with the latest news from Ascension and other reliable sources to know the status of the systems and services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Personal health records:&lt;/strong&gt; Maintain personal health records saved on your own devices or printed out, including a list of medications, allergies, past surgeries and other relevant health information. This can be invaluable if electronic health records are temporarily inaccessible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Emergency preparedness:&lt;/strong&gt; Have a plan for medical emergencies that includes knowing alternative health care facilities and understanding how to reach them if your primary hospital is affected. For example, my nearest emergency department recently had a waiting time of several hours while a top hospital an hour away could see many patients within minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4) Cybersecurity best practices:&lt;/strong&gt; Practice good cybersecurity hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for online accounts. Consider using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;password &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;manager&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to generate and store complex passwords. Also, enable &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/how-to/what-is-two-factor-authentication-and-why-should-i-enable-it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;two-factor authentication&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5) Vigilance against phishing:&lt;/strong&gt; Be extra cautious of phishing attempts, as cyberattacks often lead to an increase in phishing emails and calls, trying to exploit the situation. The best way to protect yourself from clicking malicious links that install malware that may get access to your private information is to have antivirus protection installed on all your devices. This can also alert you of any phishing emails or ransomware scams. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get my picks for the best 2024 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android &amp;amp; iOS devices&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6) Contact health care providers:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have appointments or procedures scheduled, contact your health care provider to confirm or reschedule as needed should a cyberattack disrupt normal operations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7) Patient portals:&lt;/strong&gt; If you use patient portals like MyChart, monitor them for updates regarding your medical records and communication with health care providers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8) Data breach response:&lt;/strong&gt; In case of a data breach, be ready to follow instructions from Ascension or any affected medical provider regarding credit monitoring or other protective measures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By taking these eight steps, you can help safeguard your personal health information and ensure better continuity of care during cyber-related disruptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cyberattack on Ascension underscores the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity measures in health care. With the White House pushing for &quot;mandatory minimum&quot; cybersecurity standards, it’s clear that voluntary measures are no longer sufficient. The health care industry must prioritize cybersecurity to protect against such threats and ensure the safety and privacy of patient data. For us as patients, we need to have a backup plan and keep track of our medical records as much as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What role should government agencies play in bolstering cybersecurity measures within private health care systems?

With so many options and configurations available, figuring out which laptop is the best option for you can feel just about impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many different screen sizes, processors and storage options in laptops these days, and that&apos;s why I&apos;ve put together this guide. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This guide will cut through the jargon and explain your best options on a practical level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before you start looking at laptops, you’ll want to decide which operating system (OS) you plan on using. Today, there are four major &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;OS options&lt;/a&gt;, each with strengths and weaknesses. You&apos;ll want to pick an OS based on what software you use. Let&apos;s break down the three most popular options together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most popular operating system on the market is Microsoft Windows. Some industry insiders believe the glory days of Windows peaked during the XP era, but Windows 11 is more than satisfactory for the vast majority of users. I personally use a Windows 11 desktop, which I use as a media center for playing the occasional game. It will be the best bet for most users, especially if you need to use Microsoft applications such as MS Office, Outlook or Excel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/video/6344889563112&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW TECH, AI DEBUTS AT CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MacOS features an easy learning curve and is a beginner-friendly operating system, but don&apos;t let that fool you. MacOS is a premium operating system and one of the more powerful OS&apos;s for creative work and programming. As a premium operating system, you have significantly fewer options when buying a laptop with MacOS, limiting you to Apple&apos;s MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/companies/google&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Google&apos;s ChromeOS&lt;/a&gt; is an excellent solution for anyone who can do most of their work in a web browser. Laptops running on ChromeOS, often called Chromebooks, are some of the cheapest laptops on the market, so the OS is an excellent option for students and casual users who don&apos;t use any powerful applications such as video editing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The catch is that since Chromebooks are typically not that powerful, there&apos;s little support for applications like the Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office. You&apos;ll also need a reliable, always-on internet connection to get the most out of a Chromebook.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/best-laptops-2024/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEST LAPTOPS FOR 2024 &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Size matters, especially if you’ll be lugging your laptop away from home. Would you like a laptop that&apos;s easy to take anywhere you go? Or do you need something more like a mobile workstation with a large, color-accurate display that you don&apos;t plan on moving much?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the absolute &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/computers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;smallest laptops&lt;/a&gt; on the market, Ultrabooks start at 11 inches and 2½ pounds and go up to 12 inches and three pounds. These are the smallest laptops on the market and typically aren&apos;t the most powerful, although mobile processing has come a long way in the past two years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is my favorite size when it comes to laptops, and you&apos;ll find that most laptops available on the market are in the 13-inch to 15-inch range. These laptops focus on delivering a sweet spot between portability and processing power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are the largest laptops on the market and often the heaviest but most powerful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/10-best-laptop-bags/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: 10 BEST LAPTOP BAGS &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you&apos;ve decided which operating system you need and which size you prefer, it&apos;s time to pick a processor. Unless you are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/mac&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;buying a MacBook&lt;/a&gt;, you will be deciding between either Team Blue (Intel) or Team Red (AMD). Both companies offer great processors, but I&apos;ll break down what you should look for in both Intel and AMD processors. I&apos;ll also include a quick note on Apple&apos;s own M-processors if you are buying a MacBook.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intel&apos;s main offerings when it comes to processors are the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9. The Core i3 is going to be the least powerful processor of the bunch, while the Core i9 is the most powerful. Intel loads its processor names with a confusing string of numbers, such as the Core i7-1355U. Let&apos;s quickly break down what this means.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-accessories-to-get-for-your-laptop/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEST ACCESSORIES TO GET FOR YOUR LAPTOP  &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Core i7 is the second most powerful processor in the series, and the 13 represents the processor&apos;s generation, so this is the Core i7&apos;s 13th generation, while the third and fourth numbers represent this processor&apos;s speed. For example, the Core i7-1355U is not as powerful as the Core i7-1555U, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The letters you see after will correspond to different standards that Intel uses. Here&apos;s what they mean: Y series chips are optimized for battery life. If the battery is your main concern, this is what you will look for. U series chips are optimized for power efficiency, and H are optimized for performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/how-to-clean-your-devices-properly/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: THIS IS THE WAY CLEAN FREAKS GET THEIR FILTHY TECH SPOTLESS &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, AMD doesn&apos;t make things much easier when deciphering their naming conventions. Consider the AMD Ryzen 7 5600X. In 5600X, the 5 represents the generation, so this is a 5th-generation processor, and the 600 refers to power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, we can decipher that this is a middle-range processor, and the lettering at the end corresponds to optimization. X in this case means the processor is optimized for high performance, so this would be a good processor for gaming, video editing or other resource-intensive applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, Apple utilized Intel processors in its MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. However, since 2020, Apple has begun manufacturing its own processors known as Apple Silicon, which are now used in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, there are few &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/companies/apple&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Apple M-processors&lt;/a&gt; out, so you will only have to decide between the three generations of M-processors on the market. They are the M1, M2 and M3 processors, and within each of these processors, you get to choose between three options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M&lt;/strong&gt; — These are the base-level processors included in MacBook laptops, such as the M2 Pro, or M1 Pro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M Pro —&lt;/strong&gt; The &apos;Pro&apos; series processors from Apple offer enhanced battery life, more power, and are ideal for creative professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M Max —&lt;/strong&gt;These are the second-most powerful processors offered by Apple, and they include additional cores dedicated to graphics performance. These are the ideal processors for video pros who deal with complex files.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M Ultra&lt;/strong&gt; — The Ultra&apos;series processors are the highest of the high and are even a bit overkill for the most professional complex work situations. This is what professionals buy if they don&apos;t want to replace a MacBook anytime soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to cut through all of the technical jargon, here&apos;s a quick checklist you can think about when selecting processors. Here&apos;s a list of popular AMD Ryzen processor prefixes you should be looking out for. There are three different M-processors available currently, and the number that immediately follows the M refers to the generation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&apos;s a quick list of Intel processors you should be looking out for&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-smartly-organize-your-photos-pc/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW TO ORGANIZE PHOTOS SMARTLY ON YOUR PC&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All laptops come with either what&apos;s referred to as &apos;integrated&apos; graphics, graphics chips that are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/china-blocks-use-intel-amd-chips-government-computers-report&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;part of the CPU&lt;/a&gt; or their own dedicated graphics card. For most people, integrated graphics will be more than enough. Integrated graphics will allow you to watch HD videos from your favorite streaming services, view images clearly and even play some casual games easily.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;re a creative professional or gamer, you may want a laptop with dedicated graphics. Because these laptops have to house an actual graphics card on the motherboard, they tend to be larger, in the 15 inch and up range and often cost a premium.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are someone who will end up needing a dedicated graphics card in your laptop, you&apos;ll be deciding between a graphics card from Nvidia or AMD. The majority of Nvidia graphics cards you will find will be from the company&apos;s Q-line, which are called the GeForce Max-Q. An example of a popular Nvidia graphics card in laptops for gamers is the GeForce 4070 Max-Q.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AMD&apos;s dedicated graphics cards are called Radeon graphics cards and start at the top of the line with the Radeon Vega cards, which are used for enterprise-level video editing, down to the consumer-level Radeon RX graphics cards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When it comes to random access memory, or RAM, there&apos;s a wide range of options available in today&apos;s laptops. For most people, 16GB of RAM will be enough to get the job done quickly.  RAM is what your laptop uses to store data, while the processor uses that data. In essence, RAM is what stores the data your CPU uses to execute your applications, and if you run out of RAM, you won&apos;t be able to do things such as open more browser tabs, leading to your laptop eventually freezing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At minimum, you should get a laptop with 8GB of RAM, which will be enough for a casual Windows or Mac user, especially for anyone who is just using a laptop for daily emails and other browser-based tasks. The sweet spot is 16GB, which will make your laptop feel faster and is the minimum amount required for more intensive processes, such as gaming or editing photos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;re a power user who uses a laptop for programming and building software or a creative professional who needs a laptop for editing high-resolution videos, you will want between 16GB and 32GB of RAM. I personally recommend a minimum of 32GB for high-end users, such as pro gamers, creative professionals and software developers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your hard drive is where you store everything on your laptop, from the operating system itself to your favorite photos and applications. When looking for a laptop, I highly recommend picking one that comes with a solid-state drive (SSD). You may notice that some budget laptops still use hard-disk drives (HDD), but I would caution anyone against buying a laptop with an HDD in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You&apos;ll need at least 256GB of storage space, but when it comes to storage, the more the merrier. I suggest trying to get a minimum of 512GB of storage space, and if you can afford it, it&apos;s worthwhile to get 1TB, especially if you work with a lot of different files, photos and videos.  If you’ve already got an older laptop, check to see how much space you are using to understand your future needs better &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Battery life in laptops is better than it&apos;s ever been, largely thanks to advancements made in CPU manufacturing over the past decade. However, not all laptops are made equal when it comes to battery life, and you&apos;ll want to do a little bit of extra leg work to ensure you are buying a laptop with a battery life that is good for your needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I recommend sticking to laptops that offer at least eight hours of battery on a single charge. It&apos;s important to note, you shouldn&apos;t trust laptop manufacturers&apos; battery life claims. Not that laptop manufacturers are lying, but their battery tests are under the most ideal situations, based on theoretical use, and are often higher than the average person ends up receiving. Instead, try searching the word &quot;battery&quot; in consumer reviews of different laptops and see what actual users are getting out of each laptop when it comes to battery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/top-11-hacks-boost-your-macbooks-battery-life/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: TOP 11 HACKS TO BOOST YOUR MACBOOK&apos;S BATTERY LIFE &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ports are a necessary and often overlooked feature of purchasing a new laptop. You&apos;re going to want at least one of the smaller USB-C ports and if possible one of the larger USB-A ports, along with a microphone/headset jack (also called 3.5mm port) and I always make sure to have a USB-C to USB-A converter cable on hand just in case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I personally recommend any laptop that charges with USB-C, and any laptop you are looking at will say if it can charge via USB-C in the specs section. This allows you to use any high-voltage USB-C cable to charge your laptop. Oftentimes, you&apos;ll be able to use the same cable that you charge an Android smartphone with to charge your laptop if it features USB-C charging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/the-best-wireless-mice/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: THE BEST WIRELESS MICE OF 2024&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your laptop should have a built-in webcam, although there are still laptops that don&apos;t have them in 2024, so be sure to check the specifications section to make sure. Lower-priced laptops will typically include a 720p webcam, which will be good enough for most users, as long as they aren&apos;t taking video calls all day. Personally, video calls from services like Zoom or Google Meet are a pretty big part of my life as a writer, so I prefer a laptop that comes with a 1080p webcam. Also, it’s important to beware if someone is spying on you through your webcam. Check out seven red flags by &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/has-your-webcam-been-hacked/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;clicking here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you&apos;ve begun to narrow down a few different laptops that are ideal for you, you&apos;ll want to make sure you read customer reviews. Customer reviews will give you additional insight into the laptop that go beyond the specs page and answer questions such as &quot;how does the trackpad feel&quot; or &quot;how long is the actual battery life&quot;. Customer reviews are one of the best tools in your arsenal when researching laptops, make sure to use them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buying a laptop has gotten more complicated recently, with so many new hardware releases from companies like Intel, AMD and Nvidia. We hope this guide has been useful to you in cutting through all of the marketing and technical jargon and helping you make sense of what you&apos;re looking for when shopping for a new laptop. Always remember to read customer reviews before committing to a purchase. A laptop is a major investment, and customer reviews will tell you what you&apos;re truly buying before purchasing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the top factors you consider when choosing a new laptop, and how do you prioritize them?

841.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;So much of how we live and interact with the world happens online. From engaging with people professionally and personally, to posting photos, storing files and accessing our bank account information, this all represents what&apos;s known as our &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/social-media&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;digital legacy&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What happens to all of this after we pass away? Unlike physical items that we may pass on after we die, such as photos, jewelry, an heirloom, a home, an inheritance, etc., how to handle your digital estate is a totally new conversation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to a recent study by the cybersecurity company &lt;a href=&quot;https://news.trendmicro.com/2023/10/03/digital-safety/?utm_source=IDPcampaignpage&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_campaign=1cx&amp;amp;_ga=2.256137099.167417994.1712068532-54717911.1709046286&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;TrendMicro&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, only 3% of respondents who were 65 and older had a digital estate plan. What happens to the other 97% of respondents’ digital assets? Who is responsible after someone passes on? Where does the information go?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Digital assets are any content or resources that exist in digital form, including files like photos, videos, emails and social media accounts, as well as online properties such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/cryptocurrency&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;websites or cryptocurrency&lt;/a&gt;. On the other hand, a digital legacy encompasses all the digital assets an individual leaves behind after death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This legacy can include personal, financial and creative digital properties that may need to be managed or transferred according to the deceased’s wishes or legal directives. Managing a digital legacy is becoming an increasingly important aspect of estate planning, as it ensures that digital assets are handled appropriately, respecting both legal requirements and the personal preferences of the deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With over 20-plus years of experience, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/cyber-security&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;cybersecurity and education expert&lt;/a&gt; Lynette Owens, VP of Global Consumer Education &amp;amp; Marketing of Trend Micro — Digital Estate Planning — helps us answer these questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/look-who-died-facebook-message-scam/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: DON&apos;T FALL FOR THAT &apos;LOOK WHO DIED&apos; FACEBOOK MESSAGE TRAP&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Digital assets, such as emails, digital photos, online accounts and subscriptions, digital currencies and documents, remain as they are when we pass on, so it is vital to consider who should take care of them and what should happen to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depending on the company&apos;s privacy policies, there are several possibilities for what can happen to our private and sensitive information when we die. While these scenarios are not always clear and can be very nuanced, examples include data sometimes being deleted after a certain period and the worst-case scenario, which is your data ending up in the wrong hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, creating a digital estate plan — and ensuring you have someone to take care of your digital assets and information when you pass — allows you to decide where information will go and how your accounts will be managed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/safety/how-scammers-have-sunk-to-new-low-with-ai-obituary-scam-targeting-the-grieving/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW SCAMMERS HAVE SUNK TO A NEW LOW WITH AN AI OBITUARY SCAM TARGETING THE GRIEVING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preserving and taking precautions when it comes to your digital legacy is essential for several reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Legal and financial considerations:&lt;/strong&gt; Online digital assets such as online bank accounts have financial value that should be managed by the executor of your estate or the trustee of your trust. However, they may not have the information to access accounts that are purely online. There’s a need to ensure these assets are managed correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Genealogy and family lineage:&lt;/strong&gt; Organizing this can provide insights into family history and genealogy for later generations. This information lets you track down family relationships, relatives and connections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Personal and emotional security: &lt;/strong&gt;Unmanaged, dormant online accounts are susceptible to hacking and misuse and can be used to commit identity theft and fraud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Preserving memories:&lt;/strong&gt; An online archive of treasured moments like pictures, videos and messages shared on different social media platforms allows family members to access and preserve memories easily. Some online accounts &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-to-be-remembered-forever-on-facebook/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;can also be memorialized,&lt;/a&gt; so users know someone has passed. Memorialized accounts are a place for friends and family to gather and share memories after a person has passed away. Memorializing an account also helps keep it secure by preventing anyone from logging into it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After someone passes away, each company will follow its privacy policy regarding handling inactive or deceased persons&apos; accounts. You can appoint a digital executor to manage your digital assets as part of your estate plan. This individual, who does not necessarily have to be the executor of your estate or trustee of your trust, should be trustworthy, digitally knowledgeable and capable of handling detailed administrative tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They should be designated as your digital executor in your will and trust. It is advisable to inform them of their role and the location of your digital estate plan or include these details in your broader estate plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your digital executor should not require your passwords to delete, close or memorialize your accounts. But they will need to contact each account service and show proof of your death through a death certificate to receive access and permission to carry out your wishes. Be aware that the exact protocols vary by state and company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While sharing passwords and &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/how-to/what-is-two-factor-authentication-and-why-should-i-enable-it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;two-factor authentication&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; credentials with a designated person would make login and online account management easy and convenient for a loved one who is the designated digital executor, we cannot officially recommend this action as it encourages a breach of companies&apos; terms of use and privacy policies with their account holders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, we recommend the often laborious and time-consuming process of going through official channels and presenting ID, death certificates, etc., to companies to gain access to account data and management on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/how-to/how-to-ensure-your-passwords-dont-die-with-you/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW TO ENSURE YOUR PASSWORDS DON&apos;T DIE WITH YOU&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To ensure our digital assets are protected when we die, consider the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create an inventory of digital assets:&lt;/strong&gt; Make a list of your digital accounts and assets and the associated email or username. Do not include passwords in the list, as this is unnecessary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use password managers: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Password managers&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; securely store an up-to-date list of your online accounts and usernames. You can designate one person to access your password manager, which could be your digital executor. When completing your digital estate plan, you can reference your account list in your password manager.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/facebook-oversight-board-consider-anti-israel-rallying-cry-hate-speech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FACEBOOK OVERSIGHT BOARD TO CONSIDER WHETHER ANTI-ISRAEL RALLYING CRY IS ‘HATE SPEECH’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create a digital estate plan:&lt;/strong&gt; Provide your fiduciaries (Digital Executor) with instructions on managing your digital assets. For example, you may want the account closed or deleted or pictures, videos or other digital assets saved or distributed to family and friends. Perhaps you want an account to be memorialized. Keep in mind that different businesses provide users with different options for what can be done with accounts if someone is incapacitated or passes away. You’ll need to check the policies of the companies you have accounts with to see what options are available, as this could influence the instructions you leave in your digital estate plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep your digital estate plan in a safe location: &lt;/strong&gt;Because it contains sensitive information, you may not want to list the details in your estate planning documents. However, you should reference it in your will or trust, including instructions on how to find it and who your digital executor will be. Work with your lawyer to ensure your digital estate plan fully integrates into your other legally binding documents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These measures can help better protect your digital assets and ensure they are managed accordingly after you pass, providing peace of mind to you and your loved ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to completing the steps outlined above, you can do a few additional things now to protect your data and accounts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Consider using an identity protection solution: &lt;/strong&gt;Identity Theft companies can monitor personal information like your Social Security Number (SSN), phone number and email address and alert you if it is being sold on the dark web or used to open an account. They can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the best parts of using identity theft protection is that they might include identity theft insurance of &lt;strong&gt;up to $1 million to cover losses and legal fees&lt;/strong&gt; and a white glove fraud resolution team where a &lt;strong&gt;U.S.-based case manager helps you recover any losses&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-identity-theft-protection-services/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Set up legacy contacts&lt;/strong&gt;. Many popular online companies, including Google, Apple (for iPhone users), Facebook and Microsoft, allow users to configure their online accounts to ensure that they will be deleted or passed on to trusted individuals who can handle their personal information responsibly. See more on this below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Microsoft does not provide a direct feature for setting up legacy contacts or specifying posthumous account management preferences within the account settings. However, Microsoft has a process for handling the accounts of &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/accessing-outlook-com-onedrive-and-other-microsoft-services-when-someone-has-died-ebbd2860-917e-4b39-9913-212362da6b2f&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;deceased or incapacitated users&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If you have the account credentials, you can close the account yourself. If not, the account will be closed automatically after two years of inactivity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In cases where access to the account is needed, legal representatives or family members must seek legal guidance and may need to provide Microsoft with a valid subpoena or court order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;X &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/contact-x-about-a-deceased-family-members-account&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;(formally known as Twitter)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; does not have anything in place — neither to memorialize an account nor to provide a legacy contact’s details. It also does not provide account access to the loved ones of a deceased user. At the same time, an authorized person can contact X to have a deceased person’s account deactivated after providing relevant information (ID, death certificate, etc.) For more detailed information, you can visit &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/contact-x-about-media-on-a-deceased-family-members-account&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;X’s Help Center&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or their policy on media depicting deceased individuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being owned by Facebook, Instagram has memorial and deactivation features similar to the above. There is no specific legacy contact, but family members and other authorized persons can contact Instagram to inform them the person has died. At this point, the profile can be memorialized or deleted. For further assistance or to request these actions, one would need to contact Instagram directly through their &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.instagram.com/contact/513098328818064&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Help Center&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LinkedIn will not disclose data or grant any access to anyone, including family members. Family members and other authorized persons can &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1380121/deceased-linkedin-member-removing-profile?lang=en&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;report a user’s death.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; If you aren’t authorized to act on behalf of a deceased member, you can report them as deceased, and LinkedIn will memorialize the profile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each new generation will spend more time in the digital world. However, due to the rapid pace at which this technology has been embedded into our lives, society still has not entirely caught up with what to do with all of that. But our digital assets are just as important as our non-digital ones. So, when you begin to take an inventory of your physical assets, spend some time focusing on your digital ones, too. After all, these are the ones that the next generation will remember you by.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What role do you believe technology companies should play in helping individuals manage their digital legacy? Let us know by writing us at&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cyberguy.com/Contact&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Cyberguy.com/Contact&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more of my tech tips and security alerts, subscribe to my free CyberGuy Report Newsletter by heading to &lt;a href=&quot;http://cyberguy.com/Newsletter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Cyberguy.com/Newsletter&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/contact/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ask Kurt a question or let us know what stories you&apos;d like us to cover&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answers to the most-asked CyberGuy questions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copyright 2024 CyberGuy.com. All rights reserved.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

887.                        
888.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Imagine you’re about to zip up your suitcase for a much-awaited vacation, and there’s your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/lifestyle/pets&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;four-legged companion&lt;/a&gt; gazing up at you with those soulful eyes. The thought of leaving them behind tugs at your heartstrings, especially when the only travel options seem to be less than ideal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/travel/general/airlines&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;With commercial airlines&lt;/a&gt; tightening the leash on pet travel, your furry friend often ends up in a snug carrier or, worse, isolated in the cargo hold. But what if there was a better way?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter the world of private jet charter companies like Bark Air and K9 Jets, who are realizing that there’s a segment of dog owners willing to break the bank for a chance to soar the skies with their pets in the lap of luxury. No more cramped spaces or lonely journeys — just you and your pet, flying high with ease and comfort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/newsletter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://air.bark.co/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;Bark Air&lt;/a&gt; is a game-changer in pet travel, where dogs aren’t just allowed, they’re the priority. With planes and flights designed for dogs, Bark Air sets a new bar for dog travel with no stressful terminals, bypassing TSA, and a first-class experience that rivals human luxury. They’ve thought of everything to keep your pup relaxed in the air, like yummy calming treats, noise-blocking earmuffs, snug jackets, pillows and comfy blankets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/utah-cat-accidentally-shipped-amazon-return-box-found-miles-from-home-warehouse-worker&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UTAH CAT ACCIDENTALLY SHIPPED IN AN AMAZON RETURN BOX, FOUND 650 MILES FROM HOME BY WAREHOUSE WORKER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/gadgets/best-pet-tech-gift-guide/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: BEST TECH GIFT GUIDE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bark Air is making &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/travel&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;cross-continental cuddles&lt;/a&gt; a reality, starting with routes from New York to Los Angeles and London. It is teaming up with Argus, a platinum-rated charter company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, this pet pampering doesn&apos;t come cheap. Pricing will vary based on routes, time of year, and roundtrip or one-way tickets. For example, flights between New York and Los Angeles cost $12,000 roundtrip per dog (and the human companion flies free). A one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles costs $6,000, and New York to London costs $8,000.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company says:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;We plan to add more routes, more infrastructure, more equipment, more staff, and more over-the-top dog-first amenities unlike anything in the market.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/kurts-picks/unforgettable-mothers-day-gifts-2024/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: LAST MINUTE  MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS 2024&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.k9jets.com/how-it-works/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;K9 JETS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is revolutionizing pet travel by offering shared private jet flights, where your furry friends can enjoy the journey right by your side in the cabin, not confined to the cargo hold.

930.                        <description>After a recent cyberattack affected patient record systems at Ascension, one of the largest U.S. health systems, here are a few ways you can safeguard your health records.</description>

932.                        
933.                            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Imagine you rush to the emergency room, but after five hours, they tell you to find another hospital. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or you check in at your specialist’s office for a chronic condition, only to find they have no access to your entire &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/health&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;medical history&lt;/a&gt;. Both of these scenarios happened.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/cybercrime&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;The cyberattack&lt;/a&gt; on one of the largest health systems in the U.S., Ascension, was bad — &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; bad. Before you say, &quot;Another data breach? So what, Kim?&quot; know that having your records sold on the dark web is the &lt;i&gt;least&lt;/i&gt; of your worries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/im-tech-expert-you-need-make-tech-changes-now-before-its-too-late&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’M A TECH EXPERT AND YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE TECH CHANGES NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Code red&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hack on Ascension sent its 140 hospitals and 40 senior centers into full-blown chaos. It took down patient record systems and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;medication prescribing systems&lt;/a&gt;, forcing doctors and nurses to rely on paper charts and handwritten records to keep things running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aol.com/news/ascension-hospital-cyber-attack-disrupts-015656369.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;One patient&lt;/a&gt;, Zackery Lopez, checked himself in at an Ascension-run hospital in Southfield, Michigan. He was suffering from internal bleeding and thought his cancer had returned. Zackery waited a grueling seven hours before a nurse could help him. As he waited, he saw patients checking themselves out. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep your health records safe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When hospital systems get hacked, it’s a matter of life and death. And it’s happening more and more often. Keeping physical records sounds old school, but if digital systems go down, it could save your life. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also recommend compiling your full medical records and having a printed copy on hand. If you have an iPhone, you can &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.apple.com/en-us/105016&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;sync them to your Health app&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/tech/stop-paying-much-streaming-every-dang-month&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7 WAYS TO STOP PAYING SO MUCH ON STREAMING EVERY DANG MONTH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add your health records&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;View your health records&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have medical reporting dating back to 2012 in my account, and it&apos;s a 66-page PDF!

That doesn’t mean you’re out of luck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lots of folks like the free, privacy-friendly &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thecommonsproject.android.phr&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;gl=US&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;CommonHealth app&lt;/a&gt;. It’s from the nonprofit organization The Commons Project Foundation and connects with 15,000 health providers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the options in the Play Store include some kind of data collection, but not this one.

It is designed to gather a wide array of information, including hardware details, active processes, applications, and more installed on your system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, Cuckoo can capture screenshots and access data from various sources, such as sensitive iCloud Keychains, Apple Notes, web browsers and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/apps&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;popular communication apps&lt;/a&gt; like Discord, Telegram, Steam, and cryptocurrency wallets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/two-new-stealthy-malware-threats-are-targeting-those-of-you-who-use-macs/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: TWO NEW STEALTH MALWARE THREATS ARE TARGETING THOSE OF YOU WHO USE MACS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cuckoo is distributed via malicious websites that promote a supposed tool for ripping music from streaming services and converting these into .MP3 files. This tool is offered in free and paid versions, tempting users to download and install it. Once installed, the malware relies on annoying and persistent pop-ups using LaunchAgent, a method used in other malware campaigns &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/privacy/beware-of-new-android-threat-targeting-your-photos-and-texts-without-even-opening-them/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;like XLoader.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No one threat actor has taken responsibility for the malware campaign. Still, it&apos;s worth noting that Cuckoo refuses to operate if the device is located in certain countries — like Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Armenia — which could mean it&apos;s coming from a group in one of these countries or operating out of this region as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, The Hacker News reported that &quot;each malicious application contains another application bundle within the resource directory,&quot; the researchers said.

After all, they can be sophisticated and sneaky, making it hard to recognize even when it&apos;s right in front of you. Not to worry, that’s why I’m here. They don’t call me the CyberGuy for nothing. I’ve got you covered. Here are 9 steps to enhance your cybersecurity and safeguard your digital life:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Use good antivirus software&lt;/strong&gt;: Install and maintain reliable antivirus protection tailored for macOS. The best way to protect yourself from clicking malicious links that install malware that may get access to your private information is to have antivirus protection installed on all your devices. This can also alert you of any phishing emails or ransomware scams. Ensure it is set to update automatically and run regular scans. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/security/best-antivirus-protection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get my picks for the best 2024 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android &amp;amp; iOS devices&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Don’t get software from strangers&lt;/strong&gt;: Always download software from reputable and official sources. Avoid downloading applications from third-party websites or links found in unsolicited emails and messages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Check the software maker’s credentials&lt;/strong&gt;: Before installing any software, check the developer&apos;s credentials and read reviews to ensure their legitimacy. This is particularly important for software that handles sensitive information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Stay fresh. Perform regular updates&lt;/strong&gt;: Keep your macOS and all installed applications &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-to-update-your-devices/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;up to date&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Software updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities that malware could exploit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Enable firewall&lt;/strong&gt;: Use macOS’ built-in firewall or a third-party firewall to monitor incoming and outgoing connections. Turning it on can make you safer by helping detect and block malicious activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Be wary of strange requests&lt;/strong&gt;: Be cautious about unsolicited requests to access your computer or install software, especially those from pop-ups or unfamiliar emails. The rule I live by is that if you did not ask for it, then never engage or reply. This makes it harder for a criminal hacker to gain access to your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Use strong passwords and 2FA&lt;/strong&gt;: Enable &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/how-to/what-is-two-factor-authentication-and-why-should-i-enable-it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;two-factor authentication&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to enhance overall security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Backup your data&lt;/strong&gt;: Regularly &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-to-back-up-your-windows-or-mac-computer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;back up important data&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to an external drive and/or a cloud-based service. This helps ensure that you can recover your data in case of a malware attack. It may also be a good idea to keep any sensitive files on your hard drive as well, to make it harder for the hacker to get their hands on your precious data. I routinely plug in a portable USB drive to my computer, back it important files, photos and records, unplug it and stash in a safe spot at home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Create strong passwords: &lt;/strong&gt;Use unique passwords for different accounts and consider using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;password manager&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to keep track of them. Who can remember a litany of complicated passwords?  That’s why password managers are so effective at helping you store and retrieve passwords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/how-crypto-imposters-are-using-calendly-to-infect-macs-with-malware/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MORE: HOW CRYPTO IMPOSTERS ARE USING CALENDLY TO INFECT MACS WITH MALWARE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I’ve mentioned before, one of the selling points of Mac computers is that people tend to believe they are less vulnerable to cyberattacks than Windows PC. But this is clearly not the case, and Mac owners need to be aware of what lies out there in order to stay safe, not just from this particular threat but any new ones that come out faster than they can be patched.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the rise of more cyberattacks aimed at Mac and MacBook, have you added protection to help keep out the bad guys? Or worse, has one infected you yet?
