  Google has unveiled a new functionality for its AI chatbot, Gemini, providing users with detailed control over the generated responses to prompts. This feature allows users to modify specific portions of the text, offering the ability to regenerate, edit the length, or entirely remove the selected segment. Presently, the feature is exclusively available for the web app version and has not been extended to the app. It's worth noting that Google recently announced multiple new AI features tailored for Android devices. In an official announcement, Google stated, “We're launching a more precise way for you to tune Gemini's responses. Starting in English in the Gemini web app, just select the portion of text you want to change, give Gemini some instruction, and get an output that's closer to what you are looking for.” This enhancement aims to provide users with greater control over their creative process by allowing them to make changes to specific segments of the response...

  The digital world is rapidly growing, and currently, the top rider of this evolution is generative AI-ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and so on. We are surrounded by a web of artificial intelligence-powered platforms that offer solutions to most of our problems. Need a diet plan? You get a customised one. Struggling to write code? Well, you will have the entire draft right before your eyes using AI. However, this growing dependence on and spreading of the AI ecosystem is also harbouring new threats that can potentially harm you to a great extent. One such threat is the development of AI worms, which can steal your confidential data and break the security walls put up by generative AI systems. According to a report by Wired, researchers from Cornell University, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and Intuit have created a new type of malware called "Morris II" - or what they call it as the first generative AI worm, which can steal data and spread itself between different syst...

In 1961, MIT computer science professor Fernando Corbato invented the first digital password for a computer designed for research, perhaps without an inkling about the impact his invention would have on society. Fast forward to the 21st century and passwords have almost become synonymous with cybersecurity. However, this is not a positive thing when you look closer. Despite the efforts to educate people about the importance of using stronger passwords over the years, the most common passwords remain “password” and “123456” revealing how vulnerable most people’s accounts are. Clearly, things aren’t working too well for this authentication method, so big tech has stepped up with a solution – passkeys. In this article, we explore what passkeys are, how you can enable them, and how they could eventually eliminate the need for passwords. What are passkeys? Passkeys are a type of security feature that allows users to access their online accounts without using passwords. They are built on the...

What’s a shortcut? A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist. Learn how shortcuts work What’s an action? An action—the building block of a shortcut—is a single step in a task. Mix and match actions to create shortcuts that interact with the apps and content on your Apple devices, as well as with content and services on the Internet. Each shortcut is made up of one or more actions. Learn about actions What is automation? Automation is a type of shortcut that’s activated by an event, rather than manually. You can use the Shortcuts app to set up a personal or home automation and then have the automated shortcut run when you arrive or depart, when you change a setting on your iPhone, at a time of day, and much more. Create a personal automation Where do I...

  The competition between AMD and Intel continues to simmer away, providing great processors for us to test and use inside more powerful systems. AMD's Ryzen chips are built on a more efficient platform, allowing the company to draw out more performance without sucking too much power. Intel is struggling with this in its fabrication plants, but we're hopeful about the upcoming 15th-gen Arrow Lake launch. Intel needs to have a successful launch to bring it back to AMD and maintain healthy competition and here's everything we know. Intel should be able to shrink its process node Smaller usually means better We're fully expecting Intel to bring a new platform and processors, which will be built on its 20A process, the equivalent of a 2nm manufacturing process. For perspective, Intel's 14th-gen chips are built using a 7nm process, behind AMD with TMSC's 5nm process. The smaller the process, the more transistors can be crammed onto the silicon, and the better the per...

  If you use Google Messages , chances are you are signed in with your Google account. Additionally, you might manage multiple Google accounts and frequently switch between them within the app. Given that certain features in Google Messages are tied to specific accounts, the application has now started alerting users about potential loss of functionality upon logging out or switching accounts, the media has reported. This new feature was discovered by known tipster Assemble Debug, as spotted by Android Authority, who also provided screenshots for reference. Check out the updated logout warning screen in the latest beta version of Google Messages , set to be included into the stable version soon. As mentioned in the images, opting to make use of Google Messages without a Google account or switching accounts will now prompt a warning regarding potential loss of features such as Magic Compose and Device Pairing, the report further noted. There is also a choice available for users to ...

  Apple has announced the date for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and this year, the event will take place from June 10. It will be a four-day event, concluding on June 14 and some exciting announcements from the Cupertino-based tech giant seem to be underway. "Apple announced the date of the event in a press release, stating, "Apple today announced it will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) online from June 10 through 14, 2024. Developers and students will have the opportunity to celebrate in person at a special event at Apple Park on opening day." The opening day, which is June 10, will host an in-person event where attendees will get to witness the event's keynote at Apple Park. They can also meet the team, participate in activities and more.
