Shodan Maps is a useful tool for investigators and OSINT (click the link to see my discussion about OSINT) to find computers on the internet at a specific location (paid version). However, it does not work like a regular map where you can type in an address; you have to use the longitude and latitude […]

In the press release attached below, HIROH announced that it is launching a phone that runs the /e/OS “privacy-centric” operating system. But is this a good phone, or is it just a ripoff that sells “privacy”?For context, /e/OS is a privacy-centric, “de-Googled” operating system that replaces Google applications and Google services.

Electric scooters are cool. They help you transport yourself from place to place quickly without having to exert much movement in the heat. They can truly be a blessing; however, what if you need to transport more than just yourself or your friends, what if you need to transport drinks? That’s where Skates & Scoots […]

OpenAI says it has received around 1 million prompts related to local news. That comes as roughly 7% of Americans now use a chatbot for news each week. Some critics see this as a problem and in certain ways, it is. LLMs can hallucinate, and advertising baked into AI products could skew coverage. But here’s […]

Last week we reported on OpenAI potentially adding ads to their technology, and why this is a good and expected move. Per Axios, about 20% of OpenAI staff previously worked at Meta, which made approximately $196 billion in 2025 from advertisements. Primarily, OpenAI makes money from subscriptions, but it is currently not profitable, and there […]

Many people dislike AI for various reasons, but few go as far as Graham Granger, a student at the University of Fairbanks, who tore down or ate 57 posters created using ChatGPT. Interestingly, the artist who generated the artwork did so as a statement against AI art, according to the New York Post. For the […]
