WhatsApp is introducing a new feature that will allow users to choose usernames in addition to their phone numbers.

How to defend yourself against AI voice call scams

With voice cloning, a technology powered by AI. Scammers can clone the voice of your loved one with astonishing accuracy using a short audio clip of their voice, easily obtained from online content.&nbsp;

Imagine receiving a panicked call from someone claiming to be your son. They say they're in trouble, having wrecked a car and landed in jail. They urgently ask for your help and money. But wait, you've heard of these scams before right? This time, though, the voice sounds just like your son. How is this possible?
It's voice cloning, a technology powered by AI. Scammers can clone the voice of your loved one with astonishing accuracy using a short audio clip of their voice, easily obtained from online content. When the scammer contacts you, their voice will sound exactly like your grandson.So how can you tell if it's a genuine emergency or a scammer using voice cloning? Here's what you can do:
First, don't solely rely on the voice. Reach out to the person who supposedly called you using a known phone number. Verify the story directly with them. If you can't reach your loved one, contact another family member or their friends to confirm.
Second, be cautious about the payment methods scammers suggest. They often insist on untraceable options. If they ask you to wire money, provide the card numbers and PINs, it's likely a scam.
In this AI era, scammers are getting craftier. Stay vigilant, verify information, and trust your instincts. By doing so, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from falling victim to voice-cloning scams.

Starting June 26, YouTube will officially shut down its YouTube Stories feature

YouTube to discontinue YouTube Stories on June 26

Starting June 26, YouTube will officially shut down its YouTube Stories feature

Starting June 26, YouTube will officially sunset its YouTube Stories feature. After this date, users will no longer be able to create new YouTube Stories. Any existing stories created before the deadline will expire after the usual 7-day period, with no viewable YouTube Stories available from Monday, July 3.
According to YouTube, the decision to discontinue YouTube Stories is driven by a focus on other popular features such as YouTube Shorts and Community posts. The platform recently made Community posts available to all channels, removing the previous requirement of 1,000 subscribers to activate the feature.
In an announcement on its community forum, YouTube explained, "Today, there are many ways to create on YouTube &ndash; from Community posts to Shorts, to long-form and Live. To prioritize these key features, Stories are going away."While YouTube Stories aimed to compete with Instagram's Stories feature, it didn't gain the same level of popularity. YouTube data reveals that creators experienced significantly more subscriber growth through YouTube Shorts compared to YouTube Stories. Additionally, Community posts fostered better interaction with subscribers.
Although YouTube Stories will no longer be available, the platform recognizes the value of an ephemeral nature and has introduced an expiration option for Community posts, allowing them to disappear after 24 hours.
Discontinuing lesser-used features like YouTube Stories helps avoid overwhelming the platform with confusing options, ultimately ensuring a better user experience and driving more traffic to videos and channels.

Pegasus iPhone spyware employed in armed conflict for the first time

Researchers have found that at least a dozen people in Armenia were targeted with Pegasus phone hacking software in the first recorded use of iPhone spyware in a military conflict.

Researchers have found that at least a dozen people in Armenia were targeted with Pegasus phone hacking software in the first recorded use of iPhone spyware in a military conflict between October 2020 and December 2022. Pegasus is a powerful tool that can steal sensitive information, track people's movements, and even turn on their phones' cameras and microphones without their knowledge. The hacking appears to be linked to the military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. The researchers say that the hacking was done by a customer of the NSO Group, but they cannot conclusively identify which one. The NSO Group has said that it investigates all credible reports of its spyware being abused.The use of Pegasus spyware in a military conflict is a worrying development, as it suggests that the technology is being used for surveillance and repression. The fact that the NSO Group has continued to develop new ways to hack iPhones and other smartphones despite being blacklisted as a US national security risk is also concerning. It suggests that the company is willing to put profits ahead of security.

Nvidia: all you need to know about this trillion dollar AI chip giant

Nvidia shares surged as much as 27 percent, putting them on course for a record performance with a market cap above $900 billion

Driven by the massive artificial intelligence boom, the market valuation of U.S chipmaker Nvidia, neared one trillion dollars on Thursday after the company blew past quarterly earnings expectations.&nbsp; The company's sales forecast also added to the surge. Nvidia said its sales in the three months ending in July would be around $11 billion. This is far above the $7 billion that the street was expecting. The company also said it is boosting supply to meet surging demand for its artificial-intelligence chips, which are used to power ChatGPT and many similar services.
The world's most valuable chipmaker saw its shares surge as much as 27 percent, putting it on course for a record performance with a market cap above $900 billion. This also led to a surge in global AI related stocks.&nbsp;
About Nvidia&nbsp;
Founded thirty years ago by American-Taiwanese engineer Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang, this little-known company was initially a star in the video game world.
The Silicon Valley-based company has long been known for graphics processing units (GPUs), which ramp up image quality and vanquish response lag time for gamers.
If Nvidia hits the one-trillion mark, it will join a club of only five companies -- all US tech giants except Saudi Aramco, the oil behemoth.
Before the major move on Thursday, shares in Nvidia had already doubled in 2023 amid the frenzy over AI chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard.

A German newspaper has reported that Tesla has received thousands of customer complaints about braking and acceleration problems

A German newspaper has reported that Tesla has received thousands of customer complaints about braking and acceleration problems. The report, which was based on a leak of confidential Tesla data, said that the company had received more than 2,400 complaints of Teslas suddenly accelerating and about 1,500 complaints of braking issues, including 383 cases of "phantom braking." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating the safety of Teslas after hundreds of drivers complained about phantom braking. The agency has received more than 750 complaints about phantom braking incidents. In August 2022, a Tesla owner filed a lawsuit against the Tesla over phantom braking. The driver said that the problems turned his Model 3's safety feature into a frightening and dangerous nightmare. He accused Tesla of hiding safety concerns related to its Autopilot system in the lawsuit. In November 2022, nine people were injured after an eight-car pileup was blamed on Tesla's phantom braking problem. One juvenile was hospitalised and the driver of the Tesla told authorities his car was in full-self-driving mode at the time of the accident. Tesla has not commented on the complaints about braking and acceleration problems. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Apple's Defective MacBook Keyboard Settlement: US Judge Grants $50M Class-Action ResolutionA US judge has approved a $50 million class-action settlement to address consumer claims against Apple regarding faulty MacBook keyboards.

Apple has denied any wrongdoing. Eligible class members will receive compensation ranging from $50 to $395 based on the extent and nature of their keyboard repairs. With over 86,000 payment claims already submitted, the settlement aims to provide benefits to a significant number of individuals, despite objections raised about the adequacy of the compensation. Moreover, the court has granted a $15 million request for legal fees made by the plaintiffs' lawyers.
