The Dell Laptop Buying Guide UK: Which Dell Laptop Should You Buy? When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Skyrocketing prices are driving many to the secondhand market. I've never bought a PC or component second-hand, but that may change if this RAM shortage doesn't let up soon. I started thinking about the issue after listening to this week's episode of The Full Nerd, which features some smart conversation about the consequences of purchasing used components as well as the best way to safely find and buy them.

Forecasts of annual revenues by leading AI players are closely watched by markets as an indicator of overall demand for the tech, which is attracting huge investment. Questions raised over AI growth as ChatGPT maker forecasts this year's revenue at $50bn, way below the $70bn signalled before Fri 9 Oct 2026 04.06 EDTFirst published on Fri 9 Oct 2026 04.04 EDT OpenAI has revealed that it is making about $20bn less in projected revenue than it had recently indicated to investors, raising questions about the break-neck growth rate in demand for AI. The ChatGPT-maker company has told investors that its revenues for this year would reach $50bn (£37bn), a projection based on sales up to the end of September. However, this is significantly less than the $70bn that it had signalled in information provided to investors last month, which was widely reported.

In a new series of interviews, we're meeting some of the PhD students that were selected to take part in the Doctoral Consortium at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) . This time, we meet Adeela Bashir to find out how she is contributing to the field of cybersecurity. Tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I am a PhD researcher at SCEDT, Teesside University in the UK, working at the intersection of Cybersecurity, Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT), and AI safety. My PhD asks a central question: How can we understand and mitigate cyber threats when the adversaries are adaptive?

'Careless use of AI is the real threat - not the ghost stories' Image caption, Meredith Whittaker believes science doesn't support the idea that AI will turn against humans Warning: This article contains strong language. Meredith Whittaker has little patience for the AI doom that dominates headlines - she thinks warnings of AI turning on humanity is a fear not anchored in science. The risk is very real, says the boss of the Signal Foundation, which runs the encrypted messaging app of the same name, but it's not the shiny ghost stories the wild-eyed boys are talking about. Instead, she believes the more immediate danger is the technology being used carelessly. She cites an alleged incident, reported by CNN, in which a chatbot used by US intelligence invented information about a Chinese vessel carrying nuclear material, reportedly leading the US to prepare a military response.

'People use AI to avoid paying for school photos, but they don't realise the consequences' Image caption, Photographer Ian Gilbert says he's heard parents boasting about how they use AI to take the watermark off to avoid paying for school photos A photographer is warning parents who use artificial intelligence to take the watermark off school pictures about the dangers of how companies can use images of their children. Ian Gilbert, founder of Emotion Picture Photography, said he had heard parents boasting at the school gates about how they use the tool to avoid paying for photos. The scary thing is when you submit a picture to AI by default it is allowed to do whatever it wants and I don't think a lot of parents realise that, he said. An AI safety expert said he understood why people did it, and that it may seem harmless, but uploading any identifiable information, including photographs, was not worth the risk. Gilbert, from Pontypool, Torfaen, urged parents to think carefully before uploading their child's photograph to an AI tool.

As Russia's attacks on Ukraine's cities intensify and autumn's cooler temperatures hint at another tough winter to come, Ukrainians are wrestling with how to meet the twin challenges ahead: Russian drone and missile strikes and the biting cold. It was a very difficult winter last year in Kyiv, says mother of two Mariia Shostak, who is now packing her bags and leaving her small flat. With prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures and frequent power cuts brought about by Russia's attack on the country's power grid, last winter was one of the hardest so far. There were some days and weeks that were unbearable.

Zelenskyy accuses U.S. of inaction as Russian strikes kill over 70 in two days One of the two passenger buses struck by projectiles in Kramatorsk, near the front line in eastern Ukraine, on Thursday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the U.S. of being unwilling to help Ukraine after a Russian bomb attack on Thursday killed at least 35 people in the east, sending the two-day death toll from Russian strikes to over 70. Hours after the strike on the embattled city of Kramatorsk tore through two buses, Zelenskyy criticized Washington's effort to pursue economic ties with Russia while also seeking to mediate the more than four-year war. City authorities reported a new drone attack in the evening that killed two people. That brought to 35 the total death toll in the city. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

A general view shows the current state of the 18.6-mile Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Established in the aftermath of the 1986 nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the 1,003-square-mile restricted area remains under strict state control. Just over 40 years ago, what began as a routine safety test at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (or Chornobyl in Ukranian) in Soviet Ukraine spiraled into one of the most recognizable disasters of the 20th century.
