I gave ChatGPT access to Apple Messages. Then it took control of my Mac

PCWorld

I gave ChatGPT access to Apple Messages. A new plugin lets ChatGPT search Messages on a Mac and even send replies, but it was a related ChatGPT feature that gave me an unsettling surprise. One of the ways for ChatGPT to escape the chatbox is with plugins, and a just-released plugin that lets ChatGPT tap into Apple's Messages app is -- unsurprisingly -- getting a lot of attention. Available now in the ChatGPT plugins directory (it's in the Public section, or you can just search for it), the new tool lets the ChatGPT app for Mac search conversations in the Messages app, give you summaries of your current messages, and even draft replies and send them, either with or without your permission. For now, ChatGPT's Apple Messages plugin only works on the ChatGPT app for Mac (sorry, Windows users), and it runs directly your Mac.

When the NCAA released a statement last week harping on its decision to not grant a blanket-waiver to members of the 2022 class that were left out of conversation regarding the new'five-for-five' eligibility guidelines, the floodgates were opened for athletes who felt as though they were being kicked to the curb. Courtroom Chaos Is Giving Pro Athletes A Bizarre Path Back To College, And It's Only Just Begun On Friday morning, the Tenth Circuit court granted the NCAA its motion for a'stay', which puts a pause on athletes using the blanket waiver granted by Judge Sweeney to athletes from the 2022 class that had a year of eligibility left. Although this puts a little bit of the chaos on hold, there will now be a further influx of lawsuits filed in state court, who have been presenting different arguments in their filings.

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold are great phones. Every foldable phone in the US has a niche. But the Pixel has something the Z Fold 8 doesn't, and it's a game-changer. As Google launched its new lineup of Pixel devices in New York, I was chilling in Myrtle Beach, enjoying a long-overdue vacation.

Your data can get stolen through a company you've never heard of

Your data can get stolen through a company you've never heard of A company may do everything right. Then a partner falls victim to hackers--and it becomes a headache for us everyday folks. Cybersecurity for businesses involves a lot of jargon unfamiliar to us consumers, and for good reason. Such language generally doesn't apply to our lives. But one concept has begun affecting us everyday users more--supply chain attacks.


Logitech's G309 wireless gaming mouse drops to a new low of 35

PCWorld

Get this 25K DPI wireless gaming mouse with 300 hours of battery life for just $35 right now at Amazon. You don't need a special gaming mouse to play PC games, but it sure makes them more fun. Today, you can get a Logitech mouse with insane battery life, optical switches, and a 25K DPI sensor for just $35 at Amazon . I've had hotel breakfasts that cost more than that (though in my defense, I didn't know it when I sat down for eggs benedict). The G309 focuses on gaming utility, with a high-speed USB wireless dongle and Bluetooth for multi-device functionality, plus 300 hours of battery life from a single AA battery. Even if that's a generous overestimation on Logitech's part, it's still months and months of gaming without worry.

It's been pretty rough sledding for the New York Mets and their fans for most of this season. While their team has the highest total payroll in MLB this year, the Mets have subjected their loyal supporters to last-place baseball and a losing record on their home field. While the play on the diamond has been particularly tough to watch, the lone constant that everyone can rely on is the ballpark food, which one furry fan found to be the case when the Mets took on the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
