Cybersecurity researchers have issued an urgent warning as almost 1.5 million private photos from dating apps are exposed. Affected apps include the kink dating sites BDSM People and CHICA, as well as LGBT dating services PINK, BRISH, and TRANSLOVE - all of which were developed by M.A.D Mobile. The leaked files include photos used for verification, photos removed by app moderators, and photos sent in direct messages between users - many of which were explicit. These sensitive snaps were being stored online without password protection, meaning anyone with the link could view and download them. Researchers from Cybernews, who discovered the vulnerability, say this easily exploited security flaw put up to 900,000 users at risk of further hacks or extortion.

I've searched high and low for an enterprise-grade laptop that's portable, has the tools I need to keep my work secure, but that's also powerful enough to run graphically demanding 3D models, design software, and games. But up until now the closest thing I've come across is a creator laptop that can't compete in the portability stakes. Plus it looks too industrial for the office -- yuk! In fact, it destroys it completely, combining an extremely lightweight, thin, and attractive chassis, a powerful AI-capable chipset, and most importantly – the one thing that has me so in awe – graphics power that can rival a gaming laptop. How much graphics power am I talking about?

The appearance of the Blue Screen of Death in Windows is never a good thing. But Microsoft is aiming to at least make the screen look better when it does appear.

Deciding to get back into the dating game can be nerve-wracking at any age. But the stakes may feel a little higher if you're in your 40s, especially when considering the cost of dating sites nowadays and whether or not they're truly worth it for finding love. You may assume that people in your demographic either aren't interested in dating or are already settled into long-term relationships, but many people in their 40s are single parents, divorced, or unpartnered, leading to a diverse age range within the dating pool. Getting on one of the best dating sites for over 40 singles could help you find your forever partner -- it's not too late to date. According to a recent Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data, as of 2021, nearly 25 percent of 40-somethings in the U.S. have never been married.

Google.org, the tech giant's philanthropic arm, is investing millions of dollars into getting nonprofits up to speed on generative AI, part of a massive funding effort to empower organizations to adopt the tech, including Google's own AI offerings. Channeled through community foundations in Atlanta, Austin, Columbia, New York City, and San Francisco, more than 10 million in grants have been awarded to technical nonprofits that will then supply individualized AI support to organizations in their communities. In 2024, Google.org announced an initiative-wide investment in nonprofit AI integration, including a generative AI accelerator program and an AI Opportunity Fund, which would funnel nearly 100 million into training and integration programs for participating nonprofits. Over the last year, 20 organizations have benefitted from opportunity fund grants, earmarked specifically for investing and scaling their AI expertise, staffing, and capacity. "Organizations across the Fund spent the first year creating, vetting, and piloting new, tailored AI curricula to provide practical skills to the communities they serve," Maggie Johnson, vice president and global head of Google.org

DJI's debut portable power station can put out 2,200 watts steadily (2,600 watts surge), has two USB-C PD 3.1 ports (140 watts), and boasts DJI's proprietary SDC ports for fast-charging drone batteries.

It gets a little noisy with several gadgets charging, and cable and bag accessories cost extra, but it still claims a place in our best portable power stations guide. This is one of the best portable power stations for camping or road trips because it's a manageable size. EcoFlow's River 2 Pro has a LiFeP04 battery inside, which is good for 768 watt-hours.
