I took Proton’s privacy-first chatbot for a spin and it failed to impress

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 12:55:43

Mitja Rutnik / Android Authority AI is becoming more and more ingrained in our society, and that trend will only continue. I’ve been using ChatGPT and Gemini ever since they launched, and honestly, I can’t imagine my workday without them. I also use them for personal projects, which means I’ve shared a fair bit of highly private information with these chatbots. This brings up the crucial question of privacy. Are you truly comfortable sharing your most intimate thoughts and ideas with a chatbot

AI Is Taking Over Your Search Engine. Here's What It's Doing and Why It Matters

For decades, the way we find information on the internet changed only in small ways.

Sure, a lot has changed under the hood, the results are likely far more relevant and the interface has some new features, but you're still typing in keywords and getting a list of websites that might hold the answer.

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools. Many are essential, while others just collect dust or don't perform their duties any better than a great knife or pair of kitchen shears. Instead of chasing every buzzy new appliance, it pays to stick with gear that's versatile, reliable and actually makes your life easier. To help you sort the essentials from the excess, we asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets are worth the hype -- and which ones are better left behind.

OpenAI has kept up a run of new releases—putting out major updates to its GPT-4 series, launching a string of generative image and video models, and introducing the ability to talk to ChatGPT with your voice. Six months ago it kicked off a new wave of so-called reasoning models with its o1 release, soon followed by o3. And last week it released its browser-using agent Operator to the public.

Google will soon fix a security loophole in Chrome’s password autofill

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google Chrome on Android will let you require biometric authentication before autofilling passwords, adding a much-needed layer of security. This feature closes a loophole, as the existing biometric protection for autofill in Google Password Manager currently only applies to apps, not the browser. A newly discovered setting explicitly states this protection is “coming soon to Chrome,” finally preventing password autofill without user verification. Man

California produces 99% of the nation’s pistachios, generating nearly $3 billion in economic value in the state.
