Cloudflare experiment will block AI bot scrapers unless they pay a fee

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 04:15:23

Cloudflare has rolled out a couple of new measures meant to keep AI bot crawlers at bay. To start with, every new domain customer that signs up with the company to manage their website traffic will now be asked if they want to allow AI crawlers or to block them altogether. The company released a free tool in 2024 to block AI bots, but with this change, users can block them by default without having to tinker with their settings.

Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 04:30:12

Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine. Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, sa

Spegel - A Terminal Browser That Uses LLMs to Rewrite Webpages June 23, 2025 TL;DR Spegel is a proof-of-concept terminal web browser that feeds HTML through an LLM and renders the result as markdown directly in your terminal.

A new report from The San Francisco Standard claims that Bay Area companies are investing in a service that can alleviate some of the stresses caused by hiring younger employees: etiquette experts. These experts are making good money explaining to new hires why it’s inappropriate to show up to work in sweatpants or put your feet on the table during a meeting.

Cloudflare will now, by default, block AI bots from crawling its clients’ websites

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-09-26 12:00:57

However, such systems don’t provide the same opportunities for monetization and credit as search engines historically have. AI models draw from a great deal of data on the web to generate their outputs, but these data sources are often not credited, limiting the creators’ ability to make money from their work. Search engines that feature AI-generated answers may include links to original sources, but they may also reduce people’s interest in clicking through to other sites and could even usher i
