Airbnb guest says host used AI-generated images in false $9,000 damages claim

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-12-16 12:15:00

WTF?! One of the many fears about AI use becoming widespread is that people can now alter images – sometimes convincingly – without any technical skills. An example of this surfaced recently when an Airbnb guest said a host manipulated photos in a false £12,000 ($9,041) damage claim. The incident took place earlier this year when a London-based woman booked a one-bedroom apartment in New York's Manhattan for two-and-a-half months while she was studying, reports The Guardian.

Weather Model based on ADS-B

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-13 10:14:56

I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle and an antenna to receive ADS-B messages. These are short packets of data, broadcast by every plane in the sky, to inform others of their position, heading, speed and other flight data. The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them. All you need is an antenna and a dongle to ingest the data on your PC (pictured above), which can be bought for les

Over the past few years, Apple has made some progress on self-service repairability, following years of criticism over how tightly it locks down its devices. Now, a new report questions how much Apple really is complying with right-to-repair regulations. Too expensive to be worth it In a 404 Media post out this week, independent repair professionals say Apple’s newly available iPad parts are so expensive, that they make repairs economically unviable.

There once was an ugly duckling, so despised by the other birds that he fled the farm to explore the wider world. But because of his very great ugliness he was taunted there too, until one day he caught his image reflected in a pond and he had turned into a beautiful swan. The Ugly Duckling, first published in 1843, was one of Hans Christian Andersen’s many autobiographical fairy tales: “It matters nothing if one is born in a duck-yard,” he wrote, “if one has lain in a swan’s egg.” Andersen’s s
