futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-15 21:11:54

Amid the launch of OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, Redditors found something odd: that the AI will gladly click its way through a test meant to distinguish between humans and robots — by identifying itself as the former. Spotted by Ars Technica, this hilarious — if not foreboding — occurrence was documented on the r/OpenAI subreddit, where a user posted screenshots of ChatGPT Agent "causally clicking the 'I am not a robot' button.'"

Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Review: A Hybrid Gaming Mouse

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-12-22 02:00:00

Switching to a vertical mouse is a hard sell. Having to change how you use a mouse completely can be an intimidating task, especially with how unnatural the new hand position feels at first—you’re going entirely against the muscle memory you’ve spent years building up. One of the largest challenges to the switch is the initial loss of pointer accuracy. If you’re in an office setting, you may find yourself wandering around a bit or struggling to move your new mouse as quickly as you did before.

This keyboard case made my Pixel 9 actively painful to use — but I can’t stop typing on it anyway

Clicks Keyboard The Clicks case brings a full QWERTY keyboard with physical keys to selected phones, including the Pixel flagship series. It provides excellent tactile feedback and keyboard shortcuts to your typing experience, but makes the phone taller, a bit imbalanced, and cramped to hold or use. I lived through the early era of non-touch smartphones. My first “smart” phone was a Nokia 3250 Xpress Music with a glorious T9 keypad, and my first QWERTY was an HTC Qtek 9100 running Windows Mobil

FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-27 09:35:03

In 2024, the FTC was set to implement the "click to cancel" rule, which would have placed requirements on companies to be forthright about the terms and conditions and exit options for their subscriptions. Since that time, the agency has become a less independent part of the executive branch and in May, it delayed enforcing some parts of this rule to July 14. Today, the entire plan appears to be dead in the water after judges in the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to vacate the rule.

Scaling our observability platform by embracing wide events and replacing OTel

Efficiency breakthrough: We absorbed a 20× surge in event volume using under 10% of the CPU previously needed.
