techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-09-11 00:47:00

In a nutshell: A recent investigation into a budget external hard drive sold under the UnionSine brand has shed light on the persistent risks consumers face when purchasing low-cost storage devices from online marketplaces.

Matt Horne / Android Authority Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been showing friends a notification on my phone. It simply reads, “Don’t forget, you’re going to die.” Most of them immediately responded by looking at me with a mixture of confusion and concern. I like to let that look sit for a moment before explaining what’s going on. Far from suggesting that I’m unraveling mentally, these notifications are from an app that wants me to cherish life.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Keeping up with Gemini’s ever-growing list of capabilities is an impossible task. Between video generation tools like Veo 3, new features for Gemini Live, AI-powered web browsers, and more, Google’s doing so much with Gemini and so quickly that knowing what Gemini can and can’t do isn’t as easy as it should be. Not only does this make Gemini feel overwhelming at times, but it can also cause many features to be easily overlooked, especially the less flashy ones. F

Data brokers may be illegally selling your personal information

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-11 13:31:37

Some data brokers may be illegally selling your information – preventing you from finding out what personal data is held, and opting out from its collection and resale. Privacy campaigners say they’ve “uncovered a troubling pattern” that may indicate companies who collect and re–sell personal data may not be complying with state laws … While Europe has tough privacy laws governing the collection and use of personal data, there is no equivalent federal legislation in the US.
