Nazi-Looted Painting Found on Real Estate Website Finally Seized by Authorities

After 80 years of being lost, Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady has finally been recovered. After it briefly appeared in an online real estate listing last month, the family that was in possession of the painting turned it in to the Argentinian authorities. The painting, a portrait of Contessa Colleoni, was one of more than 1,000 that were looted by Nazis from the collection of Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during World War II, and was last seen in 1940, according to the Lost Art

Should the Company Trucks Go Electric? Depends on When You Charge

Should the company switch its trucks, cars, and vans to electric? It’s a question that plenty of businesses operating fleets of vehicles—in industries like delivery, health care, cable companies, and utilities—are thinking through. Eighty-seven percent of fleet operators polled by Cox Automotive last year said they were expecting to bring aboard some battery-powered vehicles in the next five years. Their top concerns weren’t that different from everyday drivers’: Businesses aren’t sure how to k

Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring

These psychological tricks can get LLMs to respond to “forbidden” prompts

If you were trying to learn how to get other people to do what you want, you might use some of the techniques found in a book like Influence: The Power of Persuasion. Now, a pre-print study out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that those same psychological persuasion techniques can frequently "convince" some LLMs to do things that go against their system prompts. The size of the persuasion effects shown in "Call Me A Jerk: Persuading AI to Comply with Objectionable Requests" suggests

AirPods Max get an elegant solution to their biggest design flaw

My biggest complaint about AirPods Max over the years hasn’t been the steep price or which chip Apple put inside. It’s been the lack of wireless charging. Fortunately, an elegant solution to solve this problem has arrived. I use wireless charging for every other AirPods model, for my iPhone, and for my Apple Watch. AirPods Max lacking wireless charging all this time is disappointing. Fortunately, Mophie has introduced the Max Charging Stand, a $149.95 accessory designed specifically to give Ai

Just one word in the Google antitrust ruling was worth $20B a year to Apple

For more than a year now, there have been debates about whether Google’s payment to Apple to be the default search engine in Safari would be outlawed. While it had seemed likely this would be the case, what we got was a compromise ruling. It turned out that the difference between Apple earning $20 billion a year and $0 hinged on a single word … It had seemed likely both companies would lose The ruling just over a year ago was very clear: Google’s deal with Apple to be the default search engin

Leaked Gaza Plans Show Trump May ‘Relocate’ Palestinians to Build ‘AI-Powered Smart Cities’

For the past two years, the U.S. has been supplying tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid to Israel so that it can bomb the living crap out of the civilian population in Gaza. Now, as multiple human rights organizations accuse Israel of committing genocide in the region, America’s billionaire developer president seems to think it’s time to spin the bloodshed into real estate gold. The Washington Post has managed to get its hands on a 38-page prospectus that outlines an alleged U.S.

ReMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: A Small Yet Mighty Digital Notebook

I love a list. I can happily write the same to-do list in six different places in a single day (good thing I test digital notebooks and paper planners). I often find myself rewriting the little brainstorms in my Notes app because the ideas are still banging around in my brain, asking to be let free onto a page, digital or not. But not every brainstorm or list needs a full-size page. That's where ReMarkable's latest digital notebook comes in. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move ($449) takes the same t

Luigi Mangione's likeness used to model shirt on Shein

Luigi Mangione's likeness used to model shirt on Shein A spokesperson from Shein told BBC News: "The image in question was removed immediately upon discovery." It is thought the product he appeared to be modelling was on sale for just under $10 (£7.50). An image with his likeness, which appeared to show him wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, appeared on the fast-fashion website until its removal. Fast-fashion giant Shein has launched an investigation after an image of Luigi Mangione - acc
