OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent casually clicks through “I am not a robot” verification test

Maybe they should change the button to say, "I am a robot"? On Friday, OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, which can perform multistep tasks for users, proved it can pass through one of the Internet's most common security checkpoints by clicking Cloudflare's anti-bot verification—the same checkbox that's supposed to keep automated programs like itself at bay.

Samsung may be killing bootloader unlocking on all phones with One UI 8

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung appears to be disabling bootloader unlocking in One UI 8 on more devices than before. Previously, only US models lacked the OEM Unlock toggle, but the restriction now seems to be spreading to global models as well. A contributor on XDA Developers discovered that Samsung is likely stripping out the necessary code to unlock bootloaders entirely. Samsung might be quietly locking down its phones even more tightly with the One UI 8 update. A new report

If you have 90 minutes to spare, play the cyberpunk horror game s.p.l.i.t

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-29 06:00:33

s.p.l.i.t is the most badass typing game I’ve ever played. It’s actually more of a hacking simulator, cyberpunk thriller and puzzle experience than a typing game, but its core loop is bookended by sequences of high-intensity letter pecking with gruesome consequences — think Mavis Beacon as designed by Ted Kaczynski — and the final scenes have a way of searing themselves into your psyche. Not to mention, the whole thing takes place on a keyboard, no mouse or gamepad. So I guess it’s technically o

The New ‘Long Walk’ Trailer Promises a Grim, Nightmarish Stephen King Survival Tale

Author Stephen King and director Francis Lawrence are both known for deftly handling tales involving kids put through hell with no guarantee they’ll survive. Think the Losers’ Club in It for King and every young person to appear in a Hunger Games movie for Lawrence. So to combine their talents on The Long Walk, based on King’s 1979 dystopian novel, feels rather ideal—not to mention nightmarish, as the film’s brutal first trailer suggested.

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work?
