Google has detailed exactly how many prompts can be used in a 24-hour period with its Gemini chatbot's free, AI Pro and AI Ultra tiers. Previously, Google was more vague on how many questions were permitted under each tier. Per Google's Gemini support page, those using the AI chatbot for free have up to five prompts on its 2.5 Pro model a day. For Gemini AI Pro, a subscription tier that costs $20 per month, you'll be allowed 100 prompts. With Gemini AI Ultra at $200 a month, that number is 500

Michael Calore: You reported that most of the seasoned players in the online gambling space are sticking to the first model that you mentioned, which is just making an agent that does the research and can make tips for what would be a good bet, but it leaves the final step of actually placing the bet in the hand of you, the person who's putting their money on the line. But how is it going for the companies and the users that are taking the riskier step of letting the AI agent actually place the

Netskope follows Rubrik as a rare cybersecurity IPO, both backed by Lightspeed

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-11-18 20:35:58

Cybersecurity is a massive sector, but startups in the category are more likely to be acquired than go public. Even Wiz, which for a time held the title of the fastest-growing startup, abandoned its IPO ambitions when it agreed to sell to Google earlier this year. In the past few years, there have been scant few significant cybersecurity debuts such as SentinelOne in 2021, and Rubrik last year.

Computing’s Top 30: Nipun Jaswal

To keep his edge, international cybersecurity expert Nipun Jaswal does more than stay up on current security threats and trends; he literally keeps his hands in the game, regularly coding—in up to 10 different languages—and doing lab work including exploring attack vectors and hunkering down with disassemblers and debuggers. Remaining “deeply technical” is not just part of his practice, it’s also fundamental to his leadership philosophy, which centers on staying curious and “close to the core o

cnbc.com Jonathan Vanian 2025-11-19 00:14:32

An ex-Meta employee sued the social media company on Monday over allegations that its WhatsApp messaging service contained "systemic cybersecurity failures" that potentially compromise user privacy. Attaullah Baig, WhatsApp's former head of security, alleged that Meta retaliated against him after he notified leaders, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, of security issues at the messaging app. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that after joining W

Programmers Using AI Create Way More Glaring Security Issues, Data Shows

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology. Looking at code from thousands of developers and tens of thousand repositories, Apiiro found that AI-assisted devs were indeed producing three or four times mo

Surge in networks scans targeting Cisco ASA devices raise concerns

Large network scans have been targeting Cisco ASA devices, prompting warnings from cybersecurity researchers that it could indicate an upcoming flaw in the products. GreyNoise has recorded two significant scanning spikes in late August, with up to 25,000 unique IP addresses probing ASA login portals and also Cisco IOS Telnet/SSH. The second wave, logged on August 26, 2025, was largely (80%) driven by a Brazilian botnet, using roughly 17,000 IPs. In both cases, the threat actors used overlappi

WhatsApp’s former head of cybersecurity filed a lawsuit on Monday alleging that parent company Meta disregarded internal flaws in the app’s digital defenses and exposed billions of its users. He says the company systematically violated cybersecurity regulations and retaliated against him for reporting the failures.

Once that old laptop or printer stops working, you need to get rid of it. However, that can be easier said than done. Throwing it in the trash will only lead to more items that could be recycled slowly deteriorating in a landfill, and depending on the device in question could be illegal. That's probably why a recent CNET survey found that almost a third of US adults still have old, unused electronics hanging around the house. The good news?

And now, we live in a world where AI servers crammed with accelerators account for half of the money spent on systems worldwide.

Tech companies big and small now struggle to tantalize you with tech without telling you how much it will cost, or—hell—whether you can even buy it. The still-ongoing IFA 2025 tech conference in Berlin proved how merely shipping tech to the U.S. is more tenuous than at any time in the last few decades. From what I saw and heard both on the floor and off, it became clear that the era of plentiful, affordable, and cool shit will melt away in favor of an epoch of dull and ever-more expensive tech.
