Apple is no stranger to class action lawsuits. The company had to pay customers $50 million over its infamous "butterfly keyboards," and $250 million over the AI features it promised to ship with certain iPhones but didn't. (Many of those features, by the way, are now coming out this year .) But in all my time covering Apple lawsuits, I'm not sure I've ever seen a potential payout this huge. As reported by The Times , Apple is facing a $32.5 billion class action lawsuit, though the actual suit might be even more notable than the sum. Why is Apple being sued? As The Times reports, the basis for the lawsuit surrounds Apple's collection of biometric data, specifically the data it collected from Illinois citizens. The suit claims Apple violated Illinois law by collecting these users' biometric data through facial recognition without properly notifying them. The state passed the "Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act" in 2008 to protect users...

Edit shareable links in Google Sheets to make documents into clean copies or downloadable CSVs One of the best features of Sheets and other Google Workspace apps is that collaborators can make and view changes in real time. In some cases, though, you may not want to share your live spreadsheet, instead providing a clean copy or a downloadable CSV. With editable sharing links, you don't need to make copies or export manually. Simply replace /edit at the end of the link with /copy (for a clean duplicate) or either /export?format=pdf or /export?format=csv (for file downloads). Create cell links to direct collaborators to specific cells or data blocks When you want collabo...

AI agents are always getting better at finding things, which includes sensitive information like your passwords, financial information, and API secrets if they are left exposed in obvious places. You may have been following the recent news coverage on OpenAI’s rogue agent attacking the Hugging Face servers during an evaluation. But you may not have noticed that tucked in OpenAI’s public disclosure on the hack is an admission that its AI models have been targeting publicly exposed online credentials even before this incident. The day after OpenAI’s disclosure, Anthropic came forward with a report of similar incidents with multiple Claude models dating as far back as April of this year. A few years ago, Security Magazine reported on a study that found up to 24 billion username and password combinations circulating on the dark web in 2022. This doesn’t even begin to account for all the exposed tokens, secrets, and API keys sitting in public repositories acr...

Snipping Tool is the default app for screenshots in Windows 11 . There's a lot more to the app than that, however: With it, you can take screen recordings, extract text from images or websites that disable copying, and use a reverse image search tool. While ShareX is still my favorite app for taking screenshots in Windows , I think Snipping Tool has reached a point where it's great for both beginners and power users. Here are 10 essential Snipping Tool hacks that every Windows 11 user should know .
