Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half

Android phones are finally getting the feature that users have been waiting

  The website Android Authority has released information about a feature that will make it much easier to monitor battery health for Android device users. According to the document, which was published by Android expert Mishal Rahman, Google could start offering users notifications that their device's battery has degraded. Android users currently have to resort to external apps or use special commands to check battery health, whereas Apple has been offering iPhone battery health statistics for quite some time. Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 has a hidden Battery Health app, according to Rahman. While it doesn't yet activate the battery health meter, the codes indicate that the option will display information such as the percentage of battery charge compared to when the battery was new. Icons are also detected indicating that the battery is low or unable to read the battery. In the Settings section, alerts are sent when there are battery health updates (when the phone can't r

This AI can locate you from a photo

  Stanford students have created a new artificial intelligence project that has the potential to become a "privacy nightmare" because it can determine the location where a photo was taken. The project is called PIGEON (Image Geolocation Prediction) and is designed to help find the locations where Google Street View photos were taken. However, when given several photos it had never seen before, this AI model was able to find their locations with great accuracy. Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union says this could have serious privacy implications, including government surveillance, corporate surveillance and tracking. For example, governments could use PAGEON to find dissidents or see if you've visited "forbidden" sites. All in all, in the wrong hands, this kind of technology can wreak havoc. Motivated by these concerns, the students said that the technology would not be available to the public, but if they could do something like this, the o

Brussels launched proceedings against the X network

  The European Commission has launched official proceedings against the social network X, formerly Twitter, on suspicion that it has failed to fulfill its obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA), thus violating the rights of the European Union. The new regulation, which came into force last year, mandates the very large internet platforms and search engines to step up their fight against illegal content and risks to public safety and to protect their services from manipulative techniques. The procedure will focus on preventing the spread of illegal content in the EU, on the effectiveness of the measures taken to combat the manipulation of information, in particular the system of "community notifications" and the measures taken by the X network to increase the transparency of its platform, the Commission states. Emphasizing that he will conduct a thorough investigation as a priority. The X Network, owned by Elon Musk, is part of a group of big tech companies und

“Google Maps” is getting a new feature, and here is what it improves

  Nowadays, it seems nearly impossible to keep something like your location a secret, and we are often left at the mercy of companies to take the appropriate steps to ensure this. To achieve just that goal, Google has released new location controls for Maps designed to give you better control over what data is captured and where. One of the most significant changes being introduced is the option to save your Timeline directly to your device instead of the cloud. If you do not already know, the Timeline is an encrypted record of all the areas and attractions you have visited. You need to turn on location history; it is off by default, to activate Timeline. As part of the Google Maps update, Location History will automatically delete your data after three months, compared to the previous 18 months. However, you can delete all information whenever you want or you can turn off automatic deletion. Additionally, you can turn off Location History at any time. Google Maps will also let you cli

How artificial intelligence changed the internet in 2023

  Although it does not look like it, ChatGPT is only a year old. It came out in November 2022, and a lot has changed in the meantime. The rise of artificial intelligence systems is being called by many a new industrial revolution and has raised various philosophical and ethical questions. Therefore, it has been a big year for chatbots and other AI stuff – even though it is all happening fast, we still do not seem to be aware of what is changed. During 2023 we learned that AI can "hallucinate", but not in a fun way. Those hallucinations make linguistic sense and contain some elements of reality. That is why it is not always easy to separate the truth from complete nonsense. The internet has been flooded with stupid things "said" by various chatbots, for example, Google Bard presented incorrect things as correct, while ChatGPT managed to ruin a lawyer's career. Deepfake has entered the mainstream over the year, as new fake AI-generated content looks even more real

He has access to photos, videos, surfing history: Google's AI could know about users

  One of the most common expressions associated with the most popular search engine in the world is that it knows us better than even our closest friends because, thanks to tracking everything we do on the Internet, Google knows what we like, what we eat, whether we exercise, what music we listen to, etc. But that's nothing compared to what Google is thinking about, a new tool, that is, an option based on artificial intelligence that could really have full insight into everything we do in our lives. As commented by Google in an internal meeting, their tool would be like ChatGPT, with the difference that this tool would fully know people and their lives and habits and would be able to give them suggestions, tips and so on that would be personalized exclusively for them . This new product, which is still being discussed within Google, so it is not known if the company will actually start its development, is called Project Ellmann and should provide a "bird's eye view of the

‘Meta’ introduces new ‘Messenger’ encryption: 'We don't know what's sent either'

Meta said it will introduce default encryption for personal calls and messages through the Messenger app so "no one, including Meta, can see what is being sent or said." It's a major update to privacy terms reminiscent of Meta's other app, WhatsApp, CNBC reports. Messenger boss Loredana Crisan added in an accompanying post on the company's blog that it will take an indefinite amount of time to encrypt all conversations. In 2016, users were given the option to choose whether they wanted to protect their communications through so-called end-to-end encryption, and now it will be the default option. This change was confirmed by the CEO of "Meta", Mark Zuckerberg, with a post on the social network "Facebook" and on that occasion he congratulated the team for a job well done.

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard

ChatGPT has serious competition: Google introduced Gemini

Google has announced the launch of its most powerful artificial intelligence model yet, called Gemini, which the company claims has surpassed Open Al's GPT-3.5 generative system. Gemini will be available in three different sizes, which are the largest and most powerful Gemini ultra, Gemini pro, which has a wide range of uses, and Gemini nano, which is used for special tasks and mobile devices, reports CNN. "Gemini was built to be multi-modal, meaning it can understand and combine different types of information, including test, code, audio, video and images," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. This AI model will be available through Google Cloud from December 13 and will work simultaneously with Google's Bard chatbot.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WRITE LAWS: A regulation written entirely by chatbots was adopted in Brazil

  The city council of Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, passed a law whose text was written entirely with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) produced by ChatGPT. The document was created by AI with the help of questions entered by city council member Ramiro Rosario, and the proposal of that law allows the municipality not to charge taxpayers for replacing water meters if they are stolen, reported TASS. The city council already approved the document, and it was signed by the mayor Sebastiu Melu, and the members of the council, the mayor, and the citizens only found out after the law was passed that it was completely written by AI. - Our strategy was not to tell anyone that the AI did it, we just wanted to conduct an experiment. In the coming years, society will face a revolution in various fields thanks to artificial intelligence, and politics will not be left out of these changes, Rosario said. The American company OpenAI introduced the ChatGP

iPhone devices are at risk, Apple has issued an important warning

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you should update your device as soon as possible because Apple has released a fix for two Zero Day vulnerabilities that hackers can use to steal your personal information. That said, both questions are about the WebKit "engine" used by Safari on all platforms. iOS, iPadOS and macOS are at risk, meaning there is a potentially wide range of devices that could be attacked. One problem is “the processing of Internet content where sensitive information may be exposed. Another problem is that there is a risk of a hacker injecting malicious code because there is a memory error. The fixes are available in iOS 17.1.2, iPadOS 17.1.2, and macOS 14.1.2, as well as Safari 17.1.2 for macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura operating systems. To download the update if you have an iPhone, go to: Settings->General->Software Update, and it should say iOS 17.1.2 available. Apple says the following models are affected:   iPhone XS and later models i

“Google” explains how it plans to protect “Chrome”

  “Google” has officially announced plans to phase out third-party cookies as part of the “Privacy Sandbox” initiative. This approach will be implemented in phases and will begin testing 1% of users in early 2024, followed by a more extensive elimination of third-party cookies during the third quarter of next year. External cookies are tracking codes that are placed by websites and are used primarily for online advertising and tracking user habits on different websites. They help advertisers create profiles of users' interests, after which they can offer them more specific ads. However, these same external cookies can also be used to track the user's browsing habits, leading to a loss of privacy. “Google's” decision to eliminate third-party cookies will represent a significant step forward in protecting online privacy. The process aims to reduce the tracking of users across the network, while allowing the most essential online services to remain easily accessible. During th

Update Google Chrome urgently, a serious problem has been detected

  Every update brings with it the chance to exploit a Zero Day vulnerability, and that is something you should protect at all costs. Recently, a Zero Day vulnerability was also spotted for Google Chrome, so Google released an important security update for those with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2023-6345 and was discovered by the Threat Analysis Group on November 24. It's not detailed yet to avoid further exploitation, but it's known to affect something called Skia – an open source 2D graphics library used in Chrome's graphics engine. Although Google only discovered the issue last week, it's not known how long malicious actors were able to use it, or exactly how much damage it caused. This vulnerability could allow hackers to remotely access personal data and inject malicious code, potentially leading to data theft. Google automatically releases the update to all Chrome browsers, so if you do not already have it, it s

Google Drive in trouble: A bunch of users' data has mysteriously disappeared

Some users of the Google Drive service are reporting the loss of data, which has been stored for months, and it seems that this is not the only Google application affected by the problem.   When it comes to online data storage, Google Drive is among the most popular solutions. It's free and offers additional upgrades and more storage space for a relatively low price. However, some users are reporting losing data from the previous few months on the service, and it's possible that this isn't the only Google app affected by the problem. Users of social networks report that in addition to losing data from Google Drive, they also have problems with the Gmail service. A user shared his problem on the forums, noting that files from Google Drive suddenly disappeared. Drive returned to normal in May 2023. The issue is reported to Google's support team, but the user points out that there has been no response from Google engineers and is unable to know if his issue is being invest

“Google Bard” can now watch “YouTube” videos for you

Google Bard users can now get details about the YouTube videos they watch thanks to an AI chatbot. The new extension that Bard received allows it to understand what the content of the video is and, based on that, responds to requests for information made by users. "We're taking the first steps to improve Bard's understanding of YouTube videos… we've heard you want to dig deeper into YouTube videos." So we're expanding the YouTube extension so you can talk to Bard about it," Google said. Thanks to this, when you ask the Bard to find you a particular clip, you can now ask it additional questions about the contents of that clip, including a summary or something for specific details. Let's recall that in September Google announced a number of new options that come with artificial intelligence on services such as Flights, Maps, Docs, Dive, Gmail and many others.

Police warns: Disable this option on your children's iPhone models

Apple once a year introduces new versions of its operating system for mobile devices, which usually bring big news and changes for iPhone and iPad owners, while throughout the year the company releases smaller updates that bring mainly security patches.  The latest version of Apple's mobile operating system for phones and tablets, as well as the latest operating system for smart watches from this company, brought a small but interesting option that could be quite useful for someone.  However, on the other hand, that option hides certain dangers, especially for children. At least that is what they claim from a police station in the US state of Ohio, from which they warned all users of Apple devices, and this especially applies to the youngest, that is, their parents, that they should be very careful with its use.  This is the NameDrop option, recently available on iPhone and Apple Watch, which allows users to easily share contact information with other users simply by bringing the d

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing.

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia.  On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33. Barrels for August delivery traded 52 cents higher at $74.86. On the American market, the price of a barrel increased by 86 cents, to 70.72 dollars.  Traders were encouraged by slightly increased estimates of US economic growth in the first quarter and a sharp fall in inventories last week, by as much as 9.6 million barrels.  The US economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, compared to the same period last year, 0.2 percentage points stronger than previous estimates showed. At the end of 2022, it increased by 0.9 percent.  Prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's announcement that

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o
