These apps allow you to make voice and video calls to anyone else who uses the app, allowing you to communicate wherever you have an internet or data connection — without the need for a phone contract. Despite presenting itself as an innovative and forward-thinking oasis in the middle of the desert with famous cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the UAE is surprisingly oppressive and restrictive to its own people and expatriates — below that shiny and alluring exterior....

I tested Bitwarden and Dashlane and compared them across several categories. While Bitwarden’s free plan is better, it has its limitations. Therefore, Dashlane is the better choice in an all-around comparison due to its valuable extras, ease of use, and vault versatility. However, Bitwarden won in the 2FA, price, and password generator categories and gave tough competition to Dashlane in others. You can try its free plan, but I recommend Dashlane due to its premium features, such as a built-in VPN and dark web monitoring....

Last Updated: Aug 1, 2025 Borderless VPN is a newcomer with some price and performance issues that it needs to overcome before becoming a worthwhile option. As a smaller Norway-based company, Borderless earns okay ratings from users. They operate out of just 8 countries with 12 servers and only 12 IP addresses. They do have a strict no-logging policy, which is ideal, but they lack some of the functionality and speed of the bigger boys in this arena....

According to the announcement, these new multimedia features are partly a response to user requests and evolving needs. Character.AI is expanding beyond text, moving into video and social experiences. Character.AI introduced several multimedia features for users.

AvatarFX will offer an image-to-video experience, allowing avatars to perform multiple actions. “Our community has been asking for more ways to build and explore new worlds, and these features make it easier than ever to bring depth and emotion to every story,” states the document....

Rep. Jennifer Wexton, diagnosed with PSP last year, used an AI voice model to address the House of Representatives. This technology, developed by ElevenLabs, enabled her to speak clearly despite her condition. Wexton’s speech emphasised her ongoing fight for disability rights, a cause she has championed throughout her career. “I hope that when people see me continuing to do all I can to keep living my life and doing this job I love as best I can, they understand and appreciate the courage, resilience, and spirit that so many Americans of differing abilities demonstrate each and every day....

The hacker GHNA freely shared the stolen data which disclosed personal information along with order records and customer service dialogues, as first reported by Hudson Rock. The security breach did not stem from an advanced cyberattack since the hacker obtained stolen credentials from 2021 through Raccoon Infostealer malware. The exposed data contains names together with addresses and emails and orders and support interactions. The exposed data allows hackers to perform phishing attacks and execute fraud schemes and conduct account takeovers....

Last Updated: Aug 7, 2025 Since its inception in 2016, DefenceVPN has consistently made improvements to its website and service. Without a doubt, the present iteration can be considered the most impressive thus far. Although it doesn’t have the reach many other providers offer, it earns a perfect score for encryption, client design, speed, and privacy. AES256 is the standard you can expect, along with OpenVPN support. The compact network is lightning-fast, and while US Netflix is currently off-limits, you can stream a lot of other content....

We are in the same ownership group as some of the industry-leading products reviewed on this site: ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, and Intego....

The family argues AI usage was not addressed in the school’s handbook. Student received detention, grade reduction, and missed National Honor Society eligibility. The lawsuit calls for clearer AI policies and teacher training in schools. The lawsuit, filed by parents Jennifer and Dale Harris, could lead to significant changes in AI policies across schools in Massachusetts, notes WCVB. According to the Harrises, their son, a high-achieving student aiming for top universities like Stanford and MIT, was unfairly penalized for his use of AI....

The AI website builder Lovable has become a preferred tool for cybercriminals who use it to create fake websites for phishing and malware attacks, according to Proofpoint research. Proofpoint found tens of thousands of fake Lovable URLs monthly since February 2025. Scams mimic Microsoft logins, UPS deliveries, and even crypto platforms. Victims risk stolen passwords, financial data, and drained digital wallets. The free website builder service allows users to create sites through text prompts, however cybercriminals use it to create fake websites that impersonate major brands....

Bankman-Fried was found guilty last November of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of FTX in November 2022. The collapse came after the cryptocurrency exchange platform ran out of funds to process customer withdrawals. The jury concluded that “Bankman-Fried had conducted an elaborate fraud whereby billions of dollars’ worth of user funds was swept into a sibling company and used to bankroll high-risk trading, venture bets, debt repayments, personal loans, political donations, and a lavish life in the Bahamas,” WIRED reported in a blog post....

The proposed Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act seeks to prohibit AI technology imports from China and penalize those who knowingly download AI models like DeepSeek with up to 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine, or both.

The bill prohibits AI technology imports and research collaboration between the U.S. and China....

Relying too much on AI can lead to overconfidence in decision-making. Creative tasks tend to benefit more from human-AI collaboration than decision-making tasks. AI can enhance human performance in specific tasks, despite collaboration challenges. This study is the first large-scale meta-analysis aimed at understanding when human-AI collaborations are effective for completing tasks and when they are not, as noted by TechXplore. Researchers analyzed over three years of data from 106 studies involving 370 experiments....

However, the software has limitations when it comes to editing, so I wanted to ensure that I could cancel my account within 30 days and get a full refund, as advertised.

If you’re looking for another professional-grade graphic designer tool with all the editing features you can need, I recommend Photoshop, which comes with a 7-day free trial, so you can evaluate the software risk-free....

It even has a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. When I tested this myself, I easily got a refund by reaching out through live chat, and the money was back in my account just 5 days later....
