AI cheating startup Cluely went viral last week with bold claims that its hidden in-browser window is “undetectable” and can be used to “cheat on everything” from job interviews to exams.

But some startups are claiming they can catch Cluely’s users. And Cluely says it’s ready to develop hardware products like smart glasses, or even brain chips, tha...

To be sure, Patrick Stewart's regal shipment in the early video game helps paper over a lot of possible weak points with the preliminary story. ... To be sure, Patrick Stewart's regal shipment in the early video game helps paper over a lot of prospective weak points with the preliminary story. And even beyond Stewart's outstanding performance, I appreciated how the writing is succinct and to the point, without the kind of drawn-out, pause-laden shipment that identifies many video games of the time.Once I escaped out into the more comprehensive world of Oblivion for the first time, I was a bit shocked to open my map and see that I could fast travel to a large variety of critical locations right away, without any requirement to find them for myself. I felt a bit like a guilty cheater warping myself to the location of my next quest waypoint instead of hoofing through the enormous forest that I'm sure numerous artists spent countless months meticulously constructing (and, more just recently, remastering). This horse is my own now. What are you gon na do about it? Credit: Bethesda Game Studios This horse is mine now. What are you gon na do about it? Credit: Bethesda Game Studios I felt less guilty after unintentionally taking a horse. After a key mission provider advised me to go take a horse from a neighboring steady, I was a bit surprised when I mounted the first horse I saw and heard 2 greatly armed guards close-by calling me a thief and leaping into pursuit (I think I must have observed the red icon before making my mount). No matter, I believed; they're on foot and I'm now on a horse, so I can get away with my inadvertent theft quite easily.Determined not to just fast-travel through the whole game, I discovered that galloping across a rain-drenched forest through the in-game night was nearly too climatic. I ended up turning up the suggested brightness settings a few notches so I might see the meticulously rendered trees and rocks around me.After dismounting to rid a cavern of some pesky vampires, I went back to the forest to find my stolen horse was no place to be found. At this moment, I had trouble choosing if this was merely a sensible take on an unsecured, unmonitored horse straying or if I was the victim of a janky engine that could not keep track of my mount.

today, beginning just a couple of minutes after 12:30 pm Central European Summer Time (10:30 am UTC, or about 6:30 am United States Eastern Daylight Time). ... National grid operators in Spain and Portugal confirm that a massive electrical blackout has actually struck the Iberian Peninsula today, beginning simply a couple of minutes after 12:30 pm Central European Summer Time (10:30 am UTC, or about 6:30 am US Eastern Daylight Time). The outage appears to have actually resulted in near-total loss of electrical energy in Spain, Portugal, the Principality of Andorra, and a minimum of some portions of southwest France.The impacts are extensive and prevalent; in major cities like Madrid, trains are not running, airports are not able to operate, and companies and schools have closed. People are still able to utilize cellular networks to interact so far (most cell towers and network operations centers have battery or generator backup systems). Electrical demand curve from Red Elctrica site revealing the outage. Electrical demand curve from Red Elctrica site showing the interruption. Credit: Red Elctrica Bloomberg energy reporter Akshat Rathi published on Bluesky that Spanish grid operator Red Electrica claims the failure is due to grid oscillation, a phenomenon that occurs when the system is not able to suppress oscillations that typically occur as sources and load go into and leave the system. Rathi quotes Bloomberg cybersecurity reporter Ryan Gallagher, keeping in mind that a cyber attack has actually been ruled out, and the fault is most likely technical: Initial investigations into the reason for the failures recommend a technical fault instead of a cyberattack, according to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). For the moment the investigation appears to indicate a technical/cable problem, said a spokesperson for the firm in an emailed declaration. Nevertheless, ENISA is closely keeping track of the circumstance and we are in contact with the appropriate authorities at national and EU level. Ars spoke straight to a reader called Tiago Carvalho, presently in Lisbon, Portugal. According to Carvalho, banks and supermarkets in Lisbon have actually been closed for hours, with a small number of stores and restaurants staying open and accepting only money. Tourists in Lisboa are still walking around taking pleasure in the bright weather condition, but locals are doing what they can to stockpile, preparing for 3 or more days without power. Carvalho says only his 5G information connection is practical; when reached via Discord, he described the conditions like this:7 fc93bd9d12870ae4377dd1dad18e335
