Many users instinctively protect their gadgets with covers, tempered glass, or other accessories, but when it comes to laptops, these precautions may actually increase the risk of damage rather than prevent it. Experts warn against five common laptop accessories that can inadvertently harm your device. Tempered Glass: A Hidden Threat to ScreensWhile tempered glass extends the life of smartphone screens, applying it to modern slim laptops can be dangerous. Today’s laptops are compact, with minimal space between the keyboard and screen. Installing a tempered glass protector adds extra thickness, and even slight pressure—from closing the lid or placing the laptop in a bag—can crack the screen. To prevent scratches without risking damage, experts recommend placing a simple A4 sheet between ...

Google has been forced to take urgent action after its new AI tool, Gemini Nano Banana Pro, was found generating highly realistic fake PAN and Aadhaar cards, raising major concerns over privacy, identity theft, and national security. The issue came to light when Harveen Singh Chadha, a Bengaluru-based user working with Sarvam AI, shared images on his X (formerly Twitter) account showing AI‑generated PAN and Aadhaar cards created for a fictional person named Twiteerpreet Singh. The documents appeared almost identical to official IDs, alarming both cybersecurity experts and the public. Fake IDs Looked Real — Except for a Hidden AI MarkThe generated PAN and Aadhaar cards were so convincing that identifying them as fake at first glance was nearly impossible.

YouTube has begun testing a new feature called “Your Custom Feed”, currently available to a select group of users, which allows viewers to personalize their home feed and watch videos according to their preferences. This move gives users unprecedented control over the content they see and marks a major shift from the platform’s traditional algorithm-based suggestions. Previously, YouTube recommended videos based on its default algorithm, which didn’t suit all users. With Your Custom Feed, users can now type a simple prompt describing the type of videos they want to watch—like “easy cooking recipes”—and the feed will prioritize videos matching their interest. The feature essentially functions like telling a friend exactly what you want to watch. Interestingly, this development comes a...
