Think of Bluetooth trackers and safety in the past few years and your first thought might be the misuse of Apple AirTags and similar devices against women in domestic abuse and stalking cases.Alongside collaborative initiatives to counter and shut down these malicious uses (such as the IETF’s Detection of Unwanted Location Trackers, or DULT, standard), tracker makers themselves are flipping the script, turning tech that has been used to monitor women against their will into tech that protects them.In mid-July, Seattle-based Pebblebee announced a new, free SOS safety feature, named Alert, for its $35 Clip Bluetooth tracker which, like the…

Frank GardnerBBC Security CorrespondentGetty ImagesIt is quite possible that Monday’s meeting in the White House could prove even more crucial to the future of Ukraine – and for all of Europe’s security – than last Friday’s US-Russia summit in Alaska. On the surface, that Putin-Trump reunion seemed to live down to every expectation. There was no ceasefire, no sanctions, no grand announcements. Were Ukraine and Europe about to get cut out of a deal cooked up behind closed doors by the world’s two foremost nuclear powers?Not, apparently, if Ukraine and its partners can prevent it. The presence of Sir Keir…

Alan Cumming was happy to get a do-over playing Nightcrawler in “Avengers: Doomsday“.

It was hard to take for MacIntyre, who had produced…

OpenAI announced late Friday that it’s updating its latest model to be “warmer and friendlier.” The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we’d hoped for,” with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are “subtle” but will make GPT-5 “more approachable now.” “You’ll notice small, genuine touches like ‘Good question’ or ‘Great start,’ not flattery,” the company wrote in a social media post. “Internal tests show…

From smart IDs to AI hubs, digitisation can fast-track growth and close the gap with global peers like South Korea. Ghana and South Korea gained independence around the same period, and their developmental trajectories are often compared. For five centuries, Ghana has been part of the Gold Coast, and the mineral is still the country’s most valuable export. But South Korea, initially the poorer country, now has an income level nearly nine times that of Ghana. What prompted their divergent paths? At independence, South Korea had few natural resources. After the 1950-53 Korean War, the poverty-stricken country focused on food…

Home security stands as one of the essential responsibilities that come with owning property.
