When you install Ubuntu for the first time, you’ll notice a post-installation wizard popping up on the screen. Aside from a couple of slides on driver updates and GNOME tweaks, it will also include a slide about Ubuntu Pro. If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably skip it and go about your tinkering adventures without giving it a second thought.

As U.S. manufacturing firms weather a constant barrage of cyberattacks, the various industries in that sector — which underpin everything from military readiness to everyday necessities — are banding together to learn from past incidents and boost their collective defenses. Even as other critical infrastructure sectors like energy, healthcare and telecommunications receive more attention from most policymakers, cybersecurity firms have repeatedly found that manufacturing is the most targeted of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors recognized by the U.S. government. Hackers see manufacturers as especially enticing victims, because they make and store sensitive intellectual property, operate businesses that can’t afford interruptions…

Custom GPTs can help SEO teams move faster by turning repeatable tasks into structured workflows. If you don’t have access to paid ChatGPT, you can still use these prompts as standalone references by copying them into your notes for future reuse.

To get better at writing prompts, practice with small tasks first, iterate on prompts, and take notes on what gets you good outputs.  AI also tends to ramble, so it helps…

The thing is, you’ll have to hand over $2,900 to get one, and that’s an awful lot of money. If that’s pocket change for you, great, go get one on launch day.

For a while, I only thought of myself as a flip phone guy. I loved the idea of a phone that only took up half of my pocket, and I didn’t really care what companies did with their book-style foldables. Then, Samsung launched its Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it quickly won me over. Sure, it was probably a little too expensive, but the hardware felt brilliant, and I finally figured out how to use a device like this as a regular phone, which kind of justified the whole experience. Is $2,900 too much money for the Galaxy Z TriFold?250…
