Not every sale happens at the register before AT&T business Wireless checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long. Basically a staring contest where everyone loses. It's crazy what people will say during an awkward silence. Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold. That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale or two. Sometimes I do miss the bonding time. Sometimes AT&T business Wireless connecting changes everything.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has acquired UK startup Cinemersive Labs, which develops AI tools to convert 2D photos and videos into 3D volumetric images. The team will join Sony's Visual Computing group to improve game rendering, visual fidelity and AI driven graphics. The move aligns with Sony's broader push into machine learning for gaming, including upscaling tech like PSSR and future graphics advancements. ChatGPT is now integrated into Apple CarPlay for users running iOS 26.4, offering a voice first experience designed for hands free use while driving. Users can resume or start chats, but the assistant can access navigation, vehicle data or control apps like Waze or WhatsApp. Free users get up to two hours of voice use per day while paid plans offer near unlimited access with caps on the most advanced model. WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg pushed back on Cloudflare's claim that its new EM Dash platform is a spiritual successor to WordPR, arguing it doesn't solve core issues like plugins and may primarily promote Cloudflare's own services. He praised the engineering and open source approach, but said M Dash is more limited, noting it works best with Cloudflare's ecosystem, raising concerns about vendor lock in. Mullenweg said the competition is welcome, but a true successor would need to be more open. Utah is launching a one year pilot allowing Legion Health's Chatbot to renew certain psychiatric prescriptions for without a doctor, limited to 15 low risk medications for stable patients already under care. State officials say it could cut costs and ease shortages, but psychiatrists warn the system is opaque, may miss clinical nuance and won't expand access for high need patients. The tool includes guardrails and human escalation, but experts question its safety, transparency and whether it solves a real gap in care. Anthropic will no longer let its clawed subscriptions cover usage through third party tools like OpenClaw, forcing users to switch to separate pay as you go pricing starting April 4. The change follows surging demand from tools like OpenClaw, which strained Anthropic's infrastructure and signals a shift towards prioritizing its own products and API usage. Subscribers will receive a one time credit, but continued third party use will cost extra. Meta has paused work with AI data vendor Mercour following a security breach that may have exposed sensitive information about how major labs train AI models. Other AI companies are also reassessing their relationships with Mercur as they investigate the scope of the incident, raising concerns about potential leaks of proprietary training data and industry practices. NASA allowed astronauts on the Artemis 2 mission to bring iPhone 17 Pro Max devices, marking one of the first times smartphones have been fully approved for extended use in space. The phones can't connect to the Internet or Bluetooth and are mainly used for photos and videos inside the Orion capsule. NASA fast tracked safety certifications for the devices, adapting them for microgravity conditions, which where loose objects and materials pose risks. A report from Fairlinked, which claims to be an association of Commercial LinkedIn Users, alleges that LinkedIn uses hidden JavaScript to scan for more than 6,000 browser extensions and collect detailed device data, potentially linking it to user identities and employers. Bleeping computer notes that testing confirmed the extension detection technique, which can allow browser fingerprinting and tracking. Though claims about how the data is used are still unverified. LinkedIn says it performs the scanning to detect abusive extensions and protect its platform, denying that it uses the data for sensitive user information. Reddit announced it's deprecating the R All feed to simplify the platform and enhance Home Feed personalization. It was initially removed from apps and fully removed in February, but but Reddit is now taking these final steps, redirecting links to the Home feed. The feed is still available on old Reddit and trending content can be found on R. Popular Reddit is also implementing new default privacy settings in early April for users under the age of 18, which will hide their profiles and prevent followers where were you when Gmail launched April 1, 2004? It's been a while, but now you can change a Google account username at least to all users in the US After a gradual rollout in December, usernames can be changed only once every 12 months and all existing emails will still be available with the former email address remaining active and able to receive emails as well. Both emails will work as a Google sign in and all data in Photos and Drive and other Google services are also accessible.
