I tried the MasterClass for chefs. Here’s what I learned

If your laptop isn’t being flecked with olive oil spatter during a decathlon of online cooking classes, you’re probably doing something wrong. Of course, you’re probably doing something wrong anyway. That’s just the nature of this journey.

After a couple of weeks using YesChef, my laptop was once again in shambles. Shiny smudges on the trackpad. Crusty texture on the keys. And yes, greasy Jackson Pollock oil droplets—the kind that need to be scrape

You can’t stop generative AI fraud—but you can keep the criminals guessing

We’ve all experienced identity fraud in some way. At some point in your life, somebody has tried to be you. It’s hardly the sincerest form of flattery—more like a huge headache.

Apple’s silence on generative AI grows louder

Generative AI announcements from major tech companies continue to roll in; meanwhile, Apple’s silence on the subject grows louder.

Large language models—whether or not you believe they’re capable of true intelligence—will likely prove to be meaningfully helpful in both work and personal settings, once they become better trained and more predictable. Recent announcements from Salesforce and Microsoft have shown how AI models, trained both on huge piles of

Frontier’s CEO insists 5 Gig internet isn’t an excuse to raise prices

Hardly anyone needs 5 gigabit-per-second internet service right now, and Frontier CEO Nick Jeffery knows it.

Nonetheless, Jeffery has overseen the rollout of 5 Gig service across Frontier’s entire fiber footprint, making it the first nationwide internet service provider to do so. For $155 per month, Frontier fiber customers can now buy enough bandwidth to stream 200 Netflix videos in 4K HDR simultaneously. (The priciest Netflix plan allows for no more than four streams at onc

‘This could actually be catastrophic’: What the end of the public health emergency means for telehealth

Over the past few weeks, desperate messages have been pouring into the telehealth company Boulder Care from patients who say a new proposed rule by the federal government could put their health—and their lives—at risk.

The rule, proposed by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), would require anyone being prescribed certain controlled substances via telemedicine to see a doctor in person in order to continue their care online. That includes drugs like buprenorphine, which
