How to schedule a daily summary of your new newsletters sent by artificial intelligence to your email

by

Let’s tell you how to create a summary of all the newsletters received in your email electronic using artificial intelligence. For this, we are going to use the service Make to create a workflow or workflow with a three-step automation. The idea is to have an email where we receive the newsletters, and configure an automation that once a day analyzes if you have new ones in your mailbox, sends them to an AI like Gemini to make a summary for you, and to send you an email to a second account with a summary of each newsletter you have. But before we start, I must remind you that when you do this, you will be sharing your email data first with Make, where you will link your account, and then with Gemini to give you a summary. It is something that you should take into account if you are a person who wants to take maximum care of your privacy. And if you don’t want to complicate things so much, remember that we have taught you how to make a timely summary of your newsletters with AI. This will not be programmed as we are going to show you today, but you will only need to link your email directly to an AI and write the prompt corresponding. You have to use two email accounts To create this automation you will need two email accounts. One will receive the newsletters and send an automatic email with the summary of each one to your second account. A practical tip is to have an account only for newsletters. With this, first you will prevent unwanted newsletters from reaching you and so much data from your main account being shared, and on the other hand, when you create this workflow you will not be linking the email that you normally use, only the one for the newsletters. And with this, when you configure the third step or module of our workflow, that is where you will have to put the main email to receive the summaries, while all the connections and content explorations will be where the newsletters arrive. Tag your newsletters You will also have to tag all newsletters that you receive. This way, you will have all the emails under that label, and then when creating the automation it will be easier to point out where the AI ​​has to read. For example in Gmail, go to the manage labels option and create one. Once you have created the label, simply label all the emails that are newsletters. So, sender addresses will be labeledand all the emails that arrive will go directly to the tag that you have created for the newsletters. Get the AI ​​API you want to use For this automation, also we are going to need the API of an AI to be able to use it in our project. In our case, we will follow the guide that we have made for you to get the free Gemini APIand thus use Google AI to process the newsletters and send you the summaries. You simply have to enter the website of aistudio.google.com and sign in with your Google account. When you do, in the left bar click on API keysand then at the top click on Create API key. By doing so, create a new project to link the key to and that’s it. When you have created the API, you will see that it appears in the list of API keys. You just have to click on the left, below where it says Clueand a window with the API will open, starting with “AIza–“. You can do this with any other AI whose API you want to use. Now, create your automation Let’s now move on to creating our automation. As we have been doing several times, we are going to turn to Make, as it is a platform that is easy to use and very versatile. In it we will create automations with Gmail and Gemini modules, and in all of them we will have to log in. We are going to skip these steps in the guide, but to log in with Gemini you will need to enter the API that we obtained in the previous step, and with Gmail you will have to log in and give the platform permission to read all your emails and be able to write them in your name. First the Gmail module The first thing we are going to do is create a new scenario in Make, and add module Watch emails from Gmail inside him. This module is used to make the automation read emails, and can be launched when you receive a new one. Now we go to the panel to configure this module. In him, in Folder you can put All mailso that it reads all the emails, but just below it says that it does not include spam and garbage. So make sure the newsletters don’t go there. In Label you have to choose the label Newsletters that we have created before in Gmail. As a criterion you can put them all, or those you have not read yet, and below mark the processed emails as read. Finally, you can set a limit on the number of emails to process. Save it like this, and in the next step choose if you want to process the emails from now on, all of them, or from a date. Now a Gemini module to do the summary We now go to the second step, that of create a Gemini module right after Gmail. Click on the + to the right of the Gmail module, among the options look for Google Gemini, and within its functions choose the option Generate a response. This is used to generate a response from some data you give it, which in this case will be emails labeled as newsletters. Now let’s configure this module. You will first have to … Read more

summarize everything in your email inbox with Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT

by

Let’s explain to you how to make summaries of the newsletters you have in your email punctually with artificial intelligence. So, if you see that they have been accumulating but you don’t have time to read them, you will be able to ask the AI ​​to summarize them all for you. If your email is Gmail you can resort to Gemini already Claudeand if you have an outlook email then you can do it with ChatGPT. These are the AIs that have connectors for each mail service. But we will also start by telling you how we recommend organizing the newsletters in the email so that it is easier for the AI ​​to find them. First, organize your newsletters Before you start, I recommend tag all newsletters with the label or category system that Gmail and Outlook have. This way, you will be able to later ask the AI ​​to search directly in these categories instead of having to analyze the entire content of your email. Therefore, take your time entering the newsletters and tagging them. At first you will have to label them all, but then, each email address will be linked to the labelmeaning that the next ones that arrive to you and are not new will already be well labeled. Now link AI to your email Claude has a connector system where you must add and activate Gmail. Gemini allows you to do the same with its Connected Appsand in ChatGPT you have a section Applications which allows you to connect Outlook. With this previous step, you will have to link your email account to the AI ​​so that it can access and read your emails. If you are most concerned about your privacy Maybe you should reconsider doing this, because in the end you are going to link your account to the AI, so it can read and process all your emails when you ask it, storing its content on your company’s servers. The emails will no longer be private, you will be sharing them. Now, ask the AI ​​for a summary And now it’s time to go to the AI ​​and write a message asking for the summary. This prompts It has to mention Gmail or Outlook depending on the AI ​​you use and the email you have linked, and if you have done what we have recommended you have to indicate the newsletter label and ask for a summary. Besides, you can specify the structure of the summary so that it is more to your liking. This is the prompt that I have used: I want you to enter my Gmail account, analyze all the emails in the “Newsletters” label, and give me a summary of their content. It has to be a schematic summary, with an H2 for each email telling me the title and sender, and then bullets where you explain the most interesting points of its content. With this, the AI ​​will start to see the emails within your account and will give you a summary as you have requested. Here, keep in mind that you can simply tell it to search for the newsletters without having tagged them, but then there is the possibility that it will not find them all or consider something as a newsletter that really is not. Each AI will give you the results in its own wayalthough maintaining the structure that you have requested if you have specified it. Thus, with the prompt that we have used you will have everything summarized in several points so that you can read it in just a few minutes.

How to receive a daily email with the summary of your favorite podcast made by artificial intelligence

by

Let’s explain to you how to receive summaries of your favorite podcasts by email. These summaries will be made by artificial intelligenceafter you have received the audio file and processed it. This is not something you can do in a specific application, so we will have to configure a workflow of several steps. Specifically, we are going to use the service Makebecause its free version is enough to do it. In addition, we are going to use artificial intelligence Geminisince it is very easy to obtain a free API with which to use AI on this website. At Make.com we will have to log in with the Gemini modules and especially Gmail. It is important to highlight this because in the end you will be giving a third party access to your email, which could compromise your privacy, although this tool is reputable enough to think that it complies and that you should be safe. First you need the RSS of the podcast In order to carry out this automation, the first thing is get the RSS address of the podcast that you want to analyze. It is the page with the code where the title, description and the address of the mp3 file of each chapter appear, which in the end is the most important thing. If you don’t know where to get this address, you can use the Get RSS Feed websitewhich you can get at getrssfeed.com. On this website, you just have to enter the URL to Apple Podcast, iVoox, Spotify or the podcast website, and then it will search there for the RSS address. When it does, click on the button RSS Copy and that’s it, you will have the address copied. It will also be important that Find out what time each chapter is published. At the end of this project, the workflow will have to be scheduled to activate at a certain time each day, and it should be at a time when the chapter has already been published. Configure the Gemini API Key The AI ​​we are going to use for this project is Gemini. And to link and use this AI, you need get a google api. For that, go to the website aistudio.google.com and sign in with your Google account. When you do, in the bar on the left at the bottom click on Get API Key. Now you have to click on the option Create API key that appears at the top of the screen you have created. This will open a window where you have to create the project for which you are going to use it in order to identify it, for example Gmail Gemini. When you create the project, you can now create the API. When you have created the API, you will see that it appears in the list of API keys. You just have to click on the left, below where it says Clueand a window with the API will open, starting with “AIza–“. When you later create the first Gemini modulethen on the login screen you will have to write the Gemini API Key that you generated at the beginning of this tutorial. We are not going to repeat this later because it is something that we will assume has already been done after previous projects such as create a Telegram bot that summarizes your emails. Now we create the workflow Now let’s go to Make.com and create a new scenario or workflow. We start by clicking on the initial + for the first step, for which you have to choose the option Watch RSS feed items. It is used to display the elements of an RSS address. In this first module, what you have to do is write the RSS URL that we have searched for in the previous step, and put it in the URL field. Then, in Maximum number of returned items set 1, so that every time this scenario is run it only pulls the latest post. Once you have this first step configured, I recommend you click on Run eleven to run the project with just this step. Thus, the content will be loaded, and it will appear in the autocompleted suggestions in the following steps. Now let’s go add module HTTP with the action Download a filewhich will be used to extract and download the audio file of the podcast chapter. When you click on URL, a window will appear with autocompletion suggestions, and here you will have to write the address of the mp3 file of the audio. If necessary, you can search for it in the RSS code. In our case, it is in Enclosures > URL. This is a somewhat complex step. A little tip I can give you if you’re not clear is to ask an AI where the audio file is to download, and attach the RSS web address. After the HTTP module, we are going to add a Gemini module. Specifically, we must add module Gemini Upload to filewhich is used to upload a file to artificial intelligence. Here in the field File you have to choose the option HTTP – Download a file. This means that the file that we are going to upload will be the one that we have downloaded with the previous module. Now, After the Gemini module we are going to put another Gemini module. We are going to use the module Generate a response to generate a response. Whom Role put User, and in the Partsin it Item 1 set the message type as text, and choose the option Source to add the source text. and in Item 2 put Filefollowed by audio/mpeg in Mime Typeand in File URI look for the URI. All these elements will have to come from the Upload to file module. Further down, in the field of System Instructionsyou have to open the section Prompts and write a prompt in the field of Prompt 1. This is the prompt with … Read more

best email providers made in europe

by

Let’s tell you the best European alternatives to Outlook or Gmail. If you are looking for greater privacy and protection in your email, opting for a European provider subject to rigid European regulations is a good option, and we will tell you the top five. But you have to know that greater privacy and security has its price, because by not negotiating with your data or serving you advertising, many of these services are paid. Many are as cheap as one euro per month, but others try to offer you more services in exchange for a higher price. Proton Mail It is possibly the best known alternative. Based in Switzerland, it offers you end-to-end encryption as well as an open source product and a totally free basic email service. Yes, creating an account and using it on your mobile with its own app, or in the browser of any device is free. IMAP support for adding to other email clients is only available with Proton Mail Bridgewhich is a paid feature. But it also has payment plans that start in 3.99 euros per monthwith features such as creating aliases, such as alternative addresses to register on unreliable sites without giving your real email, and then deactivating them. In addition, it also offers a VPN, an office suite like Drive and cloud storage, as well as a password manager, calendar and everything so that you do not depend on other companies. Tuta Fewer additional services but more ethics. This is what Tuta, formerly known as Tutanota, offers, the German provider with end-to-end encryption that uses renewable energy to operate. It is also open source, although it does not have IMAP support, meaning you cannot add it to third-party email managers. Your basic email account is totally freealthough it also offers price plans that start at 3.60 euros per month, and that offer more storage, unlimited calendars and labels, 15 extra email addresses, or custom domains. mailbox This other German supplier It has a price of 1 euro per monthwithout free modality. Its focus is on privacy, being able to even make anonymous payments, and it offers a calendar, cloud storage, task manager and agenda service. It also gives you 3 different aliases to configure. Mailbox also has other plans with a higher price, and that offer more aliases, more storage, office automation service, alternative to Meet for meetings, etc. It is also compatible with IMAP, something that the previous alternatives do not have, allowing you to use your account in your favorite email manager. Post Posteo is another German provider that seeks simplicity above all else. The price of Your account is 1 euro per monthhas IMAP support, and its focus is on privacy and anonymity. In fact, it does not ask you for private information to register and you can pay with cryptocurrencies. It also runs on clean energy and you can add custom domains, aliases or more storage by paying a little more. Its web client has an outdated interface, but it is one of the best features if you are going to use it in the native or third-party email app on your mobile or computer. SmartMail This is the Startpage email service, which is possibly the best European alternative to Google. The bad news is that Its price is 6.99 euros per monthsomewhat less if you pay annually, although in exchange it offers unlimited aliases. It also has support for your own domain and has IMAP compatibility, in addition to the highest privacy standards. Therefore, it is the most expensive option, but also the most unlimited if you want to protect your privacy, especially by creating various aliases.

How to create a Telegram bot that sends you a summary made by Gemini of each email you receive in Gmail and other emails

by

Let’s explain to you how to create a Telegram bot that sends you a summary of your emails emails, such as Gmail. Thus, when you receive a new email, whether from anyone or from specific senders or topics, an artificial intelligence will make a summary and send it to you. All this without knowing how to program nor have technical knowledge. This is not something you can do simply by asking artificial intelligence, and we are going to need a program that generates workflows or work flows. We will use Make.com, because it is very complete and easy to use. Besides, Make.com It has a free version that is perfect for taking the first steps, although with some limitations. In Make we will have to link any artificial intelligence, although we have opted for Gemini because it is easy to obtain a free API for it. And then, We have chosen Telegram because creating bots is easyand it only takes a few minutes. In the end, what you will need is an API from an AI, a Token key from a Telegram bot, and creating the workflow chain on Make.com. In the examples we have used Gmail because it is also easy to link to it. Get your Gemini API first The first thing we are going to do is get a google api to be able to use Gemini in our project. For that, go to the website aistudio.google.com and sign in with your Google account. When you do, in the bar on the left at the bottom click on Get API Key. Now you have to click on the option Create API key that appears at the top of the screen you have created. This will open a window where you have to create the project for which you are going to use it in order to identify it, for example Gmail Gemini. When you create the project, you can now create the API. When you have created the API, you will see that it appears in the list of API keys. You just have to click on the left, below where it says Clueand a window with the API will open, starting with “AIza–“. Set up the Telegram bot The first thing you have to do is create a bot on Telegram. For that you have to look for the “@BotFather” tool and write to it as if it were a new user. Use the /newbot command to create a new bot, giving it a name to identify yourself and a unique username to access the bot whenever you want. When you do it, it will give you two things, first the username and address of your bot to access it, and second an access token with various figures and letters. You have to save this token to use later. Start creating your project Now you have to go to Make.com and click on the option Create new scenario to create a new project. In the options choose the option Build from scratch to create an automation from scratch. From what we are going to do, you must understand that we will create an automation of several modules, each one of them different. These automations will form a chainso that the action of the first leads to the second, and that of the second to the third. Come on, the order in which we put them is important. Add your email module as a trigger You will go to a blank screen with a button with the plus symbol. Here, click on the + button and from the drop-down menu choose Gmail. Inside now click on the option Watch emails to configure the action of reading your emails. This will cause your automation to be activated every time you receive an email in Gmail. It is a trigger, which is the element that will start this automation. Now click on the button Create a connectionwhich will open a screen where you have to name the connection at the top, and at the bottom log in with your Gmail account to link it. You will have to log in and give the website permissions to access your email. Once the action has been added, you can filter the type of emails that this automation executes. Can choose emails from a specific folder or labelas well as other criteria, so that these are launched and read by the AI. You can also set some limits. This screen gives you the possibility to fully customize the experience depending on What type of emails do you want the AI ​​to summarize for you?. It is an important step, especially because you will be able to make it only perform this action with certain types of emails. For example, they can be from senders related to your work or a specific project. If you open the advanced settings either Advanced settingsyou can specify even more. For example, you can configure so that only runs with emails from a certain senderwith a certain subject, and many other characteristics. Now you can configure from what moment do you want the data to be processed. For example, you can choose From now on so that they are processed from the emails you start receiving from now on. You can also link other emails. For this, instead of the Gmail module you can use the Email module, which will allow you to connect with Google, with Microsoft for Outlook, or with others through IMAP. Outlook also has its own module. Now add the Gemini module Now it’s time to add the second module. To do this, click on the + button to the right of Gmail, and on the screen that opens choose the option Gemini. In the options that appear in the module that opens, choose where to put Generate a response. This will now open a key module, where you simply have to write the Gemini API Key that we have generated at … Read more

What do you have to do to protect yourself if you have received an email saying that you have been affected?

by

Let’s tell you How to act if you have been affected by the Endesa hack. The electricity company has suffered a cyber attack that has affected its Spanish platform, something that has compromised the personal information of a large number of customers, exposing data such as the DNI, your personal data and even payment data such as the IBAN. Endesa has started send emails to affected usersso if you have come across one it is possible that your data has been stolen. Therefore, we are going to tell you several important steps to take to minimize the risks and avoid fraud that may arise when cybercriminal groups purchase this stolen data. Because the worst thing about these hacks is not always that they can steal money from your bank details, but that you can then receive fraudulent emails or messages with which they try to steal even more from you. Therefore, in these cases it is always advisable to pay close attention to what may happen in the following months. Remember that you have a complete and general article about what to do when your data is leaked online. Check your banking transactions The first thing is to check your bank and look if there is any strange movement. As Endesa has said that in some cases payment data may have been stolen, that means they could try to make some type of charge to your account. It is advisable to maximize attention during the coming weeks and months, and for any payment that is not clear, contact your bank to block it and avoid major problems. Be wary of emails, SMS and calls It is assumed that if a cybercriminal group buys the data stolen from Endesa, they will know your name and surname, your telephone number and your email. Therefore, you may receive fraudulent messages By any of these means, campaigns phishing with which to try to steal money from you. Here, be wary of any supposed communication from Endesa in which they ask for personal or banking information by phone or email. If you are asked for this information in a message, be wary immediately.because the real company will never ask you for them. Do not continue the conversation or respond to the message that arrives. Do not click on links or download files Phishing is a technique with which a cybercriminal sends mass messages to hundreds of thousands of people with a virus attached or links to fraudulent pages. Their goal is for at least a handful of people to click on them and become infected or go to the fraudulent page where they give their bank details and steal money with it. Therefore, if you receive a supposed email or SMS from Endesa or any other person with a file or a link to a website, never interact with this content. It’s okay to read the message, but never download anything or click on a link that takes you to another page. Save all Endesa communications Finally, to protect yourself for the future it is important keep the letter or email from Endesa. Thus, if in the future you have to prove possible misuse of your data, you will have proof that there was a hack and it was stolen. Other security measures Lastly, you may also want activate two-step verification on platforms where you use the same email that you have linked to Endesa. In those more sensitive ones, it may be interesting to change your passwords, and also take extreme precautions against any email and message that you may receive from other pages, because they can also be fraudulent.

Sending an email to a low employee has cost 1,500 euros to a company: it doesn’t matter if you respond or not

by

The Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia (TSXG) has marked a before and after in the protection of the right to digital disconnection of workers in Spain. For the first time, a company has been convicted of sending electronic jobs to an employee who was on a medical leave. The sentence is considered a pioneer because, although other countries Like France and BelgiumThey have already legislated on digital disconnectionGalician justice has taken another step by sanctioning not only the obligation not to respond, but also the duty of the company of Do not send communications Out of working hours. What happened? According to details the sentencethe affected worker was in a situation of temporary disability due to an “anxiety disorder”, apparently “motivated by the emotional wear that implies the current situation of excess work, realization of overtime continuously and labor responsibility, which has led to the appearance of relational insecurity with respect to their environment.” In that context of medical disabilitythe employee continued to receive electronic emails related to her work during the entire low period. The company recognized the facts, but argued that the emails to the complainant were part of a thread created above and whose content was aimed at other people of the team. In addition, he claimed that they were not asked for “an immediate response.” In Xataka 40,000 euros for a croquette: Mercadona dismissed an employee for eating a croquette and must now compensate him The TSXG got serious with disconnection. In its resolution, the Superior Court dismissed the company’s arguments and was overwhelming in its ruling. The magistrates considered that the company not only breached their duty to refrain from communicating with the worker during his temporary disability, but also attempted against his moral integrity. According to the sentence, the Right to digital disconnection “It demands that communications from the company are not received outside the work time”, and warns that “that right is not fulfilled due to the fact that the working person does not have the duty to respond to the communications received outside the work time more or less immediately.” That is, and here the Importance of this resolutionthat the right to digital disconnection does not only refer to the interpretation of the urgency of the communications received, but “carries with it an obligation by the employer, and of dependent or linked persons, of abstention in the communications of labor order or linked to the provision of services outside the working time.” In Xataka Some employees sued their company for cutting the salary. The supreme has responded that being unpunctual is not a job Vulnerability situation. The TSXG highlights the special importance of the right to digital disconnection when the worker is in a situation of temporary disability by A psychic ailment. In the sentence, the Galician Court emphasizes that emails in these circumstances “uneasy the receiver, and also reifted it and undermined their dignity” and places the worker in a state of permanent availability incompatible with her right to recover without pressures. The right to digital disconnection in Spanish law. The right to digital disconnection is included in article 88 of the Organic Law 3/2018 and reinforced with the arrival of the call Distance Labor Law of 2021. According to the regulations, “all workers and public employees will have the right to digital disconnection in order to guarantee, outside the legal or conventionally established work time, respect for their rest time, permits and vacations, as well as their personal and family intimacy.” This right allows workers not to answer mails, calls, video calls or any other digital communication out of work hours. The law does not differentiate between the size of the workforce or the public or private nature of the company, so the protection is universal for all employees in Spain. With the TSXG ruling, the prohibition is not limited to the fact of “not answering” but its interpretation is expanded to “not receive.” {“Videid”: “X919SE0”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “The AI ​​and the future of our work Silvia Rivela | 100 years, 100 visions Ep.3”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “2630”} Symbolic condemnation, but pioneer. The process reached the TSXG as a result of a previous sentence in which, in addition to the violation of the right to digital disconnection of workers, compensation for violations of the right to honor and physical integrity were requested. In this case, the new resolution revokes these last two concepts because it has not been damaged physically or its honorability has been affected. However, it imposes compensation of 1,500 euros “for damages” for violating the right to digital disconnection because the company “was not guaranteed” of this right and points out that “pretending that it is available at any time of its life, including temporary disability, prevents the free development of personality and hinders the exercise of the field of intimacy of personal life of personal life.” In Xataka | 55,245 euros for eating a sandwich and a beer: Mercadona must compensate an employee for unfair dismissal Image | Unspash (Brian J.

convert email into a list of tasks

by

The email, that novelty relic whom no one has been able to kill, is about to suffer its greatest metamorphosis. Hotmail or Gmail They brought storage and search capacity, clients of third parties such as Spark introduced a new way of managing them. What is coming is deeper: AI is making The mail goes from being a writing activity to a decision activity. To write answers to mark boxes. The first systems are already here: Gmail summarizes long threads and develops basic ideas. Outlook suggests short answers. Apple Intelligence summarizes, rewrite and expand paragraphs. Spark Directly take your previous mails to emulate your voice and generate answers with your style. It is just the prologue. When this goes more, We will stop writing most mails, we will simply approve a proposalor we will clarify it. Or we will choose between certain options. In the future, our mail clients will present each mail not as a text to read, but as an action proposal: Accept meeting Thursday at 11:00 a.m. Thank information and ask for more details. Decline proposal. A touch and ready. It is an inevitable change because in the background mail has always been a task management system disguised as communication. Most professional emails ask for something: confirmation, information, decision, action. The AI ​​simply naked this reality, eliminates the liturgy of forced courtesy and repetitive writing. I have written thousands of times “thanks in advance” or “good weekend.” The machine can do it for us. Even in our style. And it will free us from That corporate slavery For what really matters: decide. The end of the game will be something we already anticipate: Bots talking with bots. As Mg Siegler points outthere will come a time when the AI ​​will automatically schedule that meeting with the AI ​​of your contact, will negotiate dates, send reminders, will write the subsequent act, even ask how your child after the operation, perhaps. Humans We will appear for decisions that really require human criteria (Some will also want to delegate that, but It is another topic). And the mail will not disappear, but it will largely be somewhat invisible. And by automating routine communication, we will recover the communication that is worth it.

In the new macOS 26 Tahoe there is change of interface, yes. But the surprise is to be able to write an email or throw a shortcut from Spotlight

by

More than 40 years of history They contemplate the Mac. It may not be the protagonist of the Apple ecosystem, but Macos always has a relevant study in the updates that the company announces every year. This time it has not been the exception, and this year we have a new version that not only changes its name (Tahoe), but also jumps rumored in numbering. Thus, the traditional sequence after MacOS 15 Sequoia It should have brought us Macos 16, but instead Apple has decided to adopt a version number that corresponds to the “year of launch+1”, which in this case is 26. In this new version of macOS A good face washing was expectedand that’s what we have with MacOS 26 Tahoe. The changes in the interface are the absolute focus, although the most striking novelty is the one that reaches Spotlight, the launcher/search engine integrated in macOS. The interface changes, although not radically. Liquid Glass raises an interface in which for example the taskbar is transparent and that is customizable, such as the control center. The latter can be configured to our liking, adding a lot of direct icons and accesses, even that they can correspond to iPad apps. These customization improvements also reach the folders, in which we can change the color or add a small badge to differentiate them from the rest. The new version of continuity allows us that for example we can have a “twin” of our iPhone on the screen to be able to do things like enjoying calls directly on the MAC screen and also doing it using options such as the Real -time translation. However, where the most curious improvements arrive in Shortcuts and in Spotlight. In Shortcuts, a powerful Automatizon tool, now we can create more powerful shortcuts thanks to the so -called “smart actions”, which take advantage of Apple Intelligence’s functions. But It is in Spotlight where things change especially. We are facing that Apple states that it is the most important update in the history of this component. This pitcher allows you to search for files or launch applications – even those of the iPhone that we have matched with continuity – starting to write its name in the text field. But it is also that we now have a way to access very striking functions without leaving Spotlight using small keyboard shortcuts. Thus, if for example we write “SM” (Send Message) we can start the writing of an email message without opening the mail application. There are several of these personalized commands that make Spotlight into A kind of custom “terminal” In itself from which to execute commands, launch applications and even access the history of the clipboard. The last great novelty of Macos 26 Tahoe comes from the hand of video games. Apple, who has never paid too much attention to this area in the Mac, now offers a control center called Apple Games that reminds us of the Xbox application in Windows. As in that case, in Apple Games We have a form from which to access our library and from which to launch the games that we have bought or buy new. There is a new Game Overlay that allows us to chat with friends, invite them to play or adjust our configuration to play. The developers and users will also benefit metal 4, the new rendering technology specifically designed for the Apple chips GPUs and that allows games that take advantage of it improve its visual quality remarkably, promise in the company.

A 19 -year -old hacked the iPhone, was hired by Apple and ended up fired for not answering an email

by

The iPhone has been among us for almost 17 years. During all this time, the phone has changed a lot, but some things have remained practically intact since its launch. One of them is the closed ecosystem to which Apple products belong. Anti-Jailbreak. The Cupertino company has struggled to maintain a strong control over what can be done on the iPhone. But even in the first generation of the device there were those who rejected this mechanic and offered users an alternative: the Jailbreak. Jailbreak was nothing other than a method that was used of certain vulnerabilities of the device to remove the restrictions that Apple had imposed. Thus, those who resorted to this method accessed unpaid functions in exchange for putting their safety at risk. The road from Allegra. From advanced adjustments to the possibility of installing third -party applications without going through the App Store (store that was not available at the beginning and arrived in 2008 with OS 2). One of the hackers that had developed his own jailbreak was Nicholas Allegra. The 18 -year -old known on the network as “Comex” launched the first jailbreak publicly available for the iPhone 4 In 2010. To achieve this, he found a way to exploit vulnerability in a Safari library, so his method worked directly from the browser. Advanceing. Comex continued to cultivate his ability to break Apple’s telephone security and the following year launched Jailbreakme 3.0, which reached several iOS devices, including iPad 2. At this point, the community believed that Allegra was “years ahead” of other iOS hackers. And hired. But in 2011, his reality changed radically. The young man He went from creating Jailbreakme to be part of Applethe company that had challenged, as “remote fellow.” It is not clear what the dynamic between the multinational and the young man was, but that link did not take too long to dissolve. The farewell. After almost a year in Apple, in 2012 Allegra He announced on Twitter that was no longer part of Apple. In another message he explained that he had reached that situation because he had “forgotten to answer an email.” The mail in question was an offer to continue hired. The internship had a duration of one year and, apparently, Apple asked Comex by email to confirm if it would continue in the company for one more year. Not receiving an answer, the firm left the iphone hacker contract without effect, so it ceased to be a fellow. Images | Unspash In Xataka | Banks spent years criticizing cryptocurrencies.
