🔥 This prompt injection tricked a LinkedIn bot into using 900 AD Old English.
The corporate automated recruitment pipeline has run into a hilariously medieval roadblock. A software developer has successfully executed an indirect prompt injection attack via their LinkedIn profile biography , forcing an automated artificial intelligence agent used by a tech recruitment firm to draft an entire outreach message in 10th-century Old English.

🔥 I Tried Jump-Starting a Van with a Portable Power Station
I may end up regretting this, but for this review, I deliberately drained my van battery to the point where it wouldn't start, while parked in the middle of nowhere. The goal? To test the unique selling point of the VTOMAN Jump 2200: a huge capacity portable power station that also claims to be able to jump-start a vehicle. But before we get to the jump-start test, I wanted to see if this unit can handle my absurd off-grid gaming setup... along with a few other luxuries.

🔥 MotionScan to Memes: 15 Years of L.A. Noire
Today marks exactly 15 years since Team Bondi and Rockstar Games launched L.A. Noire on the 17th of May 2011. It was a title that promised to fundamentally rewrite interactive storytelling with groundbreaking technology. Looking back a decade and a half later, it stands as something entirely different, a brilliant, bizarre, and entirely unrepeated anomaly in big-budget gaming.
Be honest, how many times did you accidentally make Cole Phelps scream at a traumatised witness because the button prompt was too vague? Share your worst interrogation disasters below.

🔥 Fans ridicule the Sony Xperia 1 VIII AI camera assistant
Sony’s Xperia line has long been the final holdout for the "pro" user, the crowd that still demands a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot . However, the launch of the new Xperia 1 VIII has taken a bizarre turn that even the most loyal fans are struggling to defend. While the hardware remains a technical marvel, the flagship's headline "AI Camera Assistant" feature is currently being torn apart across social media for results that look less like professional photography and more like a botched filter from a decade ago.
