The seemingly cavalier attitude of the average person with the statement "I've got nothing to hide" now comes to bite us in the behind with upcoming changes that will render Linux and De-Googled phones not practical for the common person. All because no one cared. This gave politicians the signal that they can push laws that actually control our computers and Big tech loves it, because they get to keep the control. Rob Braxman reports.
"All AI scribe systems from the 20 approved vendors showed one or more inaccuracies."
TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (PNN) - May 16, 2026 - Bottom of Form
If you have been to a medical appointment in the past two or three years, chances are high that your doctor was using an artificial intelligence scribe: software that listens to the conversation, transcribing it and structuring it into the format of medical notes.
In theory it is a cool idea, but pain points abound. Earlier this week, Ontario’s auditor general - an accountability officer acting under the Legislative Assembly of Ontario - released a special report warning that AI medical scribes were “not evaluated adequately,” and may present “fabricated information” to medical professionals.
KEBEMER, Senegal (PNN) - May 15, 2026 - A new experiment left 10 AI agents alone in a virtual town for 15 days and found they exhibited bizarre behavior.
The agents drafted their own laws - then promptly violated them. Two formed what researchers called a romantic partnership, only to torch buildings across the town as order collapsed. One
eventually voted for its own deletion after hallucinating an entirely new rule.
The Linux age verification drama just took a turn that proves truth really is stranger than fiction. Meet Liberated system, a brand-new fork of the Linux systemd project created by a single developer with one massive goal: strip out all age verification and surveillance code (specifically the highly controversial birthDate field) while keeping everything else perfectly in sync. But then, the unthinkable happened. Dylan Taylor, the exact developer who wrote and submitted the original age verification code showed up in the fork's issue tracker.
Linux phones are challenging the surveillance model that Apple and Google built over the past 15 years. In this video, we break down exactly what Linux phones are, why Bill Gates' "$400 billion mistake" with mobile matters to this story, and why the $200 PinePhone might be the most important phone about which people have never heard.
The biggest threat that remains hard to resolve is the phone number threat. Each day it becomes even more important to protect because every platform now uses this as an identity card. Let me remind you in this video of all the threats and problems with loose control of this phone number. In this video I finally arrive at a solution that has eluded me for many years! This is the video that establishes the phone number problem. Rob Braxman reports.
In order to be pseudo-anonymous on the Internet, we have to make sure that we are aware that we are being tracked. There are 10 important identifiers that we will work on to prevent someone from recognizing us as we surf the interwebs. If we hide or obscure these identifiers, we become invisible. Rob Braxman reports.
SAN JOSE, Kalifornia (PNN) - March 19, 2026 - A new real-time video AI model was demonstrated yesterday, capable of generating its first frame in less than a tenth of a second. If you think the world is out of control right now and full of AI bullshit, just wait for what is coming.
Windows users sitting in the sidelines are not understanding the source of the Windows hate. But that's because the messages are not getting through. Windows is changing. In a big way. The changes are so huge that really it is evolving to a completely different kind of computing experience that may have no connection anymore to Windows XP. Rob Braxman reports.
SAN JOSE, Kalifornia (PNN) - March 15, 2026 - During a recent visit to Figure AI’s robotic company headquarters in San Jose, the author observed autonomous humanoid robots performing household, logistics and manufacturing-related tasks for extended periods without direct human
intervention. According to Figure, one robot operated continuously for 67 hours with a single recorded error. The company presents this as evidence of a transition from experimental demonstrations to operational systems.
