Let's hope that the new year puts a stop to these ongoing cyber-attacks.

Malicious Chrome VPN
It looks like this malicious VPN extension from the Chrome web store infected over a million users before it was removed by Google.
This is why Chrome keeps on being proactive to make its browser safer and it will not be the last but as time goes on, malicious software as we know it will in time be hard to install on Chrome users.

ChatGPT & Bard bad at Math
It's kind of funny to think how this state-of-the-art technology using AI is still bad at math. The only thing that I could think of is that the AI technology is mistaking these items for something else.
Once programmers figure this out hopefully the math calculations will get better. I think it's time we teach them a thing or two about math.

Tired of always having to open files you downloaded in Chrome, this little tweak can automatically be set up to open your files automatically every time you finish downloading.
Although it is a handy feature, you should always be careful about what files you download when using your browsers. As Chrome continues securing itself, hopefully, this will be a thing of the past.

Cybertruck Info
If you are deciding on purchasing a Cybertruck buyers should be aware of the actual cost of the truck. From what the listed price is shown it looks like the final receipt is coming down to paying more than some users anticipated and then there are accessories.
You also have to take into account the long waiting period which now is 18 months and it's going to be longer depending on the list of orders that are placed.
So you might rethink 18 months from now if you really want to be driving.

Dropbox Shares Files
If you have Dropbox you might want to review your files and opt out to have your personal files shared with OpenAI servers.
Still, this is a major concern for users especially since they did not opt in for these features.

Art Investing
Here is a pretty ordinary way to invest in art, they select the artist and purchase the art and then you just invest in the masterpiece, get proceeds for 3 to 10 years and you can sell your shares before they sell the art.
Unsure of what's going to happen to those users who are unable to sell their shares before the sale but it hopefully makes you passive income.

Telsa Repair Problem
If you are thinking of buying a Tesla I would think again until they resolve this ongoing suspension and steering problem. The company has long been aware of this and they still feel like it's not their responsibility to make this right with consumers.
It's kind of ridiculous and they should be ashamed, this can be a costly repair for many consumers and the manufacturer should take full responsibility. I am hoping more consumers fight back.

Elon Gamble
For a few years, Elon Musk has been on a hot streak and now it looks like the tides are changing and his luck may be just running out.
Now it will be interesting to see what the future holds for most of his companies and if the cash still keeps coming in. Because all that we are seeing lately is a lot of cash just burning up.
