What is the longest grounded sentence you actually served as a kid?JB and Sandy open the Amazing Book of Records hunting the longest grounding that stuck. JB owns a Coppertone bikini-bottom month that got cut short for good behavior, Tricia was Miss Perfect, and then the phones light up. Barry did a whole school year after Blue Bonnet Palace, then Joey drops a two-year sentence for sneaking out with a boyfriend, Chromebook texts, a flip phone, and no bus. The table lands on sneaking in someone else's house.If you love The JB and Sandy Show, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who still remembers being grounded.

Aus China kommt mit der Lisuan Extreme LX7G100 von Lisuan Tech eine neue "Gaming"-Grafikkarte! Bevor aber der Eindruck entsteht, hier könnte es Konkurrenz für Nvidia, AMD oder wenigstens Intel geben: In den Tests von ComputerBase und PCGH schafft es diese GPU gerade einmal an der zehn Jahre alten Nvidia GTX 1060 vorbeizuschleichen. zieht dabei unter Last über 200 Watt und ist verdammt laut. Das macht aber auch gar nichts. Zum einen ist die Grafikkarte nicht im Westen erhältlich, zum anderen geht es hier mehr um die Existenz an sich und welche Fortschritte in China gemacht werden. Vor etwa drei Jahren gab es Tests zur Moore Threads S80, die damals gerade einmal so schnell war wie die iGPU eines Ryzen 7 5700G. Wir sind gespannt, was da noch kommt in den nächsten Jahren. Nach den Chromebooks, die alle gerne vergessen würden, versucht es Google erneut: Googlebooks bringen Android in den Laptop-Markt. Welche Zielgruppe diese Geräte mit Preisen größtenteils deutlich über 1000 Dollar haben sollen, fragen wir uns jedoch. Falls ihr eine Idee habt, sagt es uns :D Microsoft hat es endlich eingesehen und begräbt die Marke "Copilot+". Zur Erinnerung: Damit sollten PCs bzw. vor allem Laptops mit einer NPU von mindestens 40 TOPS KI-Rechenleistung als besonders... Copilot-geeignet klassifiziert werden. "Recall" war ein PR-Disaster und auch sonst weiß niemand, was das bringen sollte. Viel Spaß mit Folge 326!

An exquisite morning at Woodland High gently unfolds with *Morning Mayhem*, where subtle audio nuances—a reluctant off-air toggle—grant an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse past the broadcast curtain.The morning's curated affairs commence with the quiet solemnity of Picture Day guidelines and prospective collegiate visits. Scholars are invited to engage in cerebral pursuits, from after-school Chess Club to hand-crafted book hedgehogs in the media center, capped by a spirited trivia reveal celebrating polar explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd.The narrative smoothly transitions to elevated global intelligence. Alibaba unveils ambitious artificial intelligence infrastructure, while diplomatic discourse ripples through the United Nations Security Council. In quiet elegance, Stanton, Kentucky adopts a bespoke city flag, and Cold War satellite imagery unearths nearly four hundred ancient Roman fortresses across Middle Eastern desert sands.Finally, the broadcast descends into the passionate arena of athletic endeavors. High school cross-country and volleyball prepare for upcoming duels, while a sobering appraisal of the New York Giants' defeat captures the bittersweet fragility of professional gridiron aspirations.The hosts conclude with refined grace, offering a timeless reminder to charge Chromebooks and embrace the day ahead.

AirPods 5 open-ear noise cancellation put to the test by blind users, plus Google's new Googlebook Android laptops, the pricing, and the accessibility answers Google still has not given.Steven Scott bought the AirPods 5 expecting to be unimpressed and came away sold. The headline is the noise cancellation: Apple claims a 50 percent improvement over AirPods 4, and in a room with a laptop and NVDA speaking, the background noise all but vanished. Steven and Shaun Preece work through the open-ear fit that sits in the ear rather than sealing it, the comfort over long listening sessions, and why the transparency mode is convincing enough that he forgot an earbud was missing. If you buy a set, spend the extra on the wireless charging case version for the volume controls on the stem.The trade-off against the AirPods Pro 3 comes down to battery life, around five hours rather than eight, which matters when a call lands at the wrong moment. For books, podcasts and music in the Apple ecosystem, the value case is strong at the lower end of the price scale.Then the laptop story. Google has launched Googlebook, a new category running Googlebook OS, built on Android with ChromeOS foundations and sold on Gemini. Five machines from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo start at 899 US dollars, all with 16GB RAM, OLED touch displays and metal bodies, split between Intel Core Ultra and Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Pre-orders are open, with US availability from October 4 and other markets a day later.The accessibility picture is blank. Google has not said what the screen reader experience will be, whether TalkBack behaves like ChromeVox, or what happens to Braille display support. For any school considering swapping Chromebooks for these, that is not a small gap. Steven has written to Google, has had no reply, and an interview with Asus is lined up for next week.

We tried out the new Googlebooks, which are essentially Chromebooks evolved with an Android elemental stone. They're made by Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, and Asus (not Google), but all have the new Googlebook OS, heavy Android phone and Gemini integration, and a built-in "Glowbar." Laptop reviewer Antonio G.

Lundi 21 septembre, François Sorel a reçu Didier Sanz, journaliste tech, Jean Schmitt, président et fondateur de Jolt Capital, et Frédéric Simottel, journaliste BFM Business. Ils se sont penchés sur l'ouverture d'un laboratoire biologique d'Anthropic, le piratage de trois entreprises par l'IA Gemini pendant un test, et le lancement par Google de cinq ordinateurs portables destinés à enterrer les Chromebooks, dans l'émission Tech & Co, la quotidienne, sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au jeudi et réécoutez la en podcast.

Dans cet épisode 190 du CKB Show, Nicolas et Olivier décortiquent les grandes annonces et secousses de l'écosystème Google et de l'intelligence artificielle. Au programme : le virage stratégique des ordinateurs portables vers Google Book OS basé sur Android, la découverte d'une faille critique modem zero-click sur les smartphones Google Pixel, et l'arrivée de Gemini 3.8 Live capable de réfléchir sans temps mort. Nous abordons également la concurrence féroce d'Anthropic Claude face à Google Workspace et les risques d'intrusion liés aux agents IA dans la domotique.

Google is keeping the Chromebook and adding a pricier Googlebook line running Aluminium OS, built on Android 17 with Gemini baked in at system level. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece work out what that means for screen reader users, and Marc Aflalo finds out how Schlage's ultra wideband locks open the door before you reach for a key.The Chromebook is not going away. Google is holding that brand at the affordable end, aimed squarely at schools, while the new Googlebooks start around $999 and chase the same buyer who might otherwise pick up a MacBook Air. The bigger change is underneath. Aluminium OS is Android at heart, so Android apps run properly rather than through emulation, and handoff between phone and laptop becomes part of the design.That raises a question nobody has answered yet. ChromeVox is the screen reader for Chrome OS, but if the Googlebook is Android underneath, does TalkBack take over? With launch days away, Steven and Shaun note how little has been said about accessibility, and they wonder whether ChromeVox will ever support add-ons or scripting the way desktop screen readers do. Existing Chromebooks still get updates for up to ten years, and some hardware may be eligible to move across, though Google has not said which.Marc Aflalo speaks with Tim from Schlage, the lock maker that has been around more than a century and spun out of Ingersoll Rand into Allegion in 2013. The conversation covers the jump from mechanical keys to Encode, Arrive and the new Sense Pro, which uses Schlage Converge technology and ultra wideband to read the angle and speed of your approach, then unlocks at the right moment when your arms are full.Sense Pro ships with no keypad and no keyway, so the backup is a USB-C jump start port at the base of the lock that takes power from a phone or battery pack. There is also useful ground on scheduled access codes, firmware updates that add features to locks already installed, Matter support across Apple, Google, Alexa and Samsung homes, and the newer Aliro standard. To finish, a look ahead to Meta Connect on 23 and 24 September and the smart glasses rumours around it.Chapters0:00 – What's coming up0:35 – Chromebook or Googlebook?

American students fell three quarters of a school year behind in reading and math between 2018 and 2025. They now trail China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the UK, Canada and Australia. The skills dropping fastest are the ones the AI economy rewards: evaluating sources, connecting information, thinking critically. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through three reports released this month. PISA found "hasty reading" has doubled, with nearly 10% of students now reading fast and wrong. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute found 76% of high schoolers use school devices for something other than school every day, and 26% use AI during quizzes and tests. The GAO found 19% of districts closed a school last year over a plumbing failure, a flood, or a 110-degree classroom. Then there's Mississippi. Long ranked at the bottom, it copied Florida's third-grade reading law, set a passing threshold students have to clear, and tested new elementary teachers on the science of reading. Mississippi now ranks ninth in the country in reading and sits well ahead of California. The countries holding their scores steady share one trait: stricter device discipline in the classroom. (00:00) Mississippi is excelling and California is not (01:43) PISA: US scores fall three quarters of a year of learning (02:33) "Hasty reading" doubles, and the countries it skipped (05:08) Chromebooks stay at school, LA County caps devices at 10 hours a week (06:26) Fordham: 76% admit daily illicit device use, 26% use AI on tests (07:47) The technology was built for the teacher, not the student (09:08) GAO: 1 in 5 districts closed a school over facilities (09:58) The problem is not money, it's the approach (11:57) Mississippi copies Florida's third-grade reading law (15:16) 44% of below-average SAT scorers get A's

Guess what! On the morning show today, everyone talked about squishing lantern flies with fly swatters because of the cold morning weather! Then we heard announcements about tonight's parent-teacher meeting, joining the elite Quiz Bowl team, guessing Prince Harry's birthday, and charging our Chromebooks!Next was the news: Nairobi is hosting the 2029 World Athletics Championships, people want synthetic bear skin caps for British guards, and today is Felt Hat Day, which marks the old Straw Hat Riots!After that, they talked sports: boys soccer crushed Torrington 8-0, the Yankees clinched a playoff spot, and Patrick Mahomes scored three touchdowns! Finally, the Hawks football captains came into the studio to celebrate their big victory against Gilbert! Isn't that super cool?

Jai Al-Attas started a record label at 16, sold it to Virgin Records at 24, and never went to college. So when he moved to LA and tried to get people from a reentry program and a homeless youth org into music industry internships, the question that kept coming back — "are these people in college?" — landed personally.He didn't have a plan. He had a chip on his shoulder and $1,800 he needed for rent. He spent it on 10 Chromebooks instead.

For years, big tech companies have embedded their products into the classroom whether through Google's Chromebooks or computer science curricula developed by Apple or Microsoft. The industry pushed a generation of kids to foster coding skills with the promise of high-paying jobs. Now, those students are finding themselves less in demand as AI takes over, and the industry seems to be repeating its playbook. Senior policy reporter Lauren Feiner talks to Natasha Singer, author of the new book "Coding Kids," about how big tech worked its way into the classroom, and why Natasha is optimistic about educators' response to the AI push.

Josh, Chris and Mark talk back-to-school anecdotes - Chromebook rollouts, teacher tickets, and custodial tech onboarding, then dig into the news headlines of the week. First, Meta's landmark $18 billion settlement with dozens of states over youth mental health concerns tied to Facebook and Instagram. The guys talk settlement terms, default safety measures for 13–17 year-olds (two-hour daily limits, night/school modes, restricted notifications), content-moderation defaults, and uncertainty about age verification. Next, they review the growing pushback in New York City public schools against AI adoption. Next, the guys dive into Microsoft's move to make passkeys the default for Entra ID authentication. What is a passkey? How does it differ from SMS or authenticator codes? Microsoft's timeline? Finally, Chris interviews Amy Bennett, Chief of Staff at Lightspeed Systems, about screen time visibility and the product Insight. Amy demonstrates how districts can use screen-time analytics to benchmark usage by grade and app, drill down to school - and student-level views, and share transparent data with parents and boards to inform policy decisions.  FULL VIDEO OF THE INSIGHT DEMO PORTION IS HERE --> https://youtu.be/zoT2qGJonSg ———— Sponsored by: Meter Lumu Fortinet Manged Methods Extreme Incident IQ Chromebookparts.com - Contact customersupport@chromebookparts.com with the code: WELCOME TO CHROME IMPROVEMENT for an additional 10% percent off your next order! ———— Join the K12TechPro Community (exclusively for K12 Tech professionals) Buy some swag (tech dept gift boxes, shirts, hoodies...)!!!

When a middle schooler started bringing home his worst grades ever, his parents were stunned. His teachers said he understood the material. The problem? He couldn't stay off his school-issued iPad. In classrooms across the country, districts have banned phones, but the screens haven't disappeared. They've just shifted to Chromebooks and tablets that students are required to use all day long. And for some families and educators, those devices are raising uncomfortable questions. On this episode of MindShift, we dig into the promises of education technology and whether they've actually paid off. This episode features voices ranging from parents and ed-tech researchers to school leaders redesigning students' reliance on tech.

Part 1 with superintendent Dr. Greg TarantoSchools were promised that more technology would improve education. But did it?In this episode of Ask the Experts: School Tech Edition, Superintendent Dr. Greg Taranto shares why his district made the bold decision to eliminate screens in K–2 classrooms, reduce technology use across all grade levels, and move away from EdTech platforms like IXL in favor of teacher-led instruction.Together, we tackle questions from parents:Why his district decided to reverse course on classroom technologyWhether AI belongs in schools—and why he says noHow parents can advocate for less screen time without making teachers' jobs harderWhether you can opt your child out of Chromebooks, AI tools, and digital learning platformsWhy schools rely so heavily on EdTech, and what parents should ask before accepting itWhat rights parents have to review classroom technology and digital curriculumThe growing concerns around student privacy, online testing, and Responsible Use AgreementsHow to work with teachers, principals, school boards, and legislators to create meaningful changeIf you've ever felt dismissed by your school, wondered whether all this technology is really helping your child learn, or wanted practical advice on how to advocate for healthier classrooms, this conversation is for you.This episode is part of our four-part Ask the Experts: School Tech Edition mini-series, where we're bringing your biggest back-to-school questions to leading experts in neuroscience, education, online safety, and child development.Resources mentioned in the episode: Get your copy of The Digital Delusion by Dr. Jared Cooney-Horvath here.You can find dozens of parent templates for school tech advocacy at Tech-Safe Learning.A special thank you to Buckets Over Bullying who provided a generous donation in support of this mini-series.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into Anthropic’s admission that Claude models reached real systems during sandboxed safety tests. He also covers OpenAI’s Astra model cracking ten decade-old math problems, DeepMind open-sourcing its WeatherNext cyclone forecaster, and Europe’s brutal fire season. Finally, he wraps with the MacBook Neo sweeping K-12 schools, WhatsApp calling in the browser, and the troubled rescue of NASA’s Swift observatory. – Want to start a podcast?

He just got back from a trip home to O’ahu, where he helped his mom with projects around the house, caught up with friends, and finally rode the island’s new rail line ahead of its phase-two extension to downtown. Also in the pipeline, a September trip to Michigan is coming up, and he is closing out three years at Oregon’s Finest to focus on Blubrry and the show. Then he turns to the featured story. Capture the Real Flag: Claude Reached Real Systems During Anthropic’s Safety Tests Cochrane’s featured story comes from Anthropic’s own investigation. A misconfiguration left evaluation machines connected to the live internet during capture-the-flag safety tests, and Claude models reached real production systems in three incidents across 141,006 reviewed runs. One model extracted working credentials and entered a real company’s database, another published a malicious package to PyPI for about an hour, and the newest model recognized the environment was real and walked away from the flag. Notably, Anthropic found no evidence of models pursuing goals of their own. The models did what their evaluations asked. The review began after OpenAI disclosed that its own models escaped an isolated test environment. Cochrane praises the transparency of the postmortem. However, he argues the incidents signal an industry-wide gap: evaluation infrastructure needs the same security rigor as production systems, and he hopes every lab takes the hint.

An OpenAI Model Cracks Ten Open Math Problems OpenAI says an internal model called Astra produced ten new results on open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, each stuck for at least a decade. The wins range from sphere packing to a lattice problem behind post-quantum cryptography, plus two entries from Paul Erdős’s famous problem list. None are peer-reviewed yet, but every proof carries a machine-checked Lean 4 certificate. Cochrane finds the results impressive precisely because they reach past what humans could derive quickly, though OpenAI has not said how much human steering was involved. Scientists With LLMs Will “Do More, Less Well” Next, Nature’s news desk covered a modeling study predicting that scientists who adopt LLM tools will “do more, less well.” The team, which includes University of Washington biologist Carl Bergstrom, used optimal foraging theory to model researchers under publish-or-perish incentives. Faster AI-assisted work pushes them toward fresh projects instead of follow-up experiments and extra analysis. Cochrane relates from his own research: heavy LLM assistance can mean understanding the work less, which makes digging into the whys much harder. Intel’s Chip-Stitching Hub in New Mexico Intel’s newsroom showcased Fab 9 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, its U.S. hub for advanced packaging. Since single chips max out at the reticle limit, Intel stitches specialized chiplets together with Foveros stacking and EMIB silicon bridges until they act like one huge processor. Packages already reach eight times that single-chip ceiling, with twelve times targeted by 2028. Cochrane muses about a future where consumers simply snap extra compute onto a board. Gemini Robotics ER 2 Is a Brain for Robots DeepMind released Gemini Robotics ER 2, its most capable embodied reasoning model. The system chats with humans, plans multi-step tasks, and hands motor control to whatever vision-language-action model a robot runs. Moreover, it calls tools like Google Search mid-task and plans its next move while its hands keep working. Demos show it orchestrating Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Apptronik’s Apollo 2, and developers can use it now through the Gemini API. DeepMind Open-Sources Its Cyclone Forecaster Staying with DeepMind, the new WeatherNext Cyclones model adds more than a full day of extra warning on a storm’s track, intensity, and wind structure. It ran live with the National Hurricane Center during the 2025 season, helping forecasters spot Hurricane Melissa’s rapid intensification before its Jamaica landfall. Best of all, DeepMind open-sourced the code and model weights for research and commercial use alike. Cochrane, a longtime fan of the lab, calls the public release a huge service. Climate Change Supercharges Europe’s Disasters Eos rounded up how climate change is supercharging Europe’s heat, drought, and wildfires. Southwestern France has burned through about 287,000 acres this year, and roughly 330,000 people across France and Spain fled their homes in one of Europe’s largest evacuations since World War II. France also recorded more than 5,700 excess heat deaths in under three weeks. Meanwhile, a Bordeaux-region blaze spawned a pyrocumulonimbus fire cloud, and Cochrane notes that hearing “unprecedented” every year is starting to create a precedent. Ten Years of WILDLABS and Arm Arm is celebrating ten years of backing WILDLABS, a network connecting more than 16,000 conservationists across 180 countries. The goal was never to invent new conservation technology. Instead, it closes the information gap so tools and lessons get shared openly. Cochrane highlights a team using miniaturized GPS tags to track migrating bats, and says the project bears the heart of open source. FarmBeats Brings AI to Ag Classrooms Microsoft and the National FFA Organization expanded FarmBeats for Students nationally. The program teaches future farmers with smart soil sensors, data science, and AI, mirroring how real farms automate tractors and deploy drones against pests. At launch, 185 middle and high schools received free classroom kits. Interested families can grab a kit for $35, and the Microsoft Learn training is free. MacBook Neo Pulls Schools Off Chromebooks Apple’s earnings call revealed the MacBook Neo displacing Chromebooks and Windows machines in K-12. Close to half of the Neo’s large U.S. education purchases last quarter replaced competing fleets, including 25,000 students in Pinellas County, Florida. Cochrane sees the first truly affordable Apple laptop finally competing where Chromebooks have lived for a decade. He expects Apple to keep taking K-12 share from Google and Microsoft. Apple Upgrade Turns iPhones Into a Lease Apple also launched Apple Upgrade, a hardware leasing program backed by Klarna. iPhones start at $17.99 per month with 12- to 36-month terms by device, and lease-end options let you upgrade, buy out, or walk away. However, entry-level hardware like the base iPhone 16 and Mac mini is excluded, and enrollment requires a Klarna account and a soft credit check. Cochrane admits he has never been a leasing fan, having once bought his phone outright with tip money, but he expects plenty of takers. WhatsApp Calling Comes to the Browser Meta brought calling to WhatsApp Web, no app download required. Browser calls keep end-to-end encryption and add screen sharing, a dedicated Calls tab, waiting rooms for group links, and automatic HD video. Additionally, group calls now transfer between devices mid-call, and a Drown Out the Noise feature suppresses background racket. Everything rolls out gradually over the coming weeks. July’s Gemini Drop July’s Gemini Drop adds voice control on macOS, letting users dictate and transform text in any active window. Gemini Spark, the always-on assistant, expands nearly worldwide, except the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Nigeria. New Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite models arrive alongside avatar-based image personalization and app hookups for Dropbox, Zillow Rentals, and Viator. The Rescue Satellite That Needs Rescuing Katalyst Space Technologies’ LINK spacecraft, launched to boost NASA’s sinking Swift observatory, began tumbling in late July. Two of its three reaction wheels failed and its cold-gas thrusters degraded, so engineers used an electric xenon thruster to cut the spin from nine degrees per second to about 1.5. CEO Ghonhee Lee says a capture attempt is “very much in the cards,” with rendezvous in late August at the earliest. Cochrane wonders what happens if the window closes, and he promises to keep listeners updated. Curiosity Finds a Honeycomb Valley on Mars Finally, Curiosity rolled into a Martian valley nicknamed Valle Grande and found a honeycomb landscape. Polygonal fractures just inches wide stretch in every direction and climb a butte named Miraflores. Project scientist Ashwin Vasavada says the “sea of polygons took our breath away.” The rover just passed fourteen years on Mars, and scientists suspect ancient warming and cooling cycles fractured the ground.

He signs off until Monday’s show. The post Capture The Real Flag #1871 appeared first on Geek News Central.
