ChatGPT’s new formatting blocks make its UI look more like a task tool

OpenAI has quietly rolled out ‘formatting blocks,’ which tweak GPT’s layout to match the UI of the task it is supposed to execute.

ChatGPT has different use cases, including writing emails or blogs. Up until now, if you asked GPT to write an email for you, it would show the content of the email in the same way as a typical response.

That does not make GPT worse than any other LLM, but it’s not the best experience, and OpenAI wants to fix it with a new feature that automatically adapts the UI.

Google will finally allow you to change your @gmail.com address

Google will finally allow you to change your @gmail address or create a new alias, according to a new support document.

As spotted in a Telegram group, Google says that it’s already rolling out a feature that lets you change your email address, and it’s not just for your custom emails.

Up until now, Google has allowed you to switch between different aliases for your emails, but you couldn’t change your “@gmail.com” address.

Fake MAS Windows activation domain used to spread PowerShell malware

A typosquatted domain impersonating the Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) tool was used to distribute malicious PowerShell scripts that infect Windows systems with the ‘Cosmali Loader’

BleepingComputer has found that multiple MAS users began reporting on Reddit [1, 2] yesterday that they received pop-up warnings on their systems about a Cosmali Loader infection.

You have been infected by a malware called ‘cosmali loader’ because you mistyped ‘get.activated.win’ as ‘get.activate[.]win’ when activating Windows in PowerShell.
