π€ IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RYSE
Invest before this company becomes a household name
What if you had the opportunity to invest in the biggest electronics products before they launched into big box retail, would you?
Ring changed doorbells and Nest changed thermostats. Early investors in these companies earned massive returns, but the opportunity to invest was limited to a select, wealthy few. Not anymore. RYSE has just launched in 100+ Best Buy stores, and you're in luck β you can still invest at only $1.50/share before their name becomes known nationwide.
They have patented the only mass market shade automation device, and their exclusive deal with Best Buy resembles that which led Ring and Nest to their billion-dollar buyouts.
π€Ώ DEEP DIVE

Concerns Raised Over Microsoft's New Recall Feature's Security Measures

Intelligence: Security researchers have raised concerns over the potential security flaws in Microsoft's new AI-powered Recall feature, warning that it could pose serious cybersecurity risks.
Recall uses AI to screenshot everything on a user's computer, allowing them to retrieve anything in seconds. All data remains local and private on the device.
Cybersecurity expert Kevin Beaumont found that Recall stores data in a database as plain text. This could make it easy for attackers to extract the database and its contents using malware.
Microsoft insists that Recall is a secure and encrypted feature, but it does not perform content moderation, meaning sensitive information like passwords could be stored in its screenshots.
The company plans to enable Recall by default on Copilot Plus PCs, causing privacy campaigners to label it a "privacy nightmare."
Significance: This highlights the challenge of balancing tech innovation with user safety. As AI evolves, ensuring robust security measures alongside new features is crucial.
