That’s because ChatGPT Work is agentic, which is a fancy way of describing how some AIs can go off and accomplish a series of tasks. Because ChatGPT has become more capable, the differences between ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work can be subtle. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to plan a travel itinerary, it will search the web and gather together a list of great destinations. That’s the AI doing something. Also: ‘I can’t stop’: 80% of developers find AI coding more addictive than helpful It gets even more blurry with ChatGPT’s Deep Research mode. Deep Research is essentially a special-purpose agentic web researcher. Deep Research can dig around the web and build a much deeper analysis than ChatGPT. ChatGPT Work can do all that, …

7 Basic iPhone Tricks I Built With iOS 27’s Revamped Shortcuts App

7 Basic iPhone Tricks I Built With iOS 27’s Revamped Shortcuts App

Published by skeptic

I’ve never used Apple’s built-in Shortcuts app before, despite owning an iPhone for years. While automating tedious tasks sounded nice, the necessary scripting to trigger actions and thread them together felt overwhelming when I first opened the app. But my experience with the iOS 27 beta has completely changed my perspective on Shortcuts. What was previously clunky and forgotten now feels streamlined and essential. When iOS 27 lands this fall, Siri AI might be the most tangible change for many users, with its improved capabilities and stand-alone app. Even so, Apple Intelligence integration into the Shortcuts app has me humming “Zero to Hero” from Disney’s Hercules. Called “Describe a Short,” it lets you say what you want it to do conversationally, then the app generates an automation flow. You can also tweak it by sending a follow-up prompt in the app; the manual scripting option remains available for power users. Since I was testing this app through the iOS 27 beta, I experienced a couple of glitches where the automations didn’t generate perfectly. Even so, …

Set Up a Separate Work Profile on Your Android Phone

Published by skeptic

Our phones have become do-it-all gadgets. They enable us to keep in touch with one another, track how many steps we’re taking each day, snap photos of everything, and access the collective knowledge of humanity. All that universal functionality extends across both our work and personal lives. The gadget that pings you on Slack when your colleague has a question is the same one that alerts you when your friend has just outscored you at Wordle. That blurring of boundaries can be a problem. There is actually a solution to this, at least if you’re using an Android phone. Android supports the use of multiple profiles (based on Google accounts), so you can switch between two different ones as needed. The most obvious use case for this is to split up your work and personal usage. It’s essentially like having two phones on the same physical device: The profile that’s active dictates the apps you can use, the notifications you see, the browsing history you can dig into, and the files you’ve got access to, …

From herbs that quickly wilt to berries that rapidly develop mold, much of what ends up in the trash is less about what we purchase and more about how it’s kept at home. This spoilage is largely driven by moisture and temperature. Scientifically, produce doesn’t simply ‘go bad’ – it breaks down under specific conditions. Plants, much like humans, host natural microflora – a diverse community of microscopic organisms. “This could be bacteria, yeast, molds, things like that,” explained Amanda Deering, associate professor of produce food safety at Purdue University.
