In summary this week: what has changed in the CES after the pandemic, how to detect an intruder on your WiFi network, by the way what are these yellow poles surmounted by a triangle, and to end an editorial on ChatGPT and the revolution that this technology entails.
What changed with CES 2023
After 56 years of CES, the time has come: profitability seems to have replaced hype and experience has replaced product. And on the whole this great physical mass which sets the tone for the great technological innovations of the year seems less successful than in the past. The key to understanding what is unfolding is undoubtedly the economic context – with a tech sector that is less interesting in a general trend that tends towards sobriety. But also the end of free money, which puts the cursor back on projects that are both less risky and less innovative.
Think an intruder is using your Wi-Fi network? Here’s how to flush it out
WiFi networks are not the most secure way to connect. Various methods can be used to penetrate wireless networks, by guessing their key. However, it is possible to detect potential intruders who use your internet connection unduly and above all to block (or at least complicate) any future access to them. To do this, go to the administration interface of your router (usually http://192.168.1.1). We explain all the settings to modify on your WiFi network to block intruders.
What are these yellow poles surmounted by a triangle?
You have already seen them in fields, on the side of the road, sometimes in parks, or forests. These yellow poles surmounted by a triangle are actually installed for a specific reason. They manifest underground danger in order to prevent a person from causing an accident by digging in the wrong place. These poles are available in several colors. When they are yellow they actually belong to the gas distribution network, and therefore indicate the presence of a gas pipeline underground.
ChatGPT is a revolution… but what should you be prepared for?
Technically, with ChatGPT, we are not quite in AI yet but in the first convincing example of a large learning model capable of compiling a single answer for any question asked based on millions of sources which were used in his learning. The uses that this creation of OpenAI allows are already immense, and the next few years should see this kind of approach take more and more place in our society and economic ecosystem. But are we even ready for this announced revolution?
That’s all for today. Find next week a new Lemon-pressed to stay connected to the news that should not be missed!
