Judy Blumes Forever gets a modern adaptation from Netflix

Mashable - Thu, 01/30/2025 - 11:00

From Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret to Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing to Tiger Eyes, novelist Judy Blume wrote books that met kids, tweens, and teens where they were. She discussed puberty, sex, and messy emotions with a frankness that has long scared conservatives, a topic touched on in the terrific documentary Judy Blume Forever. And now her groundbreaking young adult novel about teen love and sex — which has frequently been the subject of book bans — is getting an intriguing TV series adaptation from Netflix.

Creator/showrunner Mara Brock Akil transports the setting of Blume's novel from 1975 New Jersey to 2018 Los Angeles, where two Black teenagers experience first love. Lovie Simone stars as ambitious track star Keisha Clark, while Michael Cooper Jr. plays Justin Edwards, a crush-worthy boy with the muscles of a jock and the brain of a nerd. It's easy to see why they fall for each other. Harder to understand from this first teaser is what could keep them apart?

We'll find out when the series Forever hits Netflix in 2025.

For convenient, on the go-devices, tablets are our go-to travel companions. And among the tablet market, there's no ignoring Apple's iPads. There isn't just one or two models to choose from, as Apple has four different models in its line-up. We love the iPad Mini for reading and the iPad Air is going to be the best model for most people, but if you want an iPad to get work done, look no further than the iPad Pro.

This 2024 tablet dropped last year and came loaded with the M4 chip before it had even reached Apple's MacBooks. During our testing, the iPad Pro with M4 chip outperformed both the Apple MacBook Air with M3 chip as well as the Apple MacBook Pro with M3 chip on the Geekbench 6 test. It's ideal for professionals looking to do work tasks whether it be working in email or on more advanced tasks like graphic design and video editing.

DeepSeek database with private data and chat logs was exposed to the internet

Mashable - Thu, 01/30/2025 - 09:36

Chinese AI DeepSeek is incredibly popular right now, but you should be careful about handing it any of your private data.

Researchers over at Wiz reported on Wednesday that they identified a publicly accessible database belonging to DeepSeek, which in turned allowed anyone to access DeepSeek's internal data.

This data included chat logs, secret keys, and other sensitive information, Wiz claims. The text was in Chinese, but that's hardly an issue these days when anyone can use machine translation to translate it.

Upon its discovery, Wiz promptly disclosed the issue to DeepSeek, which fixed the error. However, it's the type of security flaw that should make you think twice before you use DeepSeek for anything that requires you to hand over even remotely sensitive data.

The details describing the issue are on Wiz's blog, but it boils down to DeepSeek using a ClickHouse database which was accessible without any authentication. Anyone who found this database could have executed an SQL query to get access to more than 1 million log entries, with timestamps, chat logs in plain text, and other metadata that a malicious hacker could've use to extract sensitive information belonging to DeepSeek users.

DeepSeek didn't publicly comment on the issue, and it's unclear whether this security flaw was abused by a third party before Wiz found out about it.

We've contacted DeepSeek about this issue and will update this article when we hear back.

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek has gotten an enormous amount of attention since it launched the latest version of its LLM, DeepSeek R1, earlier in January. DeepSeek R1 beats the best LLMs from U.S. companies, including those from OpenAI, in several key benchmarks, while reportedly being trained with significantly fewer resources. The company's iOS app quickly rose to the top of Apple's App Store, and its launch caused chaos in the U.S. stock market, shaving hundreds of billions off of Nvidia's market cap as the market suddenly anticipated weaker demand for Nvidia hardware.

Since then, several researchers pointed out security weaknesses and privacy issues in the way DeepSeek processes and stores user data.
