Claude recently acquired a scam detector, which could help you avoid an expensive error.

      Claude can now distinguish between scams and genuine content, even when you're unable to do so.

      ---

      Thanks to the content generation capabilities of AI, it has become increasingly challenging to identify scams. Research by Malwarebytes indicates that 66% of individuals find it difficult to differentiate a scam from legitimate offers. AI-generated scams have become so convincing that even those well-versed in technology are occasionally caught by surprise.

      This issue is exacerbated as more people rely on AI for answers to a wide range of queries. Individuals are increasingly using AI-powered browsers and tools like Claude for everyday questions, such as wardrobe choices for events or restaurant recommendations while traveling. It won't be long before these individuals begin asking their AI tools for advice on online safety.

      Currently, there are few tools available that can alert users to suspicious or scam-related content generated by AI. Malwarebytes aims to address this problem by incorporating its threat intelligence directly into Claude, allowing users to verify questionable content without leaving their conversations.

      So, how does it function?

      Once you connect Malwarebytes to Claude, you can paste any dubious link, phone number, or email address and request Claude to check it. You’ll receive one of four assessments: safe, malicious, suspicious, or unknown. Each assessment will include recommendations on the next steps to take.

      Here’s what you can verify:

      - Links: Paste a URL from a message or email to determine if it’s safe to click.

      - Phone numbers: Verify if an unfamiliar number is associated with scams.

      - Email addresses: Check if a sender's domain is tied to phishing activities.

      - WHOIS lookup: Ask Claude to retrieve domain registration details to assess the legitimacy of a website.

      **How do you set it up?**

      You can set up Malwarebytes just like any other Claude connector. Open Claude, navigate to Customize → Connectors. Click the plus button, search for Malwarebytes, and select Connect. The best part is you don't need a Malwarebytes account.

      Asus has launched the astounding dual-screen ROG Zephyrus Duo at a staggering price point.

      The ROG Zephyrus Duo is more than just a gaming laptop with dual screens; it represents the company's most ambitious effort to create a "portable workstation" that also excels at gaming.

      Asus has concluded that a single screen is insufficient for a laptop. The ROG Zephyrus Duo has made a comeback to the market featuring two screens, with pre-orders currently available for what the company claims to be the world's first 16-inch dual-screen gaming laptop. With prices starting at $4,499.99 and reaching up to $5,499.99 for the highest configuration, this device is clearly intended for those who measure their laptops by their ambition, whether for innovation or the desire to game on a dual-screen setup.

      Nvidia quietly introduced a new version of the GeForce RTX 5070 GPU within a driver blog post.

      However, an increase in VRAM does not always translate to enhanced performance, and the pricing could render the RTX 5070 Ti a more appealing option depending on the final specifications.

      Nvidia recently unveiled a new GPU variant in an unexpected manner: it was embedded within a game driver update blog post. Along with the release of its Game Ready 596.36 WHQL driver, the company also announced the availability of a 12GB GDDR7 version of the GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU.

      Dell 34 Plus USB-C monitor review: An ultrawide beauty with delightful surprises.

      Dell's curved monitor combines practical minimalism with several appealing features of its own.

      Quick Take: I've grown increasingly wary of any monitor that markets itself as a "productivity display." They aren't necessarily bad, but the main reason for my skepticism is that most of them tend to be dull and slow to adopt modern standards. They often feature bulky black bezels and a boring grey-on-grey corporate aesthetic that screams "I belong in a 2014 cubicle," lacking an engaging presence on the desk. I never wanted any of them to occupy space in my workstation. As I unboxed the Dell 34 Plus USB-C monitor (model S3425DW), I was prepared for the typical letdown. Instead, I was in for a pleasant surprise.
