Dallas PD to expand use of Clearview “to Class B misdemeanors and above, which means it could use facial recognition for crimes like theft and trespassing.”
Dallas Police to expand controversial facial recognition tech to less serious crimes
The use of the tech is currently reserved for serious felonies like murder, kidnapping and rape. Now it could be used for porch pirates.

They put a "national security" exception into the Epstein Files bill, and the Trump Administration views any negative thing about Trump as a national security issue.

The (new?) Google Chrome feature of being able to right-click and open up a link in a SPLIT window (so the original and new window open up side by side) is an actually good update that makes the product more usable. It's the first one of those in a few years.
