Anthropic announced Tuesday that the Artifact feature it first previewed for Claude Pro users in June is now rolling out to all of the chatbot’s users, regardless of their subscription level.

Whether you’re accessing Claude through the web or either of its mobile apps, you’ll be able to view and create Artifacts, according to the announcement post.

Today, we're making Artifacts available for all Claude users. You can now also create and view Artifacts on the Claude iOS and Android apps.

Since launching in preview in June, tens of millions of Artifacts have been created. But where did it all begin?

Artifacts essentially act as live previews of certain kinds of content that Claude can generate. They allow the chatbot to “share substantial, standalone content with you in a dedicated window separate from the main conversation.” These can be things like large documents, code snippets, single-page HTML websites, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images, diagrams, and flowcharts — generally, content you’ll iterate upon, then take from the conversation and use elsewhere.

The company points to using the system to create architecture diagrams from codebases or generate interactive prototypes and visualizations to aid in rapid prototyping as potential use cases. Artifact creates “a dynamic workspace where they can see, edit, and build upon Claude’s creations in real time, seamlessly integrating AI-generated content into their projects and workflows,” the Anthropic team claims.

While Artifacts are now available to users on the Free, Pro, and Teams tiers, how you can share your creations will differ slightly depending on what level you subscribe to. Free and Pro users can publish their Artifacts publicly and allow other users to remix and republish the work. Teams users, on the other hand, will exist in walled gardens where they can share their Artifacts in Projects and only their teammates can access them. You can try Artifacts for yourself on the Claude Android app, iOS app, and website.

Apple’s Hide My Email feature has an unfixed bug that leaves email addresses exposed
100% exploitable in limited testing, known since June 2025, and still unfixed as of today.

Apple has been selling Hide My Email to keep your real email address hidden, but it has a vulnerability that does the exact opposite. The worst part is that the company has known about it for a year. 

Hide My Email, part of Apple’s paid iCloud+ subscription, lets users generate anonymous email addresses for signing up to a website, so that their personal or work email remains free of promotional emails and spam.

I hate sharing my Mac, but a face-unlocking app finally cured my privacy paranoia
Someone finally built the app locker every Mac user has been asking for.
FaceGate in action on Mac

If you have ever handed your Mac to a friend, family member, or coworker for "just a minute," you know the mild panic that follows. Sure, your Mac has a lock screen, but once someone is past it, they can open Messages, Photos, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, and your browser.

iPhones had the same issue, but Apple solved it by adding an app lock feature with the iOS 18 update. Sadly, no such feature exists for macOS. That’s where the new FaceGate app for Mac can help you. It’s a free and open-source app that lets you lock apps on your Mac and even has some novel tricks up its sleeve. So, let’s talk about it, shall we?

The charm of a tiny Windows tablet is apparently dead at Microsoft. Long live the Surface Go!
Microsoft’s budget Surface era may be over
Microsoft Surface Go 3 stand.

Microsoft might be cleaning up its Surface lineup. According to Windows Central, Microsoft has stopped manufacturing the Surface Go and Surface Laptop Go lines, with no successors currently planned. Surface Go 4 and Surface Laptop Go 3 are reportedly out of stock in most places, and once remaining retail stock is gone, that may be it.

If this is true, then we are looking at the end of the brand's budget Surface PCs as Microsoft has plenty of premium Windows hardware.
