What’s happened? Facebook Marketplace just got a massive upgrade with new Meta AI integrations and social features.

In a blog post outlining the changes, Meta revealed users can now create collections of Marketplace listings and share them with friends, who can also join chats with sellers for a more collaborative buying experience.
Listings now support reactions and comments, letting users share their experiences with others. In addition, Marketplace learns from these interactions to suggest items based on user preferences for a more personalized shopping experience.
A new Meta AI-powered feature will suggest questions users should ask when interacting with sellers, while another will offer detailed insights on vehicle listings, including engine options, transmission type, seating, cargo capacity, reviews, and price insights.
Meta has also improved the checkout experience, and it now shows total costs, including shipping and tax, for full transparency.

Why is this important? With these changes, Meta aims to make Facebook Marketplace a more social and interactive shopping platform.

Collaborative features like shared collections and group chats with sellers can make it easier for users to get feedback from friends and negotiate effectively.
AI-powered suggestions and insights should help users discover relevant products and make informed purchase decisions, especially for big-ticket items like vehicles.

Why should I care? If you often shop on Facebook Marketplace, these changes should make it easier to collaborate with your roommates on which couch to buy or to negotiate the best deals.

By leaving reactions and comments on listings, you’ll be able to improve the shopping experience of other users on the platform. This engagement should also benefit sellers by improving visibility and increasing their chances of converting new buyers.
The AI-powered question suggestions should help you get all the crucial information from sellers, while the vehicle insights will ensure you know everything about the model before going ahead with the purchase.

What’s next? The collections feature, reactions and comments on Marketplace listings, and the improved checkout experience are now live for all users. Meta is still testing the collaborative buying experience as well as AI-powered vehicle insights and question suggestions, so users can expect additional updates in the coming months.

MIT researchers found a new Spectre attack that can slip past Intel and AMD defenses

Spectre has been haunting CPU security since 2018, and MIT researchers have now found another way to make it misbehave. The new TONTOU attack can bypass some of the defenses Intel and AMD have added over the years by exploiting a tiny gap in how those protections work. The research comes from Daniël Trujillo and Mengjia Yan at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Their findings show that even after a processor wipes or isolates information used by its branch predictor, there can be a brief window before that information is actually used. TONTOU, short for Time-of-Neutralization to Time-of-Use, attacks precisely that gap.

Microsoft accidentally gave Windows 11 users another OneDrive app, and you can’t easily remove it

Microsoft says the wider-than-intended rollout was an accident, but removing the app currently means removing OneDrive too.

Windows 11 users have been getting a new OneDrive app whether they asked for it or not. The problem? Microsoft says it wasn't supposed to happen. Microsoft has confirmed that its OneDrive Photos app was rolled out to Windows 11 PCs more broadly than intended, including enterprise machines where the app isn't even designed to work. The company says it is now working on a fix, but there's an awkward catch: users currently can't uninstall OneDrive Photos without removing the main OneDrive app too.

So, what exactly got installed?

Apple Reminders sucked for project management until I learned this feature

Your checklist deserves better. Here's how to turn Reminders into a proper Kanban board.

Apple reminders on Mac

For the longest time, I used Apple Reminders only for capturing quick tasks. Thanks to its Siri integration, Reminders let me add tasks quickly so nothing would fall through the cracks. However, when it came to managing big projects, I always moved to a more powerful task manager like OmniFocus or Things 3.

That changed the day I stumbled onto the Column view. Apple added this feature with the iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma updates, and somehow I completely missed it. But once I discovered and got the hang of it, Reminders finally started to feel like a real project management tool instead of a glorified sticky note.
