Reel in your GoPro with the Bobber attachment

By Scott Younker Published May 30, 2012

GoPro is known for its cameras that can take a beating and easy attachment to users who are surfing, mountain biking, and skateboarding, among other things. But if it’s not attached to your body or helmet, the GoPro can easily get away from you, especially in the water.

Yes, the GoPro HERO actioncam is waterproof rated down to 197 feet (60 meters) but it doesn’t float, and it likes to sink really fast. In murky water this can be a problem. Fortunately, GoPole, a GoPro accessories company, created The Bobber.

The Bobber is a bright yellow handle for the HERO. It’s fine for boating, swimming, and other water-based activities. The Bobber acts much like a buoy for your device and it’s supposed to be capable of holding the weight of GoPro’s 3D system or cameras with LCD or battery packs. There are other flotation systems available for the HERO, but GoPole claims that it’s the only one that doesn’t block the user’s view of the LCD screen.

Grab the Bobber for $29.99 and get to swimming.

Researchers hid a prompt injection inside a PNG, and AI fell for it

Hacker

AI coding assistants like Claude are becoming every developer's favorite coworker. They can review code, explain confusing functions, and even write entire features with a single prompt. But new research suggests that this growing trust could also become their biggest weakness.

A team of security researchers (professor Sudipta Chattopadhyay and researcher Murali Ediga) has demonstrated an unusual attack that doesn't target the AI model directly. Instead, it targets what the AI doesn't pay enough attention to during code reviews. Rather than hiding malicious instructions in lines of code, the researchers tucked them inside an image file. Since many AI review tools treat images as decorative assets rather than as something worth inspecting, the pull request can appear perfectly harmless and sail through the review.

AI has already fallen into the wrong hands and they’re using it to make bombs

Artificial intelligence has quickly become the go-to tool for everything from writing emails and summarizing meetings to helping students study or developers debug code. But the same technology that saves people time can also be misused, and a new report suggests that terrorist organizations are finding ways to do exactly that.

According to a research paper shared with The New York Times ahead of its publication, researchers found evidence that members of Boko Haram have been using popular AI chatbots to support both day-to-day activities and combat-related tasks. Interviews with 27 former members conducted in Nigeria over the past two years suggest that tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Meta AI, and DeepSeek were used to gather technical information, troubleshoot weapons, and even assist with planning attacks.

Claude Code can now browse the web without opening Chrome

The desktop app now includes an in-app browser that can read websites, click links, and interact with web apps.

Developers spend a surprising amount of time bouncing between their code editor, browser tabs, API documentation, GitHub issues, and design files. Anthropic thinks Claude Code should simply do all of that without constantly asking users to switch windows. The company has announced a new in-app browser for Claude Code on desktop, allowing its AI coding assistant to open websites, read documentation, inspect designs, and interact with web pages directly from within the application.
