The Verge Elon Musk’s xAI could soon make its next move to compete with OpenAI: launching a standalone app for its Grok chatbot. Musk created xAI as an alternative to OpenAI, the company he helped found but later distanced himself from over ideological differences. Now, The Wall Street Journal reports, xAI is planning to launch an app as soon as December that could go head-to-head with OpenAI’s ChatGPT as it races to scale up. Currently, users can access Grok through X, but only if they subscribe to the service. Citing unnamed sources, the Journal reports that xAI is also behind customer support features for Starlink, part of Musk’s other company, SpaceX. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. OpenAI’s ChatGPT,... Continue reading…

The Mini 3 won’t cost a fortune to replace if you break it. I’ve been itching to get my hands on an easy-to-use hobbyist drone that I won’t hate myself for eventually breaking. The DJI Mini 3 has been at the top of my list: it hits the mark as a compact drone that you can pilot without having to attend aviation school, and I’ll probably go ahead and bite the bullet now that it’s back down to its record-low price — especially considering I may eventually lose my chance to get one at all. You can get the smallish aircraft right now for $329 ($90 off) at DJI’s online store for Black Friday. The package featured here includes a battery (extras cost $65 each) and DJI’s RC-N1 remote. The latter doesn’t have an integrated display, but you can add one that does for another $100. If you’re just looking... Continue reading…

There are plenty of reasons to transfer your profile from one Netflix account to a different subscription. Maybe you're moving away from home and want to create a different Netflix handle than your parents. Maybe it's marriage, divorce, or any other type of relationship that involves leaving one place or joining another. And maybe it's just Netflix's more aggressive password-sharing crackdown that's finally convinced you to stop freeloading. Of course, you could always ditch Netflix altogether and use free streaming apps instead. But if you want to stay with Netflix, we'll make it easy for you to move your profiles. As long as you share your Netflix account with someone else, there are only two ways to continue accessing that account. One is to live with that person at the same address. Or, you have to pay to have an extra member on the main person's account. Netflix started enforcing the password-sharing ban in the summer of 2023. At the time, the company also created a tool that lets you export your profile to a new account. The problem was that you needed to export one profile at a time, and some users found it challenging to export multiple profiles to a different account. Now, however, it's easier than ever to make the move. Continue reading... The post Ready to stop mooching and open your own Netflix account? How to transfer multiple profiles appeared first on BGR.
