A K-9 with the Bettendorf Police Department has a new layer of protection, thanks to a generous donation from the community.

Lewis, a German shepherd, received the new ballistic vest as a donation from H&H Towing. The vest will help Lewis stay safe during patrols. The vest is bullet- and stab-proof. Lewis works with his handler, Officer Derrick Said, and has been on the job since October. Lewis helps sniff out drugs and catch criminals.

Jeremy Glaser, a lawyer and co-chair of Mintz's venture capital and emerging companies practice, said that despite how the recent IPOs have performed thus far, people need more data than just a few weeks, or a month, of trading to feel confident.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more clearly prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and possibly future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.

OnlyFans hits UK regulator's radar for age-verification failures around porn access
U.K. regulator Ofcom is investigating OnlyFans, an online adult content subscription service, for failing to prevent children from accessing pornography through the platform.
