JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Jamestown man is facing drug and child endangerment charges after police searched an apartment on Hazzard Street.

During the search, which took place on the afternoon of April 10, members of the Jamestown Metro Drug Task Force found Luis M. Torres Cortes, 39, and two children.

Inside, they say cash, scales, drug paraphernalia and nearly 16 grams of fentanyl were found.

Cortes, who was arrested and taken into custody, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminally using drug paraphernalia and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has changed its policy to ban U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through the Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI technologies. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service 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 text- and speech-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.

Apple earnings see 10% iPhone sales drop, massive buyback fuels stock jump
Apple on Thursday reported a 10% drop in iPhone sales for the second fiscal quarter, dropping from $51.33 billion to $45.96 billion, year-over-year. Apple’s slow adoption of AI versus competitors like Google and Microsoft likely played a role in consumers’ decision to hold off on purchasing a new iPhone. Apple has promised some big announcements on that front (likely at WWDC in June), but the iPhone 16 itself likely won’t arrive until fall.

EU plan to force messaging apps to scan for CSAM risks millions of false positives, experts warn
A controversial push by European Union lawmakers to legally require messaging platforms to scan citizens' private communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) could lead to millions of false positives per day, hundreds of security and privacy experts warned in an open letter Thursday. Concern over the EU proposal has been building since the Commission proposed the CSAM-scanning plan two years ago -- with independent experts, lawmakers across the European Parliament and even the bloc's own Data Protection Supervisor among those sounding the alarm.

Spotify has apparently found a new way to push its free users to a paid subscription: It's putting lyrics behind a paywall. Instead, the company told TechCrunch simply that Spotify's features can vary over time, between markets and across devices. The response indicates the change to lyrics may be more than just a test but that Spotify isn't yet prepared to make an official announcement about affected markets.
