Every week, we'll be breaking down the top stories in tech and keeping you up to date on all the information you need to know. So grab a cup of coffee and get ready to dive right in. Let's get to it!

Usually, I send this newsletter on Saturdays. But let me tell you a little secret about vacations: they're not breaks but work boomerangs. You toss your tasks away, and guess what? They come back - doubled!

Anyways, I initially toyed with the idea of sending a newsletter during my time in Mexico. But honestly, juggling margaritas by the pool and basking in the scorching sun took precedence.

I did, however, write a post. Instead of mailing it out, I shared it via the newsletter’s homepage, which you can find at any time at mail.knowtechie.com. It’s worth reading and gives you a behind-the-veil look at how it runs a newsletter. Read it here:

People who label newsletters as spam are the spammers themselves

If you're going to report our newsletter as spam, ask yourself first: "Am I the spammer?"

🔌 OpenAI has made its in-house plug-in, Code Interpreter, available to all ChatGPT Plus subscribers. This tool allows ChatGPT to run code and access uploaded files.

🧰 The AI can write code in Python and manipulate files up to 100MB. It enables users to generate charts, maps, data visualizations, and graphics, analyze music playlists, create interactive HTML files, clean datasets, and extract color palettes from images.

🔄 The older, more popular version of TweetDeck has unexpectedly returned with free API access. This is after it was disabled last week due to Twitter's introduction of a rate-limiting paywall and the termination of legacy APIs.
Naturally, users like myself and many others are super stoked to see this but also keeping our fingers crossed that it won't get yanked away again.

🚀 Threads' is killing it. Millions signed up in just a few days! It looks like Twitter might have some serious competition, especially with all the recent gripes from its users. But let's not pop the champagne yet - keeping folks hooked for the long run? Now that's a whole different ball game.
