ChatGPT’s app connectors extend the chatbot beyond text or voice interactions, allowing users to perform tasks inside third-party apps without leaving the interface. By linking services like Spotify, Canva and Google Drive through OpenAI’s new SDK, ChatGPT can create designs, organise files or control music playback. The feature offers agentic convenience, though with access limits and user permissions required for privacy and security.

NASA will retire the ISS in 2030, sending it to Point Nemo, a remote Pacific zone known as the spacecraft cemetery.

The controlled descent aims to avoid past mishaps and reflects a new era of commercial space stations.

Further observations in 2025 may reveal why this cosmic visitor behaves differently from typical comets in our solar neighbourhood.
