It’s hard to deny the amazing capabilities of an AI chatbot like ChatGPT. That being said, maybe you’ve been an OpenAI devotee (the makers of ChatGPT) for some time, and you’re ready to cancel your account. Fortunately, putting a pin in your ChatGPT profile isn’t overly difficult, and can be accomplished using a desktop PC or mobile device.
We also know a thing or two about all of the above, so we put together this guide to help you through your day of deletion.
There are some things you should be aware of before you choose to delete your ChatGPT account:
If you're not sure you want to proceed, but still have concerns with this tool, you could simply delete your ChatGPT history, which is quicker and less destructive.
Step 1: Log into your ChatGPT account and then select your username from the lower-left corner of your screen.
Step 2: From the menu that appears, choose Settings.
Step 3: Click Data controls in the left-hand column. Then, click the red Delete button.
Step 4: Read through the final disclaimer that tells you everything you'll lose if you delete your ChatGPT account. If you still want to move forward with the process, type your email address into the designated text box, followed by the word DELETE in the text box below it.
Step 5: A new button that says Permanently delete my account should appear. Click this, and your ChatGPT account shall exist no more.
A ChatGPT Plus unlocks numerous benefits for its paid subscribers, including access to ChatGPT-4 and other useful add-ons. You can also just as easily delete a ChatGPT Plus subscription, and similarly to how you would delete a free version of ChatGPT (save for a couple of UI differences). Here's what to do:
Step 1: Launch ChatGPT, and click My Plan from the left column of options.
Step 2: A pop-up menu should appear. Click the Manage my subscription option.
Step 3: On the last page, click Cancel Plan.
Do keep in mind that if you subscribed to ChatGPT Plus using an iPhone or Android device, you'll need to cancel your account through iOS or Android.
Once you’ve deleted your ChatGPT free or paid account, OpenAI will maintain (but not necessarily use) a log of your personal data for up to 30 days. After 30 days, your data is permanently erased from OpenAI’s archives.
If your reason for deleting your account is privacy based, the developers have considered this. You can also use ChatGPT in privacy mode to keep your conversations hidden.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
