Trustmi, whose platform is designed to integrate with existing payment workflows and systems, attempts to prevent fraud by conducting an initial assessment of past payments and applying this model to future payments in search of anomalies. Leveraging a “trust network” that crowdsources data from vendors and businesses, Trustmi delivers a “comprehensive” approach to payments security, it claims, while letting customers retain full control over their payment processes. Trustmi also automates and handles audit preparations, establishing financial reporting standards, protecting data and monitoring for potential breaches. The platform’s payment approval workflow, meanwhile, lets users flag errors and attacks, making it easier, ostensibly, to spot areas where errors and attacks frequently occur and take steps to fix them.
Founded in 2020, fundgini is a global marketplace for dealmakers like investors, startup founders, fund seekers, among others. fundgini’s platform uses AI-based deal matching and personalised AI bot social media integration for pushing the right deals to the stakeholders.

Arc is finally ditching its waitlist. The browser is now available for Mac and iOS users. It features tools for taking notes, making collaborative easels, redesigning webpages, and more. The browser has been stable for months, though it has some performance issues as with any other Chromium-based browser.
Apple has opened up three different ways for app developers to start testing their apps on Vision Pro hardware before the product launches. Developers can apply to be sent Vision Pro hardware on loan, send their apps to Apple for Apple employees or contractors to test, or book time in one of Apple's visionOS developer labs. The labs will be places where developers can do self-directed coding and design work on their own development machines. Requests for access to the labs or developer kits will be granted on a case-by-case basis.

There is a spot in the Indian Ocean where Earth's gravitational pull is weaker, its mass is lower than normal, and the sea level dips by over 328 feet. Researchers from India believe that the phenomenon is caused by plumes of magma coming from deep inside the planet. They came to that conclusion by studying how the Earth formed its shape starting from 140 million years ago. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and its many plate movements can cause areas of different densities to form.
