Woman: Did you hear about the fire on the high-speed rail this morning?
Man: Yes, I saw the news. It said a power bank caught fire in the first carriage.
Woman: That must have been terrifying for the passengers.
Man: For sure. Luckily, some of them used fire extinguishers to control the flames before the train arrived at Zuoying Station.
Woman: Good thing no one was seriously hurt.

Man: I was supposed to pick up my cousin at Taoyuan Airport last night, but his flight got delayed.
Woman: Oh no, was it because of the weather?
Man: Yeah, there were strong winds and thunderstorms. His plane had to land in Kaohsiung first before flying back to Taoyuan later.
Woman: That must have been stressful. At least he arrived safely in the end.

Woman: Have you seen the new documentary Buy Now on Netflix?
Man: Yeah, I watched it last night. I never realized my old clothes could end up on a beach in West Africa.
 

Woman: I read about a hospital using VR to help children with burns.
Man: Yeah, they use games like SnowWorld to distract them from the pain. It actually reduces their discomfort a lot.

Man: Amber, there are only ten buns on the table. They are not enough. I need six more.

Man: No, two buns for each person.
Woman: I see. I will go get some more at LK Bakery.

Woman: Just checking—are we still scheduled to meet tomorrow morning?
Man: Actually, something urgent has come up. Would it be possible to reschedule for next Tuesday at 10:30?
Woman: That should work.
Man: Great, I appreciate your flexibility.

Woman: My paycheck doesn’t look right. Can you help me figure it out?
Man: Sure. Let’s check the attendance system. Oh, you missed a day— you were sick on the 17th. That’s why you didn’t get the bonus.
 

       A British phone company has created an AI chatbot designed to combat phone scammers. Released by Virgin Media 02, Daisy acts and talks like a friendly older woman while on the phone with scammers. Her objective is simply to waste their time with her lack of tech literacy and long-winded stories about her grandchildren.

       This novel approach arrives as phone scams targeting vulnerable individuals have seen an increase in recent years. Daisy turns the tables by engaging scammers in long conversations, which keeps them from targeting real victims. Unlike traditional scamprevention systems, Daisy is powered by advanced AI.

       After translating the scammer's voice to text, the AI searches its database to produce a suitable response from Daisy within seconds. For example, a conversation might have Daisy appear to act confused about payment details. Such responses annoy the scammer and keep them occupied.

       Although this technology is a promising effort to combat fraud globally, individuals still need to remain vigilant to protect themselves from scammers. As Murray Mackenzie, Director of Fraud at Virgin Media 02, put it, "Daisy is also a reminder that no matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone is, maybe they aren't always who you think they are."

       The U.S. government has decided to remove some tariffs (extra taxes on imported goods) on products like smartphones, computers, semiconductors, and other electronics. These tariffs were part of a trade conflict between the U.S. and China.

       A U.S. official said that the goal is to make sure the U.S. still gets enough semiconductors, which are important parts used in many electronics. Taiwan is one of the main producers of semiconductors. In fact, Taiwan makes about 60% of the world’s chips and 90% of the most advanced ones.

       Other products like modems, routers, and flash drives are also not affected by the tariffs for now. But this change is temporary, and the U.S. may start a new investigation into semiconductor trade in the future. During a 90-day pause, the U.S. lowered Taiwan’s tariffs from 32% to 10% after Taiwan shared an industrial support plan. Taiwan’s Foreign Minister said they will use this time to talk more deeply with the U.S. about trade and cooperation.

       Taiwan hopes to work with the U.S. to create a strong economic partnership. Taiwan also plans to buy more goods from the U.S., up to US$200 billion over the next 10 years, to help reduce the trade imbalance. President Lai Ching-te said Taiwan will keep working closely with the U.S. to solve trade problems, and Taiwan is included in the first group of countries for new trade negotiations.
