I spent £125 at Charli XCX's favourite restaurant - one thing had to be changed
As a north Londoner, when I heard that Charli XCX's favourite London restaurant was just down the road in Highbury and Islington, I knew I had to pop in for a bite Charli XCX is easily one of the most influential figures for Gen Z and Millenials alike, thanks to the success of her 2024 album Brat, which birthed the iconic Brat Summer era and sent a slime green wave global as fans channelled their inner Brat. A year on, the 365 singer is still having a cultural impact, from her DJ set with Cannes (alongside fiancé George Daniel) to her song 'I think about it all the time' climbing in virality on TikTok as the backing track for the new 'propaganda I'm not falling for' trend. As the cultural icon she's become, her recommendations are treated like gold dust and thankfully, she's not gatekeeping them. In a video posted in November 2024, Charli engaged in a quick-fire Q&A with Top Jaw, sharing her top recommendations, from the best bar in London (she says it's Trisha's in Soho) to her favourite restaurant. Charli's favourite London spot, Trullo, is based in Highbury and Islington. The quaint, unassuming restaurant is mere seconds from the tube station, and is nested on St Paul's Road. It's only noticeable by it's royal blue exterior and doubles as the perfect spot for a mega star to grab a low-key bite. I managed to book a table for 9pm, fairly late but a win is a win. Once seated at our table, the lights around us dimmed and my friend and I couldn't help but notice how cosy and - dare I say - romantic the spot had become. It'd make the perfect place for a date. We ordered sparkling white wine and the Bruschetta of Westcombe ricotta and marinated Olasagasti anchovy (£14.50) to start, although our waiter described a delicious squid starter option that wasn't featured on the menu. For mains, we both loved the sound of the Pici with white asparagus, prosciutto San Daniele and egg yolk (£21), but asked for a different pasta shape - sorry to be pici but I love tagliatelle! Our waiter obliged and offered the meal in a tagliatelle shape instead which tasted divine. With a huge portion, oozing with flavour, it's no surprise that Charli listed this as one of her favourites in the whole city. From incredible service, indulgent food and a cosy atmosphere. In total, our meal, including drinks and service charge cost £125.42 for two. You really can't go wrong with a bite at Trullo, but good luck at getting a spot as bookings fill fast. Next month, you'll be able to experience Charli's very own music recommendations, as the singer has been busy curating her own 'Party Girl Festival' which she'll headline along with personally chosen special guests, including 070 Shake, The Dare and The Japanese House, with many more still to come. The 'Party Girl Festival' is part of the LIDO festival and will take place from June 6 to June 15, but Charli won't take to the stage until June 14. The singer announced the 'Party Girl Festival' via Instagram, sharing the festival poster with the caption: "I'm throwing a festival in London in Victoria Park on June 14th and all these people are playing so get tickets xx." Fans took to the comments to share their excitement at the line-up and Charli's impending performance, with one writing: "This the only time I wish I lived in the UK."

Popular cloud storage service might be oversharing your data
A friend recently told me that the artificial intelligence she uses occasionally asks her: "How is your baby?". That is what happens when you share personal information with an AI. The chats become weird and perhaps scary if you actually believe AI is sentient. Even if you don't believe AI is sentient, I assume you wouldn't want it to have access to your banking data. Would you? Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Having your data in "the cloud" has become the norm. It does not matter whether you use an iPhone with iCloud or an Android with Google Drive; your device is almost inevitably connected to a cloud service. It probably makes you feel your data is safer because even if your phone is destroyed in an accident, it is still in the cloud. The convenient sharing of files must be the "killer feature" for photography lovers. Once companies figured out they could make more money by selling their software "as a service", instead of selling it as a product you pay for just once, we got into the wonderful world where we can't avoid using so-called webapps. Good examples are Slack, Trello, ClickUp, Zoom, and, of course, ChatGPT. Yes, Slack can be installed as an application, but it is actually just a browser with one tab open and a lot of makeup. These services often offer integration with cloud storage services so you can share some of that data with them. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in October 2015: "More than half a billion people manage their documents and photos in OneDrive." As the company does not release usage data, that 10-year-old quote from Computerworld is the best available estimate of the number of OneDrive users. It is probably a lot smaller than the real number. Related: Palantir gets great news from the Pentagon Because Microsoft (MSFT) doesn't give any data specific to OneDrive, we have to rely on the data for Microsoft 365 products. Here are some interesting numbers from its earnings report for Q3 of fiscal year 2025: Revenue was $70.1 billion and increased 13% year over income was $25.8 billion and increased 18% 365 commercial products and cloud services revenue increased 11% 365 Consumer products and cloud services revenue increased 10% YoY. Again, we don't have the exact numbers, just the total revenue, but the revenue from 365 services is growing steadily. Considering how much money it is making and that many businesses are using it, OneDrive must be very secure, at least that is what you'd expect. When two apps have "integrations", we can say that both of the apps "integrating" represent non-human identities working together. Oasis Security is a private company specializing in the management and security for non-human identities. Non-human identities are any software process, application, service, or machine that can interact with another. On May 28th, they published an alarming research paper on Microsoft's OneDrive. Oasis researchers discovered that whenever you upload files from your OneDrive to a web app like ChatGPT or Slack, OneDrive's file picker requests read access for the entire drive. This means that even when you upload a single file, the app gets access to all your files. More Tech Stocks: Palantir gets great news from the PentagonAnalyst has blunt words on Trump's iPhone tariff plansOpenAI teams up with legendary Apple exec This is the scenario where if you have banking documents on your OneDrive and you intend to give ChatGPT access to some unimportant text file, as a bonus, it gets access to the banking files, too, and whatever else you have there. And the best part-the permissions are valid for at least an hour. The company estimated that hundreds of apps are affected, not just the ones mentioned. According to Oasis, they reached out to Microsoft, "which took note of the report and may consider improvements in the future". If you use OneDrive, you should check which apps have access to it and revoke any suspicious apps. Oasis provided instructions on how to check your personal OneDrive accounts: Log in to your Microsoft the left or top pane, click on "Privacy".Under "App Access", select the list of apps that have access to your the list of apps, and for each app, click on "Details" to view the specific scopes and permissions can "Stop Sharing" at any time. Consider that an Access Token takes about an hour to expire regardless of when you clicked stopped sharing. This would however revoke a Refresh Token if present. Overall, when protecting your data, think deeply about giving apps access in the future.

Cops hunting four suspects over gold shop owner's kidnapping case
KOTA BARU: Police are still tracking down four men believed to be involved in the kidnapping of a gold shop owner here on May 20. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the suspects, in their 20s and 30s, are believed to still be in the state. "They are under police surveillance, and we are in the process of hunting them down," he said when contacted today. The case made headlines after a video clip went viral, showing the victim's vehicle being blocked before he was forced into a grey Suzuki Swift. The victim was released on the same day. The incident is believed to be linked to a long-running extortion attempt. The 44-year-old victim told police that the suspects had demanded 80kg of gold worth nearly RM40 million. He claimed he had previously handed over cash and jewellery out of fear and was targeted again after refusing further demands. The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine a person.

High Court acquits 2 in 2017 Sonipat rape and murder case, says evidence falls short
In a significant ruling, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday acquitted two men in a 2017 case involving the abduction, gangrape, and murder of a 19-year-old woman from Sonipat, citing insufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A division bench of Justice Gurvinder Singh Gill and Justice Jasjit Singh Bedi set aside the conviction and sentence delivered by a Sonipat trial court on December 19, 2022. The case began with an FIR registered on May 11, 2017, under Section 365 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with kidnapping or abducting someone with the intent to secretly and wrongfully confine them. That same day, the woman's decomposed body was found in Parsvnath City, Rohtak. As the investigation progressed, several other charges, such as IPC Section 302 (Punishment for murder) and Section 376-A(d)/34 (Gangrape, read with common intention), were added to the case. The 59-page judgment authored by Justice Bedi noted that 'there is some suspicion regarding the accused having committed the offence. However, the chain of circumstantial evidence available on record is not so complete as to conclusively and unerringly point towards the guilt of the accused'. The court said that while the crime was brutal, the prosecution failed to meet the legal threshold required for conviction. According to the prosecution, the victim had been harassed by a neighbour and was abducted at gunpoint on May 9, 2017. It was alleged that she was drugged, gangraped, and then murdered using bricks. The post-mortem confirmed death due to head injuries, with injuries suggesting possible sexual assault. However, no seminal fluid was found due to decomposition. The prosecution relied on the recovery of bloodstained bricks and clothes, call detail records (CDRs) showing frequent contact between the accused and the victim, and disclosure statements. But the court found several gaps. On the recovery of bricks, Justice Bedi noted: 'At best, it would suggest that the accused persons knew where the weapon of offence was kept. No presumption can be drawn of the accused having committed the offence with the said weapons.' The court also flagged issues in how the forensic samples were handled. 'There is no link evidence as to how the shirt and trousers recovered on disclosure reached the FSL, Madhuban,' it said. The CDRs showed over 500 calls made by one accused to the victim in the month before her death, and 56 calls made by her to him. However, the court said call records alone were not enough to establish guilt. It cited a 2004 Supreme Court ruling (N.J. Suraj vs State), which held that a motive is not sufficient unless the evidence leads to an irresistible conclusion of guilt. Further doubts were raised by the absence of eyewitnesses, a key prosecution witness turning hostile, and CCTV footage failing to identify anyone in the car. On the DNA evidence, the court said that it 'is in the nature of opinion evidence… mere exhibiting a document would not prove its contents,' referring to Rahul v. State of Delhi (2023). Allowing the appeal, the bench ruled: 'We find considerable merit in the present appeal. The impugned judgment is set aside and the accused/appellants are acquitted of the charges framed against them.'

Gold dispute linked to Tumpat kidnapping case
KOTA BHARU: The refusal of a gold shop owner to hand over 30 kilogrammes of gold is believed to be the main motive behind his abduction in Palekbang, Tumpat on May 20, said Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat. He said the 44-year-old victim had allegedly declined a demand from the group for the gold, prompting the suspects to kidnap him in what is believed to be an attempt to extort money. 'However, the ransom was never paid as the victim was released the same day, following swift police action which included launching a statewide operation and roadblocks at strategic locations, including near the border,' he said when contacted today. Mohd Yusoff said police believe the suspects released the victim after realising the scale of the police operation. Investigations also revealed that the victim is believed to know the suspects. Efforts are underway to track down four men suspected to be involved, The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping with intent to wrongfully confine a person. The incident came to light after a video clip went viral, showing the victim's vehicle being intercepted and the man being forcibly taken into a grey Suzuki Swift.
