How to Delete Your Incognito Mode History and Protect Your Privacy

No, simply using Incognito or Private Mode isn't enough: records of your online activities are still kept. Here's what you need to do.

When you browse the internet in incognito mode, the browser doesn't save your web queries and the websites you visit. Your browsing history, cookies, or other site data are not saved in incognito mode. However, just using the incognito mode doesn't guarantee private browsing. Your browser is not the only place where your data is stored.

Your ISP collects and stores data about your online activities, including which websites you visit—yes, when you're using incognito mode too.





Would it be better to teach students how to detect errors the Chatgpt makes and correct them? No doubt they will encounter this technology outside of school.

NYC education department blocks ChatGPT on school devices, networks

New York City students and teachers can no longer access ChatGPT — the new artificial intelligence-powered chatbot that generates stunningly cogent and lifelike writing — on education department devices or internet networks, agency officials confirmed Tuesday.

The education department blocked access to the program, citing “negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content,” a spokesperson said. The move from the nation’s largest school system could have ripple effects as districts and schools across the country grapple with how to respond to the arrival of the dynamic new technology.

The Way Forward for Legal Education

Thomson, David I. C., The Way Forward for Legal Education (January 3, 2023). Carolina Academic Press (2023), U Denver Legal Studies Research Paper Forthcoming, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4300580 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4300580

This book (of which this paper is an excerpt) offers a post-pandemic vision for the future of legal education and charts a path to get there. Among the book’s recommendations are that schools must dispense with the LSAT and develop an alternative non-discriminatory admissions process. Further, that law schools should admit a much larger cohort to the 1L year, at much reduced cost, and put most of 1L content online in a hybrid format. It suggests that a “baby bar” be administered at the end of the first year, with only roughly half passing into second year and the rest awarded a master’s degree in American Law, which will become a credential to become a Limited License Legal Technician (LLLT), the expansion of which will help address the critical justice gap that we currently have in the legal system. It argues for the expansion of experiential learning and the intentional formation of professional identity in the 2L and 3L years. While these proposals may seem radical at first, many of them are already happening in various natural experiments around legal education, and the ABA is already moving in this direction. This book provides comprehensive guidance on how these proposals can be gradually adopted, with the goal that they spread throughout legal education over the next decade.
