Inbox, outsourced: Perplexity just launched an AI “Email Assistant” that moves into your Gmail or Outlook, auto-sorts messages, drafts replies in your tone and books meetings. Cool, but it’s locked behind their $200/month Max plan. For those not trying to drop part of your rent money on your inbox, just smash that “mark all as read” button.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Made a typing mistake? Press Ctrl + Z on Windows or Cmd + Z on Mac to undo it. Need to redo? Hit Ctrl + Y on your PC or Cmd + Shift + Z on a Mac.
📱 Disable Android bloatware: Some preinstalled apps can’t be uninstalled, but they’ll still update and eat resources in the background. If you don’t use them, shut them down. Go to Settings > Apps > [App name] > Disable > Disable app. Handy if your phone’s running low on storage space.
🍏 Stop iPhone from switching audio: Ever had your AirPods cut out because your iPhone jumped to your car’s Bluetooth or a speaker? iOS 26 has a fix. Go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity and toggle on Keep Audio with Headphones. Lovely.
🐢 Speed up old PCs: On Windows 11, flashy animations and effects can slow down an older computer. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects and toggle off Transparency effects and Animation effects. Apps will open more basic and your desktop will look plainer, but you’ll get a snappier system in return.
💻 Customize the Mac menu bar: One big change in macOS Tahoe 26 is the fully transparent menu bar. Don’t like it? Go to System Settings > Menu Bar and toggle on Show menu bar background. While you’re there, you can also untick items like Bluetooth or Weather, or remove tools like ChatGPTHelper.
🧠 Siri’s gone fluent: Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 are like having a robot interpreter whispering in your head, translating languages live, right in your ears. You speak one, they hear another. Now I can finally learn why my favorite taco spot keeps calling me a grassy ass.

🤖 Change ChatGPT’s vibe: You’re not stuck with the default tone. Go to Settings > Personalization > ChatGPT personality. Cynic is sarcastic, Robot is efficient, Listener is supportive, and Nerd is playful. FYI: Leave it on Default if you’d rather keep it neutral and adaptive. Or prompt “reply in a friendly tone” whenever you need.
