Let’s see. I know a 67-year-old guy, a 42-year-old woman, a 58-year-old guy, a 76-year-old woman and a 34-year-old woman … I know a lot of people who use dating apps. But my Gen Z son tells me his friends don’t use them. They just DM each other on social.
The average startup founder’s age is 42. But for the most successful tech companies — we’re talking the top 0.1% of revenue — the average age is a little different. Are the most successful tech companies founded by someone older or younger than 42? (Hey, you have 50-50 odds today!)
Amazon safety check: Go to your Amazon account and look under Your orders. You may see a link to a page called “Your Recalls and Product Safety Alerts.” Here, you’ll find details about recalls for products you’ve purchased and steps to get a refund or return those items. You’ll get an email, too.
This is getting out of hand: Ford Motor Company’s hands-free driving tech in its BlueCruise-equipped Mustang Mach-E SUVs is under investigation following two fatal crashes. Both incidents involved “nighttime lighting conditions.” Yup, more “hands-free” fatalities.
🚚 Highway concern: At least 20 self-driving 80,000-pound semitractor-trailers will soon cruise Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston. The trucks have advanced laser and radar sensors that can “see” farther than human eyes, and they’re never tired or distracted. If you spot one in the wild, I’d love to see a vid!
Fake USPS sites get as much traffic as the real deal: Scammers create perfect replicas, complete with realistic tracking pages. Manually type the official site’s URL, usps.com, into your browser. Don’t click on links in emails or messages about shipping updates, either; those could be fakes.
Where was the testing? Philips just settled a $1.1 billion lawsuit over faulty DreamStation CPAP machines because the internal foam can crumble, causing people to breathe in tiny particles in their sleep. With 561 deaths linked to these devices, they got off easy.
🌟 I did the math: My average rating for this newsletter is 4.88 out of 5 with over 240,000 positive reviews. (Thank you!) Share your unique referral link towards the bottom of this email with family and friends to win great prizes, including $1,000 in cash. Btw, if you want to sign up your HOA, social group, classroom or school, let me know, because there’s a better way than using your referral link.
Rising car thefts: With just a smartphone app or a $25 Bluetooth signal finder, clever criminals can scan your car for valuable tech. The signals from turned-on devices tell them which vehicles will deliver the biggest paydays. Keep your electronics with you, folks — or at least turn them off.
✈️ Mind your drone business: Michelle Reyes captured a video showing a “flying cylinder” whizzing by after she took off from LaGuardia Airport near New York City. UFO experts aren’t sure what it is, and some folks are saying it’s a bug. Looks like a drone to me. But having a drone that close to an aircraft is very scary.
