💵 Wads up? Want to pay with cash? You might be directed to a “reverse ATM.” They put your cash on a debit card so you can pay at card-only businesses. It’ll cost you; a man at the newly cashless Yankee Stadium had to pay an extra $3.50 just to buy popcorn, and he was not glovin’ it.
Kitboga joined The Kim Komando Show to talk all things “scambaiter.” He shared lots, including the longest time he has spent with a scammer. Find out on the full podcast here.
Oral-B’s iO Series 10 is the latest in the “AI-fication” of everything. Its sensors claim to “personalize” your brushing experience. Don’t bother. They stopped supporting their over-$200 Alexa-enabled toothbrush less than four years after launch.
Mission impossible: Scientists invented an ultra-thin battery for smart contact lenses that could support facial recognition and eye tracking one day. Here’s the kicker: You charge them with your tears! They’re powered by a saline solution instead of flammable lithium-ion batteries. Insanely cool.
How soon a new test can predict dementia. The test scans brain connections while you’re at rest to predict dementia up to nine years before diagnosis with 80% accuracy. This could be huge, both for early treatment and prevention.
👜 This season’s hottest bag? A $3.99 Trader Joe’s insulated tote that folks are reselling for up to $100. Since launching on June 4, it’s completely sold out in stores across California. Ah, the classic “limited-time” in-store exclusive strikes again. Social media can hype up anything, including this lunchbox.
Adobe’s new ToS: When you agree to Photoshop’s new terms of service, you’re letting Adobe look at your ongoing projects for “content moderation” and more. Got projects under NDA? Tough luck. I bet they’re covering their butts so they, too, can train their AI with your designs.
🎨 Tell every artist you know: Digital creators are ditching Instagram for good reason. Meta now views public posts as part of its AI training data, and you can’t opt out. One alternative? Cara. It’s just like Insta, but it bans AI posts and training. Try it on iOS or Android.
Need a new phone? Samsung accidentally leaked an ad for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. So, what’s new? Sharper edges on the Fold 6 and a vertically stacked triple camera. The Z Flip 6 looks pretty much the same, but rumor has it the battery life is a lot better. They’re both scheduled to launch next month.
If I could turn back time: Graphics card and chipmaker NVIDIA just overtook Apple as the world’s second most valuable company. The AI boom has companies gobbling up NVIDIA’s chips at record rates. Bet you wish you’d bought stock in them at $4 a decade ago. Today, it’s about $1,200 a share. Hey, I didn’t buy it either.
