A SWAT team stormed my house

Feb. 16 started like any typical Friday night. My husband and I decided to stay home, grill chicken and make a salad for dinner. At about 6:45 p.m., we heard some loud rumbling overhead.

We walked onto the back patio and two police helicopters were overhead — shining lights all over our property, and a recording echoed, “Police. You are under arrest. Stay right there and I won’t shoot you.”

Cut down on your kids’ screen time

Studies show too much screen time can hurt a child’s development. It’s good to know you can take control of the situation and limit the time your kiddos spend staring at their phones.

Set up Family Link on Android:

Open the Family Link app and select your child.
Tap Controls at the bottom center, then Set up under Downtime to select the hours and minutes for the limit.

Or try Screen Time on iOS:

Open Settings and tap Screen Time.
Scroll and choose your child’s name under Family.
Tap Turn on Screen Time > Continue.
Set up Downtime, App Limits, and Content & Privacy with the limitations you want for your child.
Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm.
Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.

My advice: Everything in moderation. I’ve known kids who grew up with totally locked-down tech, and later in life, they’re glued to their phones. Be a good role model, too. Yes, you scrolling at the dinner table.

✍️ Scribble away: Google Docs for Android now lets you use your fingers or a stylus to draw, highlight and circle directly on documents. But hey, I’m still waiting on that handwriting-to-text feature, Google.

Pay-per-prescription: Hitting up your doctor for a sick note or refill? Prepare to pony up. Once-free admin tasks could soon carry a price tag. Blame pandemic burnout and the telehealth boom for turning your doc’s inbox into a no-freebie zone.

Doritos courtesy of Big Brother: The University of Waterloo ditched its high-tech vending machines after a student caught them using facial-recognition technology. Adaria Vending Services and Invenda Group claimed they were just fancy motion sensors, not spy cams. Uh-huh.

🐕 Speaking of dogs: Nearly a year after being lost in a Colorado avalanche, Jacob Dalbey’s dog, Ullr, was spotted alive and well on a trail cam. The search, fueled by $38,000 in GoFundMe donations, is drawing them closer to a reunion.
