If your late-night Zillow scrolling has gotten more desperate lately, you’re not alone. Home prices are going bonkers. In the past decade, home values shot up 47.1%, beating out the 2010s and 1990s. U.S. home prices are expected to rise another 1.6% over the next year alone. And I found a few markets that are growing nearly five times faster than that.
Let’s jump in with some Android operating system trivia. It wasn’t designed for smartphones at the beginning. Did they develop it for … A.) Digital cameras, B.) Smartwatches, C.) Gaming consoles or D.) Home automation systems?
Like Uber but with guns: BlackWolf’s rideshare drivers must have at least four years of police, military or private security experience. Why? For high-profile folks seeking extra protection. The service was shut down in Phoenix for operating without the necessary permits. You can still snag a BlackWolf ride for the price of an Uber Black in Atlanta, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
For skincare products is attributed to Gen Alpha. Yep, girls 14 and under already have “aging anxiety” (paywall link), thanks to TikTok. It’s not just bad for kids’ self-esteem; anti-aging products like retinol can actually damage young skin. Talk to your kids.
🫶 Don’t play heart to get: I make a “hand heart” sign by touching my thumbs and curving the rest of my fingers into a “C” shape. Gen Z says nope, that’s the old way. The new way? Touch your middle and index fingers together. Having trouble picturing? Here it is in action.

Seoul you wanna start a revolution: I thought this was super interesting. Korean activists are using 3D-printed smart balloons to send messages deep into North Korea. Each balloon costs up to $1,000 and can carry up to 16.5 pounds of cargo, like leaflets or mini speakers. The mission: Undermine dictator Kim Jong Un.
Where did the hacker go? He ransomware: Microsoft and Google are offering free or discounted cybersecurity to nearly 1,800 rural hospitals across the U.S. Why? Because, without IT resources and cybersecurity training, they’re sitting ducks for ransomware. These places are often the only health hubs for miles, so if they’re hit, real lives are at risk.
⚠️ Still using a Netgear WNR614 N300 router? It’s hit end-of-life status and won’t get any more security patches. It already has six scary vulnerabilities, including storing passwords in plain text. You’ll need a new one. Here’s an affordable option for medium-sized homes and a budget mesh system for larger homes.
