🪟 Smarter windows: Corning (yep, the iPhone glass folks) dropped new “Enlighten” windows that are essentially energy-saving machines. Normal windows leak heat 10 to 20 times worse than your walls. These new ones? Up to 5x more efficient. Ah yes, finally an energy-saving way to stare at the Amazon guy delivering your packages.
⚡️ 3-second tech genius: For the best viewing distance, take your TV’s size in inches and multiply by 1.2. So if your screen is 40 inches, you’ll want to sit about 48 inches (4 feet) back.

🚪 Trapped in a Cybertruck: Tesla’s being sued after a 19-year-old died when a Cybertruck hit a tree and caught fire last November in California. The family says the vehicle’s sleek electric doors locked passengers inside, leaving no way out. Only one of four survived. The lawsuit claims Krysta Tsukahara didn’t die on impact, she died trapped by Tesla’s design. How awful.
🥪 Where’s the beef? Arby’s gets roasted: Turns out those towering Arby’s sandwiches in ads may be Photoshop’s finest work. A lawsuit says they show twice the meat you really get and mislead folks into thinking the beef is rare. A judge just refused to dismiss the case, so Arby’s has to deal with its roast beef reality check in court.
🛞 Smart rubber: Pirelli and Bosch are cooking up “Cyber Tyres” that talk to your car through Bluetooth tiny sensors that measure contact patches, pressure and acceleration, then beam lifesaving data like grip loss before aquaplaning. These Fitbits for wheels were spotted on a $2.5M Pagani, but hitting normal cars in ~3 years. Imagine explaining to your great grandpa, “The tire’s Bluetooth says slow down.”
📸 Back to basics: Kodak is doing something it hasn’t done in over a decade … selling its own film. Like, actual 35mm. Remember those yellow rolls in every junk drawer? Same stuff. Kodak’s cutting out the middleman to bring prices down. It’s a quiet comeback from a brand that basically shot every ’80s birthday party you’ve ever been to.

🤖 Don’t get caught in a Roomba doomba: iRobot founder Rodney Brooks (aka the Roomba guy) says stay 10 feet back from humanoid bots. Why? If one tips, it’s a 150-pound steel giraffe doing a trust fall. Also, video-only training won’t teach them real dexterity. Don’t let yourself become a YouTube tutorial with bones.
🤖 These are my bot confessions: Police say Missouri State student Ryan Schaefer smashed 17 car windshields, then bragged about it to ChatGPT. His typo-filled chats (“qill I go to jail?”) were found on his phone. Spoiler: yes. Now he’s facing felony charges and thousands in damages. Reminder: AI isn’t your diary, it’s potential evidence.
❌ ICE app blocked: Both the Apple App Store and Google Play pulled ICEBlock, the app that flagged ICE agents nearby. DOJ said it endangered officers, especially after the Dallas shooter allegedly used the app before killing a detainee and injuring two. Whatever your views, when an app puts lives at risk, including those of law enforcement and civilians, it becomes a matter of public safety, not politics.
