The passport stamp is history

🏝️ Paradise.ai: Here’s something to tell your friends that will make them say, “Wow, you’re so smart.” Tiny Anguilla (population 15,000) stumbled into a digital jackpot, owning the “.ai” domain every startup wants. In 2024 alone, those two letters brought in $39 million selling domain names to startups like Character.ai and Perplexity.ai. That’s nearly a quarter of the island’s government revenue. When in a gold rush, sell vowels.

🎓 Creepin’ 101: Students at the University of San Francisco got a safety alert after reports of a man using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to film women without consent. Who could have predicted that happening? He’s allegedly posting the clips on TikTok. Idiot. 

🪐 Make a wish (maybe duck): That bright streak lighting up the sky isn’t a shooting star, it’s a Starlink satellite crashing out of orbit. With 8,500 up there (and more on the way), we can expect up to five fiery reentries daily soon. The FAA warns falling space junk could start injuring people by 2035. Heads up, literally.

💓 Wi‑Fi’s got a pulse on you: Your home Wi‑Fi might soon do more than stream Netflix. Soon, it will track your location and heartbeat. Researchers say new tech turns routers into 24/7 motion and vital sign monitors, no cameras needed. That buffering circle? It’s watching you breathe.

Musk made me do it: Look, if “Elon Musk” messages you about a hot crypto deal, it’s fraud not fate. Scammers are out there pretending to be him, using fake videos, livestreams and even his mom to vouch for the hustle. Folks have lost anywhere from 10 grand to a quarter million dollars. Some even think they’re dating him. Spoiler: You’re not.

⚠️ Pop goes the malware: You’re scrolling the web when, bam, a pop-up says you need to “verify your identity.” Nope. That’s not security, that’s a scam called ClickFix. The NSA says these fake pop-ups now target iPhones and Androids, tricking you into clicking, copying or pasting your way into malware. If you see one, just close everything. Save yourself the clicks and tears.

🪟 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.
