This will keep your hotel room ice cold

🐟 Ding-dong, it’s fishy: This is cool. You can help fish migrate through canals in the Netherlands. If you spot one on this underwater camera, press the “fish doorbell” to let them swim safely through the key lock. Last year, about 9.3 million people visited the site and rang the bell over 40,000 times. Let minnow if you see a fish. I haven’t. 

To live on cruise ships full-time. A couple in their 50s sold their home in 2022 to explore the world. So far, they’ve been on 29 cruises (paywall link). Budgeting tip from the pros: They book six months in advance for the best prices. Maybe it’s time for you to get ship faced and a little nauti. 🛳️

Know a consultant? Give them a hug. The days of paying someone for data analysis, document summaries and reports are dead. AI can do all that, much cheaper.

📷 Not just for tracking steps: The Apple Watch looks like it will get a camera to “see” the world using AI-enabled visual intelligence (paywall link). That means you could scan a flyer to add an event to your calendar or look up a restaurant on the spot. ETA? 2027.

Sometimes life is eye-ronic: Google’s AI assistant Gemini can now “see” and use your camera in real time. Point it at your dying houseplant for tips on how to save it, or ask what is the water dripping from your car’s engine. (I did that, and it was 100% right!) It costs $20/month to use it. ChatGPT does the same for $20/month, too.

Remember Ruby Franke? She’s an evil mommy vlogger who went to prison last year for abusing and starving her kids. New laws are in the works to stop parents from using their kids for clicks. If a parent makes over $150K a year from family content, they must put some money into a trust (paywall link). Once kids hit 18, they can ask for old videos to be taken down. About time.

All it takes is a few hundred bucks: Sites like China’s Temu sell cheap drone accessories that can turn them into DIY weapons. We’re talking AI-guided cameras that recognize people and vehicles, and cargo holders that can carry explosives. Seriously frightening.
