đ¸ Thereâs not an app for that: If youâre one of the 150 million who rely on Zelle, listen up. Their stand-alone app is gone and wonât process your payments. Head over to your bankâs app, and youâll usually find Zelle under the payments tab. If youâre part of the 2% who actually have the Zelle app ⌠congrats, you now have a historical artifact.
Gmailâs getting more secure: Googleâs making it way easier for businesses to send encrypted emails. Before, you had to deal with something called S/MIME, which was a pain to set up. Now? Just turn on the Additional encryption option when drafting an email. FYI: It only works within your company, so yes, your boss can finally encrypt that calendar invite youâll ignore.
ChatGPT can make fake receipts: Yes, like real store or restaurant receipts. From scratch, the math might be off, but if you ask it to recreate an existing one first and tweak the prices of items, it works. What does OpenAI say? Theyâre not worried, since every image includes a âC2PA metadataâ tag showing it was made by AI. Like thatâs hard to remove.
đą A coworker poisoned her drink: Imagine feeling sick every time you sip something at your desk. Thatâs what happened to a woman in Wisconsin. She noticed a strong chemical smell and suspected someone was messing with her drinks, so she set up a hidden camera. Sure enough, she caught a dude at work spiking them with super glue! HR really needs a new category between âverbal warningâ and âcall the cops over an attempted poisoning.â

Watch Netflix on your TV? Youâre now getting access to way more languages for subtitles and dubbing. The TV version used to offer just five to seven options, but itâs been upgraded to show the full list â just like on your phone or browser. So yes, you can finally watch Bridgerton with Spanish dubbing and Korean subtitles if thatâs your thing.
đŚ The flying chain saws are back: Amazonâs drone deliveries have officially resumed in College Station, Texas, and Tolleson, Arizona, after a two-month break. Why? Dust. Yep, good old-fashioned dust was messing with the dronesâ altitude sensors. There werenât any incidents, but Amazon hit pause to be safe and fixed it with a software update.
đ Want to go viral in 2025? Talk about tariffs. With President Trump making it a hot topic, regular folks want to know how itâll affect their jobs and everyday prices. Just ask comedian Walter Masterson (paywall link). He posted a debate about who really pays tariffs on beans and corn (Spoiler: not foreign governments), and it became his biggest hit with millions of views.
