👓 Eyes on the road: Amazon’s new smart glasses guide drivers turn-by-turn, scan packages and even snap delivery pics, all hands-free. Amazon swears it’s about safety, but the internet says it’s step one of “training the bots.” Either way, your driver’s basically half-cyborg now, and a database somewhere has front-row seats to your dog barking through a window.

Speaking of glasses, lights out, creep on: A hobbyist named Bong Kim (no, it’s def not me on 4/20) is charging folks $60 to disable the tiny LED on Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. Yeah, the one that lights up when you’re recording. Meta built it to stop creeps from filming in secret. Kim’s mod kills that warning completely, so the specs can still record with no light. I’m telling you, these glasses are a creeper’s dream come true.

🪟 SID happens: Install the updates KB5064081 or KB5065426, and boom, Windows might forget who you are. Microsoft says the bug hits Windows 11 and Server 2025 systems cloned with duplicate SIDs, and only a full rebuild fixes it. Network shares, remote desktop, even file access are all toast. The fix? Start over. Fun times.

🌡️ Nest goes dumb tomorrow: If you’ve got a 1st or 2nd gen Nest Learning Thermostat, it’s going to lose its smarts. That means no more app control, Home/Away Assist or remote tweaks, only good old manual buttons. Basically, it’s a fancy dial. Upgrade now, there are some pretty solid deals out there. My favorite is this little guy.

Modern family: Who do you text first when life happens? It’s a group chat. Giphy found almost 80% of Gen Z spill big news there first. Jobs, breakups, messy updates, all of it. Over half say their chat knows them better than their own family. Basically, it’s the new living room but with emojis and memes.

🥰 AI saved her breast: Get this, Brooke Davis, a 40-year-old mom from Cedar Rapids, avoided a mastectomy thanks to an AI tool called TumorSight Viz. It builds a 3D model of breast MRIs, so surgeons can remove only the cancer, not the whole breast. Her doctor used it to plan a lumpectomy. Now she’s cancer-free and “completely normal me.” Amazing.

Louvre’s $20M “open window” moment: In case you missed it, thieves broke into Paris’ Louvre on Sunday and swiped eight high-value jewels. You might be disappointed if you were thinking of an Ocean’s 11 heist. Police say the crooks climbed temporary scaffolding as a free ladder to the loot and slipped in through a side façade window that, unbelievably, wasn’t covered by CCTV.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: On Instagram, spread two fingers outward to zoom in on photos or videos. I use it for reading small text. Just don’t double-tap and accidentally like something if you’re snooping.

Your email’s probably in there: Uh-oh. News of 183 million new stolen logins has hit the digital grapevine, making it a total 15.3 billion accounts. The leaks came from “infostealer” malware, which is fancy talk for hackers rifling through your digital junk drawer. Plug your email into this site. You might not like the results, but at least you’ll know. If it does show up: Change the password everywhere, enable multifactor authentication, use a password manager and go on high-alert for phishing emails. If your info’s floating around after a breach, Incogni can help you get it removed, and you can grab 60% off right now.

📸 Big Brother’s photo dump: Oh boy. Facebook’s testing a feature that scans your phone’s entire camera roll, yes, even the photos you never posted, to “find hidden gems.” It uploads your unposted shots to Meta’s cloud, and if you edit or share them, Meta can train its AI on your pics. The company swears it’s opt-in. You go first.

Cloud chaos? No thanks. If you need speed, power and zero mystery charges, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure delivers. It’s built for serious performance without the “gotcha” billing or tech drama.

📺 Maxed out your Max: Don’t shoot the messenger, but HBO Max costs more. Again. It’s now $10.99 for ads, $18.49 standard and $22.99 premium. That’s up $1 to $2 a month for new subscribers. Everyone else gets hit next billing cycle. At this point, HBO stands for “Hold Bank Open.”

Eau de octane: Bought an electric car and missing that good old gas station musk? Kia’s new EV4 comes with a free air freshener that smells like “motor oil with a hint of gasoline.” It’s like going vegan but still hanging around barbecue joints for the vibes. Wait, this one is better. Nothing says “clean energy future” like the scent of a Jiffy Lube waiting room. (lol)

📸 “I let him in”: TikTokers are making fake “AI homeless man” pranks, photos of random strangers edited into their homes, then sent to partners or parents for shock value. One viral post hit 5.5M likes before police nationwide started warning: It’s not funny, it’s dangerous. The pranked are calling the cops in a panic, wasting everyone’s time.

🤖 Prime and punishment: It’s happening. Amazon is assembling a team, and by team, I mean a robot army. Leaked docs say Amazon’s trying to automate 75% of operations by 2033, which would save them $12.6 billion and skip 600,000 human hires. They’re even rebranding robots as “cobots” to avoid the A-word (automation) and soften the blow.

🔑 Bet you never tried this! So a Montana woman’s car key stopped working, battery fine, dealership stumped. She asked ChatGPT, which told her to hold the fob under her chin. Yes, really. She did, and her truck unlocked instantly. Turns out your body’s 60% water, and radio waves love that. Congratulations, you’re part car antenna.
