MrBeast and his crew will spend a little over four days in Egypt’s Great Pyramids. They rented them out. The Egyptian government will guide them through the tombs, share their history, allow them to sleep inside them … and get in some ghost hunting. What’s the difference between an ancient Egyptian prince and a Jenner? The Egyptian prince knew from the start his daddy would become a mummy.
👼 Welcome to the world, little one: The first baby conceived via Fertilo was just born in Lima, Peru. This is different from IVF. Doctors use stem cell tech to help eggs mature before they’re implanted in the mom’s womb. There are 80% fewer shots, and it takes two to three days instead of two to three weeks.
Travel gram: Meet 94-year-old Joy Ryan. She’s on a journey to visit every continent with her grandson, and she didn’t even get her passport until she was 91. She’s the oldest person to visit all 63 U.S. national parks, too. I hope she got the senior discount! Follow her journey on Instagram. It’s amazing!
18 times better than Wi-Fi: Z-Wave’s long-range tech extends the maximum wireless range to 1.5 miles — way better than Wi-Fi (up to 300 feet) or Bluetooth (only 30 feet). It supports 4,000 devices on one network, so it’s perfect for offices, too. It’ll be out next year.
Hit the right notes: Now you can chat with Google’s NotebookLM AI podcast host-sounding bots. Feed in your notes and they’ll answer questions based on what you wrote. It’s still in beta, so double-check to make sure it doesn’t mess up any facts. Barb in Chicago wrote, “Kim, thanks for telling me about NotebookLM. I am using it to teach my customers about how to use the hair products I sell.” You’re welcome.
No way to Excel, I Azure you: Push notifications to buy “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” are popping up on Windows 11 PCs. They’re upselling Microsoft Defender security software, too. It’s free … but now requires a Microsoft 365 subscription for all the features. What a crock. Here’s how to disable the ads.
🦍 Tag, you’re it: If you’ve got kids obsessed with the Meta VR game “Gorilla Tag,” talk to them. There are videos all over the internet telling them to install the free VPN app Big Mama to cheat. It’s just a front for selling access to your home internet and network. Need a VPN you can trust? Here’s my pick.
History teachers are in the past: An online charter school in Arizona is ditching human teachers. Kids get two hours of academic instruction daily taught entirely by AI. The rest of the day is dedicated to life skills workshops covering subjects like financial literacy, goal setting and entrepreneurship led by “guides.” Bet they make even less than teachers.
The future is expensive: LG just dropped its brand-new transparent OLED TV. The price tag? A whopping $60,000. The small but see-through 55-inch screen looks pretty cool, and there’s an opaque mode when the novelty wears off. Check out this video to see it in action. Santa, I’d like this for Christmas.
Maybe they really are UFOs: An Air Force vet posted a bunch of videos of a glowing orb flying over his house in New Jersey. The orb darted around for about 30 minutes in broad daylight. He used to work on airplanes, knows a ton about drones and says he’s never seen anything like it. Have you? See the videos for yourself.
Google Street View helped crack a murder case: A Google car grabbed snapshots of a man taking a suspiciously human-shaped bag out of his car and moving it in a wheelbarrow. And that’s not even the wildest part: It was the first time in 15 years a Google car had driven through the town.
