$20K for a two-bedroom home

March 1, 2025

🏠 $20K for a two-bedroom home? This isn’t the 1960s. It’s a tiny home that comes folded in a box, complete with a porch, kitchen and bathroom. One model sold out on Amazon thanks to viral videos with over 20 million views. Read the reviews if you’re tempted to buy one.

Selling your car? Do this first

New cars are computers on wheels, tracking just as much about you as your phone does. Before you sell your car or return a lease, you need to take the time to wipe all that data.

AI’s secret language

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. One AI bot calls up another, and they chat back and forth in English. Once they realize they’re both AI, they switch to a secret-to-them language totally undecipherable to human ears. No punchline, because it’s not a joke. A viral video from an AI hackathon in London shows the exchange.

$4 million

Listing price for the “Breaking Bad” house. The 1,900-square-foot home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was Walter White’s in the show and worth closer to $400K. Even 12 years after the show ended, about 300 cars drive past every day to see it, and the owners can’t take it anymore.

Kim Komando

Yesterday I told you all about the Dark Web. Missed it? Part 1 is here. As expected, so many of you asked me, “Why the heck would you even go on the Dark Web?”

No, really! The fine folks at the Daily Mail asked if I’d do a Dark Web deep dive and report back. The reason is probably the same one you had for opening this email: It’s intriguing.

Mind over matter

It’s been a year since Noland Arbaugh became the first Neuralink patient. I chatted with him last year, and he’s so positive. The procedure was done in Phoenix. The team just shared a video of how the N1 Implant helps him control gadgets just by thinking.

1 billion people

Watching podcasts on YouTube. Their monthly numbers blow Spotify and every other streaming service in the podcast game out of the water. Yup, you can watch my show there!

2 years old

When 40% of kiddos have their own tablet. Nearly 1 in 4 have a cellphone by the time they turn 8. Average screen time? Too much at 2.5 hours a day.

$100 million

In sales for the first-ever AI real estate agent. The Portuguese company using it says a bot knows more about each of their 5,000 properties than a real human could — and is available 24/7. Speaking of … What does a house wear? Address. (I heard a groan!)

POV: You just got eaten by a shark

Divers off the coast of Freeport, Bahamas, were feeding tiger sharks when one took a huge bite out of a 360-degree camera. You can see the camera filming inside the shark’s mouth and capturing divers from its belly. Wild.
