That’s the battery level where most Americans start to panic and scramble for a charger. Funny thing? The iPhone battery doesn’t even turn red until 20%. So yes, you can calm down, your phone isn’t flatlining. Your screen dimmed itself out of self-care. Pro tip: To keep your battery healthy, charge when it hits around 20% and stop at 90%. This will help reduce wear and slow down premature aging.

I don’t know about you, but when Friday hits, the last thing I want to do is scroll for an hour trying to find something to watch. Usually, I give up and rewatch The Office for the 10th time.

Not this weekend. I made you a watch list, meticulously crafted between dopamine crashes, for the entertainment-decision-deficient among us. You’re welcome.

Meet the robobear ready to roar

Wyoming’s Game and Fish Department built a fake bear on a remote-controlled platform that charges at you going 35 mph. Truly the Teslabear nobody wanted. The test? See if you can whip out bear spray in time. Spoiler alert: Most people would be toast. Your best bet is to keep that spray holstered, and never in your backpack.

🚓 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes: Devon Bart thought he could outsmart the cops. The 25-year-old was wanted for assault, but instead of hiding, he took to TikTok. He allegedly posted photos daring law enforcement to find him. He’s now in jail after sheriff deputies in Tennessee arrested him. Ouch. Next up on TikTok: “How I accidentally sped up a felony charge with a thirst trap.”

🤯 Not tech, but super interesting: Researchers found 22,000-year-old vehicle tracks at White Sands National Park. Yes, you read that right, 22,000 years ago. They believe it’s from a travois — a sled made with long sticks and a basket. That’s huge, since we thought transport tools only dated back to 4,000 BC.

All it takes is one forged signature. Cybercriminals can snatch your home title, rack up loans in your name and leave you drowning in debt. Scary stuff.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Teens on Facebook? Meta’s on it: From the “What took you so long?” department. New teen accounts come with parental controls baked in, no setup fuss. Meta says you’ll get eyes on screen time, friends lists and they can’t message strangers or tweak privacy settings without your say-so. Yea, right. Just like when we didn’t use fake IDs.

🎬 Veo 2 just got a director’s cut: Google’s AI video tool now lets you shoot drone-style, erase logos and distractions like magic and even zoom out to create more scene than you filmed. Hollywood, meet Hal 9000. Simply amazing.

🏠 Gotta be smarter than the scammers: A Michigan woman lost $2,500 after falling for a phony Facebook Marketplace listing. It had a tour video, she paid the security deposit, got the keys … and then showed up to a place that wasn’t even for rent. PSA: Do a reverse image search, verify the address on Google Maps and never pay with Zelle, Venmo or gift cards.

🐎 Kawasaki’s making a robot horse: Yes, seriously. It’s called “Corleo,” and one day you might actually be able to ride it through snow, over rocky cliffs and more. Thanks to goat-like feet and AI. Yeehaw meets Skynet, what could go wrong? Watch the action here.
