Of employees have been backstabbed at work. The main culprits? Gen Z and millennials, who are twice as likely to throw someone under the bus to climb the ladder. One in four workers say their boss has set them up to fail. Coworkers by day, betrayal speedrunners by lunch.

🚨 Use WhatsApp? Watch out. There’s a nasty bug going around that lets hackers send you what looks like a JPEG, but it’s actually malware. Click it, and boom: A hidden .exe file could run and infiltrate your system. Blame WhatsApp for misreading certain file types. The fix? Make sure you’re running a version higher than 2.2450.6 to be safe.
“Sell the rumor, buy the news” goes too far: This is crazy. A tiny finance account on X (with just 1,100 followers!) posted a fake claim that Trump was pausing tariffs. The market exploded with joy. CNBC ran with it, Reuters picked it up, and traders literally cheered on the NYSE floor. The account? Verified. The source? Sketchy. And the lesson? Maybe next time, before CNBC hits the banner button, they need to check who’s posting.
😩 Homeowner’s nightmare: Imagine random cars using your private driveway for years because of a Google Maps error. That’s what happened to Michael. GPS apps marked his property as a public road, and even warning signs didn’t stop people from tearing up his yard. His grass has seen more burnout than corporate America. He told the local news, and they reached out to Google, which finally got it updated.
✅ 50% off alert: My home security pick, SimpliSafe, is having a massive sale. I love their new Active Guard technology that alerts you before a break-in happens. You don’t need to live in fear or worry about burglars when you’re not home. Get all the gear to lock down your home for half off.
💻 Microsoft released a mini PC: It’s small. It’s boxy. It streams Windows 11 from the cloud like it’s Netflix, so you can work from anywhere. But heads-up, it’s not for everyone. The “Link” is made for businesses. Priced at $349.99, you’ll need to go through Microsoft or a reseller to get one.
🤖 Answer this: Does your work need to hire a human, or can AI handle the job? Shopify’s CEO, Tobi Lütke, just made it clear to his team to think about that before asking for more help. He sees AI as a basic skill and even added AI questions to performance reviews. More companies will do this soon. That’s why I always say to stay tech-ahead.
Every fingerprint is unique? Maybe not. Researchers trained an AI to analyze fingerprint shapes, curves and angles. Turns out, prints from different fingers on the same person can actually look super similar. It needs more testing, but think about what this could mean for solving cold cases or even freeing the wrongfully convicted.
📺 Better Call Saul moment: Russell Kort is basically a real-life Chuck McGill. He claims to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity, which causes headaches, brain fog and blackouts around Wi-Fi. Is it real? Well, it’s not an official medical diagnosis. But it’s kinda strange that there’s barely any research on it. Rumor has it this man would physically explode in a Starbucks.
📍 T-Mobile messed up big-time: The company sells a GPS tracker so parents can see their young kids’ locations if they don’t have a phone yet. But last week, a software glitch showed users the live locations, names and photos of random children instead (paywall link)! Somewhere, a lawyer just whispered: “delicious.” It’s apparently been fixed, but seriously, that kind of info should never be leaked.
🛰️ Mark your calendars: Amazon’s finally launching its first internet satellites tomorrow, April 9 at 12 p.m. ET. It’s their shot at taking on SpaceX’s Starlink and bringing high-speed internet to the whole planet. Sure, Starlink already has thousands of satellites up there, but Amazon’s betting it can win you over by cranking out cheaper terminals. Fingers crossed the satellite doesn’t come with “some assembly required.”
