AI’s guess at whether you’re a man or woman based on brain scans. Research has always been iffy on whether men and women have truly different brains. This is an interesting wrinkle.

When Jeff Bezos was CEO, customers would email him complaints. He would forward those complaints to department heads with just one character. What was that one character?
The answer: Jeff Bezos would forward customer complaints to the appropriate department head with just one character: A question mark. No note, like, “Hello, I hope you’re well. Would you please look into this situation and let me know what’s going on?” Ever since I learned this, I have done the same thing. Too bad Jeff Bezos retired when he was in his prime. (Ba-dum-tss!)
You know by now your phone’s battery performance degrades the older it gets. That’s just how lithium-ion batteries work, unfortunately. With each charging cycle, they wear down a bit. Eventually, it becomes too big a problem to ignore.
Look, Elon! No hands: Neuralink’s first human experiment is a success. A brave soul who had the brain chip implanted can now use just thoughts to scroll and click a computer mouse. Crazy stuff — and just the beginning for this tech.
You know your phone’s battery performance degrades the older it gets. That’s just how lithium-ion batteries work, unfortunately. With each charging cycle, they wear down a bit. Eventually, it becomes too big a problem to ignore and it’s time to replace it.
Apple makes it easy to check
At the top, you’ll see your battery’s maximum capacity. Don’t panic if it’s below 100%. It’s designed to maintain 80% of its original capacity by 500 charges, so that percentage will tick down over time.
Under Peak Performance Capability, you’ll see whether your battery is operating normally. If it’s seriously degraded, you’ll see a message here.
It’s a little trickier on an Android
Most manufacturers have different steps. Here are a few to try:
One down, millions to go: Give the FBI and its allies a high-five for taking down the world’s most notorious ransomware gang — one of LockBit’s dark websites. The big bosses in Russia, likely toasting with vodka over being untouchable, will be back. They always come back.
🚀 Live on “Mars”: NASA’s on the hunt for volunteers for a Mars simulation in Houston, kicking off in spring 2025. You’ll spend a year in a 3D-printed hut, doing space chores and farming, all in the name of science. Requirements: Be a U.S. citizen, age 30 to 55, with a STEM-related master’s degree and relevant experience. It’s a paid gig, but the salary’s a mystery.
AD⚡️HD highway to distraction: Middle-aged women are now the face of ADHD, thanks to social media and all-too-relatable celeb tales. But some “signs” are totally normal, like procrastinating or being a little messy. If you’re concerned you have ADHD, talk to a doctor you trust and skip the social media influencer diagnosis.
Can’t spell crypto without “cry”: The Apple App Store’s security just took a hit. Fake app Rabby Wallet & Crypto Solution duped customers into giving up private crypto keys, scamming them out of their money. One user lost $100,000! Always triple-check the app developer when money is involved.
