Rural internet sucks: That’s why states like Louisiana and Nevada are spending millions on satellites instead (paywall link). Fiber is pricey and takes forever to build, so you can bet Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are smiling ear to ear. The catch? Slower speeds and more outages. But hey, it’s better than nothing.

Hackers just hit a massive jackpot: 184 million accounts across Apple, Google and Microsoft were exposed in a sweeping data breach. I’m talking email addresses, usernames, passwords, device info (the whole buffet), now up for grabs on the dark web.
The average household coughs up nearly $70 a month on streaming subscriptions, and that’s before your internet tab. But let me tell you, I spend a lot more than that. It’s closer to $125.
Add it all together, and congratulations, you’re back in 2011 with your overpriced cable bundle, except this time, there’s no DVR to save you.
That’s how many times people visited Zillow in just three months. Why? Because daydreaming is cheaper than buying. Only 4 million homes were actually sold last year, but that didn’t stop everyone and their mom from house-hunting from the couch. Zillow’s not just a listing site; it’s the new social media, where “cozy” means claustrophobic and “as-is” means “run.” When it comes to board games about buying real estate, Hasbro really has the Monopoly.

Apple quietly issued a warning that could seriously affect your health. Before you say, “I’m good, I use Android,” pump the brakes.
If you’re one of the nearly 4 million Americans with a pacemaker or defibrillator (or you deeply love one of them), this isn’t just a scare headline. It’s a legit, science-backed heads-up.
That’s how much fraud Apple says it’s blocked since 2019. The App Store stopped more than $9 billion in shady transactions over five years, with over $2 billion just last year. Add in nearly 2 million rejected apps and 711 fake customer accounts, Apple’s basically going full “you shall not pass” mode.
⚡️ 3-second tech genius: In Facebook Messenger, type @everyone to notify everyone in the chat. It’s great for urgent messages.
📺 Streams constantly buffering? Even if your Wi-Fi is stable, your internet speed might be the issue. Run a test and check your download rate. 4K videos on YouTube or Netflix need about 25 Mbps to play smoothly. Got a family with multiple devices on the same network? Time to upgrade to at least 100 Mbps.
That’s how long it’s been since we got a brand-new antibiotic that works this differently. Meet zosurabalpin: not just a mouthful, but a microscopic wrecking ball. It blocks the bacterial equivalent of armor construction, leaving the bad bugs bare and vulnerable.
Lower risk of cognitive decline for older folks who use tech like smartphones and computers. A study says learning new tools and staying connected online can actually help keep your brain sharp. So much for “digital dementia.” Just maybe don’t spend six hours a day on TikTok.
