Speeds hit by China’s BYD U9, claiming EV hypercar supremacy. So it turns out Yangwang’s engineering marvel U9 casually obliterated the speed charts. It didn’t just nudge the status quo; it demolished it. Anyone up for some electric NASCAR?

Heads up: Google just confirmed that hackers got into some Google Workspace accounts. How? They used stolen OAuth tokens from Drift integrations – yep, those handy tools that connect your inbox to other apps. If you use Drift with Google Workspace, now’s the time to revoke those tokens and change your passwords. If none of this made any sense at all to you, move on.

💸 Crypto. Con. Gone. A brother and sister in Ohio lost over $1 million to a crypto scam after getting sucked in on Telegram by a fake “investment coach” named Shaw Goddess (you can’t make this up). They wired money into what looked like a legit trading platform until they tried to cash out and, poof, nothing. The FBI managed to recover about $325K by tracing the crypto and freezing it, but the rest? Dust in the blockchain wind.

After eight years of nonstop construction, frustrated neighbors got a peace offering. He actually gave them noise-canceling headphones. Because nothing says “sorry for ruining your street” like a $300 pair of earbuds. Oh, also donuts.

📱 Check your Android apps: Google doesn’t care or else they would do something about this continuing problem. They just pulled 77 malicious apps with 19 million installs (!!!) from the Play Store. They were serving up an unholy trinity of spyware, malware and trojans that can steal your texts, passwords and drain your bank account. Most were disguised as “tools” or “photo apps” with names like “Document Reader – File Manager.” Check your phone, like, now.
