đ Digital suck-up: OpenAI just rolled back a ChatGPT update because it was agreeing with everything you said, no matter how wrong. It was so flattering, folks started calling it âsycophant-y.â Have you ever used that word in your life? Me neither.

Itâs Friday, and Iâm feeling a little nostalgic. Letâs take a fun walk down memory lane back when our gadgets were clunky, slow and somehow magical.
Remember when flipping your phone shut made you feel like a movie star? Or hearing the sound of a modem? Good times. Take a look at this list and see if there are any you miss.
Let me tell you a true story thatâll shake you and hopefully protect someone you love from heartbreak or a well-rehearsed scam call.
It happened to a 90-year-old grandmother in Nashville. She picked up the phone because thatâs what sheâs always done. On the other end was a young woman, her voice trembling, the connection staticky. âGrandma, help! I was in a car accident. I need you to talk to a lawyer right now.â
A new animated series âTales of the Underworldâ is premiering in Fortnite. Yes, like inside the actual video game. It airs tomorrow, May 2 at 10 AM ET, two days before Disney+ gets it. Of course, thereâs in-game merch for kids to buy. The trailer doesnât look too bad.
Thatâs the price for the dish and router when you sign up for a new 12-month Starlink plan. Youâll save $349, the monthly service fee stays the same, and youâll have 30 days to return it for a refund. The catch? If you then cancel or change your service address, youâll have to pay a prorated cost for the hardware.
If you sit still for that long every day, youâre basically asking for neck pain. The main culprit is your phone (paywall link). Why? You hunch your neck and slouch your shoulders. Over time, that throws off the muscle balance in your neck and upper back, leading to major aches and musculoskeletal issues. So yeah, remember to move around.
How much IBM plans to invest in the U.S. over the next five years. Some of the moneyâs going into research and development for their mainframes and quantum computers (paywall link). Not bad for a company thatâs been around for 114 years.
Thatâs how much a guy has made renting out his yard. His secret? An app called Neighbor, which connects people who need parking or storage with folks who have extra space. He has about 21 spots for things like RVs, boats and buses, renting for anywhere between $90 and $200 a month. BRB, measuring my driveway.
Thatâs how fast a 22-year-old YouTuber was clocked on a highway. The helmet-cam footage of him speeding on a Connecticut highway at nearly 3x the speed limit went viral but also got him arrested for reckless driving. Heâs since been released on a $5K bond, and grounded by the internet.
Thatâs how many parts are inside an iPhone, sourced from 28 countries. Less than 5% are made in the U.S., and most of the rest come from Asia. Only 30 out of 187 suppliers have no presence in China. âDesigned in Californiaâ is different when the screws are from four continents.
How long Kanye West lasted before getting banned on Twitch for doing a Nazi salute and antisemitic remarks. He didnât even crack 220 followers before face-planting into a permanent ban, possibly a new world record.
