Don’t use that tone with me: HP owners are pissed. A recent firmware update bricked HP’s LaserJet M232-M237 even with official HP toner installed. One small-business owner wasted $60 on new cartridges that didn’t work. HP is working on another better update to fix the last disaster of an update. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

It’s not just clingy exes popping into your messages out of the blue. Scammers are ramping up phony texts across the country. You can make the texts stop (more below). Here are the latest ones making the rounds and the red flags to watch for:
We’ve all had those texts we want to delete — from bad jokes and typos, to (gulp) sending something sensitive to the wrong contact. Can you really ever remove a text from your life? Is a deleted text really deleted for good? It’s complicated.
How much TikTok star Khaby Lame rakes in per branded post. The twist? He doesn’t say a word. All he does is silently react to so-called “life hacks” with shrugs and funny facial expressions. It’s things like this that make me wonder if I picked the wrong career path.
You’ve probably seen the headlines: “AI is coming for all our jobs.” But instead of you panicking, I did the hard work for you. I tracked down the 290-page Future of Jobs Report 2025 from the World Economic Forum and actually read it.
How many orders Edgar’s Bakery gets each year for its famous three-layer strawberry cake. Social media swears it’s the best cake in the world. The catch? You can actually make it yourself. Here’s the recipe. It doesn’t look that tough. (Jan, I hope you’re paying attention ’cause that lemon cake was awesome!) Speaking of … What do you call a sad strawberry? A blueberry. So good!
Mentions of AI in corporate earnings calls last year. The hot topic: “digital labor.” Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff believes today’s leaders will be the last to manage a human-only workforce. It’s no wonder 72% of Americans view AI negatively and almost a third fear fewer jobs. No turning back now.
That’s where job openings for software engineers on Indeed have dropped. Why? AI. Companies are automating more tasks, and the same tech that makes coders more productive is also undercutting hiring demand. If this is you, time to get new skills.
The common myth about when running shoes need replacing. Try this instead: Grab the heel with one hand, the toe with the other and twist. If the midsole doesn’t bend and still feels stiff, your shoes are probably good to go (paywall link). What did the sneaker say when it sneezed? A shoe! (Good one!)
Vehicle tracks were found in the U.S., and they might belong to a travois. That’s a sled-like frame pulled by a person or horse. If that’s the case, humans were wandering America 7,000 years earlier than we thought. Mind blown.
Diabetics on Ozempic, Mounjaro or a similar GLP-1 medication are four times more likely to go blind from NAION. This condition cuts off blood flow to the optic nerve. Using one of these drugs for weight loss? That risk jumps to seven times more likely. No one’s talking about this. Share this with anyone you know taking this medication.
