When I have a question now, whether it’s finding a recipe or doing math, I’m using AI a lot more than doing a good ol’ Google Search. My go-to is ChatGPT, but Perplexity is useful, too. I often ask both AI bots the same question as a way to double-check things. Google Gemini is a big “meh” to me so far.
This peeping Tom was caught not just looking up her dress, but filming it, too. Three cheers for the other lady who spotted this creep.
Stolen email addresses found in the Have I Been Pwned database. Type in yours to find out if you were part of any recent data breaches. If so, it’s time for a password change — and stay on high alert for scams.
Roku was hacked over the weekend. To keep yourself protected, I suggest changing your password ASAP!
After the Big Bang. That’s when a galaxy just spotted by NASA’s Webb telescope was formed. It’s way, way older than the Milky Way, where we call home. Pics and more details here, space nerds.
Spotify’s new price after another $1 increase. The Premium Family plan went from $16.99 to $19.99. If you have a student in the fam, you can score a $5.99 monthly rate that includes Hulu with ads. You’re welcome.
The average projected concert ticket price this summer compared to the summer of 2023. More major acts are canceling their tours as the post-pandemic live music boom cools down. Still, ticket-seller Live Nation hit $3.8 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2024. Bet they say a prayer for Taylor Swift every day.
Say “please” when asking for something. And half the time we use it, science says we want to guilt the other person into doing something. Kids say please about 10% of the time. Reminds me of the time Ian’s middle school art teacher told me, “Ian says ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ too much.” Yeah, I schooled her on that. I worked hard to be sure he was a gentleman, and he is to this day.
Do me a favor and send unknown callers to voicemail. If it’s someone who really needs you, they’ll leave a message or call back.
