Lifesaving tech: The 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan will call your phone if it thinks you left kids in the car. A 60 GHz radar scanner monitors the second and third rows. If the doors lock and it detects someone inside, the hazard lights will start flashing and the horn will sound. If you ignore it, you’ll get a text and a phone call.
How often the National Security Agency says you should reboot your phone. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it works to combat zero-click exploits. Zero-click flaws mean a hacker can get in simply by sending you the right code. Avoiding that is def worth a weekly restart.
Into an old cruise ship purchased on Craigslist. A tech entrepreneur spent 15 years restoring the 293-foot vessel. It was built in Germany in 1955, inspired “The Love Boat” and was in the 1963 Bond movie “From Russia with Love.” After they decided to sell the slice of history, it mysteriously took on water and was decommissioned. Weird, right?
Wishes TikTok didn’t exist. Half think the same about X (yeah, I still think of it as Twitter). The average time per day spent on social media? Four hours. You can’t convince me it’s anything other than addiction.
New world record for how far a Wi-Fi signal can reach. The testing happened in Joshua Tree National Park, which is ideal, given how little interference there is. I know what you’re thinking: “I can’t get decent Wi-Fi in my house!”
From food packaging have been found in the human body. Researchers found about 25% of the roughly 14,000 chemicals used in packaging in blood, hair or breast milk samples. This is your friendly reminder to stop microwaving plastic.
Want to be an influencer. Sounds like a dream, but the reality isn’t so pretty. Most influencers barely make enough to scrape by, and even the ones making bank work like crazy.
Experience cognitive decline by age 70. Good news: Eating more eggs could help fight that. Choline, found in egg yolks, is linked to healthy cognition. Talk to your doc before making any major dietary changes. Why should you be careful what you say around egg whites? They can’t take a yolk.
Felt across the earth, explained a year later. A glacier in Greenland melted, sending 33 million cubic yards of rock and ice (enough to fill 10,000 Olympic swimming pools!) into the water. That triggered a massive tsunami.
