A former police officer is using a heat-seeking drone to track down missing dogs. So far, he’s reunited 42 dogs with their families. Here’s an adorable clip of a pup lost in the snow. His little tail wags like crazy when he sees his owner. I’m so excited that I’m getting a new puppy. Meet Bella.

To become an NPC in Elder Scrolls 6 so far in the bidding. The game’s maker, Bethesda, is teaming up with Make-A-Wish in a silent auction to immortalize the winning bidder’s likeness as an NPC (non-playable character). Hurry, auction ends on Saturday at 6 p.m. EST.

Time it took AI to crack a 10-year-old mystery. Scientists spent a decade trying to figure out why “superbugs” resist antibiotics. Google’s new co-scientist bot took just a couple of days to spit out the correct answer. I hope they put it to work on cancer.

The longest undersea cable Meta wants to build. If you wrapped it around the equator, you’d have 6,000 miles left over. It’ll speed up the internet, but Meta’s main goal is boosting their AI capabilities.

Lawyers that have used AI in cases. Only around 12% use it regularly. Bots like ChatGPT can make up fake cases in court docs. One lawyer was fined $2,000 and had to take a class on how to use AI for law. 

Mummies smell woody, spicy and sweet. That’s what a team of human sniffers (yes, it’s a real job) say. Ancient Egyptians used special waxes and balms to keep their pharaohs and nobles smelling nice. BO in the afterlife was a sign of corruption. I heard they also liked wrap music.

Time after a distraction ends before drivers refocus. Researchers found glancing at your phone for five seconds really takes your attention off the road for 35. Next time you’re in a car with a younger driver, count to 35 and tell them this fact.

Price increase for Acer laptops next month. Why? CEO Jason Chen says new tariffs are raising import taxes. Now those get passed along to me and you. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading, hurry.

Per fake review. That’s all foreign writers are paid to boost tourist spots. Italy wants to fight back by requiring would-be reviewers to provide ID, proof they visited the place and detailed opinions (paywall link). Speaking of … Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta way. We cannoli do so much. His legacy will become a pizza history. Here today, gone tomato, but it was his thyme to go. I am sending olive my love to his friends. His wife is really upset. Cheese crying. (Now, that was a great one!)
