Reading this on a 6-year-old iPhone 11? It’s well past the average smartphone lifespan of 2.5 years … and I’m impressed you’ve hung onto it this long. Btw, Apple typically provides iOS updates for five to six years after a model’s release.

Total price of a $20 order on DoorDash. It’s not just delivery fees and tips. DoorDash now lets you split your bill into four payments with Klarna. Miss a payment? That’s a $7 late fee and maybe overdraft charges from your bank. The other day, I ordered DoorDash and got this message, “Jesus is on his way.” I thought, “He sure is!”
Analyzed, and researchers found taxi and ambulance drivers are least likely to die from Alzheimer’s. The reason is interesting. They’re constantly using their brains to navigate, which keeps the hippocampus healthy. That’s the part of the brain tied to memory and spatial skills. And no, using GPS doesn’t count, but folding a map does.
Accuracy a new AI model, ECgMLP, can detect endometrial cancer. This is amazing. It enhances medical images, zeroes in on the most important areas, then uses advanced pattern recognition to give a diagnosis. It’s also great at identifying colorectal, breast and oral cancer. Love this news.
