Not so wise: Home security company Wyze dropped the ball big time. A glitch flashed 13,000 customers’ private moments to strangers. They’re blaming a “third-party caching client library” integrated into their system. Wyze says it’s tightening its security. I say you ditch them. Btw, score a discount on a SimpliSafe system with my link.
When I read how some grieving parents are using AI to grab the emotions of lawmakers, I thought you’d want to know about it, too. I will warn you this is not one of my usual happy stories.
I’m sure you remember six years ago when a gunman opened fire on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 14 students and three staff members. One of the students who died that day was 17-year-old Joaquin Oliver.
As you’d probably guess, New York City is the most expensive city for an Uber ride. Which city takes the No. 2 slot — Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Seattle or Nashville?
Scientists say a $5 circuit board can sample saliva to detect breast cancer. The test strips cost a few cents each. As someone who hates cancer, I love this.
🤳🏻 Does it bother you when you’re talking with someone and they get a notification on their phone, look down and read it? It’s like your convo with them wasn’t as important as knowing the exact moment someone liked a tweet or posted a new vacation photo. So rude.

On Android:
That’s what video game Baldur’s Gate 3 brought in for Hasbro last year. It’s based on Dungeons & Dragons. Old-school nerds, this one is for you!
The Air Pure now starts at $69,900. I’d steer clear. Fisker did the same thing with its hybrid before the company went out of business.
Don’t want your house and address number visible to anyone online? Request a privacy blur over pictures of your home and car. I did it and so should you.
On Google Maps:
Apple Maps makes it more of a pain. Get this — you actually have to email them. (At least it’s not a fax!) Email your request to MapsImageCollection@apple.com. Include your full address and any property details so they know which house is yours.
😂 I got a Bonnie Tyler GPS. It just keeps telling me to turn around. And every now and then, it falls apart. (I heard you laugh!)
How much HP’s CEO earned in 2023. Poor Enrique Lores got a 7% pay cut — which still comes to $19.46 million in pay, stocks and perks. HP says his actual take-home was $12,858,597. So, he’s fine.
That’s following 5,000 layoffs in 2022. The internet networking company is doing what a bunch of other tech outfits have done: Laying folks off to work on AI.
It just passed Amazon and Alphabet (aka Google). No surprise, given its chips power the majority of today’s AI models.
