Let’s get one thing straight: Crypto isn’t disappearing into the tech void. Love it, hate it or meme it into oblivion, digital currency is sticking around, and the U.S. is auditioning to become the crypto capital of the world. That’s why it’s so important to understand the basics before you fall for a Reddit post […]
Michelle in Phoenix asks: “Hello, Kim, do you have recommendations for services that remove your phone number, home address off Google? My son is getting extremely harassing texts and vandalism at his home. We want to remove all our phone numbers and addresses from public viewing.” Michelle, you’re not alone. Googling yourself used to be […]
After I shared my list of the best AI prompts for work, the comments poured in. “OK, Kim, but what about real life?” What, my work life isn’t real enough for you? Kidding, great question! You know AI can plan a trip and meals or write a to-do list. But let’s go beyond that. Here […]
I don’t know about you, but when Friday hits, the last thing I want to do is scroll for an hour trying to find something to watch.
Let’s be real: Smartphones are getting out of hand, literally. We traded pocket space for bigger screens, better cameras and more power. Some of these glass bricks are the size of a paperback novel and about as easy to use one-handed. Even Marty Cooper, the man who invented the cell phone, told me directly that […]
Time for a little game I used to have on the show: Brand New or Not True.
I love Google Maps. It’s one of those everyday tech tools that actually makes life easier. From finding late-night tacos to dodging traffic like a pro, it’s still the gold standard in navigation. (Sorry, Apple Maps, you’re catching up but not quite there yet.) 🗺️ Google Maps has charted nearly every inch of the planet, […]
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. Upgrading your laptop or smartphone is inevitable. But wait before you throw out […]
The other day on my national radio show, I mentioned that the average American drops $110 a month on streaming services. Add another $80+ for a solid internet connection, and suddenly old-school cable doesn’t look so bad. My inbox lit up with folks asking, “Kim, how can I lower my streaming bills?” I’m willing to […]
This is the kind of thing that makes you wish flip phones were still a thing. The world has moved from marketing to digital profiling. We are being tracked like never before. Advertising giant Publicis Groupe just released a video bragging that its CoreAI platform tracks a staggering 91% of all adult internet users. Yes, […]
You never hear anyone say, “This router is amazing. It changed my life!” It’s sad because that little guy controls your entire home’s internet.
When’s the last time you looked to see who’s logged into your accounts? Yeah, I thought so.
If you’re not using AI in your business or professional life yet, guess what? Your competitors are and they’re getting ahead. Time to change that. The secret to making AI actually useful? Asking the right questions. A lazy prompt gets you a lazy answer. A smart one is where the magic happens. Here are three […]
Humanoid robots have come a long way. In 2000, Honda’s $2.5 million ASIMO could barely shuffle along at 1 mph. Now, robots are running, flipping and handling customer service. Let’s dive into the robot revolution. 🦾 Why humanoid bots? Most robots are one-trick ponies — great at one task but useless everywhere else. The problem? […]
What’s the obvious downside for always-on devices that constantly listen for commands? They’re always listening.
My job is to keep you ahead of the curve, so you know what’s worth your hard-earned money and what’s just hype. One reader recently asked me: Where are laptops going next? Let’s break it down. 🤖 AI is baked in As AI gets better, imagine a bot that automates boring laptop tasks like booking […]
It’s not just clingy exes popping into your messages out of the blue. Scammers are ramping up phony texts across the country. You can make the texts stop (more below). Here are the latest ones making the rounds and the red flags to watch for: 🚨 Fake missed toll or parking ticket The FTC just […]
We’ve all had those texts we want to delete — from bad jokes and typos, to (gulp) sending something sensitive to the wrong contact. Can you really ever remove a text from your life? Is a deleted text really deleted for good? It’s complicated. 🍎 Team Apple Press and hold on a text in a […]
You’ve probably seen the headlines: “AI is coming for all our jobs.” But instead of you panicking, I did the hard work for you. I tracked down the 290-page Future of Jobs Report 2025 from the World Economic Forum and actually read it. Here’s what you really need to know (minus the fluff). The less-than-rosy […]
Yash Shah never thought he’d end up in jail. By his own account, he was just a “normal person” trying to make ends meet. Pick up a package, drop it off. Easy money. But that “easy money” landed him in a detention center, facing charges for his alleged role in one of the fastest-growing criminal […]
