Foldgate incoming: Apple’s first foldable iPhone just leaked, well, unfolded. Expect a 7.58-inch inner display, dual 48MP cameras, titanium body and a new hinge made of … metallic glass? Coming 2026, or as I like to call it, soon-ish. Expected at $2,000+, it folds like a wallet, and empties one faster.

You’ve got 13 seconds to undo, unplug, swipe or save your digital dignity. That’s your window to salvage your glitchy app, that accidental “Reply All” email or your phone freezing mid-sentence.
Don’t scream, at least not yet.
☕ 1. Spilled something on your laptop? Flip it upside down. Immediately. Don’t sit there staring at the mess like it’s a Greek tragedy: “Oh, Zeus! How could I have done this to me?”
Unplug, flip and do not power it on to “check.” That’s how things get fried.
✉️ 2. Sent the wrong email? Hit “Undo” in Gmail, you’ve got five to 30 seconds.
Set your undo window to the max in Settings > See all settings > Undo Send > Save changes (you’re welcome).
Now, when you accidentally write “Hey, dummy” instead of “Hi, Debbie,” you’ve got time to recover.
💻 3. Closed the wrong browser tab? Know the magic keys. Ctrl + Shift + T (Windows) or Command + Shift + T (Mac). This miracle combo reopens your last closed tab like nothing ever happened. A true tech time machine.
📱 4. Phone glitching? Hard restart. Hold the buttons like your digital life depends on it.
- Android: Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. Easy, right?
- iPhone: Press the volume up button, then the volume down button. Do this quickly, one after the other. Now, press and hold the side power button until you see the Apple logo pop up.
🗑️ 5. Deleted a file you actually needed? Check the trash. It’s almost always there unless you shift-deleted. In which case … yikes. For Android, open Google Photos > Collections > Trash to recover any photo or video. On iPhone, look in Photos > Recently Deleted under “Utilities.” Remember, you have 30 days before they disappear forever.
🎯 The moral of the story is that you’ve got a tiny window to save yourself from disaster. When tech goes sideways, don’t freeze. Act fast.

That’s how many “CDs’ worth of music” could be held on a stamp-sized hard drive. A promising new magnetic molecule that stores data solo can store three years of nonstop Pink Floyd, crammed tighter than your high school jeans. Don’t get too excited, it currently only works at -279°F.
Improve Netflix quality: If your stream looks pixelated, your video settings might be set too low. Log in to Netflix on desktop, click your profile > Account > Edit settings > Playback settings. Change Data usage per screen to High and hit Save. If it starts buffering, run a speed test and switch back to Auto.
🕳️ Google reads your texts: They’re doing it again. Starting July 7, Google’s Gemini AI will tap into your Phone, Messages, WhatsApp and more, even if you’ve opted out of activity tracking. Google calls it “good news.” I found the secret steps to stop this nonsense here. Otherwise, your texts will be stored, scanned and possibly read by a human along with the things, up to and including being sold to who knows who. Not cool.
Over $44 million
That’s how much has been pledged for a new UV printer, making it the most funded Kickstarter ever. The eufyMake E1 prints colorful designs on 300+ materials, including good ol’ fashioned rocks (yes, seriously). Here’s the link.
✈️ TSA greenlights digital IDs: Good news ahead of Apple’s iOS 26 update. It’ll let iPhone owners add a digital ID to Apple Wallet using their U.S. passport. You’ll be able to use it for domestic flights, but only at certain California airports (for now). And yes, you should still bring your physical ID, just in case. PSA: That’s not your Costco card.
📷 Alerts with context: Ring cameras can now use AI to describe what they see. Instead of “Living room: Motion detected,” you might get “A dog is tearing up paper towels on the rug.” The best part? It shows up as a phone notification, so there’s no need to open the video. Home Premium subscribers only ($20/month). At that point, just get a real security system.
37.4 terabytes
That’s how much junk data one IP got smacked with, in 45 seconds. Taking the crown as the largest cyberattack in history, the DDoS attack was so heavy, it could’ve streamed 10,000 HD movies simultaneously. Somehow, Cloudflare’s clients stayed online.
ChatGPT got better: OpenAI added a new feature called Connectors that lets the bot work with apps like Google Drive, Dropbox and SharePoint. You can now ask it to do things like “Summarize all the PDFs in my Dropbox,” and it’ll pull the info for you. The catch? It’s only available to Pro users at $200/month. Yikes.
🛰️ Shrimp nets, meet rocket parts: Florida shrimpers on the Space Coast say they’re dragging up more than seafood, namely chunks of space junk. Experts agree it could be from rockets. Rocket junk is casually tossed in the Atlantic all the time, and launches are only picking up. Brace yourself for a new sea-to-table menu.
Deepfake dames on the loose: Award-winning actress Helen Mirren is warning fans after scammers used her name to send “charity” emails from drogogo91(at)gmail.com (Yes, really). She says, again, in all caps IT’S NOT HER. If you believe that 79-year-old Dame Helen’s emailing you about crypto, it’s time for you to get off the internet, forever.
🧃 Creatine conspiracy: Turns out your “muscle-boosting” gummy bears might be nothing more than expensive Jolly Ranchers. Independent testing showed some bestsellers on Amazon have ≈0.005 grams of creatine per serving; that’s 0.1% of what’s advertised. One brand would require eating 8,000 gummies per day. That’s a lot of bears with no teeth.
$300 billion
The payday Ronald Wayne missed by leaving Apple too soon. Wayne bailed on his 10% stake 12 days in, for $800 in 1976 (paywall link), thinking he was dodging a financial bullet. The payout probably could buy him a small country today, or a few months’ rent in a San Francisco studio apartment.
👩🏼⚖️ Siri’s no-show sparks suit: Apple is getting sued by shareholders for hyping Siri’s AI glow-up before it was anywhere near ready. The suit claims Apple pushed phantom features to boost stock prices, then quietly delayed everything till 2026. Siri can’t read your screen yet, but it might need to read legal briefs soon.
103 mph
That’s how fast Jacob Misiorowski’s fastball has been clocked, in Triple-A. In the majors, he’s averaging just 99.7 mph, nearly 6 mph faster than the league average. That’s a massive gap in baseball speak. The Brewers rookie started his big-league career with 11 hitless innings. Basically, he’s playing MLB on rookie mode, with cheat codes.
💳 I’m not overdrawn, I’m under-deposited! FICO has two new types of scores that now include Buy Now, Pay Later loans. Lenders can now see that debt or your on-time payments. Just passing it along.

The number of new Kuiper satellites Amazon just flung into orbit. These are batch two of a planned 3,236, and they’re not just for show. Bezos wants your internet to come from space, like Musk.
