đ¤ AI gone wrong: A Florida man was arrested after facial recognition tech said he matched a suspect trying to lure a 12-year-old at a restaurant. The system gave a 93% confidence score, two witnesses IDâd him from a photo lineup, and that was enough to put him in cuffs. But nope, it was a false positive. Case dropped.

Thereâs one voicemail Iâll never delete.
Itâs from my mom. Sheâs been gone for almost four years, but every so often, I play it back. Itâs nothing dramatic, just her voice asking if I could buy her a gallon of milk on my way home. (In her Brooklyn accent, âKim, make sure itâs 2%, not the fatty whole milk please.â)
How many online accounts have you made over the years? 50? 100? More? Thatâs enough to fill a digital graveyard.

How many emails Mark Cuban reads and replies to every single day. No assistant. No Slack. Just three phones and an email trail stretching back to the â90s. Meetings? Pass. Heâd rather crush his inbox than lose an hour to a âquick sync.â Bonus: Gmailâs auto-replies do 20% of the heavy lifting.

You know the feeling. You want to watch a specific movie, maybe an old favorite (hello, 1999âs The Mummy) or that buzzworthy show everyoneâs talking about, but you have no clue where to find it.
Instead of spending those precious moments actually watching it, youâre playing streaming detective: Netflix? Hulu? Prime Video? Is it free? Rentable?
The size of Kioxiaâs new SSD. And it fits in one device. Itâs made for AI and data center workloads where raw capacity beats flashy speed. Think: massive training datasets, not movie marathons. It sacrifices performance to keep signal integrity in check, but itâs perfect if your job is âstore the internet.â
What Paramount+ is coughing up for the streaming rights to South Park. Trey Parker and Matt Stone just pulled off the media heist of the decade: five years, $300 million a year. And yes, itâs still a cartoon about poop jokes.
Hidden Facebook messages: If youâve been on the app a while, chances are youâve got tons of unread DMs sitting in your Message requests folder. Thatâs where Meta sends chats from people youâre not friends with. To check, tap the Messenger icon > Settings > Message requests > You may know.
Thatâs how many pet owners said theyâd date their dog, if it were human. Yes, this is real. Thanks to TikTok and a little too much ChatGPT, people are anthropomorphizing their pets ⌠and catching feelings. Yeah ⌠itâs less weird if you donât think about it.
Thatâs how many hours Netflix had people glued to their couch in the first half of 2025. Thatâs over 10 million years of screen time, roughly twice the age of Homo sapiens. Netflix plans to double its ad revenue with pause ads and interactive pop-ups. Nothing says âimmersive dramaâ like a toothpaste ad mid-tear.
