âKim, I love my iPhone 16 but hate itâs made in China and apps track everything you do including your bowel movements. Is there a phone made in the USA that doesnât track you?â â Paul in Tampa, Florida
Well, Paul, thereâs exactly one, the $1,999 Liberty Phone from Purism. If the name makes you want to stand up and salute, you might sit right back down when I tell you the rest.
Youâve heard me say it a hundred times: Clear your cookies, block third-party trackers, use private browsing. But hereâs something new, something creepier.
Now, even after nuking cookies from orbit and going full incognito ninja, websites still know who you are. How? Something called browser fingerprinting.
Itâs finally here for $399, a year after it was announced. For $100 more, you get a back-and-green theme, a pre-paired Xbox controller, the Xbox Cloud Gaming app pre-installed, an Elite Strap and three months of Game Pass Ultimate. Specs match the regular $299 3S, so think of it as a collectorâs item.

What it costs to ride Teslaâs new robotaxi in Austin, Texas. Right now, about 10 self-driving Model Ys are on the road, with a Tesla employee riding shotgun just in case. Elon says 1,000 more are coming in the next few months, with San Francisco and LA up next (paywall link). Good luck, traffic.
Chris started using ChatGPT to help mix music, then gave it a flirty personality and named it âSoul.â Before long, things turned romantic and he popped the question. The bot said yes. The kicker? He already has a human partner and a 2-year-old daughter. The interview is something else. Crazy. Weird.
Thatâs how many ships a day are getting their GPS signals jammed near Iranâs coast (paywall link). Itâs making navigation harder and riskier. Itâs happening in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but essential route that handles about 20% of the worldâs oil.
Thatâs all it took to write the worldâs most terrifying tuba solo. Jaws turns 50 this month, and all composer John Williams needed was just E and F played faster and louder. This helped create a shark so scary, we thought twice about going in a swimming pool.
The extra time youâll need if your boarding pass says âSSSS.â Thatâs âSecondary Security Screening Selectionâ (paywall link) aka the travel worldâs scarlet letter. Why? TSA flagged your travel as suspicious: Think last-minute bookings, one-way cash flights, certain countries, sketchy vibes or just random luck. Congrats, youâve unlocked the VIP experience nobody asked for.
Thatâs how much crypto the FBI wants to give back to scam victims. Unheard of, right? Usually, itâs âsorry for your loss,â but this time, federal agents are trying to return stolen Tether to 430+ duped investors. Sounds great until you realize crypto investment fraud racked up $9.3 billion in losses last year alone.
Thatâs how long ago Meuse Woman walked the Earth, give or take a Netflix binge. Before the wheel, before writing, before Stonehenge, there was her. Now sheâs got a face (thanks, science) and a pending fan vote to pick her name out of Margo, Freya or Mosâanne.
