Seoul you wanna start a revolution: I thought this was super interesting. Korean activists are using 3D-printed smart balloons to send messages deep into North Korea. Each balloon costs up to $1,000 and can carry up to 16.5 pounds of cargo, like leaflets or mini speakers. The mission: Undermine dictator Kim Jong Un.

WWDC is Apple’s annual conference during which they talk about all things software. Day 1 is always the biggest, and I watched all hour-and-a-half-plus of the event to update you on what’s new.
Come this fall, you’ll see … a new Passwords app that works across your Apple devices, better iPhone customization options, easier texting with your Android pals, and the ability to reply to all texts and iMessages with emojis. (Can’t wait to reply to Barry with an eye roll. Sorry, honey.)
Last month, a group of skaters in LA captured this video of a Waymo driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid hitting them. Waymo says it was the safest option. How would you feel if Waymo decided a head-on collision with your car was the best decision?
Stop paying for things you don’t use: It might sound counterintuitive, but with many streaming services, you can cancel immediately after subscribing (or let Rocket Money* do it for you!) and still enjoy the entire trial period.

Today I learned: Exotic support animals are a thing. See ya later, alligator.
The age of the oldest Daytime Emmy winner ever, Dick Van Dyke. He was a guest on “Days of Our Lives.” When asked about the big win, he said, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!” Love him.
Compared to pre-pandemic times. That’s what HP boss Enrique Lores told investors. Yeah, things aren’t pretty in the print hardware division; revenues have been down nine quarters in a row.
Like Dawn, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&M’s. Super-cool data here showing what brands are most known and most liked. The highest spot for a tech brand is Samsung at No. 5. Apple is super well-known, but only 68% of survey respondents have a positive opinion about the company. I bet the high prices are to blame.
