Jeff Bezos needs more money: I mean, he’s only worth $201.3 billion. News is coming out now that Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa, is gonna cost you if you want to use her AI powers. No word on price yet, but it’ll be a monthly subscription added on top of your Prime subscription. Will you pay for it? I won’t.
In 2024 will be phone-free. Unplugged weddings fix that problem of everyone looking at the ceremony through their cam and ruining expensive professional pics. Smart.
Check this recall: If you have an old Frigidaire or Kenmore electric range, it may be a fire and burn hazard. Full list of impacted models here. You’ll need your serial number, so open the bottom drawer and check the inside of the frame. Call Electrolux at 888-845-8226. You might get a free repair or a $50 gift card.
📸 Limited magic: Google’s Magic Editor uses AI to make your pics better. There’s a catch: The free version for Android and iOS includes only 10 Magic Editor saves per month. To get more, pay for a Google One Premium (2TB) plan at $9.99 a month.
I told ya this was coming: Google’s AI search results will soon be loaded with ads. Ask something like, “How do I get wrinkles out of clothes?” and you’ll get summarized suggestions, plus ads for stuff like wrinkle spray, along with links to buy them. Google says it’ll only show ads when it’s relevant. Doubt it.
This makes me so angry: A Michigan woman is facing reckless driving charges after she killed a 63-year-old woman by blowing through a red light. She first told cops she was looking at her GPS. Phone records show at the time, she was really texting and watching a movie. Now, a family is grieving over a senseless tragedy.
👾 Windows and macOS users, beware: Hackers are spreading malware through fake versions of popular apps including 1Password, Bartender 5 and Pixelmator Pro. The malware disables security features and steals your info. That’s bad. Be smart and download apps from official stores only.
Never get between a mom and her babies: So sad and so avoidable. A moose killed a 70-year-old man who got too close trying to photograph her calves in Homer, Alaska. If you see a moose with laidback ears, raised hairs on its hump or licking its lips, it’s about to attack. Run for your life and get behind something solid. Better yet, always leave wildlife alone.
In narcotics trafficked on the dark web by a 23-year-old. Authorities finally bagged the Taiwanese kingpin, Rui-Siang Lin. Over four years, he sold up to $5 million in illegal drugs every month on his site, Incognito Market. For reference, the guy who created the Silk Road was 29 when the feds caught him. He’s serving two lifetimes in prison.
Measure twice, cut once: Researchers are creating 3D models of human hearts and other organs to test treatments before surgery. Pulling in data from medical exams and wearable devices, doctors use these “digital twins” to find the best approach during surgery, all completely risk-free. Imagine the possibilities for conditions like heart disease and cancer (paywall link). Love this.
