Help! I’m in Amazon jail

Open/download audio

Caller Gee from Virginia Beach got hacked ($2,500 gone) and somehow he’s the one in trouble. Amazon’s calling him the culprit. Plus, ChatGPT goes to court, Waymo’s cars get pulled over, and Hollywood’s newest starlet is pure code. It’s a wild lineup.

🪟 Smarter windows: Corning (yep, the iPhone glass folks) dropped new “Enlighten” windows that are essentially energy-saving machines. Normal windows leak heat 10 to 20 times worse than your walls. These new ones? Up to 5x more efficient. Ah yes, finally an energy-saving way to stare at the Amazon guy delivering your packages.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Always check the unit price (cost divided by the number of units). On sites like Amazon, it’s in parentheses in tiny letters next to the sale price. This makes comparing prices easier to see if buying in bulk is actually worth it. 

Amazon’s new gear is live: Everything you can buy right now

“Alexa, what’s new?” Oh, just about everything.

Amazon just dropped a truckload of new gadgets, including smarter speakers, sharper sound and security tech that practically thinks for you. Don’t worry, I’ve translated all the techie stuff into plain English, so you know what’s worth your money.

Hair straightener brush (30% off): Heats up in 30 seconds to straighten, style and add shine all at once.

🧳 Hanging toiletry bag (33% off): No more messy counters. Zips up and hooks on towel racks, doorknobs, you name it, like a mini shelf.

Foldable travel umbrella (32% off): Weighs just over a pound but holds up in 85 mph winds. 4.5 stars and 102K+ reviews.

Free cloud storage made easy

Are all your drives full? You don’t have to pay for extra storage. In this AI podcast, find out what you actually get from Google, Apple, and Amazon. Then, Meta’s new AI ad trap, the massive Salesforce hack, and why your Ring camera watches more than your porch.

🛒 ChatGPT goes checkout: If you’re in the U.S., you can buy Etsy stuff inside ChatGPT. Shopify’s next. It’s single-item for now, Stripe handles payment, and merchants pay the fee, not you. Amazon and Walmart aren’t playing (yet).

Shockingly early Prime steals

Big Deal Days kick off tomorrow, but these techy discounts already dropped.

🔋 Cordless vacuum cleaner (25% off): Lightweight, tangle-free and moonlights as a handheld vac for tight crevices.

Handheld massage gun (40% off): Beat those knots. Heat, cold and percussion therapy hit every sore spot.

👩‍💻 Get your tech fix: More Prime Big Deal Day deals are live today. Grab ’em now before you get left in the digital dust.

🐾 Doggy surveillance default: Ring cameras are now default detectives, scanning outdoor feeds for missing dogs if a neighbor posts on the app. If your cam spots one, you’ll get a ping, but the opt-in switch flipped without asking. Amazon insists it’s only for pets, but facial recognition just launched, too. You can see where this is headed. Suddenly Fido’s not the only one being tracked. To turn it off: Open the Ring app > go to menu (☰) > Control Center > tap Search for Lost Pets > toggle off for every device. Good thing you have me on your side.

From meal-prepping to baking, these kitchen helpers work as hard as you do.

🥬 Lettuce be honest: Amazon just mashed its Happy Belly and Fresh brands into one new budget line: Amazon Grocery. I’m talking 1,000+ items under $5, like produce, meat, snacks, you name it. Kroger, Walmart, Target and Costco stocks all dipped at the news. Bezos started with your bookshelf, then your front porch, and now he’s crawling into your fridge. Chips happened.

Outdoor stake timer (20% off): Let your Halloween or Christmas lights shine until dawn or just a few hours to save energy.

Open/download audio

Think your neighbor’s package mix-up is innocent? It could be a scam to get free stuff from Amazon. Here’s how the trick works and what you should do instead.
