Last year, Brett Allred’s world shattered when his 23-year-old son, Riley, took his own life. While searching Riley’s phone for memories, Brett found screenshots of a website with step-by-step instructions on how to die. Now, he’s on a mission to shut it down.

🖥️ Heard of WorkComposer? That’s the tool your boss might be using to watch everything you do on your computer. It just leaked over 21 million screenshots online, and some could include your logins, emails or company info. The data was left wide open in the cloud. Argh.

🧐 Blurry screenshots? Set your screen to the highest resolution so they look crystal clear. On Windows, head to Settings > System > Display. For Mac, open System Settings > Displays. Multiple monitors? Click the one you want to adjust. Pro tip: Don’t zoom in or the quality will drop.

👀 Microsoft’s Recall is almost here: Yep, it’s the nosy one that takes screenshots of every single thing you do on your PC. Why? To search anything you’ve worked on by browsing a timeline. FYI: It’s rolling out to Windows Insiders first, but soon anyone with a Copilot+ PC will get it. It’s opt-in, not automatic.

“Bossware” is big now: This software demand is up 54% and lets your boss watch what you do all day. For about $6 per month per person, it tracks what you type, takes screenshots of your computer throughout the day and even records video through your webcam. Smile!
