That ‘free space’ in your closet might be worth hundreds or more

Bing Image Creator

Let me guess, you’ve got a few mystery boxes in the garage, a closet that could double as a thrift store, and a drawer of random chargers for devices you haven’t seen since the Obama administration.

We all hold onto stuff we might use again but never do. That clutter? It could be worth real cash and might come in handy for Christmas and holiday gifts.

I’ll show you exactly where to sell it, what to skip and how to do it smarter.

👕 Poshmark: For fashion

Got a suit or jeans that haven’t fit since 2019? That handbag you swore you’d use but didn’t? Poshmark is where fashion gets a fresh start and you get paid.

Their new Smart Sell feature is like your own little pricing assistant. You set a price range, and the app handles the hagglers. No back-and-forth, no “will you take $5?” nonsense.

📌 Why I like it: You control the price, the audience is huge, and the shipping is a breeze. They send you a label.

⚠️ Heads up: You’ll need to snap a few decent photos and write a short description. If you can send a text, you can list on Poshmark.

📦 eBay: For tech, collectibles and weird stuff

Old iPods. Retro cameras. Game Boys. I’ve seen people list broken VCRs and still make money. Why? Because eBay is the Wild West of resale and collectors are always on the hunt.

If you’ve got something quirky, vintage or techy, someone wants it.

📌 Why I like it: You can sell almost anything to a global audience. Auctions can drive up prices, and people pay for nostalgia.

Quick fix for a bloated camera roll

Yeah… you probably don’t need 12 photos of the same brunch. Here’s how to free up some space while saving your precious memories.

🫥 Royal eviction: The royal family gave Prince Andrew the 404 treatment. He’s now just Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mountbatten Windsor. Not only is he out of his 30-room mansion, but he’s been digitally wiped off every royal website. Search his name? It reroutes to King Charles. Rumor is Prince Harry is next, but remember, the king can only move one space at a time. (Get it, chess joke? Woah, tough crowd today!)

🔎 Find anything on your computer: On macOS 26, press Command + space bar to open Spotlight search, and type what you need. You can narrow results by hovering over the search field and selecting Apps, Files, Actions or Clipboard. On Windows, press Windows key + S to do the same, and filter by Documents, Settings or Folders.

🔥 Quiet space heater (15% off): Oscillates for even warmth and shuts off safely on its own. Perfect for chilly offices.

Rolling end table (17% off): Slides under your sofa to hold snacks, your laptop or that drink you swore you wouldn’t spill.

📱 Adjustable phone stand (29% off): Foldable, sturdy and ready for Zoom calls, recipes or hours of doomscrolling.

Add another user on Windows: Someone else using your PC? Give them their own space and keep your data separate. Go to Settings > Accounts > Other users > Add account. Done.

✋ Stop Google Photos auto backup: On Android, you can stop Google Photos from quietly uploading every picture you take. It saves some cloud space and keeps your private (or spicy) photos off the internet. Open Photos, tap your profile icon (top right) > Photos settings > Backup, and toggle it off.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Home screen a mess? On Android, long-press a widget or icon and tap Remove. On iPhone, hold the widget, tap Remove Widget > Remove. It won’t delete the app but cleans up space and makes your phone snappier.

Sky’s getting crowded: SpaceX has launched over 10,000 Starlink satellites, and Elon’s only a third of the way done. Around 8,600 are still in orbit, beaming internet from space while the rest burn up in the atmosphere. Good news for internet in the sticks, but terrible for astronomers.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Want a cleaner bookmarks bar in Chrome? Right-click a bookmark, select Edit, delete the Name and hit Save. You’ll see just the icon, and free up extra space.

Apple’s new M5 chip: What you need to know

Open/download audio

The AI computer era is here. Apple’s M5 chip is rolling out in the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro. Then, a wild call from Eileen, who’s helping her friend after an IT shop scam cost thousands. Plus, billionaire bunkers, Jeff Bezos’ space dreams, and more big tech updates.

🌌 Space commune, anyone? Jeff Bezos says by 2045, millions will live in space by choice. Robots will “commute” to the moon for us, handling all the dusty jobs while humans float in orbit. He swears it’s the next plow moment, not postapocalyptic sci-fi. Sam Altman agrees. Musk’s already packing. Me? I’ll be waving goodbye from Earth.

Space leak: Researchers from UC San Diego and Maryland snagged T-Mobile calls, texts and even military comms, all from unencrypted satellites. Literally anyone with $800 and a rooftop dish could’ve done it. Companies assumed “no one would look up.” Which, frankly, explains a lot about our cybersecurity situation. Somewhere, aliens are listening to your spam texts.

Wipe out the weekend mess

Time to turn your Sunday chores into quick wins.

🦈 Shark StainStriker (27% off): Deep cleans rugs, car seats and those mystery spots on your couch.

Spray mop (24% off): Ditch the bucket. Comes with three reusable microfiber pads that love all kinds of floors.

🧴 Bottle emptying kit (20% off): Let gravity squeeze every last drop. These caps practically pay for themselves.

Window & glass cleaner (13% off): Fingerprints and streaks? Gone with one swipe of this rose vinegar spray.

🧺 Laundry sheets (25% off): Bye-bye to bulky jugs, hello to easy-peasy detergent strips that save space.

🛍️ More time, less effort: Click here for today’s top steals on cleanup gear that gets it done.

🪐 Make a wish (maybe duck): That bright streak lighting up the sky isn’t a shooting star, it’s a Starlink satellite crashing out of orbit. With 8,500 up there (and more on the way), we can expect up to five fiery reentries daily soon. The FAA warns falling space junk could start injuring people by 2035. Heads up, literally.

A cloud in space: At Tech Week, Jeff Bezos said the AI boom will push massive data centers into orbit within 20 years. Basically, solar-powered, gigawatt clusters will beam information back by laser. He swears they’ll beat Earth’s power costs. Oh, a wild footnote from that talk? He predicts millions of people living in space, too.

🚀 My rocket’s bigger: I just finished reading the book Rocket Dreams, and wow, Elon and Jeff have turned space into a billionaire soap opera. Through secret meetings, Twitter spats and NASA bidding wars, the book shows Musk and Bezos chasing space, not just for ego but because they actually believe we’ll live there. It’s messy but so interesting.
