Musk vs. Altman: The battle ignites

Open/download audio

Musk’s $97B offer for ChatGPT just sparked a tech war. Who will come out on top? Then, is this the end of work-from-home for Gen Z? Plus, why canceling Prime or Hulu feels impossible … and how little the average OnlyFans creator really earns.

🧱 Microsoft tightens the leash: Microsoft’s killing every sneaky way to skip signing in with a Microsoft account during Windows 11 setup. The newest test blocks local account work-arounds, forcing you online whether you like it or not. Supposedly, it’s about “configuration.” They swear it’s “for your security,” which is classic villain lingo.

🍏 iPadOS 26: You get more mic control. For example, plug in a USB mic, and it’ll work right away. In Voice Memos, open Control Center, tap the Voice Memos control at the top, select Input and choose your mic.

🥪 Where’s the beef? Arby’s gets roasted: Turns out those towering Arby’s sandwiches in ads may be Photoshop’s finest work. A lawsuit says they show twice the meat you really get and mislead folks into thinking the beef is rare. A judge just refused to dismiss the case, so Arby’s has to deal with its roast beef reality check in court.

📱 iOS 26: Screenshots work differently now. First, go to Settings > General > Screen Capture and toggle on Full-Screen Previews. When you take a screenshot with Side + Volume Up, you enter full-screen edit mode. Crop the image, use the markup tool at the top to draw or write, then tap the Tick button to Save.

📚 Kickstart your next chapter: Hunting for a good read? The #1 book on Amazon right now is The Let Them Theory by Mel and Sawyer Robbins. Think of it as a manual on how to let go of what you can’t control, whether at work, in love or while chasing your goals.

🌕 Sign me up, Scotty: You could help track Artemis II, the first crewed moon mission in 50 years. The 10-day flight (set for April 2026) will loop astronauts around the moon. If you’ve got the gear to spot Orion, NASA wants your help. Basically, if you’re into backyard stargazing and unpaid work, this is right up your alley.

Ditch the toolbox, use your phone

Hidden apps can help you level shelves, measure spaces with augmented reality, and even convert fractions in seconds. Here’s how to put it to work.

📚 Words, but dumber: The Cambridge Dictionary just added “skibidi,” “delulu” and “tradwife” to its official listings, because apparently we needed receipts that the internet broke language. Other new gems include “mouse jiggler,” “broligarchy” and “work spouse.” Your English teacher is somewhere in a corner, sobbing into a thesaurus.

📉 Debt end job: You ever feel like your job is draining you one unread email at a time, but you can’t leave because … bills? There’s a new term for that: “quiet cracking.” You’re not quitting. You’re just there. Fatigue, disconnection, stuck in place. A lot of folks feel the same. PSA: If work feels like it’s draining you, remember, bills need paying, but so do you. Take five. Breathe.

Like to drive fast? New noise cameras are listening for loud engines and automatically issuing tickets. Know how they work to avoid those hefty fines.

NYC’s newest side hustle: Gotta give it up to ingenuity! A woman’s making cash “car-sitting” so folks don’t get street-cleaning tickets. In New York, if you don’t move your car, you get fined. Her gig? You stay at work while she chills in your ride until the sweeper passes. Beats paying the $65 ticket.

Old fashioned job interviews are back

Open/download audio

Gen Z is getting a rude awakening! AI’s taking jobs, remote work’s over, and cheating through interviews won’t cut it. Here’s how to stay ahead.

📝 Free note-taking app: Joplin is like an organized notebook that never runs out of pages. You can write notes, make checklists and even attach multimedia to your work. Coolest part? It works offline and syncs between your phone and computer, so you can take it wherever you go.

Multiple desktops on Windows 11: You can split up work and hobbies with separate spaces for each. Click the Task View icon on the task bar and select New desktop. Now right-click the new one to rename it and give it a different background. It’s like having a second screen, without actually buying one.

Have your iPad read to you: When your eyes need a break, let your iPad handle the work. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content and toggle on Speak Selection and Speak Screen. In your browser, highlight the text, then tap Speak from the pop-up. To stop it, highlight again and tap Pause.

💼 Bring your bot to work day: If you’re applying for a job at Meta, you can now use AI coding assistants during the interview. Makes sense. You wouldn’t make an accountant use an abacus.

📄 Send docs to Kindle: You’ve got two easy ways. First, find your Send-to-Kindle email under Settings > Your Account on your Kindle. Email your documents there, and they’ll show up in your Library. Or go to amazon.com/sendtokindle and drag and drop the files. Both work like a charm.
