Drowning in duplicate photos? Here's how to declutter your digital memories

I remember my parents saying, “Kim, stop wasting the film.” Oh, yes, this was back when we’d put film in a camera, take up to 36 pictures, then wait for the roll to get developed to see if any of the shots were good. Those days are long gone, fortunately.

💸 Apple Intelligence isn’t free after all: Case in point, ChatGPT is being integrated into iOS and macOS to boost features like Siri. You’ll either deal with usage limits or have to shell out $19.99 a month for a ChatGPT Plus subscription. Bummer, especially when Google and Samsung’s AI tools are free … well, for now.

Up to 15% tax refund

When you buy something while on vacation in Italy. By the way, this article says 22%, but that’s not quite right. Still, what a deal. I’d look for a designer handbag; they’re way cheaper there compared to stores here in the U.S. I always have Trevi saying goodbye to Rome.

Are your apps spying on you? Check your phone's privacy report

There’s an easy-to-miss tool built right into your phone that shows you which apps access your microphone, camera, location data and everything else.

Because we all want to hear, ‘Wow, you look great’

I do my best to eat enough protein, get in my veggies and drink lots of water. I’m all about high-quality supplements, too, for things that are hard to get through good habits alone. I’ve been taking collagen for years, and it’s scientifically proven to improve not just how you look but also how you feel.

60-plus hours a week

Time millennials spend sitting on their butts between work and their couch potato lifestyle. That’s accelerating their biological clocks and increasing their risk of heart disease. You’ve got to move it, move it!

My top password manager pick has an A+ security feature built in

But there’s a smarter way to protect your online accounts — using a trusted password manager like NordPass.

Remembering complex, unique passwords for every single account is practically impossible. If you’re like most people, you probably end up reusing passwords or writing them down somewhere, which isn’t your best bet if you value security.

Apple just dropped the update to test your hearing: You’ll need a pair of AirPods Pro 2 and an iPhone running iOS 18.1. Go to Settings > AirPods Pro > Take a Hearing Test. If hearing loss is detected, turn on hearing aid features under Settings > AirPods Pro > Hearing Assistance. FYI: The test takes about 10 minutes, and you’ll need to remain in a quiet room; otherwise, you’ll have to start over. Spoiler: This only works if you have mild to moderate hearing loss.
