Don’t trust public Wi-Fi

August 27, 2025

📶 Don’t trust public Wi-Fi: Scammers can set up “evil twin” networks that look like your coffee shop’s or airport’s Wi-Fi. Once you connect, they can intercept everything you type, from social media logins to credit card info. Always ask staff for the exact network name, and use a VPN to encrypt your internet traffic. My pick is ExpressVPN.

Tech that makes long flights not feel like a prison sentence

When I was a kid, my kindergarten teacher called my mom and said, “We think Kim might have a problem. She’s convinced she went to Paris last weekend.” My mom laughed and said, “Oh no, we did go to Paris.”

Oh, sheet: Excel’s =COPILOT() feature writes formulas for you. But here’s the catch: Microsoft says it’s not accurate, not reproducible and shouldn’t be used for finances, legal docs or … well, Excel’s entire job that’s continually regressing.

🎙️ Finding her voice: I love this. Only eight seconds of fuzzy ’90s home video, that’s all it took for AI to bring back Sarah Ezekiel’s real voice after 25 years with motor neurone disease. Her kids had only ever heard her speak through a robotic voice. Until now. This is what AI gets right. Changing lives in ways we never imagined.

🚨 Follow the money: Big Tech is whining about spending nearly $400B this year building AI, and it’s draining their mountain of cash reserves. Sure, they can afford it, but they’re in the business of making money, not blowing it. So you know what this means? Your next AI chatbot will come with a GPU surcharge.

⚙️ Uninsurable metal box: Tesla’s stainless steel Cybertruck is apparently too weird to insure. Geico and Hanover are pulling out, citing plummeting sales (just 4,306 sold last quarter) and high repair costs. The truck’s low production and high drama have made it a financial Bermuda Triangle.

📞 Press 1 to cry: A Denver dad lost $17K after calling United Airlines’ actual customer service number and somehow getting transferred to a scammer mid-call. You heard that right. The scammer intercepted the call like a midair hijack. United has no idea how it happened. I suspect a tech loophole let the fraudster “spoof” the handoff or silently insert themselves into the call queue. No answers yet. Just one stunned family, a lot less money and probably a free drink voucher from United, if they’re lucky.
