That’s the minimum to make money from your vids. If you want a cut of AdSense revenue, you need 1,000 subs. You’ll need to rack up watch hours, too — 3,000 for Partners and 4,000 for AdSense. Not to toot my own horn here, but I have 82,500 subscribers on YouTube. Toot-toot.

Space out: In most video meeting software, hit the spacebar to mute or unmute yourself. This works on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. Faster than clicking a button! Just make sure you’re muted when you think you are, OK?
Gen Z is over dating apps, and they’re bringing back the early-2000s speed-dating trend. Spend a couple of minutes with each person to see if you click. It’s not just 20-somethings, either.

🕷️ Creepin’ it real: A University of Nebraska-Lincoln student used AI and cheap mics to make a scientific breakthrough. He found wolf spiders prefer to signal to each other on top of crunchy, dead leaves instead of bark.

Quick-wipe your phone searches: For Chrome, hit the three dots at the top, and choose History > Clear browsing data. Use Safari? Open Settings, and tap Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Choose a timeframe and tap Clear History. Phew, it’s gone.
New AI warning: If you use AI to produce content or provide legal, medical or other advice, you’re legally responsible (paywall link) for everything AI does for you.
