Letâs start with the basics. Chrome extensions add extra features not built into Chrome, like ad blocking, translations and one-click full-page screenshots.
Just like apps on your phone, extensions request permissions to track what you do, see and share online. But many extensions get far more access than they need and collect data way beyond their intended purpose. And thatâs when youâre at risk of identity theft, scams and data harvesting.
Linda recently called my national radio show with a question that flooded my inbox. Clearly, a lot of you have experienced a similarly eerie moment.
I hear you: âKim, her phone was listening!â The answer isnât that simple, but I can explain whatâs really going on.
Spring break is around the corner, and Sundays are the best day to book trips, so letâs talk travel hacks. My dad worked for United Airlines, so I grew up on airplanes. Iâve explored 38 countries (and counting!) with plenty more on my bucket list. Letâs get you the best deals!
You and a friend split some apps and cocktails. Cash? Nah, payment apps make it way easier. Type in the amount, hit send and boom, youâre set.
But every time you send money, thereâs a risk it could end up in the wrong place. Thatâs why Iâm here to help you get it to the right place. Letâs dive in.
I get so many calls during my national radio show and DMs from folks who think theyâre being stalked. Sometimes, the person is seeing signs that arenât there. Other times, itâs clear thereâs something going on. Itâs not surprising, given how easy it is for tech to watch someoneâs movements.
When it comes to tech myths, Iâve heard âem all. Thatâs why Iâm here to help you keep a handle on whatâs real and whatâs not. Before we dive in, just a few reminders: Macs can get viruses, closing apps will not save battery life, and your smartphoneâs memory doesnât die after two years.
Iâve run a broadcast business for over 25 years. I joke Iâm an overnight success, but the truth is it took a long time to get here. In the beginning, it was like any new small biz, shoved into a small, crappy workspace with bills piling up.
Everyone wants your Social Security number. Some requests are legit, like when you’re starting a new job, applying for a loan or verifying your identity.
But countless others, from data brokers to scammers, are after your nine-digit code, too. In fact, an estimated 2,400 data brokers operate in the U.S., collecting and selling billions of personal records, often without your knowledge. Some even offer âcredit header data,â which includes Social Security numbers, for as little as $5 per record.
Every morning, I sit down with my amazing executive producer, Madi, to plan what tech tidbits Iâm going to bring you in my national radio shows, podcasts and this newsletter. Today, she came in with a doozy.
Her boyfriend got an email with a tax form he wasnât expecting. Last year, he made about $20,000 on eBay selling comics, some bikes and a few other things. Like most folks getting a 1099âK for the first time, he has no idea just how much heâll owe yet.
Ever wonder why some people just seem to glow with health? No, itâs not a filter or some secret Hollywood lighting trick. (OK, for some people it is.) But for the lucky ones, itâs whatâs happening inside their body. And one of the biggest factors? Collagen.
