Saving money can be easy. Simple things like eating dinner at home more often than going to your favorite restaurant or skipping that daily $6 latte can really add up. You’ll have your next vacation paid for in no time.
If you aren’t protecting your router, you’re exposing a weak spot for cybercriminals to strike. Don’t be like the millions of people using outdated routers or weak default passwords. That’s right: A study from Comparitech found that one in 16 home Wi-Fi routers use their manufacturer’s default admin password.
You turn me on: Explicit AI “girlfriend” chatbot ads are all over Facebook, Instagram and Messenger. At least 29,000 (!) are trying to lure you in with generated images and suggestive text. Meta says it’s “reviewing and removing” the ads. I say they need a better way.
Over 30% of folks have been asked to tip for a service they wouldn’t normally consider “tip-worthy” — like when my plumber asked me for a tip, which I’d never heard of in my life.
⛪ Need an ark? I Noah guy: Catholic “priest” Fr. Justin hit the web sporting a collar and gray beard to bring more people into the faith. He gave out sacraments and absolved sins … and said it was OK to baptize babies with Gatorade. Yeah, he was “defrocked” as AI. These days, Justin’s still giving bizarre advice … but as a regular ol’ layperson.
Apple’s AI play: On May 7, Apple will announce (Bloomberg, paywall link) its first truly AI device: An OLED iPad Pro powered by their own M4 chip. This smart move sets up Apple to be all in on AI, just in time for its June developers conference. This fall, the new iPhones will have AI baked in, too. Hopefully, they fire Siri.
Not a scratch: In January, an iPhone was sucked out of a Boeing 737 midflight and found on the ground completely intact, despite falling 16,000 feet. How’d that happen? As it turns out, an iPhone’s max freefall speed (WSJ, paywall link) is about 60 mph due to air resistance and gravity. Plus, it landed in a forest, not a hard tile floor.
AI is taking over: You need to make sure your business can compete. Take a free test drive of Oracle’s AI tech right now, before it’s too late. I like learning from the best, and I bet you do, too!
He’s been schooled: A high school coach used AI against a principal who fired him. With a voice-cloning app, he “recorded” the principal making racist and antisemitic comments and posted it all over social. The clip was exposed as phony. Sure, the bad guy’s in jail, but that won’t fix the good guy’s reputation.
🚨 Kaiser Permanente data leak: It affects about 13.4 million patients. Third-party trackers installed on its sites and mobile apps were sending info to vendors like Google, Microsoft and X. The compromised data includes patient names, IP addresses, and their site and app interactions. Yup, medical ID theft is coming to you.
