🐻 Moo-ve away: A new Instagram filter, Selfie Control, warns when you’re too close when taking pics of wild animals. Right now, it’s exclusive to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and comes preloaded with distance requirements for bison, bears and moose. I mean, really, if you need an app for this, you’re just an idiot.

In LDL cholesterol (the “bad” one) by eating corn flour daily. Researchers tested a few different combos and found refined cornmeal mixed with corn bran was the winner at lowering cholesterol. Time to bake some cornbread.

Oh, no, Sonos: Sonos isn’t releasing new products until they can fix their buggy app. Sounds like no big deal, but they say the repair could cost as much as $30 million. Yikes! The products in question? Rumors hint at a set-top TV streaming box and high-end Arc soundbar.

💸 This is funny: Microsoft wanted to give Apple their search site, Bing, for free. Apple said no thanks because Bing sucks and doesn’t generate enough ad revenue. Instead, Apple paid Google $22 billion so their search engine would be the default on iPhones. Microsoft should’ve called theirs Bang instead of Bing; all the guys would’ve been able to say, “Hey, I Banged Margot Robbie and a few other hotties last night.”

Samsung recall alert: They just recalled over 1 million slide-in electric ranges. The front-mounted knobs have already caused hundreds of fires. The 30 affected models were sold between May 2013 and August 2024. Call Samsung at 833-775-0120 to get a free set of knob covers or locks.

Can’t trust ’em: Meta and Google secretly teamed up to target kids with ads for Instagram on YouTube. They exploited a loophole allowing personalized ads to be served to an “unknown” group, aka users whose age and parental status aren’t identified. Seriously? You can tell it’s a kid based on their search history.

🔥 You really have to see this: An indoor cam caught a dog chewing on a lithium-ion battery power bank, which then set the house on fire (video here). The flames spread through the living room in minutes. The family and all their pets got out safely. Phew.

When an X-ray is a tooth pic: A robot performed the world’s first fully automated dental procedure. It scanned a patient’s gumline, analyzed it with AI and then its little arms got to work. In the video, you can see the bot shaving down a tooth. They claim it’s so safe that it even works when a patient moves. I’ll stick with my human dentist for now.

Rumored for Apple Intelligence. It would likely come as part of Apple One, which also includes Apple Music and 2TB of iCloud storage. It’d better beat Siri by a long shot if anyone is going to pay for it.

Lost in space: Two astronauts who left Earth on an eight-day mission could be stuck in space until next year. They departed in June aboard the Boeing Starliner and are now docked at the ISS due to thruster problems. If their spacecraft can’t be repaired, NASA could let them catch a ride on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in February 2025.
