On the flip side

Of screen time before bed can cut your sleep by 24 minutes and increase your risk of insomnia by 59%. And no, a blue light filter won’t save you. Bright light of any kind still messes with your body’s sleep signals and tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime. My advice? Wind down with something chill like music or an audiobook.

How much Meta’s upcoming Hypernova smart glasses might cost. The shades have a tiny screen in the bottom-right corner with built-in apps for snapping photos, opening maps and checking phone notifications. Oh, and you might even get a neural wristband that lets you wave commands like a wizard. 

New users on ChatGPT every hour since GPT-4o’s new image tool launched. Wow. No wonder Open AI CEO Sam Altman calls the demand “biblical.” The buzz hasn’t been this high since ChatGPT first launched.

What lawyers might charge in the future, according to the LexisNexis CEO. With AI doing the grunt work like digging up case law and writing summaries, they’ll have more time to focus on the important stuff. Better service, bigger bills.

In my humble opinion, at $10K an hour, your lawyer should also do your taxes, walk your dog and solve your childhood trauma.

Sent by scammers each day. They’re using iPhone farms (aka groups of phones with rotating Apple IDs) to slip past security filters. If you’ve gotten a text saying you need to act fast about an unpaid road toll, shipping fees or taxes, that’s likely where it came from. Barry texted me, “Call me.” So I called him and said, “Text me” and hung up. I thought it was hilarious! Him not so much.

How many people made Forbes’ 2025 Billionaires List. Leading the pack? Elon Musk at $342B, Mark Zuckerberg at $216B and Jeff Bezos at $215B. Altogether, the list is worth a ridiculous $16.1 trillion! For perspective, they could literally give every person on Earth $2,000, but they won’t.

What it costs to sign up for YouTube’s Premium Lite plan. The catch is you’ll still see some ads on music videos, Shorts and while browsing. There’s also no background play, offline downloads or access to YouTube Music Premium. And they wonder why people use ad blockers.
