đ Smile, youâre on 15 different cameras: A journalist drove 300 miles across rural Virginia, then filed public records requests to see how often his car was caught on surveillance. The short answer: a lot, proof that even on the quiet backroads, Big Brother is watching and judging your late-night Taco Bell runs.

Letâs be real: Smartphones are getting out of hand, literally.
We traded pocket space for bigger screens, better cameras and more power. Some of these glass bricks are the size of a paperback novel and about as easy to use one-handed.
Time for a little game I used to have on the show: Brand New or Not True.
Hereâs how it works: There are five AI tools for you below. Some are legit. Some are the twisted inventions of my caffeinated brain.
Length of Avatar: Fire and Ash. James Cameron says the third film will be way longer than The Way of Water, which was three hours and 12 minutes. And no, he doesnât believe in intermissions. Bring snacks. Bring a charger. Bring a change of clothes.
How far a manâs body was flown from the UK to Michigan to be stored in a liquid nitrogen cryogenic chamber. The goal? Freeze now and hope science figures out how to bring him back to life later. Think advancements in AI, stem cell research and nanotechnology. Hey, itâs a long shot, but when youâre already dead, what have you got to lose?
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 wonât save you. Bright light of any kind still messes with your bodyâs sleep signals and tricks your brain into thinking itâs daytime. My advice? Wind down with something chill like music or an audiobook.
How much Metaâs 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-4oâs new image tool launched. Wow. No wonder Open AI CEO Sam Altman calls the demand âbiblical.â The buzz hasnât been this high since ChatGPT first launched. With 500 million total users and counting, itâs clearer than ever: AI is here to stay. Or people are just obsessed with making cartoon versions of themselves.
The age of an underwater camera trap discovered by a robot submarine at the bottom of a dark Scottish lake. And yes, you guessed right, it was part of a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster. The camera was in such good shape that they actually managed to develop a few photos. Sadly, no Nessie. Just murky water and crushed dreams. What does the Loch Ness monster eat? Fish and ships! đ
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, theyâll have more time to focus on the important stuff. Better service, bigger bills. Letâs just hope these lawyers do their due diligence and fact-check the work. 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. Theyâre using iPhone farms (aka groups of phones with rotating Apple IDs) to slip past security filters. If youâve gotten a text saying you need to act fast about an unpaid road toll, shipping fees or taxes, thatâs likely where it came from. Barry texted me, âCall me.â So I called him and said, âText meâ and hung up. I thought it was hilarious! Him not so much.
