🔑 Know the secret Amazon code: A woman bought a $600 coat on Amazon. In the pocket, she found house keys and a car fob with an Apple AirTag attached. The AirTag wasn’t in Lost mode, but she tracked down the owner days later. Turns out, that new coat was a return. Prepare to be amazed by this insider tip: You can tell if an item you bought on Amazon was returned if it has a label that starts with “LPN.” Seriously, where else can you get this intel?
Auction price for a super-rare motorcycle. The bright yellow 1915 Cyclone V-Twin is one of only 14 still around today. I bet it’d be fun to ride, but the new owner can’t; it’s for display only, since the Cyclone isn’t cleared for us on roads or highways.
People have died trying to capture the perfect selfie. The most common ways people meet a tragic end? Drowning or falling off a cliff. But sometimes, it’s just not paying attention. A woman just died in Japan because she was so focused on getting the perfect picture, she didn’t see a train coming. No photo is worth your life.
🍏 Party on! I don’t think I need to use Evite anymore. Apple rolled out Invites for iCloud+ subscribers. This all-in-one event planner is the place where you can track RSVPs, set up shared albums, and send everything by text or email. It’s in every plan, from 50GB (99 cents per month) to 12TB ($59.99), plus the Apple One bundle. Sweet.

Google just removed language that said it would not pursue AI applications “likely to cause overall harm,” such as for weapons and surveillance. In other words, Google’s AI is free to do that and more now. Sleep well.
Random Facebook requests always end badly: Just ignore them. Kate Kleinert accepted one from “Tony,” who claimed to be a surgeon working in Iraq. It wasn’t long until Tony needed money, and Kate sent him $40,000. Shocker, the day they were supposed to meet, Tony was a no-show. Kate’s a widow. I know this is tough, but when someone passes away, rethink the need for a public obituary. Scammers target folks in mourning.
More videos posted to LinkedIn than this time last year. Vertical-view videos (think TikTok or Instagram Reels) are so popular, you can now view them on desktop and not just mobile. My advice: Go short and sweet, nothing too scripted. Hiring? Post a job free with my link!
💰 The latest on the TikTok ban: Mr. Wonderful, Larry Ellison, Walmart, and a slew of other people and companies want to buy TikTok. Here’s a twist: President Trump just created a “sovereign wealth fund” good for anything from building airports and highways to writing a check for $100 billion to buy TikTok. Wealthy, smaller countries like Norway and Singapore have them, but this is new for the U.S.
