You have to hear this one. A Minnesota woman recently got a shocking phone call. Her husband had dirty financial laundry: An unpaid loan from years ago. The caller told her they were putting a lien against their home.
Say cheese: Thanks to the 20-something TikTok crowd, Fujifilm’s retro-themed cameras, like the X100, are selling like hotcakes. They’re such a hit that Fujifilm is struggling to meet demand, even at $1,599 a pop.

You might think electric cars are new. Nope! Who gets credit for inventing the first electric vehicle? This is a tough one. Was it … A.) Thomas Edison in 1893, B.) Nikola Tesla in 1923, C.) Thomas Davenport in 1834 or D.) Karl Benz in 1941?
🍏 Browser showdown: Apple is warning its 1.46 billion iPhone users to stop using Google Chrome. They’re throwing shade by plastering billboards worldwide, with the message Safari is “a browser that is actually private.” Google has admitted to collecting data even when you’ve enabled Incognito mode, so Apple makes a valid point.
Windows 11 = Ad central: First, it was a pop-up ad to install Edge, and then ads showed up in the Start Menu. Now, you’ll see Game Pass under Settings soon. They call them “recommendations” designed to “improve your system.” It’s a money grab, plain and simple.

Remember, when you give info to a company, you’re giving it to their vendors, too.
🚨 Don’t chance it: TeamViewer, the go-to remote access tool, was hacked by Russian spies. The company says the breach was limited to its corporate network, but, hey, I’d assume they accessed customer files, too. If you have it, change your password pronto and set up 2FA.

🛑 Been saying this for years: A new lawsuit claims Chinese app Temu is essentially malware that accesses everything on your phone, from texts to emails, and sells your data to third parties.

American tourists are big targets abroad: You can thank Hollywood stereotypes that paint us all as wealthy. In some countries, you could be robbed, drugged or worse. If you’re traveling, keep your voice down (everyone knows an American accent), ditch USA-branded clothes and if something feels off, get outta there.
