đ Android got harder to crack: Googleâs rolling out a feature that auto-restarts your locked phone if it hasnât been used in three days.

See if you have it: Go to Settings > Security & privacy > System & updates > Google Play system update. Youâre welcome.

Jean lives in the Midwest. Sheâs smart. Sheâs done well for herself. The kind of woman youâd think could spot a scam a mile away. Btw, thatâs not her picture. Itâs what I envision her looking like after talking to her.

Thatâs how long the workweek just got for some Samsung employees in South Korea.

What, my work life isnât real enough for you? Kidding, great question! You know AI can plan a trip and meals or write a to-do list. But letâs go beyond that.
How much funding a new project called Poolhouse got. The folks behind Topgolf are launching luxury social clubs centered around pool. Think food, drinks and tech like augmented reality.

The cost to live in a one-bedroom, 1,184-square-foot apartment aboard the Ulyssia superyacht. Need something bigger? A penthouse will run you a cool $90 million.
