Last month, a group of skaters in LA captured this video of a Waymo driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid hitting them. Waymo says it was the safest option. How would you feel if Waymo decided a head-on collision with your car was the best decision?
New term to know: Photocatalytic. Chemists came up with a special paint that cleans itself. For the nerds: When UV light hits the surface, titanium oxide nanoparticles will jump-start a reaction that breaks down junk and pollutants. This could be a game-changer for buildings painted in light colors. Share this with your friends who will be amazed at your good looks and intellect.
The age of the oldest Daytime Emmy winner ever, Dick Van Dyke. He was a guest on “Days of Our Lives.” When asked about the big win, he said, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!” Love him.
Compared to pre-pandemic times. That’s what HP boss Enrique Lores told investors. Yeah, things aren’t pretty in the print hardware division; revenues have been down nine quarters in a row.
#BlueCollar: That’s the hashtag Gen Z influencers are using to show young Americans that blue-collar jobs can be a goldmine. Take construction gigs, which pay newbies more than entry-level accounting jobs — and minus the student debt. They’re not giving out this knowledge just to be nice; electrician Lexis Czumak-Abreu rakes in $200,000 a year from clicks and brand deals alone.
Not banking on this: A creative 53-year-old man used an iPad to rob a bank in Las Vegas, showing a note on his tablet that read, “I am heavily armed.” No joke, his first attempt (the day before) was foiled after someone activated a silent alarm. His iPad trick worked, and he got away with nearly $1,000 in cash … before police arrested him.
Watch out, dieters: A diabetic woman nearly died after buying fake Ozempic online. It turned out to be an insulin pen, which can cause diabetic shock if misused. Scammers are peddling “weight loss” drugs on websites and social media, luring buyers with phony reviews, no prescriptions and crypto discounts. Do not buy it, please.
Oh, snap: TJX, the parent company of T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls, is strapping body cameras on employees. After a year of testing, they’re hoping the cams stop shoplifters. They say only law enforcement or legal reps with a subpoena can view the footage.
He seemed really animated: Your next interview might be with an avatar (that looks like Harry Potter). AI recruitment company micro1 says customers are using it to screen up to 30,000 candidates a month. My advice: Stick to the facts and your skillset; jokes won’t go far with a bot.
✈️ Think before you post: Scammers on X are posing as major airlines like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. They target folks who tag the airlines, offering fake customer service via comments or direct messages. The links they send take you to dodgy sites designed to steal your personal info. If they ask for your number, nope. Blocked.
