Stop paying for things you don’t use

🎶 She’s working 9-to-5: Don’t even think about DMing, texting or calling Dolly Parton. She’s a faxing kind of gal. Dolly says it saves her time and keeps things simple with so many people trying to reach her. Miley Cyrus says Dolly faxed her to ask for a collab. Speaking of … My friend, Joe, recently started the Dolly Parton diet. It’s really made Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe le‑e‑e‑a‑a‑a‑an.

Like Dawn, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&M’s. Super-cool data here showing what brands are most known and most liked. The highest spot for a tech brand is Samsung at No. 5. Apple is super well-known, but only 68% of survey respondents have a positive opinion about the company. I bet the high prices are to blame.

Plateaus are the highest form of flattery: The New York Times is suing geography game Worldle for causing confusion and piggybacking on its hit game, Wordle. Worldle’s creator says many games have similar names — e.g., Quordle, Nerdle and Heardle. (Btw, some people say “crane,” “slate” and “crate” are the best three words to start with for Wordle.)

What could possibly go wrong? An anonymous message board app wreaked havoc at a Vermont high school.

Over the hit Netflix series “Baby Reindeer.” The drama-thriller is based on comedian Richard Gadd’s one-man show about being stalked. Martha Scott says Netflix never fact-checked his story, and the show has exposed her identity and ruined her life.

You’d better love your Cybertruck: There’s a tricky clause in Tesla’s Cybertruck order agreement. Sell it within a year, and they’ll fine you $50,000. They haven’t sued anyone for it yet, but Ford did. It’s to prevent jacking up the price on used models, but what if you hate it?

Don’t leave the baby in the car: Each year, about 40 children die in car-heat-related deaths. Temps inside locked cars can easily reach 150 degrees, and advocates now want all automakers to put tech in cars to prevent these types of deaths. Some Hyundais have an advanced rear-occupant alert system that sends warnings if a baby is left in the car.

From the “whatever” department: Amazon, Google and Best Buy are working on a “hacker-safe” label for smart devices. Scan the QR code for info on your new doorbell or TV, and see if it meets certain cybersecurity standards. The ETA for the label is later this year, but hackers always find a way.
