On an Android-based device, you can quickly swipe to the right on the home button to see all your open apps. Want to close one? Just swipe it off the screen. This is worth doing now and then if you never close your apps.

I used AI recently to write a birthday note, plan a trip to Hong Kong and program my robot. But this tech is still in the infant stages and it has some major blind spots you need to know about.
Ask things like “How many basketballs would you have to stack up to reach the moon?” all day. (It’s 1,595,524,852 by the way.) But when it comes to these four Ps, you’re better off skipping the chatbot.
What powers your business? Maybe you’re thinking of people or technology. For almost all of us, the honest answer is data.
Data is king, from customer information to the files we access daily. Financial records are no exception, and you need the right tools to manage yours correctly.
It started off with a gift: Kids are renting out their spare computer power to AI companies. Not a hard sell, when they’re offering Fortnite skins and Roblox gift cards. Here’s what your kid won’t realize: Their machine is being used to create AI porn, and they’re automatically opted in. Make sure none of the computers in your home are signed up to sites like Salad.
That’s about 10% of the 200 million assignments analyzed. Oh, and about 6 million of those submissions were at least 80% AI-generated. Might be time to bring back the blue book.
Ask Me(ta) anything: Meta just added its AI chatbot to the search bar on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. Ask it anything you’d ask a search engine. Google Search is so dead. Access Meta’s chatbot without logging in at meta.ai.
Check before you travel: A Florida man was hit with a whopping $143,442.74 phone bill from T-Mobile for roaming costs when traveling in Switzerland. He thought he was covered. Nope. They reversed the charges. Pro tip: There’s a $50-per-month T-Mobile travel plan to prevent stuff like this. Most providers have something similar.
🎬 AI love story? TV manufacturer TCL is cooking up the “first-ever fully AI-generated rom-com” called “Next Stop Paris.” The trailer is, um, interesting. Despite the AI claim, they’re using human writers, actors and animators. Sounds like someone really wants investor money.
👨🏻💻 Stay secure: Over 92,000 D-Link network-attached storage devices aren’t safe to use anymore. Models include the DNS-340L, DNS-320L, DNS-327L and DNS-325. They’ve all reached “end-of-life,” meaning they won’t receive further software updates or security patches. If you’ve got a D-Link NAS pushing a decade old, it’s time for an upgrade.
🤖 Work-from-clone: Influencers and business coaches are making “digital clones” to go to Zoom meetings for them. AI clone platforms use clips from podcasts, voice memos and Slack messages to mimic your responses and speech patterns in email or video. Deepak Chopra made one he calls “Digital Deepak.” Spoiler: It’s not very convincing, yet.
