How about something light and fun today? We’ve come a long way from :-) and :-( to express ourselves in texts, emails and other written forms of communication. And more than 10 years since we got lots of the emojis we still use today, some of your faves might be totally out of fashion.
Here’s a shocker for you: With as little as $1,000, a cyber creep can go to the Dark Web and buy your entire identity. That means they get your Social Security number, bank account info and anything else they need to pose as you — or someone you love — online.
💻 Kids having tech tantrums? You’re not alone. A 12-week study points to three winning strategies: 1.) Tell kids how much screen time they have, 2.) Involve kids in activities inspired by their favorite shows, and 3.) Let kids decide on their screen time duration. Been there, done that. Good luck!
📧 Write a hard email in the right tone: This AI tool can transform it for you. Choose from professional, emotional, to the point, easier to read and lots more. FYI, you can do the same thing with any of the AI chatbots, including ChatGPT. Just say, “Rewrite this to sound more …” followed by whatever you need.
Morning news, your way: If you ask Alexa for the news, the default is an NPR briefing. You can change that. Open the Alexa app, then go to More > Settings > News. Options include ABC, Associated Press, Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, among others.
Hello, officer: One of Waze’s best features is coming to Google Maps. Update the app now to get alerts when there’s a police officer on your route. I got pulled over twice in the last 30 days. We’re becoming fast friends.
On the tip of your tongue: Most people don’t know you can use an asterisk in your Google search as a placeholder. For instance, if you type “* me down to the * city,” Google fills in the blanks and gives results for Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City.”
Lowest flight price, guaranteed: When you buy a qualifying ticket, Google Flights monitors the ticket price. If it drops before takeoff, you’ll get the difference. At flights.google.com, select a flight with a rainbow shield icon next to it. Click Book on Google and check the box next to Price Guarantee to accept the terms of service.
📺 Your Chromecast gets updates, too: If you have one, install the Google Home app (iOS and Android), locate your Chromecast in the app, select the device icon and tap the gear. Then, click the three dots in the top right corner and hit Reboot. Pro tip: Make sure you’re connected to the same Wi-Fi network on your phone and the Chromecast.
