Stop using the buttons on your Echo: Instead, say, “Alexa, volume up” to increase the volume slightly or “Volume down” to make it quieter. You can also say, “Alexa, turn the volume to five” for more precise control. Choose a number from one to 10. Another great commando? “Alexa, play The Kim Komando Show.”

I’m not an artist. My brain just does not work that way. I tried to learn Photoshop but gave up. Now, I create fun images using AI — like the potato at the bottom of today’s newsletter.
Some AI tech is kind of freaky (like this brain-powered robot), but many of the new AI tools out there are just plain fun. The ones I found for you below are awesome to try and free!

Boy robot: When 12-year-old Howard had to miss months of school for chemotherapy, a nonprofit gifted him a robot stand-in. Now, “AI Howard” sits in classes for him so the real Howard can learn and socialize. His friends even carry the bot between classes! I just love it.

Joe Gow and his wife Carmen are facing backlash after Joe’s employer, a university, found the couples’ OnlyFans account. His tenure is at risk, but he’s not giving up just yet.
🦟 Mosquitoes suck: Try the Weather Channel app’s new mosquito forecast that analyzes weather info and real-world mosquito data to predict activity by ZIP code. Download the app (iPhone and Android) > add a ZIP code > tap Daily at the bottom of the screen > and scroll down. OK, now I’m itchy.
⚠️ Keep it real: More folks than ever are trying out AI companionship. You create your dream partner, and the bot finetunes its responses to match your exact needs. But this sets you up for IRL failure; real people aren’t instantly available, and they def won’t do or say everything you want.
