If you’re sitting on a pile of cash sipping mai tais in Bora Bora right now, congratulations (and where’s my invite?). For the rest of us, making a little extra money never hurts.
People ask me all the time for an easy way to rake in the dough. Do those exist? Yes and no.
Many new phones from Google, Samsung and Apple now come with seven years of security fixes and software updates. Just a few years ago, you were lucky to get three years.
If you want to stick to that seven-year upgrade cycle, though, you need to do some smartphone housekeeping along the way.
Not shocked: Google’s AI-generated search results are dishing out some dangerous nonsense. When asked about “cheese not sticking to pizza,” the AI suggested adding glue to the sauce.

How much energy it takes to carry a baby for nine months (paywall link). I never knew this fun fact! Did you? Only 4% of that is for the little one; the other 96% is to support all the work Mom is doing. That equates to 50 pints of ice cream — talk about legen‑dairy.
Mind your AI manners: Saying “please” and “thank you” will get you more detailed and elaborate AI chatbot responses. Why? AI is trained on human interaction patterns.
