đŸȘ€ If you want to get super nerdy: This Windows PowerToys upgrade displays keyboard shortcuts right on your screen so you can learn more. Neat-o!

Cleanup time: Look around. Do you see USB or other charging cables starting to fray? Toss them. You’re just asking for trouble — specifically, a fire. The Apple Lightning cable and Amazon Basics USB-C cable are both solid options.

Excellent price, excellent audio: You don’t have to spend $200 or more for high-quality earbuds. Rayconshave studio-quality sound, 32 hours of battery life, and they fit comfortably in every ear with precise fittings. Grab ‘em for 15% off and free shipping right now at BuyRaycon.com/kim. They come with a 30-day happiness guarantee, too!

đŸ‘Ș For the next group pic: Don’t be that person who takes one photo and calls it good. You know at least one person’s eyes will be closed. Instead, be the hero and hold down your phone’s camera button. It’ll take a ton of pics in quick succession, giving you a much higher chance for a crowd-pleasing shot.

Calling all tech nerds: In Chrome, you can access experimental or beta features. In the address bar, type chrome://flags and hit Enter. Scroll through and see if any catch your eye.

Drip-drop: Google’s latest Pixel feature drop is here, bringing Gemini Nano AI to Pixel 8 and Pixel 8A users. Update if you have a new Pixel! So far, they’ve said Nano AI will summarize voice recordings and then export them to Google Docs. Cool but, uh, what else?

📖 Looking for summer reading material? Whoa, you have to check out this list: “Amazon’s Best Books in 2024 So Far.” I ordered “James” and “All the Worst Humans.” There truly is something for everyone here. Reading is such a novel idea!

Protect yourself: Medical identity theft victims often don’t realize something is wrong until it’s too late. I recommend you store hard copies of medical records and documents with personal identification information in a safe or lockbox.

Share Prime with anyone in your home: Sign into Amazon, hover over Account & Lists, and select Account. Tap the Prime button and then Update, cancel and more. Under Membership Sharing, select Manage your household and follow the onscreen instructions. Free 30-day here, if ya need one.

Website detective: You can use this IP address tool to look up any URL. Click the IP address when it’s brought up to see where it’s located. Look for suspicious signs, like an American business with an IP address from somewhere overseas that just doesn’t make sense.
