Everything’s bigger in Texas: A San Antonio man listed a Stealth Bomber aircraft on Facebook Marketplace for $2.9 million. The description includes, “Don’t ask me how I got it” and “You couldn’t imagine the hoops I had to jump through to get this.” The Air Force confirmed the post is, of course, bogus.

$214.53 per person

To charter an Uber Yacht in Ibiza. Yeah, seriously. Starting July 26, Ibiza travelers can prebook a yacht for up to eight people, which includes pick-up and drop-off, use of a personal skipper, champagne, snacks, and goodie bags. Uber will launch “limo boats” in Venice and Greece later this month.

How to spot AI: A new study shows AI tends to overuse specific words, making it easier to detect. “Delves,” “underscores” and “showcasing” are a few “less common” words now increasing in popularity since we all got our hands on chatbots. Delete them from your work!

You sweep me off my feet: The classic puzzle game Minesweeper is now on Netflix. This colorful, reimagined version features an ocean-like setting where you find underwater mines in locations around the world. No in-game ads, no in-app purchases and no extra cost to play. Check out the trailer here.

🤑 The check is in the mail: Payments are on the way for folks who bought a MacBook between 2015 and 2019 with a defective butterfly keyboard. If you filed a claim, you’ll get $50 to $395 soon. Woohoo!

Get your head out of your apps: America’s first smart highway is coming to Interstate 94 in Michigan. This three-mile stretch will have sensors and cameras to alert drivers of traffic jams, accidents and obstacles. The tech will connect to most modern cars with built-in navigation features. No one’s talking about data tracking.

No more free web browsers: Most lack the essential security businesses need, and app integration generally stinks. Enter the new genre of enterprise browsers (paywall link), built to be secure and productive. You’ll have to pay to play, of course. If you have a biz, it’s something to consider. It might even reduce your cyber-insurance costs.

6% of your paycheck

The latest default 401(k) contribution. Companies auto-enroll employees at twice the rate they did a decade ago to encourage more people to save (paywall link). It’s working: Last year, the average employee saved almost 12% of their pay in a 401(k), an all-time high. 

🚫 NSFW ads on YouTube: A Redditor spotted ads for a p*rn game. Somehow even worse, the sketchy footage was stolen from a different p*rn game. Talk to the kids about not clicking these ads. Funny how YouTube is slow to remove this kind of garbage but quick to disable ad blockers. Priorities, eh?
