If you need to hang a picture, you don’t need to grab a level — your phone can do it for you.

On an iPhone:

• Open the Measure app, then tap Level on the bottom right.
• The level will appear on the screen and is ready to use.

On an Android:

• Open the Google app or your browser and search for “bubble level.”
• Use it just like you would a normal level, placing it on a surface.

I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.

That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.

Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.

It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that right now, it may be 11 a.m. on a Thursday, while in China, it’s 2 a.m. on Friday. Well, this can get even more complicated when it comes to the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line. Let's take a deep dive to make it a little easier to understand.

Anyone who loves to grow plants knows how annoying weeds can be. Whenever they pop up, you've got to chuck them out of the ground ASAP. Otherwise, your precious crops or flowers could be toast. 💐

It’s an annoying task. What if we automated it? Luckily, inventors are already working on it. Carbon Robotics just released its third-generation Autonomous Weeder, a smart farming robot with 12 cameras that scan the soil. Once its AI-powered computer spots a weed, the robot’s carbon dioxide lasers blast them away. 🤖

Although it's a bit intimidating at first glance, it's a sustainable alternative to chemical herbicides, which kill weeds but contaminate the water and soil. Plus, it can blast away more than 100,000 weeds per hour. You’ve got to see it in action!
