Hello on this sunny Saturday, my friend. Let’s start with a little NASA brain teaser. Which of the following was developed as a result of research conducted by NASA? Was it … A.) Memory foam, B.) Velcro, C.) The microwave oven or D.) GPS? Make your best guess, and you’ll find the answer at the end.

📻 Listen up! The weekend means my national radio show is airing all across the country. Find your local station using our super station tool, or search for my last name in your favorite radio streaming app. You’ll learn a ton of stuff not covered in my newsletters!

At any given time, there’s music playing in my house. I have my organizing music, sitting-by-the-pool jams, dinner playlists depending on how we’re feeling, tunes for getting ready … The list goes on.

If you’re a music lover, too, let’s get the bad news out of the way: The tunes you're jamming to in your favorite streaming app are subpar quality. The good news? It's easy to fix that, and I can walk you through it.

Quick note: The options you see listed vary depending on whether or not you're signed up for a premium-level sub. Yes, you have to pay if you want the best of the best. Now, let's get your listening from so-so to superb.

🦈This is so-fish-ticated: “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, wants to crowdsource a TikTok acquisition. It’s pretty ingenious: If just 59% of the 170 million Americans on TikTok wanted in, they could contribute $1,000 each to collectively buy it for $100 billion. I’m just not sure that many Americans have a rack lying around.

Criminals using Wi‑Fi jammers: Police caught an international crime ring staking out marks’ homes. Once the victims left, they used Wi‑Fi jammers to disable the house’s Wi‑Fi and security systems to rob them. A Chilean gang tried to do the same thing to me, and the Phoenix SWAT team even stormed my house! Worth the watch, promise.

👍 Thumbs-up: Scientists invented a robotic thumb that attaches to your hand opposite your natural thumb. With two thumbs on one hand, you can open bottles, peel a banana and even thread a needle — all one-handed. Guess how you control it? By wiggling your toe. Seriously, you gotta see this.

Over-share-enting: Former online influencer babies are all grown up and they want laws to protect kids from parents oversharing online. One woman said when she was nine, her mom posted about her first period online, saying, “My baby girl’s a woman today.” Maybe we need to go back to good old-fashioned baby books.

🤦‍♀️ Neither snow nor rain nor heat (but not fire!): An Amazon driver with hardly a brain opened a garage door, walked through the smoke, left a package inside the burning garage and didn’t bother calling 911. By the time a passerby called three-and-a-half hours later, it took fire departments from 10 surrounding towns to put out the flames. Watch the story here. Unbelievable.

Don’t be fooled: Political deepfakes are everywhere. I’ll tell you how to spot fake junk on social media.

Hello. Is it me you’re looking for?

The answer: A.) Memory foam was developed in the 1970s for seat cushioning and crash protection. Velcro was invented before it was used by NASA, microwave ovens came about from radar technology used during World War II, and GPS wasn’t developed by NASA. Now you’re ready to win “Jeopardy!”

🌝 Did you hear what NASA's new slogan will be once their budget is cut? "NASA: The Sky's the Limit" (I know you space nerds loved that one because I sure did!)

Be the family hero. Incogni now offers a family plan so you and four folks can get wiped off scummy people-search and data-broker sites. Thanks for supporting our sponsors! I’ll see you back here tomorrow with another issue of the best tech newsletter in the USA. — Kim
