10 things to look at today

We have headlines. We have deals. We have secrets Apple isn’t telling you about. Let’s get through it.

Google Settings You’re Ignoring

7 Lesser-Known Google Account Changes. Stop scrolling and actually fix your recovery settings. Also? Ad personalization. And whatever you are letting strangers see on your public profile. Change it. Now.

Your privacy settings aren’t private by default. They are default.

NASA’s Free Photo Library

Space looks better in high res. Where to find it: NASA posts decades of stars, moons, planets, galaxies. Most are free to share. Take them. They belong to everyone now.

iOS 27 Hits

Apple pulled back the curtain at WWDC 27. iOS 27 is here. The big news? Siri gets smarter. Not just a voice assistant, something better. iPadOS gets the same treatment. Upgrade if you dare.

Engineering ChatGPT

Anyone can type into a bot. That’s easy. Boring. You want interesting results? You have to engineer your prompts. Smart inputs equal smart outputs. It’s not magic, it’s technique. Try it.

WhatsApp Usernames

Phone numbers are out. Usernames are in. WhatsApp is adding them soon. Reserve yours. Even if you barely use the app. It’s about privacy, not chatting. Stop handing out your number like candy.

Linking Text

Ever wanted to send someone just a sentence? Modern browsers can do this. Generate a link that jumps straight to a specific phrase. Highlight it. Share the link. No scrolling required. Efficient, really.

Deals & Discounts

Surfshark. July 2026 promo. Save up to 87%. Get 3 months of free VPN. Why? Because privacy shouldn’t cost your whole salary.

1Password. Save 28% on business or personal plans. Another July deal. Use a promo code. Passwords matter, but your wallet matters too.

Amazon Fire TV Stick. The 4K Max model is nearly half off. Cheap streaming. Perfect if you live in the Prime Video ecosystem. Don’t overpay for hardware you don’t need.

The Accidental Dumb Phone

Here’s the real hack. Apple built a tool for cognitive accessibility. Nobody talks about it as a kids’ feature. I stumbled onto it. Turns out, it makes an iPhone into the perfect dumb phone for a child. Safe. Limited. Effective. Apple doesn’t shout this out. You have to dig for it.

The Whole Picture

Everything Apple announced at WWDC 27 today. Souped-up Siri. iOS upgrades. And hints that Google AI is actually powering some of this. Odd partnership. Weird tech. But there it is.

So. Do you update? Do you hide?

Sometimes the best features are the ones buried under “accessibility” menus.
