An Amazon Tale: Fake agents, leaked cart deets, and the OTP chase
Somehow, fraudsters are sourcing knowledge of your order deliveries. They’re using it to phish one-time passwords (OTP) from unsuspecting customers while acting as Amazon executives.
The Last Koo: Desi social coop chirped with oopsies and died poor
Koo, once hailed as India’s great Twitter replacement, apparently borrowed the worst of Twitter, except its money-making formula. After a short life, it folded in 2024, killing the great Indian dream of a desi social media phenomenon.
Meta served a “pay us or sell out” deal for social media. The EU is now up its trunk.
Meta's ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram have royally pissed the European regulators once again, and the fine could be 10% of its annual revenue. Are you not entertained?
Twitter likes are gone. How do we nab our horny old politician now?
You can no longer see what a person has liked on Twitter. Now, we don’t support stalking exes. But humanity deserves a tool to expose saintly politicians simping for busty OF stars.
Apple now owns Godzilla, too!
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, Apple is the new video streaming behemoth on the block. Shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Prehistoric Planet, and Foundation (must watch!!!) are already the talk of the town and winning awards.
The company recently ordered a Lionel Messi film to its pipeline. This happened merely days after the football wizard signed up with an American club and started scoring goals like a machine, while the matches are streamed on Apple’s platform.
You can now add Godzilla to the list of Apple entertainment properties, too!

Google Search will spoon-feed you long articles as a short summary
Everyone in the tech industry has gone mad over AI. Google, the lord of our entire digital existence, is no exception. The latest from its lab is a new feature called “SGE while browsing,” which presents a short summarized version of a long, complex article. Here’s how Google describes it:
“On some web pages you visit, you can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page. We’ll also help you dig deeper with “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.”
Here’s the feature in action:
The feature is rolling out inside the Google app for Android and iOS. It will soon arrive on Chrome for desktop, too. However, it’s an experimental feature, and can be enabled after you sign up for the Google Labs. Unfortunately, Google Labs is currently limited to the US market, and there is no timeline for an international expansion.
