You're giving away all your data for that free email account 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. Go to StartMail.com/Kim today for a seven-day free trial and 50% off your first year. → |
AND FINALLY ... Ready to be blown away by the power of technological innovation? A man who was paralyzed below the neck after an injury in 2007 was able to write again, using just his mind. Researchers at Standford University used AI software and a tiny microchip implant in the man’s brain to accomplish the feat. He imagined he was writing on a notepad, and the connected computer converted his thoughts into text. “We had no idea someone who had never moved his hands for 10 years, if you asked him to write, what his brain would do,” Dr. Frank Willett, study author and neuroscientist at Stanford, told USA Today. “It shows these fine dexterous (movements) still evoke rich patterns of brain activity that we can use.” Just think of the possibilities. Really amazing stuff. Did you catch Elon Musk’s video game-playing primate? Watch him playing Pong with just his mind. |
