It's December 6, 2021 and National Microwave Oven Day! You're most likely going to use your microwave today, so when you do, remember not to take it for granted. Reheating food quickly has been quite the life changer, hasn't it?  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 208 articles, 3 podcasts, 5 press releases, 117 tweets, and 12 YouTube videos 1. Thieves Use Apple AirTags to Steal Cars People have found a concerning use for Apple's AirTags: car theft. According to reports, suspects place AirTags on high-end vehicles to track them, then steal them when the owner is not around. Great, just what we needed. Keep an eye on your cars, everyone! 2. Facebook Messenger Testing New Split Payments Feature Facebook Messenger is testing a new 'Split Payments' feature that will let you divide payments between your friends and family. According to the announcement, Split Payments aims to make bills and other expenses easier to pay for. Will it work? Hope so. We're tired of doing the math ourselves. 3. Apple and Prince William Team Up for Exclusive Fitness+ Content Apple has announced an exclusive team up with Prince William, grandson of the Queen of England. The prince will narrate an episode of Time to Walk, the popular Apple Watch audio experience that encourages smartwatch owners to stay active. Did, uh, anyone see this coming? No? Didn't think so. 🦑 Go Deeper If you've been on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter recently, you've probably noticed a number of popular creators. Get used to it, because if Allison Murray is to be believed, we should expect to see even more of them in the future. 🎱 By the Numbers Maybe use FaceTime more?  Data: apps2data If you spend a lot of time video chatting with friends/family, you have a few options. But if you're looking to reduce data usage and you own an iPhone, FaceTime seems like the clear choice. Of course, it all comes down to personal preference, so really, use what you want as long as it isn't owned by Meta.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Need a new Xbox controller that's a little more modular? Razer's Wolverine Ultimate controller is one way to go. It's down to $99.99 on Amazon right now, and its remappable buttons and swappable thumbsticks are actual game-changers. 🤓 Nerd Out "Like Mercury, but hotter." —Rob LeFebvre, Senior News Editor In yet another example of how weird and wild our universe is, scientists have just discovered an exoplanet that's roughly 80% iron, and it's so hot that any iron on its surface might be molten. We're guessing its uninhabitable, too. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Should kids have this?  Image: Tesla Not content with selling sedans and SUVs to adults, Tesla now has an electric ATV for kids called the Cyberquad. Recommended for kids 8-years and up, it tops out at 10MPH, can travel 15 miles on a single charge, and has a sorta cool design. Your kids will love getting one... once it's in stock and you have $1,900. 🎧 Listen Up The news doesn't stop!
