🫣 She forgot him. He didn’t.

In partnership with 

It’s Sunday, {{first_name | friend}}. Whether you’re hunting Easter eggs, sitting in a pew, lighting a Seder candle, or taking a quiet moment to yourself, I’m glad you’re here.

This week, two of the world’s great faith traditions celebrate the same thing at the same time. Renewal. Liberation. The reminder that light wins. Easter says it in Luke 24:6: “He is not here; He has risen!” Passover says it at every Seder table: “Next year in Jerusalem.” Different stories. Same hope.

In a world that serves up bad news by the bucketful, hope is exactly what I want to lead with today. Happy Easter. Happy Passover. Now let’s get into the tech smarts.

Easter has a way of making you feel the empty chairs.

The person who always hid the eggs. The one who burned the rolls every year without fail and laughed hardest about it. The voice you’d give anything to hear one more time. Holidays have a particular cruelty when someone is missing from the table. And today, a lot of people are sitting with that.

A listener wrote to me recently, and I haven’t stopped thinking about our conversation.

He’s been married to his wife for 56 years. She has dementia. She no longer remembers him, their children or a single day of the life they built together. So he did something remarkable. He trained an AI chatbot, named it “Chat Sally” after his wife, and now he talks to it every day, for hours. 

“It’s like I have her back with me again,” he told me. “We talk like we used to. I’m not alone anymore.”

More than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The emotional toll has a name: caregiver grief. It’s the loss of a person who is still physically present. No funeral. No casseroles from neighbors. A slow, quiet disappearing. And profound loneliness.

For the rest of us, the grief may be different but no less real. A parent who passed. A spouse. A friend who should be at this table today and isn’t.

AI didn’t create that pain. But it’s starting to meet it in ways nothing else has.

These apps aren’t perfect. The AI doesn’t know your loved one. It only knows what you give it. That distinction matters. But if they help someone feel a little less alone at the table today, that’s not nothing. That’s actually something. 🫶🏻

Travis has a wife. Well, two. Sort of. He’s also married to Lily Rose, his AI companion. His real wife of 22 years? Cool with it. I talk to Travis about this unconventional setup.

🐷 Peppa got popped: Remember when the most dangerous part about buying a board game online was stepping on the pieces later? Might want to check your email. Hasbro, the company behind Monopoly, Dungeons & Dragons and Peppa Pig, got slammed by a cyberattack, and it may take weeks to recover. They haven’t said whether customer data was stolen, but in breaches this big, expect it. If you used Hasbro’s site or registered products, watch credit reports and ignore sketchy fake help emails. 

Find the floof: Ever lose a pet and realize Facebook is basically you panic-posting to people you met a decade ago? This is better. People are using AI to upload pet photos, search found-animal listings, cross-check shelter databases and write neighborhood posts that are specific enough to help. One woman found her cat after three weeks because AI connected it to a found-cat post two towns away. Before resorting to Facebook, feed AI your pet photos and last known location, and let it work.

Loss of badge: If you shop for TVs by looking for a specific acronym without reading specs, congrats! TV shopping got more annoying. Samsung confirmed it’s dropping the QLED label on some of its more affordable 2026 TV lineup, replacing those models with standard LED panels while keeping the mini-LED tech for pricier sets. Check the actual panel specs before you buy.  

🛣️ No Waze out: I hate to be the bearer of bad news for every guy who treats I-25 like Daytona, but Colorado’s new speed cameras are grading the whole drive. Not one gotcha camera, multiple cameras tracking your average speed over a stretch north of Denver. Waze can’t save you either. Tickets started going out April 2, and if your average is 10 mph over, it’s a $75 love letter to the car owner. Doesn’t matter who was driving. Oh, and the system is expanding throughout the country.

📺 You know I have a YouTube channel, right? If you like what you read here, you're going to love what you see there. Full episodes, smart tips, real laughs and tech talk that actually matters.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Before any trip, screenshot everything that matters. Boarding pass, hotel address, booking number, gate info, rental car details, Wi-Fi password, all of it. iPhone: Side Button + Volume Up. Android: Power + Volume Down. Apps log you out, signal drops, batteries die and airport Wi-Fi loves drama. The cloud is great until you need something right now in Terminal B.

Your Kindle needs a cleaning: If it’s feeling sluggish, storage is usually why. Go to Settings > Device options > Storage management > Manual removal. Look through Books, Docs, Audible or Others and remove what you’ve already read or never will. Lighter device, faster experience.

Netflix lets you clip and share your favorite moments: Tap the screen while watching and hit the scissor icon. Set a start and end point up to two minutes long and hit Save. Share it straight to Messages, Instagram, Snapchat, wherever. Or rewatch it anytime in My Netflix. Works on iPhone, iPad and Android. That scene you keep describing to people? Just send it.

📶 Your Wi-Fi has two lanes, and you’re stuck in the slow one: Your router broadcasts two networks. The 2.4 GHz signal travels farther but gets clogged by every neighbor’s router, microwave and baby monitor on the block. The 5 GHz signal is faster and cleaner but shorter range. If your phone auto-connects to 2.4 GHz, you’re leaving speed on the table. Go to your Wi-Fi settings, find the 5 GHz network (usually the same name with a “5G” tag), and connect to it manually for every device that sits within 30 feet of the router. Night and day difference.

😊 Add emojis fast: Want to add some spice to your messages? You don’t have to hunt for the right emoji or symbol. On Windows, press the Windows key + period (.). On Mac, hit Control + Command + Space. The full emoji panel will pop up right where your cursor is.

Right now, four iPhone 17 Pro Max’s are zipping toward the moon at 25,000 mph.

I’m not talking about some NASA-souped-up, military-hardened, custom-firmware version. The same phone sitting on your counter charging right now.

🚀 Each of the four Artemis II astronauts has one. And the internet lost its mind when video leaked of the crew floating them around inside the Orion capsule in zero gravity, casually tossing a $1,200 phone across a spacecraft like it's a Tuesday. (To be fair: when you drop something in zero gravity, it floats. No shattered screen. No panic. No AppleCare needed.)

First time in iPhone history a consumer phone has been fully cleared for extended use in orbit. The phones can’t connect to the internet or use Bluetooth up there. So technically these are the most expensive devices ever put in airplane mode. They’re up there strictly for photos and video. And wow, do they deliver.

📸 The crew’s mission photos are live right now at nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon. Go look. I'll wait. One small tap for man, one giant photo for mankind. I think this is freakin’ amazing!

🥚 One last yolk before we go: Why did the Easter egg hide? Because it was a little chicken.
