"When flight instructor and former commercial airline pilot Jon Kotwicki happened upon a DC-6 air freighter for sale in 2022, he knew it was the perfect plane to transform into an overnight rental … Built in 1956, the 117-foot-wide, 108-foot-long cargo plane had spent its days carrying freight and fuel to remote villages in Alaska before retiring from flight. Now it sits on Kotwicki's 115-acre property in Big Lake, Alaska, as a two-bedroom, one-bath Airbnb unit. It's also used by students at Kotwicki's FLY8MA flight school, which he runs onsite."

"In a blog post from Google, the company said Quick Share, the Android equivalent of AirDrop, can now send files via Bluetooth to an iPhone just like it can between two Android devices. The same goes the other way, too; iOS users can now AirDrop to Android devices by discovering the device as they normally would on their iPhones. They both just … work now. There is one slight catch at this juncture in time, and that's the fact that only Google Pixel 10 owners have this ability for the time being. Google says it plans to bring the functionality to other Android devices in the future — that is, if Apple doesn't have a total meltdown first."

"AI companion toys are having their moral panic moment. News stories and a consumer watchdog report released last month documented the horrors: AI stuffies marketed to kindergartners that discuss suicide, explain how to find and light matches, offer step-by-step instructions for tying up a lover. The GUARD Act, a bipartisan Senate bill that would ban chatbot companions for minors entirely, just picked up seven new cosponsors. … Take Grimes' stated motivation for designing a line of AI plushbots she created with Silicon Valley startup Curio. 'I obviously don't want my kids in front of screens,' she said. 'I really feel like this is also the first step towards reducing screen time as much as humanly possible.'"

"A volcano in Ethiopia's north-eastern region has erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, sending thick plumes of smoke up to 9 miles (14km) into the sky, and across the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman. The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in Ethiopia's Afar region about 500 miles north-east of Addis Ababa near the Eritrean border, erupted for several hours. A local official, Mohammed Seid, said there were no casualties, but the eruption could have economic implications for the local community of livestock herders. Seid said there was no previous record of an eruption by the Hayli Gubbi volcano, and that he fears for the livelihoods of residents."
