How serious do you take your passwords?

There was a time when convenience trumped security for me regarding passwords. I knew I needed to start using a password manager like 1Password and generate passwords that included lower-case/upper-case letters, numbers, and symbols, but I couldn't bring myself to redo all of my account passwords. At least not until a bunch of my streaming accounts got hacked, someone bought $2,000 worth of fast food with my McDonald's account, and roughly $500 of V-Bucks was purchased with my Xbox account -- that changed everything. Now, I don't have a single duplicate password, and 1Password handles all the generation. With World Password Week underway, I'm curious, how seriously do you take your passwords? Are you still using your pet's name? Maybe it's your birthday, and several random letters? Maybe you're like me and got burned one too many times, so you upped your security game. Let us know in the comments below.

Do you say 'please' and 'thank you' to ChatGPT?

I've been using AI tools for far longer than OpenAI released the AI kraken on the world, and I've always been careful to mind my manners. No, it's not because I'm afraid that ChatGPT is going to become our AI overlord someday (please don't -- my packed schedule can't take a Skynet Judgement Day IRL). It's because basic manners have been ingrained in me since I could speak, and it's a force of habit that technology isn't going to take away from me. I also feel like manners, like muscles and habits, can atrophy or fade away if you don't use them consistently in almost all situations. Let's say you are in ChatGPT or Google Gemini all day every day, and you consciously decide to drop all manner-driven phrases for the sake of time and keystrokes -- what if that becomes the habit, and you accidentally write an email to your boss that's all command and no etiquette? No corporation will squeeze the "please" out of me, thank you very much. Do you use manner-driven phrases when you use AI?

Will you be preordering a Nintendo Switch 2 tomorrow at midnight?

We are just over 24 hours away from the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 preorders in North America, and hype is at unprecedented levels for Nintendo's new console. We recently published a quick guide to preordering the console, including live links that lead straight to preorder pages at retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and more. With preorders largely expected to sell out in minutes, staying up late tomorrow night may just be your best shot at being the first to get your hands on the new console when it launches in June, but the Switch 2's high price tag could be a deterrent for some. Will you be preordering the console tomorrow night? Let us know in the comments below
