Through its focus on local selling, Facebook Marketplace has become the world's biggest digital garage sale, but without tables to browse and friendly small talk. Getting what you want, whether it's finding those low-priced gems or getting a good price for your old blender, comes down to understanding how both the platform and its users work. You can't treat it like an old-school classifieds page and hope for the best; you need tactics. Here are 10 strategic hacks to navigate the chaos, outsmart the feed, and get the best deals on both sides of the transaction. Download Google Lens, the most important app for both buyers and sellers Whether you're a buyer or a seller, you should download and use Google Lens . This scans a photograph, identifies the item pictured, and spits out all kinds of info about it, including prices from new and second-hand sales.

I often tell people to think of VPNs like kitchen funnels. Instead of pouring your network traffic directly into the web and spilling your metadata everywhere, you push it down a narrow tube of encryption. You point your connection exactly where it needs to go without leaking all over the place. Of course, the assumption in such an arrangement is that you trust your VPN, which controls the flow of traffic from your device to the web. But if the VPN itself is a honeypot for attackers to pry away your data, you’ve just traded several possible security risks for one guaranteed security breach.  According to the team at Socket , that’s what’s been happening with over seven hundred fake VPN apps listed on the Chrome Web Store. Many of these extensions are free, some are paid, and some even pretend to be from trusted cybersecurity providers to lure users into handing over unrestricted access to their network and browser. This weekend, I dug through Socket...

Recently, the Amazon-owned Twitch made headlines for announcing that it would allow users to opt out of having their streams, VODs, and chats fed into an AI training machine. This, understandably, made a lot of people upset . But, it turns out, Twitch might be one of the more moderate social media sites on this front. Most social media apps are training some kind of AI on your data, and few make it as easy as a single toggle to opt out at all. Almost every social media site out there makes it extremely hard to know exactly how your data is used these days. Training generative AI models like Google’s Gemini are often lumped in with more mundane (but still machine learning-powered) features like, say, YouTube’s algorithm. Sifting through privacy policies to even find out whether a social app contributes to the kind of generative AI that’s proven so controversial is an undertaking that would deter most lawyers. Even if you find out how your data’s being used, many...
