This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world. This week, we're looking ahead into 2026 and the tech coming, and that includes the beginning of the end for lithium-ion batteries. I'm Kim Commando for LinkedIn.

Lithium-ion batteries changed everything when they first appeared in 1991.

Suddenly, we could go all day with a single charge on our phones and laptops. Their fatal flaw is fire. If they warp or take an impact, they're more likely to short internally and burn. Ask any firefighter. They'll tell you putting out a lithium-ion battery fire, especially in a car, is impossible. 2026, though, brings a giant step forward. A new generation of solid-state batteries pack more energy into smaller spaces. A car that may get 300 miles on a lithium-ion battery will get 500 with a solid-state battery. And the risk of fire is extremely rare. Sign up for my free newsletter at getkim.com. And now, as promised, drumroll please. Okay, that was pretty lame. Clip from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show.

It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy. Let's be honest. Our personal info is everywhere. Creeps and data brokers are out there scooping up birthdays, social security numbers, political views, medical conditions, you name it. It's not even shocking anymore. But that doesn't mean you have to put up with it. Incogni is my secret weapon when it comes to online privacy. They do the hard work of getting your personal data removed from people's search sites and those shady data brokers. And now they've stepped it up. Incogni's new unlimited plan gives you the power to submit links to specific websites where your info is exposed. Their team works to get it taken down.

We have something really special for you right now on the current podcast. Andrew and I sat down with a woman by the name of Aaliyah Rosa. She's really amazing. She says that she was trained by the KGB when she was just 18 years old to seduce and manipulate targets. She was a spy. but they call it sexpionage. That's right. She calls herself a former Russian sex spy. And now she's sounding the alarm that those same tactics are being used to manipulate people in scams or in Silicon Valley to steal trade secrets from tech executives.
Kim Komando 3:15
It's really an amazing story. Here, just take a listen just a little bit of the interview.
Aaliyah Rosa 3:21
how does one become a russian spy okay so in my situation my father was a high-ranking officer who worked in the military for at least like 35 years and he actually brought me there so he's a you know just to say in the beginning he's a real patriot of the soviet union right um the country which doesn't exist anymore ussr i was born there and so when i came to the department And then I was enrolled to a special program which calls honeypot, honey chopping or success banish.

How will solid-state batteries change the future of electric vehicles?

Aaliyah Rosa 3:59
They actually estimated us through different parameters like the IQ, the ability to survive in unpredictable situations.
Kim Komando 4:11
Wow.
Aaliyah Rosa 4:12
Of course, the appearance as well. And of course, your physical ability, if you would be able to, you know, run for a long time or like do martial arts or whatever.
Kim Komando 4:22
What did the training consist of? What were they teaching you?
