There’s a lot to look at, watch, and listen to on the web. Fully utilizing the bookmarks feature in Google Chrome can be a real help in staying on top of everything.

How to manage your bookmarks in Google Chrome
Chrome is the browser I use most often, and I’ve got a huge number of bookmarked sites inside it: long reads I want to get back to once work is done, news updates to write up for work, gift ideas, apps I’d like to check out, important Slack channels, and content systems for my job… the list goes on. All synced between devices and available everywhere.
If you haven’t done a deep dive into Chrome’s bookmarks feature then you might not be aware of everything you can do with it, how it can save you time, and how you can bring some kind of order to your web browsing.
The star icon to the right of the address bar in Chrome on the desktop is for saving new bookmarks. Click it and the current page gets saved to the most recently used bookmarks folder. You can also press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Cmd+D (macOS), which is even easier. On mobile, tap the three dots at the top then the star icon (Android), or the three dots at the bottom then Add to bookmarks (iOS) to save the current page as a new bookmark.
As soon as a bookmark is saved, a small dialog pops up. You can use it to change the bookmark name and folder if you need to, or just click Done to move on.
More options can be found on the desktop by clicking the three dots (top right) then Bookmarks and lists. You’re able to add bookmarks from this menu, too, and there’s also a Bookmark all tabs option, which saves every open tab (which, like tab groups, is handy if you need to do something else but want to be able to get back to where you are).
On the same Bookmarks and lists menu you can toggle the bookmarks bar on and off. The bookmarks bar sits just below the address bar, and gives you another way to add bookmarks: drag the URL of the site you’re viewing down from the address bar to the bookmarks bar.
Bookmarks become a lot more useful when they’re well organized. On the desktop you can launch the full bookmarks manager by clicking Bookmarks on the bookmarks bar, or by clicking the three dots (top right) and then Bookmarks and Lists > Bookmark Manager. You can search through your bookmarks here, and create new folders: Click the three dots (top right), then Add new folder — and yes, you can put folders inside other folders. (This is also where you’ll find the Export feature, and it’s a good idea to export your bookmarks occasionally as a backup.)
Folders are a key part of keeping your bookmarks organized, and they’re all accessible on the left of the bookmarks manager page. Click and drag bookmarks to change their order, or to move them into different folders. Right-click on a folder to rename or delete it, or drag it on top of another folder to put it inside that folder.
You can double-click any bookmark to open it. To edit it, click the three dots to the right: You’re able to rename your bookmarks and change their URLs, as well as put them in different folders. If you right-click on a bookmarks folder, you get the option to open all the links it contains in separate tabs — which may not do your computer much good if there are dozens or hundreds of bookmarks in the folder.
The bookmark manager can be accessed on mobile too, though you don’t get quite as many options to play around with. Tap the three dots at the top (Android) or bottom (iOS) of the interface, then choose Bookmarks to see the list. As long as you’re signed in with your Google account, bookmarks will sync between your devices.
Doing more with bookmarks
There are other ways to work with your bookmarks in Chrome.
- Here’s a clever trick for your desktop bookmarks bar: right-click on each bookmark in turn, remove the text in the Name field completely each time, and click Save. You’ll then have a compact row of bookmark icons showing only the favicons for each site (such as a purple V for The Verge). It’s a neat way to put more bookmarks within each reach, and you can still tell what each one is.
- Something else you might want to try is to search through your bookmarks directly from the address bar. You may see some bookmark results suggested underneath as you type out your search query, and you can also force a bookmarks search by preceding your query with “@bookmarks” and a space.
- If you want to keep bookmarks visible at all times, that’s possible too. Click the three dots in Chrome for the desktop, then choose Bookmarks and lists > Show all bookmarks. A side panel appears displaying all your bookmarks: You can search through them, create new folders, and edit your bookmarks from here (click the three dots to the side).
- The icons in the top right corner, from left to right, let you change the order of the bookmark lists, switch between compact and visual views, and edit multiple bookmarks at once. You can shut down the panel with the X button, but if you click the pin button just next to it before you do, you get a dedicated bookmarks panel icon that stays permanently available on the Chrome toolbar, and will let you open it back up again.
This has hopefully given you some idea of what you can do with bookmarks in Google Chrome. And there’s more, so it might be worth it to take some time and look around. It’s not the most sophisticated of systems, but it does give you plenty of flexibility in terms of how you can use it and what’s possible, so you can get your folders and shortcuts set up in the ways that work best for you.
Its name might be dull and uninspired, but the Philips 24B2D5300 Business Monitor brings a novel feature I’ve never seen on a display before: screens on either side. The design will primarily benefit people who are constantly angling their computer screen so those on both sides of a desk can see it, like a car salesperson walking a buyer through configuration options or a doctor conferring with a patient. But there are some potential co-working applications, too.
Featuring back-to-back 23.8-inch LCD panels with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 120 Hz, the monitor can be connected to one or multiple devices using either a pair of power-delivering USB-C ports, or a pair of HDMI ports. In most scenarios it will be connected to a single computer with the same thing mirrored on both sides, but the dual displays can also be used as two extended displays with one side showing public-facing info and the other for private details. Repositioning the monitor could be tricky since it can’t be mounted to an articulated arm, but its base swivels 180-degrees so you can still spin it around to easily double-check what’s displayed on the other side.

AMAZON RECALL TEXT SCAM COMES WITH RED FLAGS
Cybersecurity experts warn consumers not to click payment links or call phone numbers listed in suspicious billing emails claiming urgent charges or subscriptions. (David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
First red flag: It doesn’t even use your name
The email is addressed to a generic recipient. There is no real personalization.
Legit companies almost always use your name if you have an account. They also reference past activity. This email does neither.
That tells you one thing. It was sent in bulk to thousands of people, hoping someone bites.
Second red flag: Too many companies in one email
This message mentions:
- Geek Squad
- QuickTax Billing
- Razorpay
That mix makes no sense. Geek Squad is tied to Best Buy. Razorpay is a payment processor based in India. “QuickTax Billing” is vague and not a known consumer brand in this context.
Real billing emails stay consistent. One company. One system. Clear branding. Scammers often mash names together to sound legitimate.
Third red flag: The fake urgency trap
The email says your account will be charged within 48 hours. That line is doing all the heavy lifting.
It creates pressure. It makes you feel like you need to act now. That is how people get pushed into clicking the payment button.
Legitimate subscriptions do not work this way. You do not get a random warning and a demand to pay through a new link.
Fourth red flag: The ‘Proceed to Pay’ button
The email asks you to complete your first transaction. That isn’t how subscriptions work. If you signed up, payment would already be processed.
This button likely leads to one of two things:
- A fake payment page that steals your card details
- A phishing site that collects your personal information
Either way, clicking it puts you at risk.
Fifth red flag: Strange wording and formatting
There are small details that matter:
- Random German word “Rechnung” appears in the invoice
- Awkward spacing and underscores show up in the text
- The tone feels off and inconsistent
These are signs of a template that has been reused and poorly edited. Real companies do not send billing emails like this.
Sixth red flag: The phone number
The email includes a support number with the (813) area code. This is a common scam tactic.
If you call, the scammer may:
- Pretend to cancel the charge
- Ask for remote access to your computer
- Walk you through a fake refund process
That “refund” process is where victims lose money.
Is the Razorpay email legit or part of a scam?
The email shows it came from subscriptions@razorpay.com. That sounds legitimate. Razorpay is a real payment platform. But here is the catch.
Scammers often abuse real services to send emails. They create accounts and send fake invoices through them. That makes the message look more credible.
So yes, Razorpay is real. This email is still a scam.
What Razorpay says about this scam email
Razorpay says the account tied to this email was never capable of processing real payments.
“Our preliminary review indicates that this merchant account was in test mode and not activated for live transactions on Razorpay. Payments cannot be processed in test mode, and any such transaction would not have gone through. The account was operating within a limited test environment (with a capped request limit) and has since been identified and disabled immediately. Razorpay has strict risk checks and compliance processes in place to detect and act against such misuse. We continue to monitor proactively and take swift action against any attempts to abuse the platform.”
While that may sound reassuring, it does not make the email harmless. Scammers are not relying on the payment itself to go through. They are using familiar branding to make the message feel legitimate. That credibility is what pushes people to click the “Proceed to Pay” button or call the phone number, where the real scam begins. In many cases, victims who call are pressured into sharing personal information or giving remote access to their devices. Others may be redirected to a different payment method outside the platform. The goal is to get you to click or call so the scam can move forward.
Why are you getting this scam email?
There is no special reason. This type of scam is sent to massive lists of email addresses. Some are scraped online. Others come from past data breaches.
The scammers are not targeting you personally. They are playing a numbers game. All they need is a small percentage of people to respond.
We reached out to Razorpay and Best Buy, which owns Geek Squad, for comment, but did not hear back before our deadline.
IS THAT TRAFFIC TICKET TEXT A SCAM OR REAL?

What this Geek Squad billing scam is trying to do
There are two main goals:
- Get you to click the payment link
- Get you to call the number
Both paths lead to the same outcome. They want your money or your personal data. The $489 price isn’t random. It is high enough to scare you. It is also believable enough to feel real.
What you can learn from this scam email
This email checks almost every classic scam box:
- Unexpected charge
- Urgency
- Confusing branding
- Payment link
- Support number
Once you know the pattern, you start to see it everywhere.
Ways to stay safe from billing scam emails
Start with a simple rule. Never act directly from the email.
Instead:
- Go to the company’s official website yourself
- Log into your account and check for charges
- Ignore phone numbers listed in suspicious emails
Also:
- Do not click payment links you did not expect
- Do not download attachments from unknown senders
- Mark these emails as spam to train your inbox
Watch for warning signs:
- Check the sender’s full email address, not just the display name
- Look for generic greetings or missing personal details
- Be cautious of urgent language pushing you to act fast
Protect your information:
- Never give remote access to your computer to someone who contacts you unexpectedly
- Do not share passwords, verification codes or banking details over the phone or email
- Consider using a data removal service to limit how much of your personal information is exposed online, which can reduce your risk of being targeted by scams like this. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com
If you already clicked or responded:
- Contact your bank or credit card company right away
- Change your passwords, especially for email and financial accounts, and consider using a password manager to create and store strong, unique passwords. Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2026 at CyberGuy.com
- Use strong antivirus software to scan your device and remove any potential threats
If you are unsure, pause. Scammers rely on speed. You protect yourself by slowing down.

Kurt’s key takeaways
This email looks convincing at a glance. It uses real brand names and a polished layout. That is what makes it dangerous. But when you read it carefully, it falls apart. No name. Conflicting companies. Pressure to pay. Strange formatting. Those details matter. The more familiar you are with these tactics, the harder it becomes for scammers to trick you.
If a message can look this real and still be fake, how confident are you that the next one in your inbox is safe? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

The SpaceX IPO is here, and it’s more than just an historic public offering that could make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. It also reveals more ways in which Elon Musk’s companies interact and overlap with each other, shuffling money around in ways that are often difficult to keep track of.
This is evident in ways that are both obvious and less so. A CTRL-F search for “Tesla” yields 87 results, xAI is mentioned 356 times, and X 267 times. Even the Boring Company (7 times) and Neuralink (3) get a few mentions. Throughout its 330 pages of rocket launches and interplanetary wishes, you can trace the network of ways in which Musk’s companies deal with each other.
It’s also evident in the ways Musk’s companies are shareholders in other Musk companies, further intertwining their fates in the process. Based on the Form S-1 filing, Tesla owns nearly 19 million shares of SpaceX’s Class A common stock, which is less than 1 percent of the total outstanding stock. Tesla’s stake in xAI was converted to SpaceX shares after Elon Musk merged his AI company with his space company in February.
The filing also reveals SpaceX bought $131 million worth of Cybertrucks “at manufacturer’s suggested retail price from Tesla.” A Bloomberg report earlier this year suggested that SpaceX bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, but the IPO suggests it has probably acquired a few more than that. As Electrek notes, without these purchases, Cybertruck registration numbers likely would have gone down year over year.
Tesla’s Megapacks, the company’s giant stationary storage batteries, are used to stabilize SpaceX’s Colossus I and II data centers in Memphis, TN, during peak demand. The rocket company purchased $697 million worth of Megapacks from Tesla in 2024 and 2025.
SpaceX’s relationship with Musk’s Boring Company is much more quaint in comparison. The tunneling venture has paid about $1.2 million in office leases to SpaceX. And SpaceX spent about $1 million for the Boring Company to dig a tunnel at its headquarters in Bastrop, Texas.
SpaceX was valued at $1.25 trillion earlier this year after merging with xAI, Musk’s AI company that also owns X, formerly Twitter. The tie-up means investors will be buying in at a historically high price — but Musk combined the companies at great cost to himself, and also SpaceX. The filing showed that the rocket company directed about 60 percent of its capital spending in 2025 toward xAI, or about $20 billion. But as TechCrunch notes, xAI lost billions of dollars last year on revenue that grew by only 22 percent year over year.
When going public, companies are required to list their risk factors, under the assumption that investors should know about all the skeletons in the closet before putting their money down. For SpaceX, the biggest risk is also the biggest asset: Elon Musk.
For SpaceX, the biggest risk is also the biggest asset: Elon Musk.
While any company, especially one as complex as SpaceX, would be expected to include a long list of risk factors in its S-1, SpaceX’s is unique in that it includes its own CEO. The filing explicitly states that SpaceX is “highly dependent on the continued services of Mr. Musk,” noting that his leadership, vision, and technical expertise are critical to the company’s future.
Like other Musk-owned companies, SpaceX acknowledges that Musk isn’t always 100 percent focused on SpaceX. And it admits that Musk’s intersecting businesses may end up cannibalizing each other in some way. Conflicts could arise. And if they do, Musk is not “restricted” from doing something that directly competes with his other companies, including SpaceX.
Conflicts of interest could arise in the future between us, on the one hand, and Mr. Musk and entities owned by or affiliated with him, on the other hand, concerning among other things, business transactions, potential competitive business activities or other opportunities…. Furthermore, Mr. Musk and other businesses owned by or affiliated with him may now, or in the future, directly or indirectly, compete with us for investment or business opportunities.
The S-1 goes on to enumerate the ways in which Musk’s extensive entanglements could result in financial loss for SpaceX. The company is completely dependent on his leadership, and yet could also incur big losses as a result of said leadership. (See: Tesla in 2025.)
For instance, Mr. Musk currently serves as Technoking and Chief Executive Officer of Tesla and is involved in other emerging technology ventures, including Neuralink and The Boring Company. Mr. Musk has also previously served as Senior Advisor to the President of the United States. Any such loss or reduced involvement in our business could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.
The pull between risk and reward is a running theme throughout the filing.
We, Mr. Musk, and other companies Mr. Musk is affiliated with frequently receive an immense amount of media attention. The actions and statements of Mr. Musk and his affiliated ventures, whether or not directly relating to us, may draw significant public attention and scrutiny to us and could potentially have a positive or negative impact on our business, relationships with customers and regulators, or stock price.
These are not statements you find in your average S-1 filing, but SpaceX is not your typical IPO. Musk stands to make billions if SpaceX establishes a “permanent” colony on Mars with “at least” a million inhabitants. He’s also a shit magnet that could do serious damage to SpaceX’s reputation. Musk’s companies do business with and are deeply entangled with each other in ways laid bare by the filing. They buy each other’s stuff, compete with each other for RAM, AI chips, and other ultra valuable components that are increasingly in short supply.
Occasionally, his shareholders push back. In 2024, several Tesla shareholders sued Musk over claims he was knowingly diverting talent and resources away from the company and directing it toward, xAI. That lawsuit is still pending.
