I've been using a password manager for years. It might take a bit of work to set up at the beginning but I promise it does make your digital life so much easier. In this week's @AP One Tech Tip I decide to demystify password managers for readers like you. apnews.com/article/how-to-us…

I have around 4,000 unread PR emails in my BBC inbox. My LinkedIn private messages overflow. I get pitches via Instagram DM, WhatsApp, text message. I’ve don’t have open DMs on X but I get pitches there too. I am utterly overwhelmed by people digitally shouting at me for their client (or themselves) to be heard, 24/7. It’s out of control. I am only one person and I can’t usually do more than one story per day. Most of the comms I receive is not relevant to me but I am sure I sometimes miss good stuff in the constant deluge. I do tech news. This doesn’t mean I am interested in which video game 50% brits played last night (survey sample: 20). Or what your client has to say about a story I’ve already covered. It’s also lovely that your client is “in town” and wants to talk at me over coffee/lunch but I don’t have the time and also “town” for me, IE London, is often 400 miles away. Please think before you hit send. Some of us are drowning!

I've been AWOL on social media but resurfacing to promote a new AP fixture I've created: One Tech Tip. It's about how to use technology in our everyday lives. It's been running for a few months. Here's the latest and more to come. Ideas? Hit me up! apnews.com/article/tech-tip-…

PR folks, please pay attention:

We hear a lot about the risk of AI-generated deepfakes and how they could theoretically be used to influence elections. In countries from Moldova to Bangladesh, it’s already in full swing. New with @chanman: apnews.com/article/artificia…
