**Happy Hump Day! Facebook Reveals Newsfeed Algorithm Changes**
June 29th, 2016—Happy hump day everyone! If you've ever wondered how Facebook decides what appears in your Newsfeed, prepare for a major revelation. In a surprising move toward transparency, Facebook is now publishing a paper that explains its Newsfeed values. The key takeaway? Facebook prioritizes friends and family above all else. This means your posts from loved ones will appear at the top of your feed, well before any sponsored content or news articles.
This shift marks a significant change in Facebook's algorithm, which aims to enhance user engagement by making users feel more connected to their friends and family. The company believes that if people enjoy using Facebook more, they'll use it more frequently—and this could be a huge boon for ad sales, no matter where those ads end up appearing in your feed.

**Amazon Fire Phone: An Epic Fail?**
Remember the Amazon Fire Phone? It seems like Amazon would rather you forget about it. The phone launched with iPhone-like pricing but quickly dropped to $1, yet it failed to attract buyers. Amazon has since faded this product into obscurity, much like a "nothing to see here" sign hanging over its marketing efforts.
But hey, did you catch this Samsung? It appears Amazon is cooking up a clever workaround to put its services and apps front and center on your phone—without actually manufacturing a phone itself. Here's the plan: Amazon will subsidize the phone for Prime customers if those customers agree to have it pre-loaded with Amazon apps and ads displayed on the lock screen. That's pretty smart, Amazon! With fewer carriers offering subsidies, lower-priced Android phones could become attractive options for budget-conscious buyers.

**Toyota Recalls 3.4 Million Vehicles: Airbags and Fuel Tanks**
In yet another massive recall, Toyota is pulling 3.4 million vehicles off the road. The culprit? Faulty side curtain airbags and issues with fuel tanks. This recall includes:
- **1.43 million Toyota Priuses and Lexus CT compacts**: These vehicles are affected by side curtain airbags made by Autolive, which are known to crack and partially inflate.
- **2.87 million Vehicles (largely Prius and Corolla models)**: These cars have emission control canisters on their fuel tanks that tend to crack and leak fuel under the weight of a full tank.
Just under 1 million vehicles are affected by both issues. Reuters reports that no injuries have been linked to these problems so far, but if you think your car might be involved, it's crucial to get it in for service immediately. You can check whether your vehicle is part of the recall by visiting the link below.

**Vehicle Recalls: A PSA**
If you follow vehicle recalls, this might seem like old news. But hey, vehicle recalls are serious business. While the Takata airbag issue remains a hot topic, it's not the culprit here. Instead, Autolive's side curtain airbags and Toyota's faulty fuel tanks are taking center stage.
With so many vehicles affected, it's essential to stay informed. Whether you're a long-time follower of recalls or just starting to pay attention, make sure to check your vehicle's status regularly. Your safety—and the safety of others—depends on it.
