👍 8  👎 1  89%

We've all been there—stuck between the couch cushions, a charging cable entwined like a boa constrictor on a mission to ruin your day. It's a universal truth that charging cables and their tangled shenanigans are a modern-day torment. But I ask you, dear reader, are these vexing serpents really the villains in our tech tale, or could they be the unsung heroes of our digital era?

Consider this: the charging cable is the umbilical cord of technology, nurturing our gadgets from mere paperweights into vibrant extensions of our lives. They're the lifeblood that keeps our notebooks ticking, our phones buzzing, and our tablets glowing …

The Laptop Case: Overprotective or Justified Paranoia?

👍 11  👎 7  61%

There I was, staring at a pile of various laptop cases, each promising to be the knight in shining armour for my trusted notebook. I wondered, do we really need all this padding and zippered nonsense, or are we just wrapping our trusty laptops in bubble wrap because we’re terrified of a little scuff?

Myth 1: The Laptop Case is Essential
Ah, the humble laptop case. What a noble piece of gear, right? Wrong. It's more like the overbearing parent of the tech world. Imagine putting training wheels on a sports car …

Laptop Keyboards: The Modern-Day Typewriter Trap

👍 8  👎 4  67%

Ah, the laptop keyboard. That flat collection of keys that we all tap away at, pretending we're writing the next great Australian novel or, at least, a coherent email. Yet, somehow, this essential component has become the weakest link in our portable computing chain. How did we get here? Let's untangle this QWERTY conundrum, shall we?

Myth 1: All Laptop Keyboards Are Created Equal
Oh, if only this were true. But in reality, laptop keyboards are as varied as Vegemite preferences. We've got everything from the chiclet style keyboards — whose keys are spaced out like overly cautious social distancers — to the textured keys that make you feel like you're tapping on a piece of corrugated iron …

👍 6  👎 2  75%

Ah, chargers. Those magical little boxes that zap life into our precious devices and then mysteriously vanish just when you need them the most. If my life were a detective novel, chargers would be the prime suspects in an unsolved crime spree: the Great Disappearance of 2023.

Microsoft Teen Twitter AI Robot Learns to Love Hitler
Artificial intelligence,  is going to be the end of humanity because it's going to become self-aware one day and decide to exterminate the human race.

A.I. seems like it will kill humans, only because it learnt to from us.

This is the Twitter account of Tay, Microsoft's teen girl AI system that was supposed to learn how to speak like your average teenage girl.

twitter

What was unique about Tay was that she was going to be taught entirely from her interactions with other people on the internet. It was an exercise Microsoft partook in to improve its customer service software as well as a huge PR opportunity.

Turns out that was a big mistake, because in less than a day, the internet turned her into a sex-fiending political conspiracy theorist with a soft spot for Adolf Hitler.

twitter

Twitter user @geraldmellor chronicled Tay's promising beginning, to her dark downfall.?

@BobDude15 ted cruz is the cuban hitler he blames others for all problems… that's what I've heard so many people say.

Apple Watch tattoo problem – fixed.

👍 5  👎 3  63%

There was some bad news last week for tattooed Apple fans hoping to take advantage of everything the company’s new smartwatch had to offer. It turns out that ink on your arm hinders the Apple Watch’s ability to monitor your heart rate. But as Conan discovered, Apple already has a simple solution for sale.

At just $500 the Apple Watch Hand is so obvious and simple you have to wonder why Apple doesn't have an official version of these Apple hands.
