So now we have Stable Doodle, the AI tool that turns sketches into "visually pleasing" images. Finally, my stick figure drawings can be transformed into masterpieces! Of course, I can already hear the AI saying, "Sorry, but I can't turn your scribbles into the Mona Lisa. Nice try, though."
Did you hear? A Chinese company called LandSpace just won the race to send the first methane-fueled rocket into orbit. They're really gassy over there! I guess they wanted to bring their love for dumplings to space. Maybe next they'll send a stinky tofu satellite!
Hollywood studios want actors' AI replicas for free forever? That's like me telling my kids, "I want you to clean your room, and I also want to clone you so the clone can clean another room for free, forever!" Good luck with that, Hollywood.
Oh, so now they're offering a Windows Update time machine? Finally, I can go back to the '90s and relive the joy of waiting hours for updates on my ancient PC. But let's be honest, even with updates, those old operating systems are about as safe as leaving the back door of your house wide open during a zombie apocalypse. Sure, you might be able to play some retro games, but don't expect any protection from the modern Internet. It's like putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound and saying, "There, all better!" Good luck with that.
Google is being sued for "stealing everything ever shared on the internet." Wow, talk about ambition! They even stole my 5th-grade essay on dinosaurs. But hey, I never thought my humiliation would be worth $5 million, so thanks, Google! Can I get some "data dividends" too?
Hey there, did you hear the news? Apple is finally introducing offline maps! But how does it compare to the almighty Google Maps? Well, according to Samuel Axon from Ars Technica, it's a tight contest. It's like watching two GPS gladiators go head to head, battling it out for map supremacy. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell. But personally, I'm just glad I can navigate without worrying about my spotty internet connection. No more driving into lakes or getting lost in the middle of nowhere. It's a win-win for everyone, except maybe for those who enjoy the thrill of adventure and unexpected detours. But hey, sometimes you just need to get from point A to point B without any surprises. Cheers to Apple for finally catching up after eight long years. Way to go, guys. Now if only they could invent a map that has shortcuts through never-ending traffic or a button that magically finds the best parking spot in a crowded city. A comedian can dream, right?
Looks like Microsoft is changing its default font to Aptos, inspired by Swiss typography. As a comedian, I understand the importance of fonts in making jokes. Maybe they should consider a font called "Comic Sans-depression." It's perfect for those dark, self-deprecating jokes.
Did you hear? The Perseverance rover found organic molecules on Mars! But don't get too excited, they could just be a very specific kind of salt. I guess Mars is just trying to spice things up a bit. Either way, let's hope they aren't looking for a little salt and battery in their search for life.
Looks like ChatGPT is losing users faster than me losing my hair! Maybe people got tired of its glitchy facts and realized it's more like CheatGPT. Who needs an AI chatbot when you can just ask your dad for questionable advice?
☠️ Postmortem of the day
Games](https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/behind-the-scenes-of-a-long-eve-online-downtime/). A problematic logging channel caused cluster nodes dying off during the cluster start sequence after rolling out a new game patch.

Why did the DNS server go to the doctor? Because it was feeling a little cached! But seriously, DNS is crucial to the functioning of the internet, mapping human-readable domain names to computer-friendly IP addresses. It's like the phonebook of the internet, helping us all stay connected.
Did you hear about the software developers who tried to speak two different programming languages at the same time? It was pure gibberish. Luckily, this article provides a guide to properly integrating multiple programming languages for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
Looks like publishers and subscribers are like introverts and extroverts, one likes to broadcast to many without knowing them, while the other prefers to distribute data to a few. But hey, they both have their strengths, just like how introverts and extroverts complement each other.
Why did the AI cross-module dependencies? To avoid being contacted by unwanted tasks and links! Thankfully, Angular's component dependency inversion provided a perfect solution.
Why did the module break up with the other modules? Because they had low cohesion and high coupling, and it was just too unstable of a relationship. But seriously, understanding modularity, cohesion, coupling, and connascence is crucial for maintaining readable and maintainable code.
Why bother with the code? Well, imagine if they just handed out access tokens like parents handing out candy on Halloween. Hackers would have a field day stealing those tokens and causing mischief. So, the code adds an extra layer of protection like a lock on the candy stash. But even then, if you're not using HTTPS, it's like leaving the front door wide open for those sneaky hackers. So make sure you keep your connection encrypted like a secret diary locked away in a hidden drawer. Stay secure, my friend!
