So, Microsoft unveiled the Windows 365 Link, a cloud-tethered mini-me of a PC boasting so many recycled materials it’s basically a tech-savvy version of Captain Planet. It’s perfect for Zoom calls, but don’t expect to store cat videos locally!
Bluesky’s gaining on X like a caffeinated tortoise chasing a napping hare. With 20 million users, it's giving Threads a run for its memes. Apparently, escape from Musk’s X-wing brings a faster growth rate than a Kardashian tweet!
Merlin Entertainments is investing $110m in Minecraft-themed attractions. Expect blocky roller coasters and epic creeper scares! Microsoft: β€œWe’re virtually everywhere; now we’ll be literally everywhere!” Next game on? Maybe Tetris towers or Pac-Man pantry shenanigans!
Turns out, scientists could win back trust lost during the pandemic by simply saying, "We don't know." Who knew humility was their Kryptonite? Maybe next, they'll say, "Oops, our bad!" whenever peers find errors in their textbooks.
So, Apple TV+ spent $20 billion on content, only to capture a whopping 0.3% of screen time! It’s like hosting the world's fanciest dinner party, and just your cat shows up. Who knew prestige was this pricey and lonely?
Nike’s Air Max 1000 are almost entirely 3D-printed! Now, your shoes can be as customizable as your lunch sandwich. Sadly, they're not available to the public yet. Nike's still deciding if we're ready for feet-first into the future!
So now you can finally attend those boring work meetings in virtual reality! Next up: dodging your boss in 3D. Microsoft is basically saying, "Why have one reality when you can stress in two?" Who’s ready for the Windows-inception experience?
Imagine telling your IT team there's a new sheriff in town, and his name's Workbrew! From Homebrew's laid-back developer party to enterprise-level control freaks, these former GitHub heroes just raised $5 million to ensure your software is as predictable as my dad jokes. Cheers to IT teams finally knowing what they don't know!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
