Apple Taste Pro is a white sausage-shaped devices that you shove down your throught and controls your taste buds, olfactory system and controls breathing.
Apple always announces products like they are the only ones, except maybe with the first iphone. “this is the best iPhone yet” not the “best smartphone in the market”.
Also they wouldn’t call it sex toys, they would call it a whole new revolutionary class of communication devices.
Personally I wish someone would make headphones that comes with a wireless “subwoofer” that attaches somewhere to your body and vibrates to the bass. The closest I found to this was the Skullcandy Crusher series. But the motors are in the headphones, which makes them bulky. Still, hardest hitting bass I’ve ever heard in a pair of headphones. It is unfortunate that a more prestigious brand won’t take the concept and evolve it.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing for bass-heavy music; they’re just not so great if you care about things like imaging, sound staging, a neutral frequency response, and low latency Bluetooth, none of which the crushers are particularly good at. The Crusher Evo has such bad staging, for example, that they almost sound mono. Makes them completely worthless for movies and games (which is a shame, cause movies and games could always benefit from more bass).
This is the kind of thing that is currently an object of mockery, becomes “kinky” and “bold” in 25 years, and ultimately has two or three slang entries in urbandictionary in 50.
Crappy laptop trackpad picks up stray clicks from my wrists being close enough to trigger touch without touching. Blind operation is not an option, unless I bust the whole experience down to a text-only terminal.
But otherwise, throw in a decent VR headset and I’m on my way to yoga-based development.
I don’t know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a “Thank You” email later ;-)
You know how everything has LCD screens these days? And sometimes you’ll witness a good old crash? I know I’ve seen quite a few.
I’m guessing something like that.
I had a switch wig out today and whatever it was doing poisoned all the dhcp leases on the network as they came up for renewal (assigned IPs on the wrong subnet - even though it wasn’t supposed to assign IPs at all). It took me a very long time to figure out, because not everything failed at once. Plus, even after I’d swapped the switch, some devices just started working, and others needed their leases reset manually. An hour in, my wife was in the fetal position clutching a squishmallow.
The switch (that I’m returning today, after it failed completely yesterday evening) is a bit fancier than your average switch. It kept reverting to default settings, including its default IP address - which meant it was not using the same set of networking instructions as my router, preventing everything it was connected to from accessing the internet.
Look, just because you know how to code doesn’t mean you have to steal dinosaur DNA for the CIA. That part is totally optional.
You could choose to instead hack an oil company to implant a worm that siphons off all the extra money rounded off by bank transactions and disguise it with a virus that makes oil tankers capsize.
