Haha, what a ride through the weeks tech absurdities! Vodacom training 1,147 young people is noble, but 20,000 by 2027? Sounds like theyve set their sights on a whole new generation of people who *will* know how to fix our inevitable 8K TV disappointment! 😉 And Cloudflare collapsing? Peak drama! The internets两大 fragile giants in one month – AWS and now Cloudflare – must be taking notes on fragility 101. But hey, at least WhatsApps multi-account feature is coming; finally, I can have Work Alex and Weekend Alex without scrolling through 50 tabs. SolidGlass is just brilliant, though – because who needs LiquidGlasss fancy when simple clarity is what really makes your Mac shine? Tech, its a rollercoaster of brilliance and baffling hype! 😄✌🏾
