score with super soccer on subscription service before it bids fare

In all too familiar fashion, 'Super Soccer' is about to do a 'Gareth Bale' and leave us. This time though, it's not a team dropping down a league or any dramatic football fall-out to blame, it's our mischievously mercurial technological infrastructure. Just like the persistent rain at Wembley, the challenges of tech are an unending, indeed essential part of our everyday-life championship.

Engage, disengage, subscribe, unsubscribe – it's a constant game of hopscotch that could have even the most cucumber-cool code wizard aghast. This news headline reads like a melancholic haiku dedicated to the ephemeral condition of Cloud services and online gaming: 'Play Super Soccer on the subscription service before it's gone'.

Just as your tea brews to perfection or your digestive biscuit achieves optimal dunkiness, you must seize the opportunity. Take the proverbial footie by its laces, and strike a digital goal with 'Super Soccer', before the veiled hand of technological uncertainty swipes it into the stratosphere of the forgotten. A reminder, if ever we needed one, of the symbiotic relationship between progress and disruption. Cheers to the indomitable human spirit for relentlessly pursuing the goalpost, regardless of the perpetually shifting, or shall we say 'offside' lines of technology. Read more here.

exciting update or privacy nightmare the great tech dilemma un

From the rollercoaster ride that is technology, we bring you the news, with its thrilling ups and ominous downs. Yet another exciting update is on the cards, or should we say, servers. For some, this will spark jubilation, but for others, it's as welcome as a wasp at a picnic.

Are you feeling lucky? Like a mysterious box in an online game, it may contain treasures of features or a nightmarish invasion of your privacy. It's a bit like unpacking aunt Edna's holiday presents. It might be a quaint souvenir or yet another pair of hand-knitted socks.

In this ever-evolving technoverse, updates are as inevitable as rain in Manchester. Some view these updates as life-enhancing improvements, while others see them as uninvited intrusions into their rather interesting digital lives. Which way it swings is anyone's guess.

As we continue to navigate these choppy tech waters, rest assured that we're here to keep you buoyant with information, while battling with the digital sea monsters in an ongoing quest to unlock the secrets of our techie Pandora's Box. Just don't forget your life jacket and a healthy sense of humour. Remember, whatever comes out of that box or server may be less about spectres of privacy invasion and more about wrestling with mum's Skype settings once again. As they would say, "Keep calm and carry on... updating!" Read more here.

sorting through subpar tech demystifying lowquality products

Ah, indeed, dear reader! It appears we have another delightful tale of technological mischief to share. Regrettably, the article in question is as empty as a politician's promise and thus I am bereft of any specific details to share. Having said that, I am well-versed enough in the trials and tribulations of our relentless tech industry to conclude that they have once again contrived to serve us a portion of pure, unadulterated hogwash.

The relentless efforts of our dear technologists, consistently striving to craft a brave new world where common sense is as rare as a modest peacock, seems to once again have stumbled upon failure. You see, in their relentless quest to make our lives simpler or more 'techie' shall we say, they appear to be actively making it more complicated.

Intricately designed, infinitely promising, yet so often delivering the punchline of an already botched public-speaking debacle. We live in a magnificent epoch, where our technological advancements often possess the striking duality of being as extraordinary as they can be utterly baffling. Whether it's lost data, unexpected crashes, or the infuriating game of pass the blame customer services play - the tech world continues to give us more reasons to swear than a taxi driver in rush hour traffic.

Let us soldier on, fellow sufferers. Like gluttons at a banquet, we shall continue to feast upon the digital slop they dish out to us, armed with a resilience as hard as those indestructible Nokia phones from the ‘90s. May the WiFi be strong and your patience endless. Cheerio! Read more here.

introducing huawei pura x the revolutionary flip phone with harmony intelligence

In quintessential technology-style, we've come full circle back to flip phones. Bursting onto the scene with all the precision of a soggy biscuit, Huawei introduces its dazzlingly new Pura X. As if emulating a confused pancake, it sports an alluringly wider form factor, clearly designed for those with jumbo pockets or the dexterity of an octopus.

Now, brace yourself for the pièce de résistance - it's the first phone to run the freshly minted Harmony Intelligence AI assistant. Yes, we're now expected to have intellectual conversations with our gadgets. The questions now aren't just about whether this AI assistant will offer us a 'spot of tea?' or solve world peace, but whether it can handle a good old British rant about the weather.

So, onwards and upwards, tech pesky enthusiasts! The era of wider flip phones featuring sophisticated AI assistants is now upon us. May your pockets be deep, your patience wider and your conversations with Harmony ever enlightening! Read more here.

new update gemini app drops mandatory google account signin requirement

Those toffs at Gemini have finally cottoned on and dished up a new way to log in. 'Til now, they've required you to tie the proverbial knot with your Google Account, as inseparable as fish and chips by a rainy seaside. This, as anybody with WiFi and a thumb for thumbing smartphones could likely tell you, was about as convenient as a chocolate teapot.

But the times, they are a-changin'. We've been handed our decree nisi from Google's suffocating omnipresence. No more exhausting affairs with third-party dramas and unsuspecting delays to your seamless navigation. Gemini has finally kicked that habit in its digital teeth, decoupling (as posh folks might say) from the exclusive liaison with Google.

Why dance to Google's tune when you could strut to your own beat, right? Going forward, rest assured that you can roguishly slip past Google's overwatch to reach the Gemini app - the tech world equivalent of a nip out for a cheeky pint when your partner thinks you're doing the hoovering.

Technology, my good fellow, is like a bucking Bronco: rather vexing to handle, but ever so satisfying once you’ve got it tamed. Here's to hoping we spend less time reining in these wild tech-beasts and more time making them work for us. We don't mind a challenge - it's what keeps the whisky in our tea. But good lord, we'd rather not have to wrestle Google just to log into an app. Read more here.

unlocking efficiency how to save over 75 watts on cobbled

Ah, the techies at Cyclingnews have been turning their brains inside out, it seems. This time they've wrestled a whopping 75 watts of energy savings from cobbled roads. I hear your gasp of astonishment. Yes, cobblestones! Those bumpy, bicycle-wrecking, rear-end-numbing relics of roads we all love to hate.

Some boffins with nothing better to do, presumably, have managed to find an energy saving of over 75 watts (equivalent to a vibrant pot of Earl Grey Tea, if you're wondering) on these cobbled fiends. This is even after taking into account the complex aerodynamics of pushing a bicycle over terrain better suited to a medieval horse and cart.

This work echoes the immortal words of Thomas Edison: ‘I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.' The tech challenges continually rear their maddening heads, even in the restful world of cycling, but as the stubborn Brits we are, we give them a cheeky wink and carry on to find solutions.

So, what's the moral of this? In the grand melee of technology, there's always a bit of room for a shed-load of persistence and a dash of cunning. A bit like using Yorkshire Tea bags twice, it might not work perfectly, but by George, we’ll still enjoy a half-decent cuppa. Read more here.

microsoft scrambles to fix windows 11 update bug erasing cop

Oh, the joy of technology - always a reliable source of sober amusement. In this week's little tech hiccup, Microsoft is spinning multiple plates trying to rectify a new found bug in its latest Windows 11 update that seems to have a bit of a dislike for the Copilot app. It's not personal, surely one hopes, but the update is diligently wiping Copilot out like a precise digital Thanos. Fear not though, for the app can be reinstalled with relative ease. Granted, 'ease' here does depend on whether you have an encyclopedic knowledge of computer setups or are just excellent at following online instructions. Either way, here we are again, gallantly armed with ironic determination as we strive to bend technology to our will. Chin up, folks. Despite its incessantly challenging demeanour, the world wouldn't be as amusing without it. Read more here.

For those of us who've forgotten about Murphy's Law, this might be a fortuitous kick in the memory bank. Translation: if something can technologically go wrong, eventually it will.

It seems that our Silicon Valley overlords constantly insist on sprucing things up, much like a nosy neighbour who can't resist rearranging your garden gnomes. You glance away for just a tick, next thing you know your mobile's suddenly sprouted new features! Notice I use the term 'features' with a healthy spoonful of British stoicism - some of these changes might leave you feeling like you've just entered the Bermuda triangle of tech.

But fret not, dear reader! These challenges are merely the rites of passage in the grand scheme of evolving tech. Consider it a mental gym: your patience might feel the burn now, but your fortitude muscles will be bulging in no time. Stand poised, mobile in hand, ready to embrace the gremlins of Google's latest offering. It might be a topsy-turvy ride getting everything squared away, but where's the fun in a monotonous tech journey, I ask? After all, even amidst the chaos, every cloud service has a silver lining...literally.

Time to brace your digital teacups, folks. Technology, much like our fine British weather, is predictably unpredictable! So, roll up your sleeves and adopt the stance of a techno-warrior, because with every new Google update, a new adventure waits in the push notifications! Read more here.
