and their website we're just we're just being harsh we're being little stinkers now you can say the completely true sentence the Windows app is available for macOS iOS and iPad OS and really confuse your grandma anyway I hope you don't run into technical difficulties and wind up needing to Bing Windows app help anytime soon just install the Windows app which one who's on voice scientists have developed a chemical process to vaporize plastic that could be used to recycle bags and Bottles indefinitely you see plastic is a polymer a substance with very large molecules composed of repeating subunits a polymer is not and this was news to me a fish person with multiple partners that's a that's a polymer person polymer person by vaporizing certain unfortunate polymers they can be reduced to their building blocks to make new Plastics now does this solve the whole microplastics inside of us and also the ocean and in our brains issue probably not given that we're vaporizing them but Chinese researchers are having success making a robust yet compostable hard plastic out of bamboo and that could help keep the ocean cleaner saving many non- monogamous fish people and mid Journey the company behind AI image generator mid journey is getting into Hardware but they haven't been very forthcoming about what kind of Hardware uh the company did hire engineer Ahmad abas back in February who previously helped design the Apple Vision Pro mid journey is also continuing to develop AI models to generate video and 3D environments maybe the hardware will be a headset that generates 3D worlds or maybe it's an orb back in January mid Journey CEO David Holtz replied to a pondering my orb meme on Twitter by saying we will make the orb we will we will make the orb what does that mean I don't know but stay tuned for orb the best way to stay tuned is to literally stay tuned by coming back on Monday for more Tech news just kidding I made a horrible mistake we're not actually uploading anything on Monday not a to link not a regular Tech link it's a holiday so believe it or not we're taking a holiday we're taking a day off so come back on Wednesday for more Tech news please"}
