A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Soon we’ll find delivery robots trying to pull some amazing stunts, all thanks to the sacrifices of some daring Pokemon Go players. Good times ahead 🍿

Iirc a lot of people also taped their device to ceiling fans and stuff to get steps (to hatch eggs maybe? Idk I never played it)
