Ivan's links of the week #37
Hey Tech Fanatics!
So, you might've noticed a slight delay since the last newsletter. Well, summer happened! 🌞 Between the scorching heat melting my keyboard and my ice-cream, some fantastic outdoor adventures, and some top-tier lounging with the family, I also took a mini vacay. But fear not! While I was out sunburning in irregular patterns, the tech world kept on turning.
Now, I've managed to put together an issue that’s hotter than this summer. We're jumping from Android antics to AI adventures, doing a sassy sashay through business, and ending with a splash in the science pool. Ready for this rollercoaster? Hold on to your sun hats!
Let's get this tech fiesta started! 🎉
