âAirTags Expose Dodgy Postal Industryâ
Last year, YouTuber MegaLag tried to send several AirTag-ged packages from Germany to North Korea with DHL. But instead of arriving there, they were either misrouted to South Korea or ended up in China.

Bunny.net joined the AI hype and created âBunny AIâ (docs), AI images created on the edge. I tried it out, because itâs currently free during the preview, but somehow I donât find the generated images aesthetic or Iâm just to stupid to write better prompts.
