Nintendo Switch 2, BrowserVenom, retina implants, Windows 12 rumors, Nova Lake CPUs, Trump Mobile, Honda, Zoox, Monopoly and grumpy from the heat. I use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to make sure that my computer and other equipment can be shut down properly should there be a power outage. Inside of a UPS is a giant battery that has a lifespan of about three years. Mine was nearing end of battery life so I ordered a replacement battery. When it came, it seemed smaller than I expected but I didn’t give it any more thought. Since this would be the first time I would be replacing the battery, I watched a YouTube video of the process and realized that there were two batteries connected together. So now I’ve ordered a second one and will have to wait a little longer to replace the batteries. Below you’ll find all the technology news of the week so check out all the stories.
