The lightsabers in “Star Wars” behave like normal swords, but have a special ability: you can turn them on and off. Why don’t Jedi use this option in combat?
Do you sometimes wake up with questions like these on your forehead and then immediately go to the computer to do some research? Then you’re like our Tjark, who just couldn’t let go of the lightsaber question. Save yourself the research, here is the good reason why neither Jedi nor Sith take advantage of the surprise advantage of the suddenly switched off lightsaber.
Be nice to each other (even on the plane).
The businessman sits concentrated in seat 12A. With a notebook on his knees, he is on the way to an important meeting. Diagonally behind, on 14C, is the young university graduate who is celebrating her passed exam with her friends and has already had at least three glasses of champagne… A wide variety of people meet on the plane. The limited space can quickly create thick air.

Some people are probably using the upcoming Easter holidays for a short vacation. If you absolutely have to go there by plane, it helps, as usual, if you all treat each other as nice and politely as possible. We tried some economy class etiquette. Do you have any other suggestions on how to improve coexistence in the narrow, flying tube? Please let us know by email!
This is important to keep in mind at public WiFi hotspots
While we’re on the subject of travel, roaming can quickly add up, especially outside the EU. Anyone who moves large amounts of data back and forth to public hotspots is well advised, as this saves costs.

These were the weirdest cell phones of the 2000s
Keyword Black Mirror: Smartphones all look the same these days. Things were very different in the early 2000s. When there were still Siemens cell phones, when Nokia still produced in the Bochum factory and was completely unscrupulous when it came to design. The motto back then: Everything is allowed!

Sony was still called Sony-Ericsson, and the camera resolution rarely exceeded the 2 megapixel limit. The provider T-Mobile had the Sidekick II in its program, on which AOL Instant Messenger was preinstalled. Before I continue to reminisce: Which of these exotic mobile phones do you want back in a modern form?
WhatsApp: Never listen to annoying voice messages again
What do the senders of long voice messages actually imagine? That the recipient enjoys listening to ten-minute monologues, perhaps with a good glass of wine in front of the fireplace? Well – many WhatsApp users now consider long voice messages to be a bad habit.
Oh, a new voice message. Off in front of the fireplace! (Source: netzwelt)
Do you feel the same? Then there is good news. Because soon listening to a “voice note” will no longer be necessary and you won’t miss anything important. And that’s how it works!
