I was about to complain that you had to go back to the 1980s for a related song, but then I realized the burning furniture music genre is not exactly chock full of options.

Seems like the genre might be ripe for a comeback, though.

Maybe the files he was using on it were not of a fine enough grit.

Not really “technology “ but omg.
I for one do not remember iPod Socks, but now, you can purchase for the low price of 150$ (short) - 230$ (long) an iPhone sock. I guess that’s in American $.

I would never spend that much on a pocket and have it not come with an item of clothing attached to it.

Robotics Company Explains Why Its Terminator-Style Robot Features Prominent Bazongas

Chinese company XPeng showed off a robot with distinctly female anatomy, including pronounced breasts and hips, sparking a discussion.

futurism.com

Chinese automotive company XPeng has been making a major splash with its Terminator-like humanoid robot, dubbed Iron.

Footage of the company’s announcement showed the robot sauntering across the stage with an incredibly lifelike gait. The CEO even peeled it open to show there wasn’t a human inside — hijinx previously pulled by Elon Musk’s Tesla and Chinese company Ex-Robots.

Another design choice that drew the attention of online pundits online: the robot’s distinctly female anatomy, including pronounced breasts and hips — a notable outlier in a field dominated by hulking, broad-shouldered robots with masculine-coded names like Atlas or Optimus.

“Why does it need boobs yet no face?” one Reddit user asked. “These things are mega creepy.”

I'm sure faces will come online once they get the sexual options... hardwired.

As it turns out, rumors that XPeng may eventually sell the robot as a high-tech intimate companion aren’t entirely unfounded.

“We can see that Iron can have different body shapes and sexes,” CEO Xiaopeng He said during his keynote speech on November 5, as quoted by Mashable. “I suspect that just like [when] you buy a car, you can choose different colors, exterior, interior.”

“You can choose a little bit fatter Iron, or, like me, a slimmer Iron,” he added. “Or you can customize your Iron based on your preferences. We also offer you the full coverage soft skin, so the robot is warmer and also more intimate…”

Before long, "Oil can!" will become part of the sex lexicon.
