🥤Tamagotchi Tells Me When To Drink

02/05/23 • 36 min

It's a real big gadget chat this week - quite literally in Tegan's case because she recently got behind the wheel of the 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak.

It's a whole lot of ute and she took it camping in zero-reception territory to really put it to the test. We don't want to spoil the finer details (though our Patreon newsletter subscribers already got a sneak peek) but between the tech inclusions, roomy dual cabin and fancy electric tray cover - she's dubbed it her favourite vehicle review ever 👁️👄👁️.

Sadly it wasn't all joy this week, with Rad reviewing the "single most disappointing piece of tech [she's] ever purchased." We're gonna leave you all hanging on what that might be.

And in classic Amanda style, she saw the resurgence of Tamagotchi's popularity and decided to find her old Gen 2 version from the late 90s rather than dropping cash on a new one. We love a fiscally responsible Queen.

She also tries a TikTok water bottle hack where you use the Tamagotchi to remind you to stay hydrated. The results are... interesting.

2023 Valentine’s Day Gift Guide Special

It’s February, which is a deeply upsetting thought. But it also means it’s nearly Valentine’s Day! Here at Queen’s of the Drone Age, we celebrate whatever that might mean to you.

Whether you’re buying for a loved one, some gal pals (they were just roommates) or even yourself – we have some neat gift suggestions for you.

Rae offers up the Love Box, a very cute digital message sender. Rad keeps things deeply on brand by suggesting Flapper Head, which are absolutely adult flap hats. As Rad points out, “What could be sexier than sun protection?”

So many things.

She also throws in a vote for kitsch soap dispensers and the Nanoleaf Shapes, particularly the Hexagon Starter Pack, which was personally recommended by her partner Teja.

Amanda brings it all home with scheduled emails. We promise it is very cute and not at all work-related.

Deep Dive: ChatGPT Explained

Since first launching at the end of November 2022, ChatGPT has taken over our news and social media feeds. While AI has been around for a while now, this is one of the first times that it has been used at such a critical mass by so many regular users simultaneously, and that’s a big deal.

So this week the Queens are looking at ChatGPT, as well as some of the other popular AI tools like Lensa AI that are currently being utilised online. What do they do, what are their implications, and can the law keep up (it can’t)?

Full show notes are available on the Queens of the Drone Age website.
