1111: Space Toilets, AI Realities and Kindle's "End of Life"

Was Artemis II moon mission an anti-climax? While the crew is set to break records for the furthest humans have ever travelled from Earth, it turns out that being a space pioneer isn't all glamour. Between broken toilets and the ultimate "down to Earth" frustration, Outlook failing to sync, we look at the reality of life inside the Orion capsule. Then, we dig into the latest economic reports regarding AI and the job market. It’s not all doom and gloom, but it is a wake-up call. We explore why IT workers might be the most at risk, the reality behind recent mass redundancies at Oracle, and how you can position yourself to be part of the 93% who could see a pay rise rather than a P45. In other stories we cover if your Kindle is about to become a paperweight and how you can try out the newly launched Digital Wallet for Ireland.
