His other upload of the week is Day Board, a calendar app modeled on train departure boards that he built with ChatGPT.

Literally every laptop should have this...

Joe Cirillo, who sums up his channel in four words ("making tech more fun"), found his fun this time in a charger. "Literally every laptop should have this..." is about Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra and its magnetic connector, which also works as an ordinary USB-C port. It went past 600,000 views in its first day and a half, far more than anything else he posted.

The comment section has turned into a small design seminar. Many viewers single out the charging brick, where the magnet sits and the cable can be flipped around, so one cord does both jobs. Others want to know whether a connector that deep will really let go when someone trips over the cord, and a few point out that MagSafe got there first. The most liked joke has nothing to do with engineering: it wonders how many people will actually buy the thing.

The second upload was a project of his own. In "I rebuilt the calendar" he builds Day Board, an app that shows the day like a train station board announcing what arrives next. The description says he made it with ChatGPT, after plenty of back and forth over the widgets, and that it is not in the App Store yet. Meanwhile an 18-day-old look at Mac Mini builds, already near a million and a half views, keeps bringing people in.

The channel ran well above its usual daily pace and passed a million views for the week, fourth among the tech review channels nearest its size. Tech.Explain had the big week in that group, while TechDweeb also ran far past its usual pace.
