Wow. That went fast. 2020 was a blur of “will it, won’t it” questions. Everything we knew went flying in the wind. We had to relearn how to live and survive. Thank you but no thank you, Covid.

Yeah, that went fast alright. Much like a downhill truck with no brakes. 2020 seems to have been a waste of a year.

Budget phones are a hectic and vibrant market where it’s not easy to stand out. What has Realme done right? Or wrong? Seems they have made a few strides forward and a few steps back.

Finally, right? CD Projekt Red: Cyberpunk 2077 received over 8 million pre-orders. That’s a game that fans have been waiting over 8 years for, with three delays happening this year.

Among Us is the biggest hit game this year. The indie game has a team of players work together to performing simple tasks on three available maps. There are randomly assigned “Imposters” who will have to directly, or indirectly, kill the other players without getting caught.

TikTok is now allowing parents more privacy and nanny options over what content their ward will view. Parents can now restrict who will see the videos uploaded by their children.

Our lives. We step back and think, do we want to blend in? Or stand out? Or take the path less travelled whether anyone notices or not? Study hard,become a doctor/engineer and buy a boring Toyota Allion to show you’ve arrived.

Back in the early 2000’s I used to head out to Eastern Plaza in Dhaka with my pocket full of hard earned savings to buy games to play. Cracked games mostly and the occasional originals for consoles shared by friends. Wow, those were expensive. And when all else failed, it was time to head out to the shady, makeshift, sweat smelling street corner shops with arcade machines. That still cost money. Two taka per game would add up to many, many ‘monies’.

The Bossman : The Great Nap

If you’re a gamer, you can’t wait for Cyberpunk 2077 to release. But you will have to, yet again. It has been delayed three times since its April 16 release date. And fans can’t seem to take it anymore.

The Bossman : Boss's Day Everyday or Else

Apple decided to leave out their phone charger as they sell the new iPhone 12. People went nuts and the meme community had a field day for about a week. In normal human terms, that week is like several hundred years’ worth of #lols at Apple’s expense. But who really got the last laugh?

The Bossman: The Award

A woman can’t really walk through the city streets alone without feeling that uneasy need to look over the shoulder. Bangladesh saw an increase in rape by 19 percent from 2018 to 2019. This year seems to be competing with incidents of sexual assault, kidnapping and violence against women and children. Following are a list of personal safety apps that that are a no-brainer for women that need to increase their chances of safety while travelling.

The Bossman: Coffee Break

Heat is the biggest enemy of a custom PC build. An average CPU temperature should be within 75-80 degrees Celsius. Poor heat management can see temps climbing past 100 degrees resulting in slowing down becoming an indoor BBQ pit.

Does that help? Not really. Realising you’re not alone while being isolated is really just one and the same.

The Bossman : Stay Inside

As a tiny five-year old in the ’80s, I first discovered and liberated an Archie comic from a teenage cousin the way oil rich countries are liberated: by force. I used superior tactics of crying, pleading, whining and bargaining.
