Gadgets & Gizmos: Bing hallucinating, a paint revolution, an eternal battery & streaming classical music
Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose of the latest tech innovations. A startup has worked out how to use data processing centres to heat swimming pools which cool the PCs in return. Bing's latest GPT upgrade has many improvements, but still hallucinates and makes things up. There's a revolution in the world of paint, better protection for windswept buildings, a keyboard hand heater, spirally-constructed wind turbines and Apple moving into the world of streamed classical music.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Tesla woes, exploring Mars's caves & a rolling bridge
Tech expert Steve Caplin discusses Tesla's non-Ford assembly line, Musk's dull investor day and a setback for his Neuralink. Breadcrumbs will be the key to exploring caves on Mars, it seems, while the iMAG could be the way to end uncomfortable endoscopies and 3D printing taking place within the human body could soon be feasible. There's a crowdfunded exoskeleton to help with hill-climbing (or even shopping or visiting museums) and on the River Lee, there's an ingenious hand-powered rolling bridge.
