Weird uses for USB ports - one of them quite handy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s before dawn and I’m sitting in a newsroom that smells like a forest fire. You already know the reason for that - the smoke from the south Georgia fires has drifted this way. It’s really a hellish scene downtown - it’s like being in a fairly heavy fog except it smells like a fireplace that needs cleaning.
What does all this have to do with computer. Well, truth? Not much.
But it does remind me of a weird little article in PC Magazine about strange uses for the USB port on your computer.
That’s because one of the uses is a mask that filters the air. You plug it into the USB port on your computer and that powers two small fans that are part of the mask. It’s probably not on my gift list - on the other hand I wouldn’t mind having one this morning.
If you want to read about some other strange gadgets that connect to the USB port, you’ll find the article here.
