April Fool advert…

I was particularly disappointed to scour BMW’s social media this morning expecting to find one of their classic April Fool advertisements, unfortunately they seem to have not bothered (or, I missed it!

)

Thankfully, Scania U.K. have not disappointed…

The first half of that is very believable after all we already have bladeless fans and AI controlled fans. It wouldn't take to much effort to combine both which makes me wonder why no one has done that as a real product. I could see RGB bladeless fans with AI temperature control being popular for custom builds.

Aren't bladeless fans pretty noisy though? When you look at someone like Dyson's offering they're pretty loud compared to blade fans. I know they're certainly high performance, but I wonder whether they airflow could be slowed down enough to make them quiet enough.

Never noticed them being noisy before but I have never seen them in a quite environment.

"Bladeless" fans aren't in fact bladeless, it's all a lie. The blades are just displaced out of sight.

had to check the date on below police one, unless it's rigged
Warning to motorists as new 'stealth' speed camera vans which are painted grey to avoid detection are trialled - and could be rolled out nationally
(the traffic queues at Dover can't be true though)
