A netizen published an article titled “Moaning In My Room” on National Taiwan University’s PTT StupidClown Board, in which he said he was returning home early one afternoon. Just as he approached the apartment corridor, he heard a woman and a man moaning. Doubts and questions swiftly flooded his mind: “My girlfriend told me she went to class. Was that a lie she used so she could take some guy home?” and “But there’s no sign of someone else’s or her shoe. Did she hide their shoes in order to cover things up?”
On the verge of bursting into tears, the netizen, after wrestling with himself in his mind for a while, decided to open the door of his room. He was dumbstruck to find that his laptop was playing his “special collection” while his cat was lying on the keyboard, watching his collection on the monitor. Because the laptop had a touch volume control, and the cat happened to sit on the “volume up” button, the sound was at its maximum.
“It was a relief, but I cannot help but wonder what my roommates were thinking.”

網友好不容易下定決心，強忍淚水打開房門，未料，他的筆電播著他的「收藏」，他家的貓趴在鍵盤上看螢幕，因電腦按鍵是觸碰式，貓的身體狠狠壓在「＋」位置，讓聲音開到最大聲。
「雖然鬆了一口氣，但是不知道其他間的房客會怎麼想啊」。

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
Dog owners often wish they could understand their pets’ thoughts. “Dog buttons” might turn their dream into a reality.

For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances.
