Boy that ‘tech’ category is thrown around pretty loosely, both in regards to the topics and the people reporting on them.

“Oddly specific” and related terms have become blogging bywords for “I’m too lazy and/or stupid to look this up, but drawing attention to it makes me look observant and clever.”

Pay attention to how often someone will talk about “oddly specific” prohibited items in a carry on or “oddly specific” job requirements. It's a plague.
