What's a piece gaming technology or concept you wish wasn't abandoned?
For me it was Simulview - the PS3 would combine 2 video signals on 1 TV and you'd see a different screen depending on the glasses you wore
So sick to be able to do full screen local multiplayer on 1 TV
And what's crazy is this would be much more viable today I feel because #1 the way this was done was frame interpolation. So let's say your system/tv could do 60fps - it would display 30fps signals from each game combined so it looks wonky without glasses but when you'd wear them you'd just see the frames you wanted.
Nowadays this would be sick because we have 4K 120fps+ TVs so we could get 60fps+ signals for each one.
I would have ordered the maximum amount if I didn't snag the last one in stock.
The original Apple AirPods are the best AirPods. If Apple brought back this form factor with the newer gen features I'd pay 2x the price.
Question for Elgato users:
Do you like or dislike when a company can showcase/demo features/performances against competition? Do you think it's helpful because it answers real questions/concerns, or do you automatically think any competitive test shared by a company is done in some bad faith like "oh how do I know they didn't purposefully do XYZ or do something to give their product an edge"
Since Voice Focus has been released there have been more AI noise removal tools in software or built into mics' DSP etc. so I was thinking of expanding this kind of demo test so people could see side by side how they stack up. But in the case of DSP effects this would mean using the competitor mics which could potentially introduce more skepticism, so I'm interested in thoughts on the subject.
The Dyson CameraJet might go down as one of the worst tech product launches of all time.
Their subreddit is filled with reports of them breaking after a single use, and preorders now the product is off the shelves till January at minimum.
Needless to say I canceled my preorder.
Do you pay a subscription fee to any news sites or blogs?
While I'm sure the past 10+ years have seen massive declines in page views due to YouTube etc's proliferation and they need to generate revenue, it feels like a death sentence to put a paywall behind your entire site imo
Like - I'm all about monetization efforts in different ways but I feel like the key is to do additional content or early access content, like Linus Tech Tips' Floatplane etc. But I feel like putting up walls around your entire site might convert the loyal viewers at first, but then you basically cut yourself off from new viewers because how will you convert anyone when they can't even try your product, and then over time you'll have churn from the original paid viewers until that pay dwindles.
This is of course just speaking on vibes I don't have the data for the above -- but speaking as someone who is very pro monetization for creators of all types, it pmo when I get a link pushed to me on google or a social media site that doesn't say the content is behind a paywall and so I click in and can't read anything. I feel like I'm tricked into clicking that link and it turns me off from the site and I click away immediately.
Looks like Bricks and Minifigs settled with Bryan Mansell for the '$250k' Lego Collection.
The press release said it does not resolve other "separate matters" involving Reckless Ben.
BAM sued Reckless Ben and others (including Bryan Mansell if I'm not mistaken) for $1.3m for defamation - I wonder if Bryan was removed from this as one of the defendents as a result of this settlement or not.
Also seems pretty clear they intend to go after the original owners of the store as the blame is being put entirely on them from the statement/press release.
Looks like it's still far from over.

After watching @austinnotduncan's new video re: affiliate revenue, I'm curious about @LinusTech's data trend on clicks and not just revenue.
Because a huge factor in affiliate links nowadays is more people watch YouTube on TV than any other device. So links in description aren't enough, because how will TV watchers take advantage of those links?
While Honey has taken revenue from YouTubers - this would be more evident in data that would show clicks have either remained the same or up over the years, but revenue is still down -- this would show the poaching. But if clicks are going down too, this is evidence of the more friction that TV prevalence causes to affiliate links.
If you find yourself with slumping clicks, one solution could be integrating a call out with a QR code which can capture the TV watchers - might not be perfect but can regain some of the numbers you lose from TV viewers by removing friction. (LTT actually does this for their own merch funnily enough) -- the tricky part is you would need to construct a landing page so you can be compliant with Amazon Affiliate rules -- but a little bit of extra work can possibly make a big difference in your bottom line.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a TV riser for these annoying ass tiny feet?
My sound bar is just a little too tall when placed in front of my TV.
PS. Whoever was the cause that changed every TV to this style "base", I hope your pillow is forever warm on both sides.

Introducing Key Light Air MK.2.
The most thoughtful, versatile light for creators we've ever made.
Now available: e.lga.to/s/Key-Light-Air
Likely nothing SHOULD result from this lawsuit for creators - it seems like a shakedown based on Youtube’s marketing/wording for premium.
All YouTube should need to do is add a * and add “*Ads served specifically by YouTube” to quell the underlying complaint.
