Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations
  • He said previously that he also dislikes the clickbait thumbnails, but they do it because it works. If they adhered to what the enthusiasts wanted their view counts would drop and they wouldn't be able to have so many employees on payroll.

  • Twitch to shut down in Korea over ‘prohibitively expensive’ network fees
  • IIRC the Korean ISPs wanted websites that incur a lot of bandwidth, like Netflix and Twitch, to pay a "usage fee" for all the strain they were causing on the network. Which is absolutely ridiculous – they basically want more money while still charging customers subscribed for Internet.

    Twitch did the right thing here in not paying. I think they also limited streams to 720p in Korea and there was a lot of backlash about that as well, but apparently nobody was bothered enough to kick up a storm about it to the ISPs. Which is sad, because you're getting a subpar experience with the Internet line you paid good money for, all because of the greed of ISPs.

    Sadly Korea only has like three ISPs anywhere to get Internet service, so you either go with their shots or get no Internet.

  • What's the actual advantage of eSIM over a physical SIM?
  • Tbh, this will probably improve in the future with updates. IIRC Google is working on using QR codes to seamlessly send eSIMs over, and once carriers realize it's far cheaper to do wireless provisioning rather than, ya know, sending a plastic card via mail, re-installing eSIM on a new phone should be easy as using the carrier's app/website.

  • Adam Savage endorses piracy, sort of.
  • I absolutely hate this trend. If my eyeballs can see it, the camera on my phone can. Or a cheap HDMI capture card with a leaked HDCP key. They just want to screw over non-techie people who don't know about these workarounds.

  • New handheld game consoles will need replaceable batteries from 2027, EU says
  • The S5 had waterproofing with a removable back using gaskets. (Granted, the design was fugly, but that wasn't the fault of the waterproofing measures. Someone at Samsung loved bandaids) If the S5 could do it, I suppose other manufacturers could achieve the same thing with rubber gaskets. I mean, other waterproof gadgets like dive computers use gaskets on their port covers and what not, so I fail to see why it wouldn't work with battery compartments.
