Nintendo Switch Gets Longer Battery Life

If it were me, I'd just announce that current Switch owners can get their battery switched to the new versions. This offer is not very friendly to those who have purchased a Switch before.
Alongside Switch Lite Reveal, Nintendo Announces New Switch Model With Longer Battery Life With a more dramatic redesign also on the way, Nintendo will make a modest upgrade to its existing Switch to add upwards of two additional hours of battery life. GAMESPOT.COM

I think that will matter a lot to a good many gamers.  I know some critics are upset because  the latest version can't be played on a television too, but I think it will sell like hotcakes. 
Phoenix
Yeah, I'm planning to get one because it's smaller and the battery lasts for a good while.  Both versions of the Switch have a lot to offer.  
joserock
That sounds like a strange demand to my ears. As far as I know, Switch is meant to be a portable console. That's why battery life matters so much. I wonder if Nintendo has prepared a deal for old owners to prevent complaints.

The different style of phone cameras

I had just finished watching some videos on Samsung Galaxy A80 where the cameras can rotate to the front and back as we need, and now we have this pop-up camera. I like that people are so creative with camera placement these days, regardless of safety. Which style do you prefer?

Even though I don't think this feature is very attractive, I thought the price of this new phone would be expensive yet surprisingly it's far lower than what I expected. It would be interesting to know how popular this phone will become in... See more

A phone with similar specs but from the more established brands would definitely have cost more. I think that more more phones with bezel-less displays will keep being manufactured.
Gaines
This new phone isn't that appealing to me to be honest. As a customer, I would rather wish for some more practical features. But indeed what more can you ask for when the price isn't that high?
Sphera
Yeah, the price is almost half of Samsung Galaxy A80. These Chinese brands have long offered us advanced features for cheaper prices. I always wonder if they balance it out with poor features somewhere else; otherwise, we are simply being... See more

The importance of sound location

The setup looks perfect for all kinds of entertainment (plus one cozy couch)! Is it going to feel very different if the speakers are only at the ground or the shelves? Do we need to install some that high?

When you want to draw

I have been thinking of buying a drawing tablet lately. Seems like drawing tablets have become more common than ever. There are some good options in this collection. But I might go for a more affordable one first as a beginner.

When I was buying my first drawing tablet, I didn't know much about it and therefore I bought a Wacom one. That wasn't a very expensive one, if I remember correctly. I would still recommend Wacom even to beginners. Maybe you can check out their... See more

It is always good to be prepared

This collection has some useful items for emergency. It’s worth paying attention because we never know when accidents will happen. Better be prepared.

The solar-powered power bank is a good one to always have in our backpacks because we cannot live without our mobile phones. I'm surprised though that a simple Swiss knife is not on the list as that gadget can save lives and is also a great... See more

I love the solar-powered power bank as well. Information is key and I have a feeling that most people may not know the usefulness of what's listed here, despite owning them already.

Some inspiration to take care of ourselves in unknown places

Sometimes it's best to be overprepared in case the worst scenario occurs when you are out in the wild traveling or when you have to escape from the wrath of natural disasters

Yes, I realized this collection includes items that I never thought of before. It’s definitely a good list for us to learn about what we need for worst-case scenarios.

I have some of these items already, but I never thought to add a GPS locator to my bug out bag. That's a great idea!

Tech on a Budget

Who says you have to spend a lot to get great #tech? Not the creator of this #collection obviously. Personally, I'm into the egg cooker and #Roku stick. #techgoals #techdeals #budget

Sphera
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think some of the items listed are quite old. Not that old always means bad. Depending on how we use it, those gadgets can still work like gold. I still keep my iPhone 5S for that reason.

Depends on what you want. Some people want the new models or more functions then they might need to pay more for what they want. But I agree that if you are just looking for affordable, workable tech products without different fancy features,... See more

A coffee machine

I would also love to own a coffee machine. But the truth is that the machines on the market are usually a bit too expensive to me. Besides, it isn't necessary as you can still drink coffee without a machine at home. But anyway, I really wish to own one if my salary is higher.
A collection for ...
EmorySmith
You can get a regular percolator for very little money.  Of course, it's not as fancy as that big dollar espresso machine in the collection. 
Pete205
I agree with you. But somehow I just decided not to purchase a coffee machine right now and see if I have more money in the future to buy a fancier one. It might seem a bit unrealistic but I guess I just like dreaming. Haha.

Netflix Price Hike Loses Subscribers

Did you drop your #Netflix #subscription after their recent price hike? If so, you aren't the only one. Disney's streaming service will surely cause more users to jump ship. So what will Netflix do? #pricehike #streaming #videostreaming #Disney #subscribers #Netflixandchill
Netflix lost US subscribers in Q2 over price hikes; how can it win them back? Increased costs and competition make for a precarious situation at Netflix. ARSTECHNICA.COM

The price hike wasn't tremendous, but Netflix has to rethink things now that it has a lot of competition.  It will be interesting to see how they respond in the long run. 
Pete205
I agree. The fact is Netflix faces more competition than it used to. It could be interesting to see or to look forward to their next steps. Having the price that high is definitely not a nice strategy. But I can see some people will still just... See more

Folding and extending

I'm not even done checking Samsung Galaxy S10, and the Note 10 isn't even out yet, but here we are with more rumors. Look at these dazzling designs; I'm in awe! (I won't think about the possible errors for now.)

I like the design of the front part! It's not very special, but it looks cool. I can't completely imagine what extending phones will look like; won't they work like folding phones anyway?

Improving the reach of the VR

Unfortunately, traditional consoles are still more reachable and affordable even though they may hit the wall someday; not only for us gamers, but the game developers as well. What do you think the VR developers should improve on?

Oculus headsets are probably the best you can get for regular gaming.  The headsets designed for businesses are spectacular, but they're also super pricey and beyond what most would want to pay.
EmorySmith
We use a different brand at work, but it wouldn't appeal to the common gamer regardless of price.  It's uncomfortable to wear and doesn't work intuitively.   
joserock
I feel like we will never be able to get past the great wall that is the price tag, so VR will remain accessible only for those who can afford it. It probably would be better to make the laptops and computers strong enough to handle VR to widen... See more

Adorable collection

I like the pink mini bluetooth speaker and the music hat in this collection. Wearing a hat that can play music is just so cool. What more can you ask for?

I love it too! Wonder how its interior looks like for it to play music

That hat probably isn't that comfortable, right?  Though, I'll jump on the "it looks cool" bus.  The wooden speaker is a nice addition as well.
