Inside the streaming site Kick

One day this summer, internet personality Adin Ross switched on his camera and started broadcasting himself live to thousands of fans, sipping a Yerba Mate drink and nodding along to Lil Uzi. Ross soon cut the music and started talking, assuring his fans that he would livestream Jake Paul’s coming boxing match, even though it would violate copyright laws. “I’ll pay the fines,” he promised. Later, he streamed himself playing online slot machines and blackjack on a gambling site, Stake. Once, he streamed pornography. He has…

Amazon announces three new serverless offerings to kick off re:Invent

Amazon kicked off AWS re:Invent, its annual customer conference, in Las Vegas tonight with a few new serverless offerings designed to make it easier to manage Aurora, Elastic Cache and Redshift serverless services. Matt Wood, AWS VP, says that Aurora Serverless is great for getting up and running very quickly with a cloud database, but over time, once you get to very, very high scale, and you’re  dealing with tens of millions of customers, or millions of different records, it becomes challenging…

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk will kick your butt

After a rocky year, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s story is coming to an end next month. Its second DLC, The Indigo Disk, will conclude its bonus Hidden Treasure of Area Zero arc on December 14. That’ll close out the series’ most scrutinized set of games to date, which were lambasted at launch for performance issues and poor visual quality. The Indigo Disk certainly won’t reverse that narrative, but it at least has a shot at sending disappointed fans home happy — especially after the underwhelming Teal Mask expansion.…

Wasabi offers a memory-boosting kick to an aging brain

If you’ve ever misjudged the potency of a dollop of wasabi on your sushi, you’ll be well versed in its ability to clear sinuses and, for a moment, have you feeling like you can see through space and time.

Now, for the first time, it has been shown to improve short- and long-term memory, and bolster associative memory, in the brains of people aged 60-80…

This Minesweeper roguelite is my new Steam Deck buddy

Despite the fact that I can run console-quality games on my Steam Deck, that’s not usually what I actually want play on the device. Instead, I’m always looking for smaller games that are better suited to the console’s portable nature — ones that won’t drain my battery in under two hours. I dug into Brotato earlier this summer and have been slowly making my way through Dave the Diver, but my latest handheld obsession is even smaller: a quirky indie puzzle game called Let’s! Revolution! Let's! Revolution! - Official…

iPhone 15 production will kick off early to tackle high demand

While the launch date of the coming iPhone 15 series is still months away, production is already taking place. By starting production early, this device will be readily available for purchase once it launches in a few months. This will make access to the device easier than users found it with the iPhone 14 series that were quickly sold off after launch. As a result of high demand and relatively low production, the 14 series was hard to come by after its launch. Apple is trying to work on that issue with their coming…

Orders for the Humane Wearable AI Projector kick off this year

The Humane Wearable AI Projector which will soon be on sale is proof that technology is rapidly evolving. This piece of technology took the spotlight during a TED Talk about a month ago. Most people present really had to take in a lot regarding how much this AI projector is able to do. The idea of this projector is to further shrink technology and make it blend into our everyday life. Over the past few years, netizens have seen a decrease in the size of tech products, from bulky monitors to AR glasses. Technology is…
