In a move to further refine its live streaming experience, Twitch has unveiled a new "Discovery Feed" feature that it says has been in development for years and is a direct response to community feedback.This feature, which can best be compared to TikTok clips, will showcase a personalized mix of Clips in a scrollable feed on the Twitch app, with the goal of aiding streamers in reaching a wider audience, particularly when they are offline"Because Twitch is all about live, interactive channels, it’s not our goal for viewers to spend hours in a Clips feed. Our investment in Clips is to help viewers discover your channel so they join you and your community when you stream," shared Twitch in a blog post.Additionally, Twitch is giving content creators more autonomy over their Clips.

MARKET and Retrospekt have joined forces to create a Polaroid camera inspired by the ‘80s and ‘90s. With the camera, the brands wanted to create a design that provoked a sense of joyful nostalgia.Retrospekt recreates devices using second-hand vintage parts, meaning its releases typically arrive in a limited run and no two are exactly alike. For this collaboration, two different colorways of the Polaroid 600 camera were created, one with a white body and orange accents and the other with a teal body and purple accents. The camera features a label with both the Polaroid and MARKET logos. The MARKET logo appears on a second, additional badge on the body, this time in the abbreviated “MKT.”At the bottom of the camera, right above where the developed film shoots out is a kind message, reading, ...

If you hear the name Bose and think "headphones", you're probably not alone. The Massachusetts-based brand is best known for its noise-cancelling headphones – a technology its founder, Dr. Bose, is credited with inventing in the 1980s – that we've featured in our best product round-ups this year here and here. Perhaps less well-known is the brand's backstory. You won't find tales on the internet of late nights spent tinkering in the family garage, like stories of Steve Jobs and the start of Apple that have become hardwired into our collective consciousness. But Bose isn't Apple and, while the companies are leaders in their respective fields, the similarities stop there.Bose was founded in 1964 by Amar Gopal Bose, a Bengali-American academic and entrepreneur. Instead of a garage, the brand'...

Bowers & Wilkins’ newest addition to its speaker lineup is geared toward those who enjoy the high-quality audio provided by vinyl. With the 600 Series S3, the brand is seeking to recreate that experience, bringing new upgrades to its already well-regarded speaker systems.The new offerings encompass four different speakers, each of which was created for a different purpose. Starting off, the floor-standing 603 S3 amplifies sound to fill an entire room with music. The 606 S3 stand mount, meanwhile, is larger than a bookshelf version but can still be conveniently and subtly displayed in the corner of a room.For those looking for a smaller product, the 607 S3 bookshelf speaker is compact and more discreet than its fellow pieces of hardware but can also be mounted if one chooses. Those seek...

OpenSea, one of Web3's first established NFT trading platforms and leading platforms by volume, has found itself in the spotlight this week. This is due to its decision earlier in the week to stop honoring creator royalties and as a result of an ex-employee involved in an insider trading case receiving his sentence.The employee in question, Nathaniel Chastain, was once a product manager at the platform and was convicted on charges of fraud and money laundering in the federal court of Manhattan, a first-of-its-kind case for digital assets according to prosecutors. The 33-year-old defendant was found guilty of using his insider knowledge to buy NFT collections just before they would be featured on the platform's homepage and then sell them shortly after.Presiding U.S. District Judge Jesse Fu...
