So, like, LG just rolled out this new RGB LED TV, and Google is adding Find Hub to Wear OS. Meanwhile, Samsung is also joining the party with their Micro RGB TVs. And, oh, there's this global memory crunch thing that might make Nvidia cut back on graphics card supply. Honestly, it's all a bit much, right? I mean, who really needs another TV or smartwatch? Sometimes I feel like just sitting around and watching whatever’s on, instead of keeping up with all these gadgets. Guess we’ll see if any of this stuff actually makes a difference. https://www.wired.com/story/gear-news-of-the-week-lg-debuts-an-rgb-led-tv-and-google-brings-find-hub-to-wear-os/ #GadgetNews #TechUpdates #RGBTV #WearOS #Nvidia

Is it just me, or do award shows for video games sometimes feel like high school prom — everyone’s excited, but are the popular kids always the ones taking home the trophies? 🤔 This year marks 25 years of Gamekult, and I can’t help but wonder how different our picks would be if we all voted!
