YouTube's blocking of ad blockers isn't a "small experiment" anymore

Back in June, YouTube announced that it was running a "small experiment" globally where it urged a tiny subset of people using ad blockers to disable them if they want to view content on the platform. This is no longer a "small experiment". YouTube now says it's launching a global effort to crack down on ad blockers and encourage users to either allow ads or pay for YouTube Premium (where there are no ads). This comes straight from YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton. When you run into YouTube's ad blocker block, you'll see a message like the one in the screenshot...

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus Open is great, but buyers balk at the price

Economies of scale mean that once a product becomes popular, it costs less too. But that causes a Catch-22 – it’s difficult for an expensive product to become popular. Right now that is the problem facing foldables, especially the horizontal variety. Last week’s poll shows that the OnePlus Open is a very promising phone. It might even be the best in class that the markets outside of China have seen. And yet... well, the pie chart speaks for itself, 40% of voters have interest in the Open, but find it too pricey. To be fair, it costs less than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold5 (unless you get in...

Meta Quest 3 review

The Meta Quest 3 is a VR headset, but its guts are closer to a phone than any other gadget. Having reviewed the Quest 2 and spent countless hours with just about every other VR headset out there I was curious to see how latest Metaa device performs. My love for all things VR dates back to the original HMD (Vive DK1), followed by various experiments with Samsung's Gear VR, Google's Cardboard and Daydream platforms, and View headsets. I liked the original Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and Pimax 4K but arguably spent the most time with Lenovo Explorer Windows Mixed Reality, before moving to the...
