Livestreaming service Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, announced at its annual TwitchCon event earlier this year that it would move into the vertical video space. Now those initial alpha tests have gone live with a few streamers, according to findings from market intelligence provider Appsensa.

The feature, once fully rolled out, would make Twitch more competitive with other popular vertical video services like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Ten Years of TwitchCon: Here’s…
External GPUs (eGPUs) like Razer’s latest could supercharge slim laptops and handhelds for AAA gaming or creative work, especially as Thunderbolt 5 ramps up bandwidth. But with fewer all-in-one features, it’s a mixed bag for users craving simplicity. You need to buy more accessories for the Core X V2 encloser to make sense. The big idea: Razer is back in the eGPU game after a six-year hiatus, unveiling the Core X V2 enclosure alongside a new Thunderbolt 5 Dock.

Summer is around the corner, and with it comes talk of the Google Pixel 10. This year, the Made by Google event is scheduled for August 20. At 1 pm ET (10 am PT), the keynote kicks off for what we expect to be a Pixel-packed fest. The Google Pixel 9 has been enjoying its time in the sun for the last 11 months, thanks to its stunning cameras, spectacular battery life, spontaneous use of Gemini AI, and a matte finish on par with the iPhone 16. We’ve also seen the affordable Pixel 9a launch, which really does leave things…
To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line.
