September 26, 2022—National Pancake Day! What better food to help kick off the week than a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes? Waffle lovers... wait your turn, please. | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | 209 articles, 5 podcasts, 8 press releases, 217 tweets, and 13 YouTube videos | | 1. TikTok's New Dislike Button Doesn't Seem Helpful to Creators | TikTok is adding a dislike button for video comments, but it's not really for users. Instead, its purpose is to give the community a more direct way of sharing feedback about unpleasant comments. It sounds noble, we think, but TikTok hasn't specified exactly how it will utilize dislike data. Definitely weird. | 2. Fitbit Devices Will Soon Require a Google Account | Enjoy your Fitbit account while you can, because future Fitbits will require a Google account instead. You have time, though, as existing accounts will continue to be supported through 2025; it's just new Fitbit hardware bought next year that'll be Team Google. Hey, at least you'll get better security, right? | 3. Valve Launches New Steam Charts Section | Valve has debuted a new Steam Charts section for those who really want to know what people are playing on the platform. From top selling games, to most played, to the best releases every month, Steam will show it all. Maybe we can use it as a way to find new games to play? | | Is TikTok mostly a young person's app? Sure, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't spend time on it, too. Based on the numbers above, a decent amount of TikTok users in the US are adults, with a small portion of them being in their 50s. We desperately want to know who their favorite TikTok creators are. | | ๐ฅ Today's Hot Deal | If you really need to add another Amazon device to your roster, the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) isn't a bad way to go. It's down to $39.99 at Amazon right now, and should work nicely with the rest of your Alexa/Echo setup. | | | | "Who is really to blame here?!" —Tim FIsher, Group GM & SVP, Tech | | ๐ You Know You Want It | Not all of us have great lighting in our rooms, which is why you should consider Logitech's new Litra Beam LED light for your setup. It's built for streaming and makes you more visible on camera, so if it's hard to see yourself on stream or during a nighttime broadcast, this is one accessory to get. | | Hackers do what they do best | We tune back into the Darknet Diaries to hear tales about the stock market, team ups between traders and hackers, and making a lot of money. It's a wild ride, and it's not a bad way to spend 50 mins. | | |
