The news that Netflix is trying to buy Warner Bros. didn’t ever look like it would be good for game players, but a recent investor call by the streamer suggests things are a whole lot worse than we previously imagined. Netflix co-CEO Gregory Peters told investors that when it came to Warner’s gaming division, it didn’t even factor it into the $83 billion dollar deal. It was apparently considered to add nothing to the company’s overall value, because “they’re relatively minor compared to the grand scheme of things.” Warner Bros. Games hasn’t exactly shone of late, with multiple closures of…
Called AVIRIS-5, it’s the latest in a long line of sensors pioneered by NASA JPL to survey Earth, the Moon, and other worlds.

As you might guess, triple drivers and fancy codecs add to the cost. To keep the H3’s price as accessible as possible, Soundpeats made some compromises in other areas. The case feels a bit cheap and plasticky, and it doesn’t have wireless charging. The earbuds lack wear sensors for music auto-pause, and despite using the latest Bluetooth 5.4 protocol, there’s no support for Auracast. You don’t get spatial audio modes or headtracking.Once I found the right size, I was impressed by the passive noise isolation. You may find it’s all you need for not-so-noisy environments. You can kick on the…
