I reviewed the Razer Kiyo V2 X webcam! Razer removed the built-in ring light from the original model, so this is just an expensive 1440p camera that only really works with Windows.
Razer's 1440p Kiyo webcam is missing the feature I wanted the most
Better than the webcam in your drawer, but not $100 better.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Google wants Android to be the next big PC operating system, but I think it's just going to be ChromeOS again. #android #linux
Is Android really the next big desktop operating system?
Google says Android-powered laptops are coming in 2026. Will they actually matter, though?
