The Mega Drop: Analogue Pocket, Pixel 4 Face Unlock Security Concerns, and Studio Ghibli on HBO Max
In today's tech and gaming news we talked about:
-The Analogue Pocket. A Gameboy Pocket lookalike that uses 2 FPGAs that allows you to play Game Boy, GBC, and GBA games natively without emulation. It also has a digital audio workstation called Nanoloop built in!
- Pixel 4 Face Unlock Security risks. The Pixel 4 face unlock feature works even without your prompting and without you even needing to open your eyes. Yikes! Don't let someone you don't trust around your new Pixel 4.
-Studio Ghibli's entire library is coming to HBO Max. But is it too expensive to even be worth it?
-nVidia Shield TV Pro leaked. Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 2xUSB 3.0 ports for storage and more. Launching October 28th for $199.
