  • Language matters!

    I was trying to listen to the ‘Apple turns 50’ chat but after a while I just gave up - I encountered a constant flow of ‘like.. you know.. like.. you know..’ Like, you know, in every, like, meaning, you know. It gets kinda, you know, like, tiresome. Language, you know, matters.

  • Horrible Podcast

    Had to unsubscribe from this podcast - this is suppose to be a tech podcast,but the horrible insertion of political points of views are intolerable.The presenters of this podcast even acknowledge the poor ratings of this podcast on Apple Podcasts due their political opinions - some free advice,maybe listen to the feedback from listeners that have to consume your podcast.

Q: Final question for you Dipin, do projectors even matter anymore?
Projectors still offer a distinct cinema-like experience and can be a great option in space-constrained or backyard setups; ultra-short-throw models can bring big-screen impact into smaller rooms, though calibration is essential for best results.
