The WAN Show Piracy Is Over Party - WAN Show April 12, 2024
The 6-Watt Monitor
- Linus discusses a 31.5-inch monitor with 2200 nits peak brightness that draws only six watts.
- The monitor achieves this by using a mirror-like surface instead of a backlight, similar to a Game Boy Advance.
Addressing Piracy and Media Acquisition
- Consider regional pricing to combat piracy and increase accessibility.
- Offer permanent copies of media to address consumer frustration with streaming services.
Twitch Ads and User Loyalty
- Twitch users remain despite intrusive ad breaks not present on other platforms.
- This suggests users prefer smaller internet communities and resist platform alternatives.
