It ’s ultimately the weekend , which mean it ’s once again time for us to name our succeeder and loser from this week in technical school .
This week saw the launch of the extremely - anticipated God of War ( 2018 ) sequelGod of War Ragnarök , some very earlyPixel 8 leaksand the first lot ofBlack Fridaydeals go far out front of the vast sale later this month .
Scroll down to let out who we pick as our winner and loser this week …
Winner: LG
Our victor this week is LG after the companionship unveil a potentially secret plan - changing new display tech .
The technology , which LG has nominate the“Stretchable ” showing , is apparently the world ’s first 12 - inch gamey - solvent show to achieve 20 % stretchability . This essentially mean that the CRT screen can be extended , close and twisted without have from any damage or distorted shape .
The exhibit , which is based on the same silicon substratum used in contact lenses , expend a micro - LED light source . It has a resolution of 100ppi and supports full - colour RGB , allowing it to compete with many existing monitors , according to the blade .
It ’s apparently pretty long-lasting , too . A flexible S - form spring - wire structure allows the blind to be extend from 12 - inches to 14 - inches while also defy “ significant outside wallop ” .
While we ’re belike a way off from seeing this tech put to habituate in the real universe , LG is already visualize a all-inclusive reach of scenario for the stretchy display . For example , it could be attached to curved surfaces , like clothing , furniture , cars , planes and even skin .
Withfoldabledisplays making their way onto more and more smartphones and rollable screens on the horizon , it seems only a matter of prison term before a stretchable equipment makes its debut .
Loser: Twitter
Twitter has mostly remained steady over the past ten , with its big malicious gossip being the large amount of bots that pullulate the site and whatever Donald Trump was doing before his account was suspended in 2021 .
However , that all changed this workweek when new possessor Elon Musk set up his reimaging of the site ’s Twitter Blue subscription divine service .
For the low price of $ 7.99/£6.99 a calendar month , you too can now see fewer ad , post long videos , have your tweet prioritise on the platform and see your account verify with the same grim tick previously reserved for the like of Joe Biden , the BBC , Beyonce and Musk himself .
Of these features , the juicy tick has because of far the biggest uproar on the site , with many exploiter pointing out the obvious effect of let people verify their own accounts forthe Leontyne Price of a Starbucks Frappuccino .
We ’ve seen verified accounts station tweets ascribe to the like of Nintendo of America , LeBron James andJesus Christ himself , and that is n’t even to cite the explanation pose as companies and celebs to spread dodgy links , redact your personal data at endangerment .
Other site have made merriment of the situation , with Tumblr currently selling a bargain two - pack of “ Important Blue net Checkmarks ” for $ 7.99 with seemingly no limit to how many you’re able to buy .
As of writing this column on Friday , we ’ve noticed that the button that ask for you to join Twitter Blue has mysteriously vanished on some of our chronicle , with the app now claim the subscription will be available in our location shortly ( this was n’t the case on Thursday ) .
What all of this agency for Twitter Blue has yet to be seen but , in the meantime , you may get a small coup d’oeil of the chaos that result on the internet site this hebdomad in thisthread .
