What does Oppo's move mean for Switzerland? Who is the PS5 Slim for? What are the Pixel 8 and Pixel Watch 2 good for? All this and more in this episode.

Smartphone manufacturer Oppo is withdrawing from Switzerland with immediate effect. We talk about the reasons and the consequences of this move. Sony has unveiled two or one new Playstation 5. The drive becomes an add-on, which sends a clear signal for the future.

We tried out the Pixel 8, the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel Watch 2. Google has achieved a good result with the two smartphones and the smartwatch, but certain concerns remain.

The Netflix film "They Cloned Tyrone" makes you smile. In the film, an inconspicuous trio get to the bottom of a conspiracy that may have something to do with the secret production of clones. The documentary "FPS First Person Shooter" is also worth watching. It tells the fascinating story of first-person shooters with numerous interviews with the developers. A treat for all game fans.

Finally, we hop over to the games corner, where one of the absolute highlights of the year awaits you with "Super Mario Bros. Wonder"

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
