A Tech Affair episode 173: New Macs, YouTube vs. adblockers, "Planet Earth 3", "Alan Wake 2"
Why are the new Macs more versatile than ever? What does Shot on iPhone really mean? Do adblockers no longer work on YouTube? How scary (good) is "Alan Wake 2"? All this and more in episode 173.
Apple presented new Macs at the "Scary Fast" event. They are available with new chips and significantly more performance levels than before. But who needs faster Macs anyway? The event was also filmed on an iPhone. That's true, but it's not quite that simple after all.
Google is getting serious and is clamping down on ad blockers for YouTube. What does this mean for users?
Disney has drastically revised the cast of the seven dwarves for the live-action film adaptation of "Snow White". Previously it was "too woke". Whether this will appease the angry internet mob is questionable.
We have no doubts about the style of BBC's "Planet Earth 3". The third season of the legendary documentary series impresses with breathtaking nature shots and a gripping narrative style.
"Alan Wake 2" is also gripping and beautiful - albeit in a completely different way. Here you can expect a cosily creepy horror story presented in a unique way.

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.
