MrBeast Files Lawsuit Against his own Fast-food Chain, MrBeast Burger

By

Aug 2, 2023

Massively popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, has lodged a lawsuit against Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC), the firm behind his delivery-only fast food chain, MrBeast Burger. The issue stems from an alleged disregard for quality in favour of rapid expansion by VDC, ruining the popular YouTuber’s brand that sells burgers throughout the States.

The lawsuit states that VDC was capitalizing on MrBeast to lure in other clients without focusing on MrBeast Burger

Reports suggest that the company’s focus on swift growth led to substandard food that negatively impacted the brand’s image. The suit filed by MrBeast aims to dissolve the licensing agreement and shut down the operation altogether, citing egregious flaws in food quality and service.

Negative reviews of the brand abound, with customers labelling the burgers as “inedible” and “revolting.” A multitude of customer complaints revolve around raw meat, cold fries, missing ingredients, and orders that never materialized. Some of the ghost kitchen locations botched the branding aspect, delivering food in generic packaging or even 7-11 bags.

The YouTube star’s legal team asserts that VDC failed to rectify these quality issues despite being approached. Further, they contend that MrBeast has not been compensated despite being owed royalties. Adding fuel to the fire, the suit also alleges that VDC often registers trademarks and uses branding without prior approval.

The lawsuit indicates that VDC is exploiting the MrBeast brand to lure in other celebrities while neglecting support for new brick-and-mortar establishments that could potentially slice into its profits.

In 2020, the collaboration was initiated as a pandemic response strategy to boost delivery services and aid fans and restaurants when dining in wasn’t viable. Unfortunately, the business model’s weaknesses have been exposed as ghost kitchens aren’t held to the same regulatory standards as traditional restaurants.

Microsoft will Offer Replacement Parts for Xbox Controllers

Inflation also seems to be affecting gaming peripherals worldwide, with prices shooting through the roof. Usually, the controllers retail between $60 to $180, which can leave players with a hefty bill when replacement is the only option. However, Microsoft is trying to change the game with a revolutionary approach to controller self-repair, providing a potentially significant cost-saving opportunity for gamers.

Other brands, such as Sony and Nintendo have similar, yet different DIY repair strategies for their controllers

Microsoft’s groundbreaking solution extends to Xbox Wireless Controller models, including the Elite Series 2. This initiative promises downloadable instructions, tutorial videos, and, most importantly, replacement parts such as boards, sticks, buttons, covers, and more, available directly from Microsoft. Prior to this, gamers had to rely on potentially unreliable third-party fixes or replace the entire gamepad, often a costly idea.

The range of issues that can be addressed is comprehensive, covering problems from stick drifting to jammed shoulder buttons. Prices for the repair components vary, with button sets costing $24, a circuit board and motor assembly unit at $60, and a vibration motor at $35. Even replacement cases are on offer, albeit only in black and white.

This groundbreaking program is already operational, according to product lead Brad Rossetti, inviting all Xbox gamers with damaged controllers to breathe new life into their devices. Moreover, the initiative extends to third-party retailers, including self-repair experts iFixit.

While Microsoft’s initiative is indeed noteworthy, it’s not alone in the gaming industry’s evolving stance on DIY repairs. Sony’s DualSense Edge controller includes replacement control stick modules as a standard. However, unlike Microsoft, Sony does not sell additional repair parts through an online platform. Nintendo, while not selling repair components, provides free repair service for its controllers affected by the notorious Joy-Con drift. More companies should adopt this approach to retain customers who value their gaming controllers.

Latest Apple Patent Hints towards Vision Pro Head-Mounted Display that can Mimic Odours & more!

By

Aug 2, 2023

Once again, Apple has acquired a technical patent that could revolutionize the way we perceive our environment using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This exciting new patent, numbered US 11715301 B2, enables a proposed headset attachment for the Vision Pro headset to help make phenomena more realistic. Users wearing this headset could interact with a whole new range of sensory experiences, from visualizing radio signals to hearing unique auditory fences designed for pets. It sounds like the future, but this seems to be happening right now!

The patent discusses integrating real-world content with CGI elements

According to the patent list issued by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), the innovative technology will likely bridge the gap between AR, VR, and the physical world. This will be accomplished by integrating real-world content with computer-generated elements, thereby enabling wearers to perceive special features.

Among the invisible features earmarked for visualization are electromagnetic signals such as Wi-Fi, airflow from HVAC systems, and the temperature of physical objects. The patent also mentions the potential for users to interact with auditory sensors for pets and sounds produced by musical instruments. However, the innovation doesn’t stop at visual and auditory experiences. Apple’s Vision Pro headset might offer an olfactory dimension to AR and VR. The patent details suggest the device could mimic various odours, simulating one or more pre-defined scents of gas, vapour, or particles.

This technology’s applications are seemingly limitless. For example, the patent outlines a scenario where users entering a virtual flower shop could smell the fragrance of the blooms or sense the aroma of fresh fruit in a simulated fruit store. This opens up a new dimension of sensory experience in virtual and augmented realities, further blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds. Gaming will also reach new heights with technology such as this!

Aug 1, 2023

Samsung is gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of its Galaxy S24 series early next year, and recent leaks from tipster Ice Universe have revealed some exciting specifications, display, battery, and design details.

Battery Specs:

The upcoming Galaxy S24+ and S24 Ultra models are expected to see improvements in battery capacity. The TUV certification database shows that the S24+ will feature a 4755mAh battery (typical value 4900mAh), compared to the S23+’s 4700mAh capacity.

The S24 Ultra, on the other hand, will retain the same 4855mAh capacity (typical value 5000mAh) as its predecessor. There are also rumors suggesting that the S24 series may support faster 65W charging, possibly leveraging electric vehicle battery technology.

Processor and Performance:

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ has appeared in Geekbench 6 benchmarks, revealing a single-core score of 2233 and a multi-core score of 6661. The benchmark confirms that the S24+ will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 8GB of RAM.

However, the entire Galaxy S24 series may not use only one processor, as the tipster Ice Universe has confirmed the return of the Samsung Exynos 2400 processor. The Exynos 2400 is expected to have 10 CPU cores and its GPU benchmark score is said to surpass that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The actual performance of this processor is eagerly anticipated. This processor is expected to come in some regions of Europe and Asia.

Design:

Design-wise, the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models are expected to feature LTPO screen with narrower bezels, according to tipster Ice Universe. As for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it is likely to retain the design language of its predecessor, the S23 Ultra, with the possibility of an added titanium frame.

Display and Camera:

The display size of the Galaxy S24+ is expected to increase slightly to 6.65 inches from the previous model’s 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. The Galaxy S24 Ultra might not include variable zoom capabilities, sticking with the quad-camera setup of its predecessor. The selfie camera upgrade is also unlikely.

With these promising enhancements in battery capacity, processing power, and design, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the smartphone market. As we await the official unveiling, there are many more leaks on the way. So stay tuned.

OnePlus Open launch might have been delayed for good reason

Aug 1, 2023

A OnePlus foldable is very much real, and the company even hinted its name in a recent teaser. The company’s first folding phone will be called OnePlus Open, and it is rumored to launch on August 29. However, the launch of the smartphone is said to be delayed for a ‘good reason.’ The company apparently decided to make last-minute display changes, switching manufacturers all the way from China to South Korea.

OnePlus Open to use Samsung displays instead of BOE

Max Jambor claims on Twitter/X that OnePlus has delayed the launch of its first foldable phone. The reason behind the delay is that OnePlus decided to switch from using BOE panels to Samsung-made displays. Jambor hints that BOE panels didn’t meet the expected standards, and Samsung’s displays are known to be better. So, this could actually be good news for the upcoming phone.

OnePlus Open was supposed to be a book-style foldable, similar to the new Galaxy Z Fold 5. Initially, it was reported to launch on August 29, but now the date has been pushed back, so you can expect its debut in late 2023. If the rumors are true, OnePlus Open should be a rebranded Oppo Find N3, expected to launch in China sometime this month.

The folding phone is rumored to have a 6.3-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz cover screen and a 7.8-inch foldable AMOLED display with Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will not be released until October.

The phone is expected to have a 4,805mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. It will run on Android 13, specifically the OxygenOS Fold variant.

The competition in the handheld gaming console market is increasing day by day. This technology, which saw its golden age with the PSP and was thought to never return to its former glory, has been on the rise since the introduction of the Nintendo Switch in 2018. also the recent success of the Steam Deck has encouraged other companies as well.

For instance, we have seen products like the Asus ROG Ally recently, and it’s known that PlayStation is also working on a similar product. Now, according to the latest reports, Lenovo is developing a Windows PC gaming handheld named ‘Legion Go’. Here are the details…

Will the Legion Go Be the Best Handheld Gaming Computer on the Market?

Lenovo continues to attract attention with its products aimed at gamers under the Legion brand. The company once successfully drew attention especially with its gaming smartphones. However, failing to achieve what it wanted in the market, Lenovo recently stopped producing gaming phones. Nevertheless, according to emerging information, the company does not want to discard its experience in mobility.

Right now, there isn’t a lot of information about the Lenovo Legion. It’s known that, like the Rog Ally, it will be a device focused on performance. The power for this handheld device will come from AMD’s Phoenix processor. The screen size will be about 8 inches.

A few years ago, Lenovo was working on a similar device called the Legion Play, but it was never released. However, the design of the Legion Play might give us an idea of what the Legion Go will look like. Right now, we’re not sure when this gaming computer will be ready for people to buy, or even if it will ever come out. Unfortunately we have no choice but to wait right now.

Aug 1, 2023

With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 set to launch in October, rumors about Qualcomm’s next year’s flagship have started to swirl. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC is expected to launch sometime in late 2024. While we’re still many months away, a well-known leaker has shared the chipset will be based on TSMC’s new 3nm process node. The chip is also rumored to pack Nuvia’s Phoenix cores. Here are the details.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could launch late next year

Digital Chat Station has revealed key details about the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. According to the tipster, the chipset will have two Phoenix cores and six Phoenix M cores. For those who are not familiar, Phoenix cores are a new generation of ARM-based CPU cores designed by Nuvia. However, the company has licensed its technology to Qualcomm, so the cores may be given a different name.

The tipster also claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be manufactured on TSMC’s N3E process. This is the second iteration of TSMC’s 3nm process node, which is said to offer a better yield, which means that more chips will be produced correctly, reducing production costs. Apple’s A17 chip is also rumored to be made on the 3nm process by TSMC, but on the first iteration, N3.

The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is still based on the 4nm process, but it is claimed to offer a major boost in performance without sacrificing efficiency. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, on the other hand, is also expected to deliver a significant performance leap.

We don’t yet know which phones will be powered by the new chipset, but Samsung, Oppo, and Xiaomi are likely candidates. These companies tend to use the latest Qualcomm chips in their flagships.
