The Catchup

Listen Later

This week, it's an all-tech episode of The Catchup, with plenty to talk about! First, Google moves to drop stadia, it highly-invested game streaming platform, after a lack of success. Some say it's another round of Google implementing new tech that's not profitable. But what's the reason for the drop? And how does it affect online gaming? We discuss.

Plus, more big changes at Google, this time on their YouTube platform. The company is apparently considering making YouTube videos recorded in 4K only available if you pay for premium. Otherwise, you'll be watching the videos in 1080P. Why yet another move to entice people into their premium platform? We're already bombarded with more ads in an attempt to get us to sign up. What are the perks of YouTube Premium then, and is it worth the cost? Spoiler Alert: Apple users can get it cheaper than they think.

Then, Apple may finally be dropping it's lightning cables in favor of more widely-accepted technologies. What's the reason for this move and why now? What does this mean for Apple fanatics who have decked out their homes with lightning tech? And could Apple skip USB-C altogether in favor of a different tech? We dive into it!
