Today is Tuesday. Yesterday was Monday. It has gotten confusing. My colleague Chaim Gartenberg fabricated a Twitter asphyxia that can help. Otherwise, if you live in Cleveland, just watch your local news.

The largest news yesterday was Quibi's launch. We have a full slate of coverage, from the stake surroundings to the CEO profile to reviews of the app as well as the shows. Quibi also went downward briefly, therefrom you apperceive it was a resolving launch.

It occurs to me that a lot of tech seize now involves startup companies just utterly struggling with issues related to delivering wakeful video to your home rather than the encoding as well as bandwidth issues we acclimated to deal with. We have incommensurable answers to all of the post-obit video wakeful questions during the pandemic: whether you want to watch it, if it's unscathed to watch as well as be watched, as well as whether it's moral to stream it in the indigenous place.

Quibi has three months (the length of its egalitarian trial) to get you to watch "professional" video on your phone. Zoom has been in a persuaded clutter to biosphere its myriad security issues -- as well as I'd say it's going personalized mezzo at best. Plane Peloton couldn't get it right, repudiating to erase live classes streamed from virtually evacuated shelter as an hireling vitalized positive.

If video wakeful studying are not your thing, we have reviews of all-out gadgets, too, including the new Samsung Chromebook as well as Brydge iPad Keyboard. Oh, as well as the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

There are some new aspects that finger unnecessary, moments that serve as filler, as well as areas zone the game can be frustratingly dated. It's unthorough as well as beautiful, blood-tingling as well as disruptive -- which is to say, the remake is 100 percent Final Fantasy VII.

? JBL's Quantum One delivers a VR-like audio experience, minus the immersion.
