| It's August 29, 2022—National Lemon Juice Day. We're still in the summer season, so take some time today to think about how refreshing lemonade can be and how the scent of lemon alone can freshen up a room. Happy Monday! | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 302 articles, 6 podcasts, 7 press releases, 297 tweets, and 26 YouTube videos | | | 1. LG's New Monitor Touts a Fast, Responsive 240Hz Refresh Rate | | LG has announced the UltraGear 45GR95QE monitor. It's an OLED, meaning its response times are ultra-fast, but it also includes a 240Hz refresh rate, further speeding it up to near-instantaneous levels. LG says it's the first curved OLED with this refresh rate, but neglected to mention a price. Darn. | | 2. Surprise! Meta's Next VR Headset Arrives in October | | VR fans won't have to wait too long for a new headset to play with, as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed their Oculus 2 sequel launches in October.

Twitter Adds Podcasts to Spaces Tab So You Can Listen and Tweet | | Podcasts. You know 'em, you love 'em, and now you can find them on Twitter. It's true. The platform just announced podcast integration as part of its Spaces rework, because we guess people like listening to audio while they tweet and doom scroll. Go check the Spaces tab now and see what's up. | | | AI. Is it really a threat to the creative process? Well, as far as Charlie Sorrel and the music artists he spoke with are concerned, the answer is no. And, really, some of them look forward to using AI to make jingles and handle other, smaller projects. | | | We all know the big players in the electronics space, but none are more valuable at the moment than Apple, which has a brand value of $355 billion, according to the above graph. With the iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iCloud, iOS, and the incredible integration between it all, how could it be anything less? | | | "Remember when Valve made games?" —Kyree Leary, Associate News Editor | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | It's a water fight... on wheels! | | Go-karts are fun. Now imagine a go-kart that's great at drifting and can shoot water bullets. That's what Segway is pitching with the Ninebot Scooter and Ninebot Mecha Kit combo. And if you can get a couple more for some friends or family, you can all have a good time cruising around. | | |
