    Honest question. What is so special about this MKBHD guy. Just looks like another YouTuber to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Yeah, as the other commenter said, he’s not that special and that’s kinda why he’s special?

      To me, he’s got this type of quality of a guy you’d hang out with after work or so. He’s more sociable than quite a few YouTubers but he’s not like Lew or Linus to me. He’s a few notches more on the mellow side.

      In terms of his insights in tech, he focuses a lot on cameras which I think people care about but I don’t. However, I think his production values are top notch. His videos are chill and I like the Waveform podcast he does and some interviews like Hot Ones that he’s done.

      Sadly his newest Shoe was a Cash Grab by the Produktion Company Atomic.

      MKBHD has no clue of shoes and atomics used it to sell a 30$ Sneaker for 190$.

    If you can do so much good with something like pocket sized lidar, why does apple have to lock it away behind a patent. As an AR developer I just don’t understand that.

      It irritates me that I’m going to have to get a cheap iPhone so I can actually make use of the LiDAR. Basically they’re making me get a LiDAR scanner with a bunch of additional features, like a phone function and internet access that I don’t want.

      I’ll probably just get one with a smash screen since I don’t really need it.
