It basically means trend. It’s sorta evolved from the concept of “metagaming” where you’re not just playing the game, you’re gaming the game. People now use “the meta” to refer to the collection of viable strategies for a game, and “the current meta” to refer to what is popular at this moment. This could be types of decks in a card game, character builds in an MMO or a MOBA, or other things like that. Presumably, for twitch, “the meta” is referring to not strategies of playing games, but strategies of gaming twitch. In other words, strategies to maximize viewership and income, and specifically, what is working at any given time.
Someone (possibly recently?) figured out the protocol and how to register a phone number without needing an apple device. Older versions of stuff like this required having a Mac virtual machine and routing messages through it using a user’s AppleID, so this was much easier. I saw a video that was bragging about how this new method would be very difficult to block because doing so could affect regular users, and I just kinda laughed at the naivety.

I don’t care about the headphone jack. Bluetooth earbuds are super convenient, and when I want higher quality I plug in a Fiio BTR5 to the USB-C port and use that to power good headphones. Way better than a built in dac/amp would be.
Is everyone just using AI and not proof reading? I see this a lot lately. Even Tom’s Guide has bad editing, a good example is this article: www.tomsguide.com/news/pixel-8...
Another topic I see a bunch is whenever there’s an article about Samsung folding phones, it inevitably mentions Samsung killing off the Note line. The Note line isn’t dead. S Ultra is the Note. They just renamed it. It’s the same damn phone. Compare a Note 10 to an S 20 Ultra and tell me that’s not the same series. I’ve been using the Note/Ultra since the Note 2. This really highlights that they don’t care to look beyond the surface level and instead they just regurgitate press releases.
