Video Replay on Twitch!

HAPPY MONDAY! Last week was kind of a slow news week, but we're making up for it now! Twitter continues to be a dumpster fire. Filmic dumps their staff. Playstation drops the license to content you paid for. Spotify made money this year, so they need to layoff staff too! Reddit is rolling out a pretty redesign. Samsung pays a LOT for Qualcomm's chips. And should we be concerned about the performance on the Vivo X100 Pro? Let's get our tech week started right!
