    I think the switch 2 will cost $400 -$450

    Maybe, people shouldn’t worry about TiKTok. They should worry about their health and fitness first.

      Well tik tok had a huge sector in health and fitness so….

    Social media has never been good for us. I hope it all goes away.

    What TikTok enthusiasts are feeling is withdrawal. Withdrawal is a symptom of addiction. Leave it behind and let it go.

    Bridget would rather the social media company curate the news information rather than the people who live in the world It’s something to think about

  8. @JosephAang

    I totally agree with all points Bridget has made. I feel the same exact way. People assume it’s just another social but it’s been way more than that. It’s literally been my source of information. My google so to say. It never pushed an agenda on my feed. How I interacted with content is what it showed me. Whether that was cat videos, to fixing cars, to recipes, to the craziness that happened the first week of this year, to the LA fires. It kept us informed. It wasn’t just an entertainment app.

      Source of misinformation and brain rot.

    looks like people are hungry for web 3 even if they don’t know what that means.. if you are interested get into it.. you’ll like what you see..

    TikTok: national security, blame Biden and his terrible censorship regime

    Twitter: with ???? free speech and the end of censorship got restored

  15. @JoeVL99

    January 19, 2025 at 4:59 pm

    The social psychology of it all is astounding when you think of radio then tv and all the clashes that happened as a result of new technology… cyclical. Also tik tok is back lol

    I really hope this kind of tech discussions become a regular part of CNET.

    This is my first time seeing these two chat together podcast-style. Is this a regular thing? I love it.

    I say, have a personal blog to share your life instead of using a social media app or network which may censor you

    Loved hearing both of your thoughts. Please make more of these kinds of videos! Please and thank you. 🙂

    “the top port is definitely not for docking” – says to me : “I don’t have kids using this.”
    my kids broke a switch by trying to play it while plugged in (to charge), but resting it on the cable (which put pressure on the bottom port, breaking it).
    just being able to play this while charging, with a cable on top – is a huge relief to me.

Down rounds carry a stigma, but they’re not always the end of a startup’s story.

Charles Hudson of Precursor Ventures shares an example of a company that survived a difficult fundraising process involving a down round and investor-friendly terms. It wasn’t easy, but making the hard financing decision ultimately gave the company a chance to keep building.

For founders, the lesson is simple: The best fundraising outcome isn’t always the highest valuation — it’s the one that keeps your business alive.
