Solid comparison. Gear is expensive. I’d advise anyone to look inward and say if you have the cash and like what you see, go for it. Personally I like to use my investment until it breaks or is starting to fail before I replace. Get that mileage and max value.
Will the Elgato Wave XLR Pro replace your GoXLR? Check the comparison here. 👇 https://t.co/dyvKB9CHkw

It’s coming. AI is moving too fast and is becoming too productive to be ignored in the creative video space. The more I see it adopted the more curious I get about what this industry looks like I. 5 years. 1 year. Q3. It’s hauling down the lane yall.

Been talking about this internally with other teams. While the MPAA can try to issue DMCAs, this isn't going away. Eventually they will all bend the knee. The train is moving too fast and too well. Sadly this will mean a cataclysmic shakeup for all creative industries.
It's happening. The MPA just told ByteDance to "immediately cease" Seedance 2.0, calling it "massive copyright infringement." I've been posting Seedance clips all week. The Tom Cruise x Brad Pitt rooftop fight alone has millions of views. Deadpool writer Rhett Reese: "It's

Microsoft has reportedly admitted that Windows 11 development went "off track," prioritizing aggressive AI and Copilot pushes over core stability and basic user features. The company is now scaling back new Copilot integrations and plans to fix Windows 11 in 2026.
