Dream, a popular YouTuber, showcased innovative technology at Orlando's MegaCon that allows players to insert their own images into Minecraft using 360 cameras and virtual reality techniques. He aims to foster community engagement rather than seeking financial gain, envisioning virtual conventions or meet-and-greets within the game. Despite technical difficulties during the demonstration, he remained positive and emphasized the importance of preparation. Dream plans to expand the technology's capabilities, potentially incorporating an omnidirectional treadmill, and noted that the setup operates on a consumer-friendly 4090 PC with accessible alternatives for cameras.

Monster Hunter Wilds attracted over a million concurrent players shortly after its launch, surpassing the previous record set by Monster Hunter Worlds and other major titles like Elden Ring. Many PC players reported performance issues, including frame rate drops and graphical glitches. A Steam user named BeepBoop discovered a typo in the game’s configuration files, where "Resolution" was misspelled as "Resoltuion." Correcting this typo reportedly resulted in a noticeable performance boost for some players, with claims of improved frame rates. Some users reported increases in their average frame rates from 120fps to 140fps, while others experienced a boost of around 20fps. However, not all players found success with this fix, leading to speculation about the placebo effect.

Drivers using the TomTom GO app on Android Auto have reported technical difficulties, including error messages and display malfunctions, particularly after a recent update. In February, users expressed dissatisfaction with the app's performance, with one user noting it failed to display in their car. TomTom previously introduced a "truck plan" for larger vehicles, offering tailored navigation considering size and weight restrictions. Last December, Android Auto users experienced audio stuttering and error notifications, leading to advice to use version 13.3 until issues were resolved. In early 2023, Google improved the Android Auto experience by integrating it into the Polestar 2, adding features like HD Radio and enhanced phone connectivity.
