Apple held an event on the 7th of May, which was known before it was streamed as the Let Loose event. It concentrated completely on iPads, with new versions of every iPad model announced. However, Apple also announced new updates to their Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro Apps — as well as others — that will enhance film production on an iPad, while also flirting with AI as well.

The M1 Pro MacBook Pro was announced by Apple back in October 2021, carrying on from the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M1 Chip, 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Chip and Mac Mini with the M1 Chip, which were all released in the year long forgotten, also known as 2020. The chip that it technically comes with is an M1 Pro, but you can also get a version with an M1 Max Chip. However, as of 2024, it has been discontinued, but you can still get refurbished versions through Apple and Amazon as well, though you won’t get them for anything cheaper than still a thousand and something pounds, because it is still a new enough model.
In this episode, you get to hear my review.

The Nintendo DSi was first launched back in 2008, and was the 3rd DS console to ever be released.
It was the first DS to include a camera (before even smartphones were capable of taking pictures), as well as being the first to get an audio player.
However, while the DSi (and other consoles in the family) were groundbreaking for the time, there were a lot of games that were very inaccessible.
That's why I contacted the Special Effect Gaming Charity to customise a DS for me, which I have now been loaning for some time.
In this episode, I test 5 more games on this customised DSi.
