Why are the new Macs more versatile than ever? What does Shot on iPhone really mean? Do adblockers no longer work on YouTube? How scary (good) is "Alan Wake 2"? All this and more in episode 173.

Apple presented new Macs at the "Scary Fast" event. They are available with new chips and significantly more performance levels than before. But who needs faster Macs anyway? The event was also filmed on an iPhone. That's true, but it's not quite that simple after all.

Google is getting serious and is clamping down on ad blockers for YouTube. What does this mean for users?

Disney has drastically revised the cast of the seven dwarves for the live-action film adaptation of "Snow White". Previously it was "too woke". Whether this will appease the angry internet mob is questionable.

We have no doubts about the style of BBC's "Planet Earth 3". The third season of the legendary documentary series impresses with breathtaking nature shots and a gripping narrative style.

"Alan Wake 2" is also gripping and beautiful - albeit in a completely different way. Here you can expect a cosily creepy horror story presented in a unique way.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
