Sentient Audio - headset that applies bone conduction technology Bone conduction technology allows you to transmit sound via vibrations directly to the ear, bypassing the eardrum. Thus, the user still hears the surrounding sounds, but no one else hears what is being played through headphones. To control the headset, touch panels supporting 6 gestures are installed on the outside of each earphone. You can use Sentient CONNECT or third-party applications to assign functions.

#YouTube unveils ‘Hype,’ a new way for fans to help smaller creators grow their reach YouTube has introduced a new "Hype" feature to help smaller creators grow their audience. Available on videos from creators with fewer than 500,000 subscribers, viewers can "hype" a video by clicking a button under the "like" button. Videos with more "hypes" will climb a leaderboard of the top 100 hyped videos. Users are limited to three hypes per week to prevent abuse, but YouTube plans to allow fans to buy more in the future, creating a new revenue stream. https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/18/youtube-unveils-hype-a-new-way-for-fans-to-help-smaller-creators-grow-their-reach/
