You will be forgiven if you think DWorld is just another aspiring metaverse project similar to The Sandbox or Second Life. For Di Giovanni, she sees the metaverse, not as an escape, but as a parallel world that is persistent and that can really represent the real world and society. “It is not something that is gamified – it is something that complements our real world.” 

I spent a few weeks with the GoPro HERO12 Black and can finally talk about my experiences. Together with the unit, I also acquired the Max Lens Mod 2.0 and the underwater casing.

Editor’s Note: This is a retelling of an original post, with the addition of photos taken with the OPPO Find N3 Flip with Hasselblad lenses. There’s a bike route I’ve been following more often.

These three features really just cater to the mainstream binger watcher who likes to keep a device plugged in without having to worry about overcharging. The phone prevents battery degradation by learning usage habits so…

For the price of P4,899 you get yourself some form of security knowing where your child is at all times. Available in blue and pink, it’s honestly the perfect holiday gift for parents with kids under 10 years old.
