Category5 Lockdown Response: A Message from Robbie Ferguson

Our studio has once again been placed under a state of emergency lockdown. The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to close their doors, and we don't want to be one of those. In order to ensure the longevity of our show -- our business -- Robbie Ferguson, owner of the Category5 TV Network, must take swift and decisive action. In this statement, Robbie will speak about what is happening, what is changing and why, and how viewers can participate in fun ways during this time of necessary change.

Chip manufacturer Qualcomm has unveiled the Snapdragon XR1 AR Smart Viewer Reference Design, and it's a game changer. Delivering high-performance, immersive experiences with lower power consumption, the XR1 is significantly less bulky than similar products coming to market, looking more like a pair of sunglasses than a big VR head mount. The XR1 taps into the performance capabilities of a compatible device such as a smartphone or Windows PC, being tethered by a single USB-C cable and controlled by gestures.

The toxic Crypto Industry: I am right, you are wrong!

February 23, 2021

The crypto-industry is a toxic industry. Similar to politics, people are polarizing by trying to convince everybody else that their point of view is the right one. Especially in a bull market this attitude is not helpful and confuses all those that are joining this industry. Robert Koenig’s recommendation: build your own opinion and try not to listen to people that polarize.
