How Burning Man VR rebuilt after Microsoft shut it down

theverge.com Janko Roettgers 2025-11-11 03:30:00

It was all just supposed to be a one-time thing. When Burning Man got canceled because of covid-19 in 2020, a number of attendees banded together to re-create the festival on the social VR platform Altspace. That virtual Burning Man experience not only attracted around 13,000 visitors, but also accolades from the Producers Guild of America. The success led to the decision to keep the digital version of Burning Man going even when the real-life festival returned in 2021. BRCvr, named after the f

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro has a new feature that allows you to show your lock screen wallpaper on the always-on display (AOD).

Raising multiple rounds of venture capital might be wrong for your startup

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-11 08:00:00

There’s a generally accepted script in Silicon Valley: Identify a startup idea. Sell a chunk of your company to raise venture capital. Make sales. Raise more venture capital, and make more sales. Repeat until the company goes public, or gets acquired, hopefully for billions either way. But what if you didn’t get on a fundraising treadmill after taking a first round? What if you structured your company to sprint to profitability through slower, sustainable growth, rather than the reverse — unpro
