Many of the roars in The Lion King (1994) weren’t real.

They were created by Frank Welker, who growled into a metal trash can to produce that deep, powerful sound.

Antes, debido al celuloide, se tenía que filmar con mayor iluminación (tungsten), y podían cerrar más la apertura de la lente, evitando ese desenfoque. Hoy la luz LED es mucho más débil y debe abrirse más lente, causado ese “desenfoque” (mayor profundidad de campo)

'Overwatch' director Jeff Kaplan on what broke him and made him leave Blizzard:

• Blizzard began focusing too much on 'let's make lots of money really fast' and set hefty revenue goals

• He says he was told if the game didn’t hit the benchmarks, 'we're gonna lay off 1,000 people and that's gonna be on you'

"It was the biggest 'fuck you' moment I've had in my career ... I believed I would never work anywhere besides Blizzard ... and I was like 'we're done here'"

"I wish developers would understand their own value more and stop handing the golden goose to people who don't deserve it"

Ticketmaster directors were caught bragging in internal messages about 'robbing [fans] blind'

The messages:

• 'These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad for taking advantage of them'

• 'Robbing them blind, baby. That’s how we do it'

• Charging '$50 to park in the grass' and '$60 for closer grass'

They recently reached a deal with the U.S. government to avoid a breakup over allegations of running an illegal monopoly

France has taken a bold step by making planned obsolescence a criminal offense — meaning companies can now be punished for intentionally designing products to wear out early.

If manufacturers deliberately create electronics or appliances that fail sooner than they should- whether through weak hardware, software updates that slow devices, or other built-in limitations, they can face serious consequences. Penalties include up to two years in prison and fines of €300,000, or as much as 5% of a company’s annual revenue in major cases.

The law grew out of France’s consumer-protection efforts and was strengthened after investigations into phone slowdowns revealed how software could be used to push people into buying replacements.

But this isn’t just about punishment. It’s part of France’s wider “right to repair” movement, which aims to reduce electronic waste, stop hidden forced upgrades, and encourage companies to make products that last longer and can be repaired more easily.

By cracking down on disposable-by-design goods, France is sending a strong signal to manufacturers worldwide: build products to last. The goal is a more sustainable system where items are repaired instead of replaced helping both consumers and the planet.
