Seinfeld and Crackle team up for new ‘Single Shots’ video series, instant hilarity ensues

Add as a preferred source on Google

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld announced today that he has collaborated once again with Sony’s video-streaming service Crackle to create a series of brief vignettes dubbed Single Shots. The project is an offshoot of Seinfeld’s Emmy-nominated web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, according to Multichannel News.

Each Single Shot episode (like coffee, get it?) will offer about two-minutes runtime, and will apparently feature the same improvisational comedy that Seinfeld began exploring in his 15-20 minute …Coffee series, in a more clip friendly format. The new series’ first installment – Donuts – is available to watch both on Youtube and via Crackle’s official page, and features back-and-forth chats with Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, and Brian Regan. Each episode will center around a single topic, with the fried hoops of dough clearly being the focal point of today’s premiere.

Crackle announced back in May that the fourth season of …Coffee would premiere on June 19th. The fifth and latest episode of the series guest-stars Jon Stewart, and previous episodes this season have featured quips and jabs from Aziz Ansari, Robert Klein, George Wallace, and Sarah Jessica Parker. The new Single Shots episodes include both previously aired material from …Coffee as well as never-before-seen footage, company officials said.

Nothing’s next budget earbuds are coming for boring AirPods clones
Nothing Ear (3a) may bring back some personality to budget earbuds
Nothing Ear (a) deal

Budget wireless earbuds are the most popular kind of wearable tech in the market. But just like smartphones, a lot of these hearables basically look quite similar to one another. Nothing has actively worked on avoiding that trap, and its next affordable earbuds are expected to keep the track going.

The company has just confirmed that Nothing Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST, sharing the stage with the upcoming Nothing Phone (4b). The teaser does not reveal the full spec sheet yet, but it does show the earbuds in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. Nothing’s audio lineup has always leaned on transparent styling and playful color choices to stand out in a sea of AirPods clones.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones just became more tempting for gamers who hate gaming headsets
The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
