However, just like playing a casual game of Uno, this new feature can accidentally cause a breakup between friends.

The DJI Osmo 360 offers a slightly different design than other 360-degree cameras. It doesn’t follow the tall, stick-shaped profile that has become Insta360’s signature. Instead, it’s shorter and more brick-like, with a wider screen. It measures 61 × 36.3 × 81 mm and weighs approximately 183 grams. For context, this makes it slightly lighter than the Insta360 X5, which weighs around 202 grams, and a bit taller and narrower than the GoPro Max. The larger screen gives it a more camera-like feel than most 360 competitors, which is helpful when you’re holding it with one hand. On the front…

The expansion port, as we know it, was introduced with the Xbox 360, its primary use being as a keyboard or headset connector. It makes perfect sense to start the port, as Xbox and its accessory partners have…
