This week, the tech industry learned of a few updates coming to some of the most popular apps. Over at Elon Musk\u2019s newly-renamed X, the block feature will apparently be removed, as the tech entrepreneur believes it \u201cmakes no sense.\u201d Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, is working on expanding Threads with a desktop version.<\/p>\n

Streaming platform Twitch is currently testing out a beta version of its new \u201cDiscovery Feed,\u201d a way for users to discover content from streamers, even when they\u2019re offline. And on the product side, `Bowers & Wilkins has rolled out a line of four new home speakers.<\/p>\n

Below, Hypebeast has rounded up the top tech stories of the week so you can stay up to date on trends in the industry.<\/p>\n

Creator of high-end audio hardware Bowers & Wilkins has cultivated a new series of speakers designed for vinyl fans. The brand has rolled out the 600 Series S3, a line consisting of four new speakers, each catering to a different purpose.<\/p>\n

Leading the lineup is the floor-standing 603 S3, engineered to fill a room with deep sound. Following that is the 606 S3 stand mount, which is still powerful but can be more covertly displaced in the corner of a room. The 607 S3 bookshelf speaker is designed to live on a shelf or table, while the HTM6 S3 is made to accompany a home entertainment system.<\/p>\n

Each speaker is available in oak, black and white and available now on the brand\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Twitch is taking a note from TikTok with its own version of a \u201cFor You Page.\u201d Dubbed Twitch\u2019s \u201cDiscovery Feed,\u201d the tab showcases a scrollable feed of algorithm-recommended content to users. The feed is intended to help users discover streamers\u2019 content, even when the creator isn\u2019t currently online.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Twitch is all about live, interactive channels, it\u2019s not our goal for viewers to spend hours in a Clips feed,\u201d Twitch wrote in a blog post, noting that the feature has been in the works for years. \u201cOur investment in Clips is to help viewers discover your channel so they join you and your community when you stream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before launching the \u201cDiscovery Feed\u201d to the public, Twitch will be running a beta test to gauge user feedback.<\/p>\n

Amid the ongoing controversies surrounding Elon Musk\u2019s X, Meta is working on expanding Threads. The text-based app will be coming to the web in the form of a desktop version.<\/p>\n

CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the development himself, along with sharing a behind-the-scenes photo of him working on building the website at home. The desktop site hasn\u2019t launched just yet, though Zuckerberg promises it\u2019ll arrive soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cActual footage of me building Threads for web,\u201d he wrote alongside the image. \u201cRolling out over the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elon Musk Said X Will Remove the Block Feature<\/h3>\n

X, the app formerly known as Twitter, will no longer have a block feature, according to Elon Musk. The entrepreneur took to the platform to answer a question from a user who had inquired, \u201cIs there ever a reason to block vs mute someone?\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk responded, saying that the block feature would be removed entirely, as it \u201cmakes no sense,\u201d with the exception of being able to block a user from DMing you. It seems, however, that he won\u2019t actually be able to implement the removal of the block. Reader-contributed context to Musk\u2019s post noted that the absence of a block feature on the X app would violate Apple\u2019s App Store and Google\u2019s Play Store policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the ability to block users was to be removed, X would be in violation of the policies of the App Store as well as the Google Play Store,\u201d the post read. \u201cPotentially, this could lead to X being removed from these platforms.\u201d
