Hide YouTube Shorts From Your Feed: Mobile Limits or Desktop Extensions

YouTube doesn’t offer a direct way to turn off Shorts; on mobile you can hide them by setting the Shorts feed limit to 0 minutes via Time management, which removes Shorts from the home feed (refresh if needed). On desktop, use the three‑dot menu to Show Fewer Shorts, or install a browser extension like Unhook to permanently hide Shorts (and optionally other clutter) from your YouTube home feed.

Game Boy Camera goes mobile with Epilogue's Flashback app

The Verge reports that Epilogue has released a Flashback mobile app for iOS/Android that lets you use the retro Game Boy Camera with a phone when paired with the $50 GB Operator, letting you capture 128×112, 2‑bit grayscale images and apply one of 32 color palettes. The app can read data from the camera sensor to preserve the original look, and it also offers a software mode that simulates the camera if you don’t own the hardware. Photos save to the phone’s Camera Roll, and the GB Operator + Flashback combo provides a cheaper alternative to the Analogue Pocket for Game Boy Camera enthusiasts.
