You're tuned in to Tech Beat, and here's what's moving in the world of technology today.
Crypto regulation hit another wall this week, as hopes for a meaningful SEC meeting on digital asset oversight appear to have stalled. With the Clarity Act's path through Congress uncertain, the industry was counting on regulators to step in independently — but that window now looks closed, leaving the sector in familiar legal limbo.
Shifting gears entirely, here's a question that's been nagging at retro gamers for decades — why did a Super Nintendo or original PlayStation actually look better on an old CRT television than on today's ultra-sharp displays?

And in the television space, a genuine format war is brewing. Sony and Samsung are both pushing RGB TV technology, a new approach promising the deep blacks of OLED alongside the blazing brightness of mini-LED. Early head-to-head testing suggests the technology is compelling but still maturing — and whether it can truly unseat OLED remains an open question.
