Here’s how you know urine Eureka Park.

At CES, Eureka Park is where you’ll find a ton of smaller startups and tech companies working on next-gen ideas. It’s also where you’ll generally find a handful of companies trying to innovate the way we pee. Toilet humor aside, there’s a lot of valuable information stored in urine — which is why it’s an area of interest for the health tech community. Here’s a look at three urine-related tech startups that caught my eye.

MEDiLight is a wearable designed to help people who have a hard time gauging when it’s time to pee. It uses near-infrared light to monitor your bladder levels and will alert you when you need to empty the tank.

Twitch is reportedly planning to lay off 35 percent of its staff.

The Amazon-owned game streaming platform could lay off around 500 workers as soon as Wednesday, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Twitch laid off dozens of workers as part of Amazon’s company-wide cuts last year, and it recently shut down its service in South Korea due to “prohibitively expensive” costs.

Would you carry a foldable OLED monitor?

I would totally use the new Asus ZenScreen Fold that’s on display here at CES 2024 — if the price were right. I’d hook up my Steam Deck and work laptop. Asus did not tell me if the price was right. Any bets?

One of the world’s top Kim Kardashian: Hollywood players is upset at the game’s cancellation.

I feel for Peppur Triplett, who told Business Insider she turned to the game as a COVID escape. She spent 10 years overall amassing her fortune and becoming the #11 player of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. And it shuts down in April.

The accessorizing fame game may not be my first choice, but I hate to see someone lose their favorite game. Free-to-play breaks everyone’s heart, eventually.

Our Flag Means...dead.

Our Flag Means Death had a tremendous run, but after two seasons, Max is bringing the pirate-centric romantic comedy to an end with no plans for a third season. RIP.

What if your Samsung flip phone could flip further?

Imagine no more: one of Samsung Display’s two new folding flip phone concepts at CES 2024 does that: the Samsung Display Flex In&Out.

The other is the Flex Liple, which I hear stands for “light” and “simple.” Since they both ditch the cover screen, perhaps it’s a way to manufacture less expensive flip phones, too.
