  1. GitHub restores youtube-dl repository after DMCA takedown

    You missed the main improvement going forward, which is that GitHub has agreed to review every 1201 (anti-circumvention) takedown request by both technical and legal staff at their own expense to make sure it's not frivolous, and will err on the side of the developer in cases where it's ambiguous. In all honesty that's a pretty solid response.

    Screw music labels anyway. What, they are going to take OBS down because I can record my desktop, which can include running Spotify?

  8. Microsoft unveils new Fluent icons for its Edge browser

    I wish they'd just hire a team to just redo ALL graphics in the OS all at one time and be done with it... been asking for that since windows 3.1 , even windows 95 didnt refresh all the icons for just a major UI jump

  10. Microsoft announces improvements to history in Edge

    I think it's been underappreciated that one of the benefits of just using a common browser engine is it means more time gets spent competing on the front end features we actually use. The best browser experiences seem to come from the ones that are using someone else's rendering. Meanwhile we spent 15-20 years arguing that everyone needed to make their own rendering engine and the only "feature" people thought they could dream about was "use less RAM".

  13. Hulu's Live TV streaming service price getting hiked to $65 per month

    I cancelled my YouTube TV subscription as I could not justify the cost for what I was getting. I get all the locals in HD for free that I can watch anywhere and record using an HDHomeRun TV tuner. Wasn't enough interesting content on the paid channels to justify. They kept raising the price, adding more useless channels/bundles, raising the price, etc., etc.

  14. Hulu's Live TV streaming service price getting hiked to $65 per month

    This shouldn't surprise anyone. I saw this coming years ago when I worked at the cable company. Streaming was being introduced as the "Cable cutter" with low monthly rates of 50% less than cable. It was all a scam to get people away from the cable company and lure you into their streaming service. Well, here you go. Now they are getting as expensive as cable, so what's the point in leaving cable then? And Hulu, being stupid by raising their prices to be in par with YouTube. If they want to compete, they need to keep it down, not up. Welcome to the future boys and girls.

  15. GitHub restores youtube-dl repository after DMCA takedown

    Github is like a wife-beaten, it has done several times the same act over and over that it is hard to trust it. It says "I swear I will never do it again and take this bouquet of flowers" then, days later, (punch) and a black eye.

  16. Still noticing no examples of Biden Tweets that should be flagged. How about the top 5 from this week? month? year? This is not a both sides argument, this is about people being knowingly deceptive and repeatedly giving false and misleading information as 'fact'. I'm shocked Twitter or any of the social media platforms even took time to flag false information. It is kind of their currency, as it allows goofs and fools to believe the stupidest BS possible. Example: The earth is flat crap has never been more popular in the history of humankind. Even 2000 years ago, most people thought the earth was round. (They just had to look at the moon and sun to figure it out.) Yet in 2020, here we are with social media fueling low information goofs with something their lizard brain find 'plausible'. Trump would not have been elected or taken seriously in elections over the past 100 years. News outlets wouldn't let a candidate make up information or change their plan/idea from sentence to sentence with no basis in information or facts. They would have been called out for being a ######ing idiot.

  25. Microsoft Pluton is a new security chip for Windows PCs

    I read Microsoft's original announcement too. Two things in it caught my eye. First, they said Pluton replaces TPM. Second, they said Pluton updates its firmware from Windows Update. These two make me think Microsoft isn't making Pluton for general-purpose computers. Rather, I think they are working on a new mobile device, which comes with Windows.

    One person commended "Woot 2 TV's and 1 soundbar delivered. Thanks OP and" ... so they were also selling $1,000 sound bars for $150 too.

  32. Actually, the future is younger generations simply choosing not to pay for content that is already riddled with commercials, like Hulu-Live. That's what "cutting the cord" was all about in the first place. And the industry is still seeing record cord cutting, even during the pandemic, as consumers really, really like commercial free TV. https://fortune.com/2020/09/21...g-record-covid-19-pandemic/ That's why broadcast sports had plateaued as a business model ten years ago and is already dropping alarmingly (especially when adjusted for population growth and increasing worldwide access) before the pandemic. https://www.forbes.com/sites/b...jor-sports/?sh=24c7a4c7584f "This evidence corresponds with related information about younger adults cutting their cable cable cords, opting for streaming services, and adopting new viewing habits like binge-watching series rather than following sports."

  35. GitHub restores youtube-dl repository after DMCA takedown

    Interesting how many more people now know about Youtube-dl because of all of this RIAA crap. Way to go morons. I'm glad it's been reinstated, I've been using it for a long time and it's an invaluable tool.

  38. From our older article on this topic (https://www.neowin.net/news/twitter-will-add-labels-to-misleading-us-election-result-claims) : "Exempt from labels will be Twitter accounts from official sources, such as state election officials or news outlets with independent election decision desks. These include ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and NBC News. These sources will also be considered when labeling potentially misleading tweets, so if a claim is challenged by these sources, a label will be applied to indicate that."

  46. I think most people out there, with all these multiple streaming services out now, just sign up for a month, binge a show or two that they want to see, then let it expire. Rinse and repeat on multiple services. I don't watch enough live TV to pay those prices, and having cable makes more sense if you get it as a bundle with your internet service as well, then you can justify the costs more.
