GitHub restores youtube-dl repository after DMCA takedown
Miskkie and 7 others reacted to PWazzle for a topic
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.8 points -

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".3 points -

Hulu's Live TV streaming service price getting hiked to $65 per month
Slackerr and 2 others reacted to PsyOpWarlord for a topic
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.3 points -
Hulu's Live TV streaming service price getting hiked to $65 per month
Lil Alien and 2 others reacted to spacelordmaster for a topic
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.3 points -

Here's how Twitter tried to stop the spread of misleading information during U.S. elections
+Dick Montage and 2 others reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
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.3 points -

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.2 points -

Hulu's Live TV streaming service price getting hiked to $65 per month
Slackerr and one other reacted to excalpius for a topic
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."2 points -

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."2 points -

M1 MacBooks will sell a TON. This will push developers to finally start making desktop-grade ARM apps. Hell, Windows on ARM has been on the market for what, 3 years? And pretty much everything still has to run through emulation? Microsoft just does not have the developer trust with a transition like this. I think M1 MacBooks (as much as I hate locked down systems but what can I as a consumer realllly do about it apart from not buying a machine I would have never bought) will definitely push ARM on Desktop1 point -

Brandon H reacted to MateerL for a topic
this was started after Surface Pro X was released & MS released their plans for Windows on ARM. Adobe did mention they'll be bringing some of the CC apps, or at least a lite version, to ARM. But it looks like ARM Macs are the much more impressive hardware than Surface Pro X for media development How do you know that? I haven't seen any benchmarks comparing an ARM Mac to the Pro X yet. Granted one is a laptop and the other a convertible so you may be correct just from the different focus of the devices. MacOS performance maybe more optimized as we see with iOS devices - their CPU is way ahead of Qualcomm, but latter have the better GPU. Additionally fans in MBP & MMini mean no throttling, so that high performance will sustain than just be burst mode. Finally Qualcomm is terrible with driver support - with desktop CPUs/GPUs, regular driver updates from intel/amd/nvidia help a lot in ironing out bugs, and optimising stuff to get noticeable performance improvements in Games/Software. Qualcomm has more of a 'ship it, then forget it' motto - whatever updates we'll get (Quacomm wil probably forget this chip in a year) will be from MS, but it may not get the most out of the hardware. Apple ecosystem being tightly integrated should not have this problem. But again these are all expectations from what we've been seeing for the last decade, things hopefully should be better than worse.1 point -

Intel begins shipping its Xe-based Server GPU
hellowalkman reacted to goretsky for a topic
Hello, When silicon companies introduce a new product or technology, the first release is often for enterprise use. As process manufacturing yields increase, the technologies find their way down the product line to the value end of the spectrum. It seems the product is geared towards companies that host steaming mobile games, so the end users or consumers of that would ultimately be people who play those types of games on their mobile devices. Interestingly enough, Intel hasn't been in the mobile CPU or RAM market for a while (Atom for Android, StrataFLASH, etc.). This might be a good strategy for them, though, since the server market is an established space for them, and this gives them a way to not just defend against incursions from AMD and ARM, but to grow that business.
