Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “YouTube Taketh Away…”.
Uh welcome. Do you have a tech news appointment, no well I’ll see if I can fit you in very busy today, James booked, like three in a row, YouTube has been caught, asking a small but not insignificant number of users to pay for a premium subscription to play videos In 4k, we caught them. Who knows how many may have bought premium if we didn’t, maybe they’ll have less compression now nope. This follows on the heels of other unpopular changes that Google has been testing out, including forcing users to sit through a larger number of unskippable ads.
Your favorite Google confirmed that the unreasonable amount of ads thing was just an experiment to gauge user interest, so hopefully the 4K gatekeeping thing will go away. If not enough, people decide that they’re willing to pay for features that they used to get for free and generally receive a worse product. That’S America, goddammit! Hey! That’S what it’s all about! Can’T wait for the moment.
A few years from now, when our corporate feudal Lords decide a monthly subscription, is required to get the lock your own front door feature pack, it’s the most popular pack. Google has published a timeline for Chrome’s transition to a new extension platform which could end or severely restrain the functions of ad blockers. This is the other end of the pincer movement: take away 4K, put in more ads, remove ad blockers and what’s the Scorpion, tail vertical video all of it, it’s all vertical. Now all Chrome extensions will shift when a new platform called manifest V3 starting in January with the old system.
Manifest V2 makes sense being phased out next summer, except for Enterprises who will get another year. While it’s been widely reported that this change essentially means Chrome is blocking ad blockers, that’s not entirely true. Manifest V3 will cause some ad blockers to not work as expected, forcing them to rely on specific URL block lists of limited length, but developers of the most popular extensions have already been working to adapt their blockers to the new platform for some time. So it looks like ad blockers Will Survive, especially since, and this is a little a little Pro tip for you guys. Are there other products? You don’t have to use Chrome, you don’t have to use Chrome, Brave and Playstation 5S that haven’t had a system firmware update in a while should be vulnerable to a new jailbreak package published by a developer called after they’re like the organization in the Bond movies, except They don’t hack Banks or anything just video game consoles ghost report people have published proof of the jailbreak working on ps5s running firmware version 4.03, which dates back to October of last year. So this will be perfect for people who haven’t touched their PS5 because they were upset, they couldn’t jailbreak it. Since then. Thank you.
It’S not a perfect break. It gives you read, write access to the system allowing you to install games and software from non-official sources, but there’s no execute access. So while the modder was able to install the delisted PT demo, he wasn’t actually able to run it and the jailbreak only works about 30 percent of the time, apparently, but that 30 of the time it works every time.

Now we already covered how Google is shutting down stadia, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be out in the cold when it comes to game ownership.
Ubisoft is working to give stadia customers who own their titles on the soon to be dead platform, PC keys, so they can run their games locally. I didn’t want to play PC, it’s the whole thing, so I hope they were playing stadia Just for giggles and not because they didn’t actually have a PC because yeah. I would, as James points out that you know so. The cloud act, which is a data sharing agreement between the US and the UK, went into effect today. Basically, it allows both countries to request data from each other’s internet providers to fight serious crimes like terrorism and human trafficking, and just saying the wrong thing watch out. Privacy Advocates, though, have cried foul, as it may set a precedent for countries to access even more information outside their home territory, but don’t worry guys now. It’S like you, have two governments watching your back by knowing everything you do pirates are together again. Oh, I feel so safe and loved. They had me on purpose coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency Exchange in the US experienced an outage. Yesterday, users were unable to make withdrawals to a us-based bank account for a roughly six hour period. Details are unclear other than coinbase, confirming it suffered. A major outage, probably caused by people’s unwillingness to recognize the Revolutionary potential of decentralized finance and high copium levels are never good for the markets James. But how about that lightning Network now back to Kelly customers that subscribe to Dish Network also got a nasty surprise this weekend, when all Disney owned properties disappeared for two days due to a contract dispute between Disney and Disney yeah. This.
This is a big deal for college football fans who missed most of the weekend’s games. The channels have since been restored with a handshake agreement, as the two sides try and work out a longer term deal. You want to talk about decentralization put. My shows on a blockchain, you know: okay, like geez, I need those and here’s one from the wow.
