[ad_1] The service doesn’t yet have pricing, but it will be ad-free. It should launch on Android and iOS as well as “other streaming devices” (read: set-top boxes and smart TVs).

Steam will stop supporting Ubuntu Linux over 32-bit compatibility
[ad_1] As you might imagine, this could create compatibility problems going forward. Even if things don’t break right away, there’s no guarantee that Steam or specific games will run properly. The cutoff may cause problems for other game platforms, too. Phoronix noted that Canonical’s Alan Pope had problems playing GOG titles under Ubuntu 19.10 without […]
A new tool detects deepfakes with 96 percent accuracy
[ad_1] Standard deepfake detection models analyze videos frame-by-frame to spot any sign of manipulation. The new technique created by USC researchers requires far less computing power and time. It reviews an entire video all at once, which allows it to process information much quicker. It stacks frames of the video on top of one another […]
‘Stranger Things’ Final Trailer sets the stage for season three
[ad_1] Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Max and the rest of our friends are of course back and taller than ever, but it appears that last season’s quest to cut off an attacker from the Upside Down by closing an interdimensional gate wasn’t as successful as everyone hoped. With some Jurassic Park-style flair (apparently the […]
Netflix experiment rumbles your phone during shows
[ad_1] Other projects are more clever than pragmatic, but they could still have their uses. The Voice of Netflix uses a neural network to grab dialogue from streaming shows and turn them into new sentences on demand.

[ad_1] It’s already possible to find existing complaints with the search bar, but this update should streamline the process. You can see a preview of what the updated Feedback Hub looks like below.

Adam Sandler’s ‘Murder Mystery’ breaks Netflix viewing records
[ad_1] While Netflix was famously reticent about releasing viewing statistics, over the last year or so the company has become more open about it. Its latest revelation confirms the theory that someone out there like Adam Sandler movies, since his latest star-studded joint for Netflix, Murder Mystery, has racked up the biggest opening weekend ever […]
Apple loses bidding war for J. J. Abrams’ production studio
[ad_1] Apparently, WarnerMedia’s victory came down to the breadth of what it could offer. Bad Robot wanted to work with a “larger” company that had both film and TV distribution under its belt. Streaming providers don’t really have that kind of reach, and Apple TV+ hasn’t even launched yet. This isn’t to say online services […]
Apple TV beta tests iOS-like picture-in-picture
[ad_1] From the looks of it, Apple’s picture-in-picture feature won’t allow you to stream video on top of another video. Instead, it shrinks whatever content you are currently watching to a small box housed in the corner of the screen, allowing you to navigate the rest of the operating system without needing to pause or […]
