Pretty sure they call it quick boot or something, the earlier behaviour was that you wouldn't be able to lock the screen and it'll be in full brightness until you enter the pin, this was not cool with anyone so they made it this way.

There was a recent documentary I saw shared by a couple blogs about the moderators from Facebook,YouTube, etc and how they have to deal with depression now because of the job.

Full documentary is free to watch by the creators themselves https://vimeo.com/213152344

It's mostly Youtube, Reddit, HN, ARSTechnica for tech/news.

For random comics and stuff it's Loading Artist.

Been listening to Jordan Peterson's lectures on youtube, watching video essays on films, the science/information related channels has already been mentioned here. I'd recommend "Blank On Blank" [1] it's wonderful.

A friend posted screenshots from the movie Spotlight, before the credits the list of churches and it got deleted for hurting religious sentiments. He tried to fight it but didn't win. The caption was just "something needs to be done about this"

They beta tested the sim cards only on their own Lyf branded phones which are some of the cheapest 4G phones available. They plan on releasing more phones, an FTTH broadband service, they already have movies and music streaming services, they have small portable wifi hotspot devices, there's news that they'll enter the D2H TV service market too. I think they'll make their money back with a combination of the hardware and services.

The competition has been the biggest boon for the public even more so than the services they're offering, forced every major network to lower their prices which I hope will have a good long term effect for the public.

Even the more niche creators are getting pretty good attention, I've been watching Binging With Babish [1] and he recreates dishes seen on movies and tv shows. They taste bad mostly so he fixes them. Has been getting good amount of views consistently.

Yeah Float Plane Club is already working and they're trying to make a proper website and have some friends partner with them.

Youtube made a tip jar where people (from a select list of countries) could tip a creator whatever they liked but they scrapped it before ever making the feature international.

Exactly, but I use Noosfeer. It's the same thing but for movie screenshots and there's extra info like IMDb, trailer, etc at the bottom.

Don't think Colbert's statement was homophobic though, don't want to fight genuinely want to know what made you think it was?

Fry should make a statement similar to what Colbert made recently for his remarks against Trump "I've got the jokes, he's got the launch codes so it's a fair fight"

That says True Love Waits is the most depressing song though.. am I missing something?

>We have a winner! “True Love Waits” is officially the single most depressing Radiohead song to date. Rightly so, given that it tied for lowest valence (0.0378) and ranked fourth for highest percentage of sad words (24%). If the numbers still don’t convince you, just listen to it.

The increasingly anti-privacy moves via the Aadhaar card which now links your driving license, bank account(s), mobile number and everything you can think of, banks charging you for withdrawing cash more than 4-5 times a month to incentivize digital payment, this is making me really scared right now

Just recently discovered Nautilus and it is really high quality stuff, I think I'll get a premium membership too after reading the Cormac McCarthy issue.

I can hear Clint Mansell music already, "I'm Sam Bell Too"

Yeah they're doing great work but I've actually met people who told us they didn't want to use the toilets because they couldn't "build up the pressure" in the cramped space since they are used to the open fields since decades.

This is going to take a long time but they're actually doing a pretty good job at installing toilets that's for sure.

Didn't they remove iFixit because they didn't like that they made a guide for Apple Watch? There are tons of apps removed for much less.

I think it's just a precautionary step after the whole Facebook debacle, FB issues an email address to every user and they were tricking people into sending emails to petition for their service with a click and then sending a notification to all their friends when a person does that making it look like a good thing.

What made it even more iffy was that it would've been free on select few services and they planned to include a couple other companies later, it took a lot of convincing and explaining by a lot of concerned people. It was a scary time and no one wants to go through all of that again for whatever reason.

Snapchat clearly went out of their way to ignore Android users, Instagram works so much better.

Is youtube accessible? The video is on Wired's Youtube channel too

I don't understand what's wrong with multitasking in this context. It is really easy to listen to an audiobook while doing some light cleaning or during commute. I love reading and I'm trying to increase my paperback collection but I think everyone should at least give it a shot, my recommendation would be Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter - it's an awesome experience.

I was about to search what it meant too, thanks I gotta read this now.

I watch the people you mentioned plus I love movies so I also watch KaptainKristian, Every Frame A Painting, Lessons From A Screenplay, Channel Criswell.

Just in case you haven't heard of them In A Nutshell and Life Noggin are also awesome for well produced super high quality science stuff

Nice example since his recent stand up routine is getting a lot of flack for supposed anti-LGBT statements (I haven't seen it yet so I can't say if they have any value). With regards to the Pewdiepie case I am on his side here the quality of jokes doesn't matter it was pretty clear that they weren't meant to be taken seriously and that should be it.

Eh I was with you until the Nerdwriter1 channel thing, yes the production value is great and they are well made but if you watch other better ones like Every Frame A Painting, Lessons From A Screenplay, Channel Criswell, KaptainKristian, etc you'll notice how his commentary is less than meaningful when it comes to his movie/tv related videos.

The safest way to use facebook is to use a wrapper so it can't track anything, like Metal for Facebook or Swipe then open links of Flynx btw. I highly recommend this approach, floating browsers are pretty good for productivity.

This is wi-fi direct though? Superbeam, Shareit, Xender, etc?

Can confirm, am using horrible internet right now. Googleweblight is a lifesaver for reading article, not sure why it hasn't been mentioned by I recommend everyone facing speed issues to try it.

The video looked like a comedy sketch, it seriously does not look real to me with weird shaky cam shots of people's eyes and "we imagine this future" type dialogue.

I don't think that's possible, I'm not a programmer so I can't be sure but I read somewhere that the way Chrome is built it can't be done.
