Proprietary Software Leftovers Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Proprietary Software Leftovers Proprietary Software Leftovers By Roy Schestowitz Created 05/08/2020 - 10:09am Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 5th of August 2020 10:09:24 AM Filed under Software [1] Vivaldi 3.2 Brings a Mute Button on Picture-in-Picture Mode, More Improvements[2] Vivaldi Technologies announced today the general availability of the Vivaldi 3.2 web browser for all supported platforms, an update that brings various improvements and new features. Vivaldi 3.2 comes about two months after Vivaldi 3.1 and introduces a mute button to the Picture-in-Picture implementation called Pop-out Video. This lets users better control the floating windows when watch clips by muting or unmuting the sound of the video. Vivaldi devs say that the new mute button on the Pop-out video window is a welcome addition when you work from home and you have to quickly jump into an online meeting or take a phone call as you can now immediately mute the clip without having to close the window. You can see the new mute button in action below. Of course, you can also mute the entire tab by right clicking on the tab where the video plays and selecting the ?Mute Tab? context menu item or by using the quick commands, but it?s faster with the new mute button on the Pop-out video. Windows 10 Devices Are at Risk From the BootHole Vulnerability [3] Unfortunately, because this flaw is related to Windows? boot sequence, it?s not something that you can fix yourself. Microsoft has to release a patch that fixes the BootHole flaw. However, this isn?t an easy task. The boot sequence is an essential part of keeping the operating system stable. As such, if Microsoft rushes out a buggy patch for the flaw, it will cause system instability. As a result of this, it may take Microsoft a while to release a patch that fixes BootHole. And we?re all reliant on Microsoft doing so. Greg Joswiak replaces Phil Schiller as head of Apple marketing [4] Marketing is a huge role inside of Apple that goes beyond simply advertising products, so this marks a significant change within the company. As Apple puts it, the marketing division is ?responsible for Apple?s product management and product marketing, developer relations, market research, business management, as well as education, enterprise, and international marketing.? Joswiak has been in Apple leadership roles for more than two decades, and he?s led Apple?s worldwide product marketing for the last four years. Schiller has been with Apple since 1997, helping to steer the company from one of its lowest points to the technology juggernaut that it is today. While he?s been in charge of marketing, Schiller is also known for his involvement in Apple?s hardware, often presenting new products ? like the previous Mac Pro ? onstage at events. Chromebook perks now include Google's Stadia service [5] In fact, buying a Chromebook comes with two Stadia perks. The first offers $20 off the purchase of the Stadia Premiere Edition, which essentially replaces the Stadia Founder?s Edition cloud gaming hardware that launched and almost immediately sold out. But as the second perk points out, you don?t even need the Premiere Edition hardware: Chromebooks now ship with three months of Stadia Pro, the Stadia cloud gaming service. (Engadget previously reported the new Stadia perks.) Be aware that this is a trial. After the three-month service period expires, you?ll be signed up for Stadia Pro at $9.99 per month. Also, you?ll need to own a Chromebook released in June, 2017, or later. Florida teen accused of Twitter [attack] pleads not guilty [6] Tuesday's hearing in Tampa reportedly took place via Zoom. Clark is scheduled for a bond hearing Wednesday, with bail set at $725,000. Twitter About To Be Hit With A ~$250 Million Fine For Using Your Two Factor Authentication Phone Numbers/Emails For Marketing [7] There are many things that big internet companies do that the media have made out to be scandals that aren't -- but one misuse of data that I think received too little attention was how both Facebook and later Twitter were caught using the phone numbers people gave it for two factor authentication, and later used them for notification/marketing purposes.

  • “Pro” Trial Gives Google Stadia App Short-Lived Boost in Q2
    Publication date: 10 Aug 2020 Author: Louise Shorthouse, Ph.D. Research Analyst I, Games and Apps Free “Pro” trial gives Google Stadia app short-lived boost in Q2 Brought to you by Informa Tech Free “Pro” trial gives Google Stadia app short- 1 lived boost in Q2 Table of Figures: louiseshorthouseinformacom_2020_8_10_9_59_30_googlestadiajpg1...........................................2 © 2020 Omdia. All rights reserved. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited. Free “Pro” trial gives Google Stadia app short- 2 lived boost in Q2 On April 8, nearly five months after the launch of Stadia, Google offered a two-month free trial for Stadia Pro. The trial extended to all 14 supported countries, and offered free access to nine games including Destiny 2, PUBG, Steamworld Heist and Zombie Army 4. Once the free trial ended, players had to pay $9.99 per month to continue to access Stadia. In March, the Stadia app was downloaded an average of 1,739 times per day across App Store and Google Play. After the free trial was introduced, according to Priori Data, daily downloads spiked at almost 32,000 – an increase of 1700%. However, the rate of installs quickly normalized, and now sits around pre-trial levels at less than 5,000 per day. louiseshorthouseinformacom_2020_8_10_9_59_30_googlestadiajpg1 This illustrates the importance of lowering the entry barrier for new services, and it perhaps also indicates that it is never too late to galvanize an audience. Retention, however, is extraordinarily low for the Stadia app – with just shy of 16% day 1 retention, dropping to 0.7% at day 30 on Android devices, which suggests that the content is not compelling enough to afford stickiness.
