| November 21, 2022. The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to figure out what to put in people's stockings. Here's our all-too-helpful gift guide if you need some ideas. Maybe get something for yourself, too. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 212 articles, 6 podcasts, 5 press releases, 311 tweets, and 12 YouTube videos | | | 1. YouTube Has a New 'Netflix-Like' Sound | | You know the "tudum" sound that plays whenever you startup Netflix? Well, YouTube has its own unique sound now, which you may have already noticed if you use YouTube on a TV a lot. Is it necessary? No, but if people like it elsewhere, why not make your own version, y'know? | | 2. Microsoft Teams Adds Sign Language View for Meetings | | Microsoft is taking one more step towards inclusivity, as it's working on a Sign Language View for Teams for people who are deaf/hard of hearing, ASL interpreters, and others who use sign language. The feature is only in the beta stage right now, but expect a full release "in the coming weeks." Nice. | | 3. New Twitter Accounts Can't Immediately Subscribe to Twitter Blue | | Twitter is... going through some stuff right now, but changes are still in the works. One such change is that new accounts will have to wait before signing up for Twitter Blue and benefitting from its exclusive features. How long is the wait? 90 days. A bit long, but you'll wait if you really want Blue, right? Right? | | | If you're like us, you probably thought the US had the most YouTube users, but we're all wrong. Turns out, it's actually India with ~500 million users beating the US, which has around ~245 million. Countries all over the world have millions of users, though, which is probably all that really matters to YouTube. | | | "Wait, slow down!" —Rob LeFebvre, Associate Editorial Director, News | | | Looking cozy, Steam Deck! | | Image: WaterField Designs | | Your Steam Deck can probably take a tiny fall, but you shouldn't try it. Instead, maybe invest in something like the appropriately named Complete Case for Steam Deck from WaterField Designs. If you're gone to them for iPhone or MacBook cases/bags, you know what you're in for here: stylish protection. | | | You're probably heard that a bunch of big tech companies are scaling down their teams. What's up with that? Well, according to Vox's Tech Explained podcast, the "era of big tech growth is over." That's not dramatic at all! | | |
