there W no at least they didn't go with ultra not a letter now however the Chromebook X Program will allow Chrome OS devices from third-party manufacturers that meet elevated Hardware requirements to receive additional features and special branding marking them as a Chromebook X although I'm not sure how many laptop companies will be eager to Brand their products as a perfectly acceptable laptop for children and seniors but better the X stands for extra adequate extra just okay also somewhat confusing is Google's apparent plans to equip these Chromebook X's with AMD Zen 2 plus or Zen 3 chips as well as Intel 12th gen Bria and Nissa n-series CPUs which are on the mid to low end of the power Spectrum not exactly chips you'd expect in a laptop with such a cool letter in its name but Google is more about software so the Chromebook X's special features include apparently live caption for calls a portrait blur option and voice isolation Tech mind these are less special features than they are regular features that a standard Chromebook can't run without [ __ ] straight through the bed so that's pretty powerful though like I can't even that strong twitch is replacing its mature content toggle that allows users to enable and disable adult material with a more informative system of content classification labels now instead of Simply marking the stream as mature streamers can specify the exact kind of depravity they intend to broadcast be it mature rated video games intoxication violence sexual themed profanity gambling conversation going outside question if you manage to hit every single content warning in one stream do you get a prize like in Bingo streamers that fail to correctly label their streams will not be banned but will receive an email warning after multiple warnings their Channel may be locked for a period of days or weeks if you get a bingo in front of an audience of under supervised 12 year olds the punishment is an extended opportunity to touch the grass ah there it is the change is an interesting quality of life measure coming at a time when twitch is losing several of its top streamers the most viewed streamer xqc signed a 100 million dollar non-exclusive deal with quick with quick with Kik last week and now hot tub Queen amaranth who kick paid an undisclosed amount to apparently begin streaming herself and her friends showering twitch actually lost another prominent streamer this week not to kick but to burnout former pro fortnite player Turner T few Tenney has retired at the age of 25 after eight years as a twitch partner citing the stress of daily hours-long live streams many creators have criticized which is high requirements to maintain status contributing to a culture of burnout and overwork xqc the poster boy for just insane streaming schedules celebrated his two-year deal with kick by flirting with a band immediately violating the dmca policy by streaming The Dark Knight he's the hero kick deserves but not the one it needs right now it's just making things more complicated but where the other streamers going well and while most of the subreddits protesting reddit's new ABI prizing have reopened many are still registering their disapproval by labeling themselves as not safe for work which adds an age gate on desktop requires app login to view on mobile and prevents ads from being run on the subreddit this follows an earlier wave of subreddits that transitioned into non-stop thirst traps featuring comedian John Oliver thankfully fully pornographic John Oliver content has yet to emerge but it's only a matter of time fortunately give me that all of us okay please please I'll live [ __ ] the only thing more obstinate and self-important than a moderator is an admin on Tuesday shortly after the users of R mildly interesting voted to set it to NSFW the entire mod team was removed and locked out of their accounts apparently by a Reddit employed admin then following report of The Purge from The Verge they were just as suddenly reinstated Reddit refused to comment on whether it was behind either the removal or the reinstatement which I for one think is more than mildly interesting post that in our slash several other subreddits including r slash interesting is r slash thanks I hate it and r slash life Pro tips all of which have over a million subscribers are currently unmoderated having been hit by similar purges making their advice even worse feel like Pro tip get banned while Reddit hasn't confirmed that they are behind the removals they did threaten to remove mods that failed to comply last week it's a bit like when your business partner takes a long unexpected vacation to the Bahamas shortly after you told the entire Christmas party you wanted him dead yet another protest strategy was employed by at least two subreddits r slash March against Nazis and R political humor which made all members moderators in response to reddit's CEO Steve Huffman calling moderators landed gentry who ignore the desires of rank and file users I don't like aristocracy Mr Huffman how about Anarchy I mean you're trying it right now let's you spend first among equals now it's time for quick bits brought to you I'm back from on vacation not on or any other planet it's time to build my quick bits Galactic Empire with our sponsor Paradox in Stellaris I'll explore and Conquer an unknown universe perhaps I'll allow some democracy or rule with an iron fist or maybe I'll engineer a race of beings controlled by a psychic hive mind that could be fun I'm definitely going to form alliances and influence other alien factions through diplomacy strength or Espionage but if that doesn't work there's always the old blow up their home World trip that's just me with unparalleled possibilities no two games of Stellaris are ever the same your story will be Uniquely Yours starting on June 22nd you can play on Steam for free oh go conquer the Galaxy don't threaten the audience Dennis a little bit of tech news in your life a little bit of this guy by your side that's right quick bits were inspired by Lou Bega which is why there's Mambo Number Five of them please laugh the FTC sued Amazon on Wednesday for making it trivial to subscribe to their Prime service but a labyrinthine process to cancel presumably by forcing you to fight a Minotaur if you don't want to pay 140 every year additional eight bucks a month if you want magic yarn the commission's lawsuit alleges Amazon knowingly tricked millions of Americans into signing up for their Prime subscription using dark patterns a term that describes manipulative coercive or deceptive user interface designs and not the sequence of increasingly problematic behavior of flashstar Ezra Miller and they still release that movie which is the real crime if Twitter Clips are any indication EA has decided to split EA Games and EA Sports in the game into two distinct units so now you have two corporate entities to hate instead of one also EA Games is being rebranded as EA entertainment suggesting they intend to expand Beyond games interpretive dance another Flash movie meanwhile EA Sports is expanding into the courtroom because they've been sued over their upcoming college football game is that the title college football game CA college and the college book EA Sports CFG the plaintiff is the brander group Noe which has deals to negotiate licensing contracts for several NCAA schools and therefore has an issue with EA Sports offering individual athletes a flat 500 fee and no royalties for their name image and likeness in perpetuity yep that's ridiculous wow yay you're not allowed to take advantage of college athletes that's the brander group's job DP Review and invaluable digital photography resource was supposed to close in April as part of Amazon's careless cuts and mass layoffs earlier this year but oddly the site continued publishing even after the deadline where the site was set to go read only it kept going and going well past its supposed due date just like the yogurt in the break room fridge sorry apparently this is because Amazon was instead approached by gear Patrol an independent tech review site which has officially acquired DP Review as of yesterday DP reviews editor-in-chief released a statement saying that the site will continue to operate as it was before with all editorial coverage and site features remaining the same and all historical content accessible former site editor Gannon Gannon Gannon former site editor Gannon burget is quoted as saying you figure this sort of stuff out before shutting down an entire division of your company not in hindsight after weeks of backlash and also quote Amazon and also quote link stop stopping my plans be kidnapped the princess I'm shedding real tears for this Kingdom Marvel Studios is facing controversy for using AI to create the opening credit scene for their secret Invasion miniseries upsetting artists people with taste and possibly epileptics they really need to smooth those Out director and executive producer Ali Salim told polygon he doesn't really understand how AI works and apparently also didn't understand that the writer's Guild of America is currently on strike to protect writers against AI so maybe throwing AI into one of the most hotly anticipated projects in a massively popular Cinematic Universe was a bad idea who can say fortunately the premiere episode has a lengthy cold open so geeky artists got to enjoy a solid eight minutes of the show before feeling angry and betrayed that's like a minute more than I got to spend in heaven with Stacy Carlisle when I was in sixth grade Jacob wrote that I wish that was true it's all Riley he's lying I actually it was me deep feelings and Eve online has added a new feature in the form of a free add-on of Microsoft Excel sounds weird but it's right up there Ally after years of being called a glorified spreadsheet simulator both by fans and detractors Eve online will be officially integrating Excel into its alleged space adventure game alleged now players will be able to create custom reports graphs and charts yes to better calculate their Fleet DPS and manage their in-universe corporate expense accounts without having to tap out of the game like they usually would so immersion breaking Eve online fans were ecstatic when the partnership was announced and I think the rest of us can just be happy for them and we'll be happy too when you come back on Friday for another episode of techlinked I mean not like ecstatic you're not exactly like a integrated spreadsheet but you know no offense but definitely pleased"}
