| It's August 12, 2022. Feel that? It's another wonderful Friday! Forget the national and international days right now and focus on what's important: enjoying the weekend. Maybe our music playlist can help. Apple Music | Spotify | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 409 articles, 17 podcasts, 25 press releases, 547 tweets, and 23 YouTube videos | | | 1. Google Promises Better Accuracy in Your Search Results | | 2. Meta Testing Automatic Encryption to Improve Messenger Security | | Meta is testing automatic end-to-end encryption in Messenger chats. What does this mean for you? Basically, it should make it extremely difficult for outside parties like law enforcement or hackers to take a peek at your private chats. Just use this new secrecy responsibly, okay? No planning bank heists. | | 3. Xiaomi's Second Folding Phone Could Rival the Galaxy Z Fold4 | | Chinese electronics company Xiaomi unveiled its second folding phone, the Mix Fold 2. It looks to be filled with a number of hardware improvements over the original, while retaining the folding form factor that allowed Samsung to succeed in the space. The one downside? It's only available in China. Bummer. | | | Some people really said "Never" | | | Data: Google, Poynter Institute | | | A lot of people are online looking for information, and based on the graph above, a majority think they come across misinformation every week. It's good that people are paying attention to what they read, but we're more concerned about the 7% who said they've never seen false info online. Who are they?! | | | "I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner." —Tim Fisher, Group GM & SVP-Tech | | Meta released an AI chatbot for people to use/train, and people immediately began asking it questions about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. It, uh, had some opinions. (Share on Twitter) | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | If/when you've finally decided it's time to go all out on a high-end PC build, you'll want a GPU like the GeForce RTX 3090. Unparalleled performance, more than enough fans and heatsinks to keep it cool, and you can revel in the fact that you won't have to buy another GPU for while... probably. | | | Did you know Netflix is dipping its toes into gaming? It's been at it for a while, but unfortunately for the company, subscribers aren't biting. Maybe people realized there are other and better options? | | | |
