22		rs	ByteDance is getting in on the booming fast-fashion market, launching the site Dmonstudio. The site claims to serve over 100 countries with a focus on women's fashion. The site doesn't name direct ties to ByteDance, but sources tell Technode that the company's ecommerce business lead, Kang Zeyu, is heading the project.	https://www.techinasia.com/tiktok-takes-shein-ecommerce-portal
23		sl	Amazon confirmed it will increase the maximum base pay for corporate and tech employees from $160,000 to $350,000, in an effort to recruit top talent and retain employees. This brings base pay more in line with other large tech companies, and Amazon will keep existing restricted stock units and cash compensation incentives. This reflects a tight market for tech talent, with a CompTIA analysis of Labor Department employment data finding an 11% increase in unfilled IT job openings in the US, up to roughly 340,000.	https://www.geekwire.com/2022/amazon-more-than-doubles-max-base-pay-to-350k-for-corporate-and-tech-workers-citing-labor-market/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds

25		rs	US FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel informed Congress that network service providers applied for $5.6 billion of reimbursements for “ripping and replacing” equipment deemed insecure by the US government, mostly to replace network equipment from ZTE and Huawei. In September 2020, the FCC estimated the effort would cost $1.8 billion, and Congress allotted $1.9 billion as part of the Supply Chain Reimbursement Program.	https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/4/22918611/rip-and-replace-hauwei-zte-fcc-cell-network-securty?scrolla=5eb6d68b7fedc32c19ef33b4
26		sl	Tobii says it's in talks to provide eye tracking technology for Sony's next-gen VR headset. Sony previously confirmed the PlayStation VR2 would use eye tracking, but didn't say much else about a partner or how it would work. The headset will reportedly also use camera-based "inside-out" tracking to detect head and controller movement.	https://www.engadget.com/tobii-playstation-vr2-eye-tracking-talks-155325972.html?src=rss
27		rs	The price comparison provider PriceRunner sued Google for 22 billion kronor (about $2.4 billion USD) in Stockholm’s patent and market court, saying the company manipulated search results in favor of its own shopping services. This follows an EU ruling from November that found Google violated antitrust laws for preferring its own shopping services in search.	https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-07/google-sued-by-pricerunner-for-2-4-billion-in-stockholm-court
28			Let's talk a little more about...	Top Stories:
29	:34	rs	Business Insider's sources say Google demoted its entire Stadia project internally, and is now focused on providing a streaming backend for other companies rather than attaching games to the Stadia service itself. Google calls this backend Google Stream, and it's already reportedly being used to power Peloton's first video game Lanebreak, currently in early access. AT&T confirmed it used Stadia tech for a browser-based version of Batman: Arkham Knight last year, with Capcom and Bungie both reportedly looking to build platforms on Google Stream. The unit now prioritizes Google Stream proof-of-concept work and white-label deals, with sources saying about "20% of the focus" is now being put into its consumer Stadia platform.	https://www.businessinsider.com/google-stadia-stream-plan-partnerships-peloton-bungie-gaming-service-2022-2?r=US&IR=T

33	:38	sl	Meta's earnings report last week made headlines for showing a decrease in Facebook's daily active users for the first time. But the company could face another decrease in users, like not providing services to all of the EU. In Meta's annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Meta emphasized the need for a new data legal framework to govern the transfer of data from EU users to the US, saying "complex and evolving US and foreign laws" could harm it's business. The Court of Justice for the European Union invalidated the Privacy Shield data transfer framework in July 2020. Meta now uses Standard Contractual Clauses (or SCCs) for data transfers, basically boilerplate conditions that have been "pre-approved" by the European Commission. However, in 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that US law did not ensure an “adequate level of protection,” particularly around mass surveillance in the US. Meta receievd a freeze on this order, and Meta's use of SCCs is being reviewed in the Ireland Data Protection Commision. Meta expects this decision in a few months. For Meta, if the decision does not go its way, the lack of a framework means it could be hit with substantial GDPR fines. If a new framework is not adopted and SCC's are successfully challenged in the EU, Meta says, "we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe."	https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/02/02/facebook-earnings-meta/

37	:43	rs	Twitter announced it's testing adding an icon on iOS to send Direct Messages to a tweet's author directly from your timeline. Sending DM's right now requires going to a user's profile page. Twitter says users will still be able to close DMs entirely if they don't want to engage with unwanted DMs at all. So why are some Twitter users upset about this added feature? As the Verge notes, one extra step of to go to someone’s profile to send a DM, which is how it's generally worked thus far, cuts back on harassment. This new feature would make harrassment that much easier, even if it makes perfectly fine discourse easier as well. But as another Twitter user noted, when someone wants to harass you, they’re going to tap that one extra tap to DM you anyway. So what do we think about this? Twitter has a bit of a legacy with some users of not prioritizing harrassment and how to best minimize it.	https://9to5mac.com/2022/02/07/new-twitter-dm-feature-abuse/

43	:48	sl	I'm not sure if it was in the second or third phase of the pandemic, but at some point everyone realized they wanted some home fitness gear since many didn't feel comfortable going to the gym. Peloton definitely rode that wave of interest, reaching a market value of $50 billion in January 2021. But a competitive landscape and a somewhat reopened world have brought the company back down to earth, now sitting at an $8 billion valuation. While the company denies it's halted Bike and Tread production in the face of waning demand, CEO John Foley did say it was "resetting [its] production levels for sustainable growth." So what does a still trendy brand combined with a market in flux mean? Maybe an acquisition! The Wall Street Journal's sources say Amazon is considering acquiring Peloton. They're not the only one, the Financial Times' sources say Nike might also acquire the connected fitness company. Both companies have apparently discussed this internally and have not approached Peloton about an acquistion...yet. Given the early stage of both companies' interest, it wouldn't be surprising to see other companies get into the mix.	https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/20/peloton-ceo-acknowledges-corrective-actions-denies-halting-all-production-of-bikes-and-treadmills

47	:54	rs	Microsoft released its 6th annual Civility, Safety and Interaction Online report as part of international Safer Internet Day. This surveyed teens and adults across 22 countries, asking about experiences and interactions online. Survey results are used to generate a Digital Civility Index score, or DCI. The lower the score, the higher the perceived level of online civility. The 2022 report found the global DCI score at 65%, the best since the survey began in 2016 and a 2% improvement since 2020. Discussion points: - Global DCI improvement led by teen boys and adult males, 5% in trolling and 3% decrease in hate speech. Females experienced almost 60% of all risks, an all-time high. - The Netherlands was the most civil with 52% DCI, US was #8 - in the US, DCI increase 2% on the year to 58%, so worse but more civil than the rest of the world. - US women experienced 57% of risks (consequence, worry and pain) - 67% in the US said online meetings and classes drove improved civility, with less incivility in online meetings than in person - how to improve? 82% said more education, 62% better moderation of harmful content, 62% no anonymous comments	https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2022/02/07/safer-internet-day-online-civility-improves-2022-research/

56			Mailbag (feedback@dailytechnewsshow.com)
57			One option that people like Sarah, mostly Apple users, should strongly consider is to take advantage of one of the new iCloud+ features: custom domain names. The lowest plan is $0.99 for 50GB storage and you’re probably already paying for at least this much storage just for photo storage. You get 5 domains, support for aliases and more. Even if you have some family on Windows you can use iCloud mail in the browser, Outlook, or other mail client. I migrated myself and my two adult children to iCloud from Google Apps late last year.
