24		tm	OnlyFans, most known for their NSFW content, has released an app called OFTV, which contains no nudity and is therfore available on iOS, Android, Roku, and Amazon Fire. Chief executive officer of OnlyFans Tim Stokely told Bloomberg the company is able to be on the app store since there's no adult content and no monetization. The service is free and is also ad free.	https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/17/22628521/onlyfans-app-ios-android-oftv-no-nudity
25		jry	Tinder announced it will bring the ID verification system it offers in Japan-- to all its users worldwide, "in the coming quarters". ID verification will begin as voluntary and Tinder will work with experts in each country to determine which documents are most appropriate for that country.	https://www.engadget.com/tinder-will-make-id-verification-available-to-all-users-005011483.html
26		tm	Ah the magnetic stripe. We salute your departure. Mastercard announced that beginning in 2024 it will no longer require a magnetic stripe on partner credit cards in Europe. The US will have until 2027 and the rest of the world in 2029. All magnetic stripes will be gone from Mastercard debit and credit cards by 2033. Card swill all be chip or contactless tech like NFCs by then.	https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/17/22628455/mastercard-magnetic-stripe-phase-out-2024-2033
27			Let's talk a little more about...	Top Stories:
28	:34	tm	Anybody remember YikYak? It was an anonymous social app that connected you with conversations from other users nearby. It existed from 2013 until 2017 when it was sold to Square and shut down. It had the reputation of being a place for hookups, pot, parties and unfortunately a lot of harassment and other abuse. Well a group bought the rights from Square in February and has now relaunched YikYak. Users can post and comment on posts from other users within a 5-mile radius. You can vote posts up and down and a "hot feed" compiles the top posts from the last 24 hours. Posts that get a negative-five score will be hidden. While the service is anonymous, a list of "community guardrails" prohibit “anything that could be construed as bullying, abuse, defamation, harassment, stalking, or targeted hate or public humiliation,” as well as sharing personal info. Violations can lead to an immediate ban. Why? The site says "We're bringing Yik Yak back because we believe the global community deserves a place to be authentic, a place to be equal, and a place to connect with people nearby. " The idea of the relaunch is to promote conversation without labels. The site says "The most popular celebrity on earth appears exactly the same as an average person." Tom's neighborhood was talking a lot about sex, their favorite types of pot and getting ready for school.... So.....	https://thenextweb.com/news/brief-history-yikyak-anonymous-platform?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheNextWeb+%28The+Next+Web+All+Stories%29

31	:38	jry	Android supports something called "Switch Access" which lets accessories connected by USB or Bluetooth control touch targets. This enables accessibility devices to work with Android. Now Google is rolling out "Camera Switch" This lets you control certain phone functions with facial expressions. You can choose from one or two switches. One switch lets you initiate a scan with an expression and then select a target with the same expression. Two switches lets you use one or more gestures. Supported gestures are opening your mouth, smiling, raising eyebrows and looking left, right or up. By default you associate expressions with next, select and pause and you can add previous, touch&hold, scroll forward and back, home, back, notifications, quick settings and overview. Users are notified when the feature is active and camera is in use and all processing is done on the device. Camera Switch is available for Pixel phones running Android 12 now.	https://9to5google.com/2021/08/16/android-facial-expressions-accessibility/

33	:41	tm	You might get more battery life out of future phones thanks to a new display technology from Samsung. (Reminder to those unaware Samsung displays are used in lots of phones, not just phones made by Samsung Mobile.) Samsung Display Company announced a new OLED panel called Eco²OLED that gets rid of a polarizer layer and claims it uses 25% less power as a result. OLED panels are copper colored. To make your screen black, a polarizer layer only lets light from the display itself go through he glass. Otherwise you'd get a reflected copper color from your screen. That Polarizer layer absorbs some of the light-- Samsung thinks about 33% of it-- meaning you need more power to keep the screen bright. Samsung has created non-reflective OLED panels that appear black and therefore don't need the polarizer layer. Samsung Display says the Eco²OLED has already been implemented in the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3. A different technology developed by Apple, called LPTO, saves battery life in a different way by letting the device dynamically change the refresh rate. This is how the Series 5 Apple Watch can be always on without draining the battery. Anandtech notes that with both these technologies coming to phones, we should see a significant jump in phone power efficiency.	https://www.anandtech.com/show/16887/samsung-display-announces-polarizerless-oled-with-25-less-power

39	:45	tm	Annalee recently wrote a guest essay in the New York Times called "From ‘Loki’ to ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ Fans Are Calling the Shots" You're overall topic was the growth of fan influence on how content is created from the renewal of Star Trek for a third season in the 1960s to studios developing whole shows like Loki in response to meme activity. What are some recent examples of fan influence? -0- What role is technology having on "fan service"? -0- How are fans using their new influence? Are non-fans taking advantage? -0- How does the growing and blurring lines of fan fiction play into this? -0- Is this a mostly western phenomena?	https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/07/opinion/culture/movies-tv-fan-service.html

43			Before we get out of here, there are a couple of robot stories in the news, and Annalee, if you're willing, I'd like to find out which robot appeals to you more. Now they BOTH may appeal to you but like some kind of robot reality show-- we want you to pick just one. Robot Candidate A: Another Boston Dynamics robot demo video. This one shows the Bipedal Atlas robot doing flips and vaults and other gymnastics feats and even recovering from an almost fall. And to Boston Dynamics credit, there's a second video that actually goes into some detail explaining how it was done and the significance of the tech involved and how it benefits Boston Dynamic's engineers. Robot candidate B is the launch of a pizza-making robot from the company Picnic, just announced at the International Pizza Expo and Conference in Las Vegas. Picnic pizza robots are out of the pilot phase and can be ordered under a robotics-as-a-service model for $3,500-$5,000 a month. Preorders are open now shipping after the first of the year.	https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/17/22628663/boston-dynamics-atlas-video-parkour-flips-falls-program

Escúchalo todos los Viernes. -- Dan Campos about.me/dancampos Dan Campos on about.me "Any form of art is propaganda. It is propaganda for a state of mind rather than a nation-state but it is propaganda nonetheless, and it's best if you accept that and understand what you're doing and be honest about it: you are trying to change the mind of your target audience. You are trying to change their perceptions, you are trying to stop them from seeing things how they see things and start them seeing things the way you see things."
