Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Key Takeaways: Netflix is testing a password-sharing fee in some Latin American countries Other streaming services could follow suit if the plan is successful in adding revenue Investors should keep tabs on how the plan pans out, as it can affect Netflix and competitor stocks In 2017, Netflix tweeted , “Love is sharing a password.” But times are changing—and so is password sharing. That’s because Netflix wants to start charging users who share their passwords with people outside of their households, which actually violates its terms of use. Gone are the days of stealing your ex’s Netflix password to catch up on TV shows and movies. Or borrowing your parents’ account because there are just some parts of adulting for which you’re just not ready, despite having fled the nest quite some time ago. That is, if this social experiment proves successful to Netflix’s bottom line. If the plan to monetize … [Read more...] about Netflix Wants To Monetize Password Sharing, And It Could Change Subscription Models

Attorneys for Hunter Biden admitted in a letter submitted Wednesday to the Department of Justice that data obtained from his laptop is authentic. Biden’s attorneys admitted in the letter that data retrieved from the laptop by John Paul Mac Isaac, a computer store owner from Wilmington, Delaware, is authentic. They asserted that Mac Isaac unlawfully possessed the laptop, even though Mac Isaac has produced paperwork showing that Biden dropped the computer off at his repair shop and signed over custody. “Mr. Mac Isaac has admitted to gaining access to our client’s personal computer data without Mr. Biden’s consent.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin FC Barcelona has banned Real Madrid fans from entering Camp Nou to watch El Clasico. Spain's two biggest clubs are currently vying for the La Liga title, with the Catalans five points clear after Madrid beat Valencia 2-0 on Thursday. Providing both teams keep winning until then, Los Blancos can reduce that deficit to just two points by topping their bitter rivals away from home on March 19. As communicated by Barca's official website, however, it doesn't look as if any of their fans will be permitted inside Europe's biggest stadium to cheer Carlo Ancelotti's men on.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Netflix password sharing crackdown is about to begin , but the streaming giant has so far not confirmed how it will enforce it. Netflix recently revealed that password sharing would be stopped by the end of March this year, which has angered many users. As I wrote previously , Netflix knows a lot about you, because it collects a lot of data, including device IDs, watching habits and IP addresses, which can help break down your location if you aren’t using a VPN. Netflix could use this data in its password sharing crackdown, according to a document posted accidentally online by the streaming platform. First spotted by streaming testing and news site The Streamable , the document has now been removed. However, earlier this week, details published in the Netflix help center outlined measures that would help crackdown on password sharing via the devices people use to watch shows and films. This would be done … [Read more...] about Netflix Leak Reveals How Password Sharing Crackdown Could Be Enforced

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Climate advocates are asking themselves whether the globe can hit its net-zero targets when the developing nations rely on coal to fuel their energy needs. While China and India power their economies mainly using coal, the Asian giants are committed to using far cleaner electricity and ultimately becoming carbon neutral. These are not platitudes meant to quell the developed nations. Achieving net zero is a must — to improve living conditions while reducing climate emergencies and attracting multinational corporations. Asia will remain the world’s biggest consumer of coal, but Bloomberg New Energy Finance predicts it will peak there in 2027. After that, renewables will eat into its market share. “The central government sets the overall direction, and the state governments implement it,” says Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, co-chair Confederation of Indian Industry National Committee. “In this system, we often go two steps forward … [Read more...] about India Commits To Aggressive Climate Action With International Financing

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin After the death of Queen Elizabeth II of England, who was featured on more banknotes than any other female by a long stretch, she might gradually disappear from them. Australia announced yesterday that the late queen will not grace new currency issues. While British territories or Commonwealth countries could decide to begin featuring the new British monarch, King Charles III, others—including Australia—will use the opportunity to move away from royal motives that could appear dated. Women on banknotes still remain rare around the world and a phase-out of Elizabeth could be expected to decrease numbers even more. But an analysis of global banknotes shows that countries which begin to feature women are likely to continue doing so. Between 2016 and 2023 , the number of independent countries that had women on their banknotes rose only by a handful to 46 as of February 2023. At the same time, eight countries that had already … [Read more...] about Women On Banknotes Remain Rare [Infographic]

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Bitcoin prices traded north of $23,000 today after markets responded to the latest monthly jobs report, which greatly exceeded expectations and likely gave Federal Reserve policymakers additional leeway to implement further rate hikes. The world’s most visible digital currency approached $23,700 on CoinDesk in the hours after the report showed the U.S. economy added 517,000 positions last month. At that point, the cryptocurrency was up roughly 1.5% from its price of $23,349 when the Labor Department report was released at 8:30 a.m., CoinDesk figures show. [Ed note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.] This 1.5% increase represented a rather modest change in the face of data that could give the Federal Open Market Committee greater incentive to pursue an aggressive approach … [Read more...] about Bitcoin Prices Hold Steady After Strong Jobs Report Beats Expectations

House Republicans, in the majority for the first time since Joe Biden was inaugurated, have wasted no time in launching much-needed oversight of the Biden administration’s failure to properly control the surge of illegal immigration at our nation’s borders. Through multiple hearings in multiple committees over the coming weeks and months, these newly empowered congressmen will shine a spotlight on the human costs of the failure to control the border and on the policy changes that led to the surge. These hearings cannot happen fast enough. (RELATED: JENNY BETH MARTIN: House GOP Must Confront The Federal Gov’t’s Spending Addiction — Before It’s Too Late) The Judiciary Committee, under Chairman Jim Jordan, got the ball rolling this week, with a hearing that focused on explaining the backdrop — what is the real situation at the border?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A mere look at the La Liga table should tell FC Barcelona fans and critics that life has improved under head coach Xavi Hernandez. But how does he compare against his predecessor and fellow legendary ex-midfielder Ronald Koeman after the same amount of games despite the Blaugrana's comfortable standing five points clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table? Xavi succeded the 'Dream Team' icon in November 2021 after a 1-0 away defeat to Rayo Vallecano proved a step too far for president Joan Laporta and his board, who swiftly fired Koeman. The former number '6' whose old shirt is now worn by Gavi has led the Barca team for 67 matches. Though this wasn't always the case as Xavi struggled to transmit his ideas to his players and stuttered through the remainder of the 2021-2022 season, he now boasts more victories than the Dutchman with 42 to 39 and a better overall winning percentage as pointed out … [Read more...] about How FC Barcelona Manager Xavi Hernandez Measures Up Against Ronald Koeman After 67 Games
