The iPhone 11's Camera Technology: A Quantum Dot Opportunity Lost

Within the iPhone 11's camera system, Apple was reportedly planning to feature quantum dot technology, which would have provided precise control over light and resulted in higher quality digital camera sensors. This technology had been developed by a British tech company called Nana Co, specializing in quantum dot technology. However, when it came time to implement this technology, Apple decided to sever their 21 million dollar deal with the company. The decision was made to save costs, ultimately sacrificing the potential benefits of improved AR features within the iPhone.

The Impact on Nana Co

As a result of losing their major client, Apple, Nana Co saw a significant decline in its stock value. The loss of this large contract meant that half of the company's revenue went away overnight, leaving them with a substantial financial burden. It is clear that Apple prioritized cost-cutting over the potential benefits of quantum dot technology.

YouTube's Changes to Video Recommendations

In recent developments, YouTube has announced plans to implement changes that will give users more control over video recommendations. This new feature will allow users to sort and filter through different topics and explore content that they may be interested in. Furthermore, YouTube is also introducing a new option for users to indicate which channels they do not want to see recommended.

The "Not Interested" Button

When users tap on the toggle next to a video tile, a menu pops up offering various options. However, one of the buttons has been dubbed "not interested," and its effects are quite surprising. When clicked, this button does nothing, as if the system is ignoring the user's request. In practice, this means that even after clicking on the "not interested" button, YouTube will continue to recommend other videos that may be of interest to the user.

A Test of YouTube's Control

In a strange twist, when users attempt to use the "not interested" feature, they often find that it has little effect. When attempting to watch a video, if the system detects that the user previously clicked on the "not interested" button for the same video, it will still play the audio of that video. This is an unusual outcome and suggests that YouTube's control over video recommendations may be limited.

Twitch Introduces Subscriber-Only Live Streams

In a significant development, Twitch has announced plans to introduce subscriber-only live streams. These exclusive broadcasts will allow users to access content that is only available to subscribers, including moderators and other select groups. The new feature comes with no additional cost to the user, as they will continue to pay their monthly subscription fee.

The Implications of Exclusive Content

While this move may seem like a minor change, it could have significant implications for the live streaming community on Twitch. By offering exclusive content, streamers can increase their earnings and build stronger relationships with their audience. This could lead to more engaging and interactive streams, as well as increased user satisfaction.

A New Option for Viewers

For viewers, this feature presents an exciting opportunity to access unique content that is not available to the general public. By paying a monthly subscription fee, users can gain access to exclusive live streams that offer a new level of interaction and engagement with their favorite streamers.

lately Apple likes to just abandon things in the name of just saving money they just want to save money like they did it with 3d touch right 3d touch great feature but it takes money in terms of hardware for Apple to put it in the phone and obviously engineering resources to do that and for how many people probably use it on a daily basis especially a feature that can just be sort of replicated in a long press Apple just said Frank it the getting rid of 3d touch it's already happening in iOS 13 which I hate but now they're already abandoning something that they were gonna put in the iPhone 11 not gonna be there now so reportedly within the iPhone 11 in that sweet nice sexy spider looking camera ray they were going to feature quantum dot technology which effectively by def mission would give precise control of light that allows for higher quality digital camera sensors than the silicon ones in today's typical smartphones now there was a British tech company named Nana Co that was actually doing this they specialized in this in this whole quantum dot technology stuff well their stocks just plummeted because they lost they lost a client that client being Apple apparently to cut those costs Apple went ahead and severed their 21 million dollar deal that money literally equated to over half of that company's revenue just poof gone the great Tim Cook is giveth and taketh away so you know even though that quantum dot technology would have improved things like AR features within the iPhone it's not worth it for Apple according to Apple so there you go in fact I'm pretty sure this is how the conversation went in a meeting Tim Cook was like how can we shave car that's what Tim Cook sounds like in my head oh I don't know Timmy we could probably take that AR feature that we were working on make it way less precise and just guess what do you mean gesh I mean oh no we'll just put weight wherever it looks like it goes in the camera but our customer will save 21 million dollars oh oh yeah all right next up we got some YouTube news pay attention cuz this could be helpful apparently YouTube is gonna start implementing changes that will give you more control
