YouTube is cracking own on ad-blockers
If you have an ad-blocker you'll likely get a warning that using it violates their terms of service. It's been a slow road here - they previously had allowed you to watch one video before blocking you, but no more. The big streamers are doing the same, but with account sharing - everyone is focused on profitability at the moment and are tightening up where they can.
Apple really wants you to buy a new laptop
They released their new M3 chips on Tuesday and put those into MacBook Pros and the iMac. They referenced multiple times that 'Intel-based' Macs were slow, and that it's a great time to upgrade! They also did their "scary fast" event at a new time - 8pm in the East, 5pm in the West - I imagine hoping to get in front of consumers rather than industry folks.The trouble is that most people don't have a need for these more powerful chips right now.. and the sales reflect that with Q3 of 2023 was down 34% compared to Q3 of last year -- they did $7.6 billion in sales.
