https://www.yates.co.nz/garden-club/public/159512 https://www.charitychoice.co.uk/fundraiser/tech-hub The Daily Crunch is TechCrunch’s roundup of our biggest and most important stories.

Netflix reports net subscriber loss in the US, misses global subscriber growth predictions Netflix’s  price hikes might finally be convincing some consumers to unsubscribe. The company reported net growth of 2.7 million subscribers worldwide, but it actually added 2.83 million new subscribers internationally while losing around 130,000 in the United States. Growth was lower than expected across the board, but it underperformed more noticeably in regions where it introduced a price hike. https://www.stem.org.uk/users/techhub https://speakerdeck.com/techhub01 https://www.eetimes.com/profile.asp?piddl_userid=163414# https://www.autocar.co.uk/users/techhub01 https://fivearts.inf

Netflix’s ‘The Irishman’ gets its first trailer starring a digitally de-aged De Niro

https://www.producthunt.com/@tech_hub https://everplaces.com/techhub https://forums.workpermitvisas.in/index.php?topic=4976.0 https://forum.lopgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30983 There’s plenty of reason to be excited for “The Irishman.” The Netflix -backed film teams Martin Scorsese with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci for a biopic based on the lives of organized crime-linked union figures Frank Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa. But it’s the effects that have everyone talking. Granted, that’s not the kind of phrase you generally hear in the lead up to a Scorsese film (particularly one that unites him with both De Niro and Pacino for the first time), but the involvement of Industrial Light & Magic has piqued the internet’s interest. https://www.forum.7feetshipping.com/thread-759.html https://weclapp-forum.de/showthread.php?tid=57538 https://www.summerdreams.group/showthread.php?tid=15127 http://bbs.chinasky.se/viewtopic.php?t=40153 https://www.iacepc.com/foru

Week in Review: Netflix’s big problem and Apple’s thinnest product yet

https://yogatrade.com/members/techhub/ http://www.telldc.com/user_profile.php?uid=1226273 This is Week-in-Review, where I give a heavy amount of analysis and/or rambling thoughts on one story while scouring the rest of the hundreds of stories that emerged on TechCrunch this week to surface my favorites for your reading pleasure. Last week, I talked about the Capital One breach and how Equifax taught us that irresponsible actions only affect companies in the PR department. The big story Disney is going to eat Netflix’s  lunch. The content giant announced this week that when Disney+ launches, it will be shipping a $12.99 bundle that brings its Disney+ streaming service, ESPN+ and ad-supported Hulu  together into a single-pay package. That price brings those three services together for the same cost as Netflix and is $5 cheaper that what you would spend on each of the services individually. This announcement from Disney comes after Netflix stuttered in its most recent earnin

After a breakout year, looking ahead to the future of podcasting

https://www.revolutiontr.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20256 this year has been a breakout one for podcasting. According to Edison Research’s Infinite Dial report, more than half of Americans have now listened to a podcast, and an estimated 32% listen monthly (up from 26% last year). This is the largest yearly increase since this data started being tracked in 2008. Podcast creation also continues to grow, with more than 700,000 podcasts and 29 million podcast episodes, up 27% from last year. Thanks to this growing listener base, big companies are finally starting to pay attention to the space — Spotify  plans to spend $500 million on acquisitions this year, and already acquired content studio Gimlet, tech platform Anchor, and true crime network Parcast for a combined $400 million. In the past week, Google added playable podcasts to search results, Spotify released an analytics dashboard for podcasters and Pandora launched a tool for podcasters to submit their shows. We’ve been go

Google falls to third place in worldwide smart speaker market

Amazon continued to lead the race, accounting for 6.6 million units shipped in the quarter. Google, however, fell to the third spot as China’s Baidu surged ahead. Baidu in Q2 grew a sizable 3,700% to reach 4.5 million units, overtaking Google’s 4.3 million units shipped. China’s market overall doubled its quarterly shipments to 12.6 million units, or more than twice the U.S.’s 6.1 million total. The latter represents a slight (2.4%) decline since the prior quarter. Baidu’s growth in the quarter was attributed to aggressive marketing and go-to-market campaigns. It was particularly successful in terms of smart displays, w

Netflix tests human-driven curation with launch of ‘Collections’

https://venommc.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=21 http://lost-mc.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=4893 Netflix is testing a new way to help users find TV shows and movies they’ll want to watch with the launch of a “Collections” feature, currently in testing on iOS devices. While Netflix today already offers thematic suggestions of things to watch, based on your Netflix viewing history, Collections aren’t only based on themes. According to Netflix, the titles are curated by experts on the company’s creative teams, and are organized into these collections based on similar factors — like genre, tone, story line and character traits. This human-led curation is different from how Netflix typically makes its recommendations. The streaming service is famous for its advanced categorization system, where there are hundreds of niche categories that go beyond broad groupings like “Action,” “Drama,” “Sci-Fi,” “Romance” and the like. These narrower subcategories allow the streamer to make more s

Hulu and Amazon Prime Video chip away at Netflix’s dominance

Netflix is still the No. 1 subscription streaming service in the U.S., according to a new report from eMarketer, but rivals, including Amazon  Prime Video and Hulu,  are starting to cut into its market share. The analyst firm forecasts 182.5 million U.S. consumers will subscribe to over-the-top streaming services this year, or 53.3% of the population. Netflix is still the top choice here, with 158.8 million viewers in 2019, and it is continuing to grow. However, its share of the U.S. over-the-top subscription market will decline even as its total subscriber numbers climb, the report said. Though Netflix announced in Q2 the first drop in U.S. users in nearly a decade, eMarketer says Netflix will see strong growth throughout the rest of the year — up 7.6% over 2018. This will be driven by the new seasons of popular series like “Orange Is the New Black” and “Stranger Things,” as well as Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese’s new movie, “The Irishman.” But Netflix is no long

That also means baddies can potentially talk to our cars, as we’ve seen in the experimental hack of a Jeep. But hacking isn’t the only danger, because wherever there’s a computer, there’s certain to be a computer virus lurking. This is the problem Argus Cyber Security is working to address. Granted, there aren’t many viruses being spread from car to car right now, since connectivity in automobiles is still new. But Argus VP
