Zoom plans encryption upgrade just for paid users
The church my wife and I attend has been using Zoom for over two months now since the lockdown. We usually AirPlay to the living room ATV to watch on the big screen. The macOS client, since v5.0, has had a problem with AirPlay in that the video shows on the ATV but not the audio. I have no idea why or whether this is a known issue. Point being every other app (like YouTube for example) works fine. It's just the Zoom client and only the Mac client. If I AirPlay (mirroring) from my iPad both the video and the audio are fine on the ATV. The church also broadcasts live on Facebook and that AirPlays fine too.
Who knows.

HBO pulls Apple TV Channels integration following HBO Max debut
I still haven’t cut the cord completely and subscribe to Spectrum cable service that includes HBO. I had been using the HBO GO app to watch HBO on demand. I downloaded the HBO Max app, signed in with my Spectrum credentials and voilà I’m in. Looks interesting and even has TCM (Turner Classic Movies) content which I love. Of course all the DC movies are there too.mac_dog said:I’m really confused at this point. My roommate is paying a premium for cable service and these channels are now serving up their shit shows and are asking viewers to pay for their good content. Stars, Showtime, are a couple that have removed their content. Now HBO. It’s disappointing to say the least.

White House urges TSMC, Intel to grow US-based chip production
We (Americans) sold our souls to China decades ago. China now has the technology edge. They can manufacture electronic gadgets by the billions. They have the technology and they have the workforce and they have the experience. It took a pandemic for some of us to realize ALL of our drugs, ALL our PPE, most healthcare hardware, comes from China because they can build it faster and cheaper. Search Amazon for non-essential surgical masks, hand sanitizer, etc. It’s ALL from China, not a single U.S. manufacturer to be found. Wow, Apple, GM, started making PPE shit. What happens when the crisis is abated? What happens to all those ventilators being cobbled together? Will they be stored in a gigantic Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse somewhere in New Mexico?
The U.S. Treasury is borrowing $3 Trillion to cover the various stimulus legislation. How does the Treasury borrow money? They sell U.S. Treasury notes, that’s how. Any guesses as to who has been buying most of those treasury notes the past few decades? Come on now, you should know this. It’s CHINA of course. China owns big chunk of our debt these days, second only to Japan as of 2019. The U.K. owns a lot of it too. And a lot of Arab sheiks own a bunch. When will we be labeled as a credit risk?

European countries form coalition over contact tracing app concerns
What about the Chunnel? You drive your car up on a ferry like transportation platform and away you go. 35 minutes later you’re in the U.K.seanj said:

In the time it takes me to drive to the next Canadian province, I could cross 4-5 EU countries. Try doing contact tracing across that many different apps...
