The Daily Crunch 11/30/16 Netflix has an offline mode. Netflix has an offline mode. Netflix has an offline mode. Also other things in The Daily Crunch for November 30, 2016. And if you're a Prisma fan, shed a tear for Facebook Live integration. 1. Netflix finally gets an offline mode Today is a historic day: Netflix now lets you store content offline for viewing when you're not connected to the Internet. Amazon Prime has offered this previously, but this is Netflix we're talking about. Let's declare a national holiday. If you're looking for pointers, here's how it works. 
2. GoPro to cut 15% of global workforce GoPro tried to bury the lede in a press release about Black Friday sales today, but the real metric to watch is that its cutting 15 percent of its workforce, or around 200 jobs. Also its president, Tony Bates, is stepping down at the end of the year. GoPro is on a streak of bad luck, including its drone recall, so it really needs to chug the Mountain Dew and get amped on a turnaround quick. 3. Eric Schmidt-backed data science startup gets more funding Civis sounds like a game I'd like to play about city-building, but it's actually a data science startup founded by Barack Obama's 2012 campaign analytics guru. Civis has customers including the 2020 US Census, so it must be doing something right. 4. Facebook shuts the gate Facebook why? Prisma just launched the ability to add its art filters to FB Live streams earlier this month but the social networking giant says "no more" now that it's doing its own. Facebook says it's because the API isn't being used as intended, but really it just wants to greedily own all your attention on mobile. 5. Lucid is going to make EVs in Arizona in 2017 More electric carmakers is better for everyone, and Lucid Motors looks ready to enter the fray with a manufacturing facility set to open in 2017 in Arizona. Lucid's first car is a four-door sedan, with a max 400-mile range. Hopefully this one makes it past the hype phase. 6. xHamster login dump Logins and passwords are sensitive things – perhaps more sensitive when they're for membership to a porn website. About 380,000 xHamster users might have cause for embarrassment after a dump of credentials was posted to LeakBase. There's a cache you can't clear. 7. Spark gets a desktop client Email! Still no good way to deal with it. But Spark comes close, and now the mobile-first client is available on macOS. Email still sucks though. |
