Today's Story Highlights

Evidence of War Crimes Vanishing From Social Media
A controversy has erupted over YouTube's practice of taking down videos
with graphically violent content, which also may be evidence of recent
war crimes. YouTube's policy -- similar to other social media platforms
-- has been to remove content that contains hate speech, disinformation
or disturbing images. In the past, social media services have been
called out for failing to do enough.

Are You Suffering From Technophobia?
The fear of technology has been around for as long as technology itself,
and like technology itself, it is always changing. There is evidence of
"technophobia" -- the technical name for this affliction -- in every age
and in every part of the world. However, it is perhaps reaching a peak
in modern society. Americans are more afraid of technology than death,
suggests research conducted in 2019.

Active Noise Cancellation a Big Draw in New Apple AirPods
Active Noise Cancellation is just one of the hot new features in the
latest generation of Apple's AirPods. The new AirPods Pro, which go on
sale Wednesday for $249, combine earbud microphones with software to
remove background noise and improve a user's listening experience. An
outward-facing mic on the bud collects environmental sound for analysis.

Linux Inside Azure Sphere on the Horizon
Azure Sphere will be generally available in Feb 2020, Microsoft has
announced. Its scheduled arrival highlights Microsoft's readiness to
fulfill its promise for better IoT device security at scale. Microsoft
first introduced Azure Sphere in 2018, opting to use its own version of
a Linux operating system instead of Windows 10 to drive its new Azure
Sphere OS to securely connect IoT devices.

Nvidia's New Shield TV Models Add Dolby Vision, Atmos
Nvidia has introduced two new versions of its Android TV-based Shield
streaming product. Shield TV and Shield TV Pro are replacements for the
last generation of Shield video streamers, which Nvidia introduced in
2017. The Shield TV Pro retains the form factor of its predecessors --
the box-like form favored by the industry generally -- while the lower
priced Shield TV is cylinder-shaped.

Getting Sustainability Right
It seems strange to me that our governments haven't been more aggressive
about protecting the environment, given that the cost of not doing so
poses an existential risk to the human race. It seems insane to me as we
watch parts of the country burn and other parts of the country drown
that we're still arguing about climate change rather than coming
together to do something about it.

EA Rewards Battlefield V Fans With Expansive Pacific Chapter
There's a new trailer for Battlefield V , the World War II first-person
shooter Electronic Arts released last year, highlighting the game's
Chapter 5: War in the Pacific . The trailer previews team-based gameplay
in settings ranging from Europe to the South Pacific. War in the Pacific
is a free download that will be available on Oct. 31.

Threat From Above: How to Stop Hostile Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles -- or "drones" as these flying objects more
commonly are known -- pose a growing danger, cybersecurity expert Kevin
Townsend recently warned. The drone category is broad -- it includes
toys for hobbyists, tools for commerce, and devices used for a variety
of military purposes. They range in size from massive military drones to
small hobbyist devices.
