Do not mix it
Why did Spotify remove the auto-shuffle feature (play songs in random order) from its album pages? In order not to upset Adele, of course. It turns out that the British singer, who recently launched her new album, 30, demands that people listen to her songs in the order they appear on the album, "since they are telling a story", she claims. According to the BBC, Adele has approached Spotify demanding the removal of the Shappel option from her album page. Not only did the music app respond to it, it even removed the option
from all the
album pages in the repository - and drew quite a bit of criticism. Are sites allowed to cancel features just because some artist requests? Do customers not deserve to listen to an album they have purchased the way they want, without Adele, or any other artist, dictating to them the order in which the songs will be played? Good questions.
To be sure, one can understand why Spotify stood still when Adele asked for something.
Easy on Me, the lead single from her new album, smashed the app's record hits last month, with about 24 million streams in one day worldwide - about three million streams more than the Korean boys' single BTS single, which was launched in May.
Shaking healing
Familiar with the fact that your phone is faltering and you just want to throw it away in frustration?
So now you have a good reason to do it - sort of.

Instagram launched last week, currently in the US only, a feature called Rage Shake that allows annoyed users to tightly shake the phones they are after experiencing a glitch - not (just) to calm the nerves, but mainly to report the glitch. A window where users will be asked to explain what exactly happened - similar to the Report a Problem option. This is how you eat from the cake and also leave it whole (and not crushed on the floor).
There is electricity in the air
Is it a plane? Is this a bird? Is this Superman? Wait, it's actually an airplane, electric - not for nothing. Two months after its maiden flight, the plane smashed Spirit of Innovation of the Rolls-Royce aircraft speed records for electric - and virtually any electrical tool Kcb - after reaching a speed of 623.4 mph. The plane also broke records last week, more like a
constant speed highest flight Three-kilometer
tram - 555.9 km / h (which improved the previous record, set by Siemens' Extra 330LE aircraft, at 213 km / h), and the
fastest time to ascend to a height of three kilometers
- 202 seconds - an improvement of 60 seconds compared to the previous record Impressive.
However, just before you pack your suitcase and look for the nearest electric flight to New York, it is important to note that commercial electric flights are not yet practical.
Batteries of electric planes are simply not strong enough for long flights, and will require additional charging even before you arrive in Eilat.
At the moment, at most, there is talk of operating short commercial passenger flights of about 30 minutes between cities in North America, and of course also of breaking records.
Take your time
Our privacy will have to wait at least another year.
Meta has decided to postpone the full encryption move by default of the chats on Facebook and Instagram to 2023.
Although the calls on WhatsApp, which is also meta-owned, are already encrypted, the integration of encryption in the other two apps is delayed, as the company needs more time "to do it right" and will not meet the original deadline - 2022 to complete the encryption.
It should be noted that even today it is possible to have encrypted conversations on Instagram and Facebook Messenger, but for this purpose the encryption must be activated manually and a bit cumbersome (in Messenger, for example, the option of Secret Conversation must be checked after the chat starts).
