We're Back!!

(Total read time: 5 minutes)

Good morning folks! Your favorite shitposter, Divyansh, and Subhamay are back with your weekly summary of the biggest tech news, but first, we would like to apologize for not being able to send you guys the newsletter last week.

Our college is in Sikkim and that means that we were stuck in the middle of the natural calamity that reigned down on Sikkim on the night of 4th October. You can refer to this article to know more about what happened 👉🏻 Link

You can also donate to the CM relief funds to help Sikkim recover from this natural disaster and rebuild what has been lost. Donation Link

Every small contribution counts. but now let’s move on to why we knock on your inbox every Saturday. We have got the stuff ready, step out of your kitchen and start some mild music(not on Spotify tho). Let’s dive right in!

Microsoft finally owns Call of Duty 😔

Our favourite monopoly Microsoft finally went ahead with the deal of acquiring Activision Blizard for a whopping $68.7 billion dollars. Microsoft had their eyes set on acquiring Activision for a long time and they first put out the offer in front of the world back in January 2022.

Since then there have been multiple international government organizations that have tried to stop the deal citing that it will create a monopoly but I guess it’s just too late.

Stupid Microsoft, they paid almost $70 billion to buy COD while I just usually download it illegally🤷🏻‍♂️

Chad Telegram🗿

The world is a very strange place right now, War in Ukraine has been going on for almost 2 years and now we’re looking at another potential war between Palestine and Israel. And with all the war footage that is coming out of the war zone, three platforms stood up in circulating this like wildfire.

While X and Meta quickly bowed down to the regulators and said that they would curb the war-related content, Telegram on the other hand took the stand to bow down and commented that there would be no restrictions whatsoever.

Now I don’t know which side you support in this conflict but one thing I support is the free flow of information and this move by our own lovely telegram has my respect.🫡

Spotify crossed limits this time😡

Do you remember the Ad streaming platform Spotify? Where do you listen to occasional music between ads? Well brace yourselves because if you’re in India(which I know you are) and you are using Spotify for free then the app is just going to torture you till you buy its premium plan(or install a modded apk)

The App recently moved many essential features behind its paywall meaning that even shuffling and playing a playlist is now not possible. Great move Spotify, thank god I started using pagalworld again last month. Reply to this mail and I will send you the links for Spotify modded apk🙃

OpenAI finally making those green bucks💸

Our future overlords at OpenAI are now printing hard earned cash since Sam Altman told their employees that the annualized rate of revenue has crossed $1.3 billion and that it is a 30% jump since this year’s summer.

Great going guys, Just remember to not kill me in the AI revolution whenever it happens(It’s inevitable).
