Twitch caps streamers’ storage at 100 hours of highlights and uploads

Twitch on Wednesday announced it will begin limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads, and will delete content if a channel exceeds the limit. The company said it’s introducing the change because highlights haven’t been effective in driving discovery or engagement, and because storage is costly. The storage cap goes into effect on April 19. The change applies to highlights, which are snippets edited from a channel’s past broadcasts, as well as other uploaded content. Clips and

Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads

Twitch is planning to cull some of the content archived by streamers to save on storage costs. On Wednesday, the streaming platform announced that it will introduce a 100-hour storage cap for highlights and uploads starting on April 19th, warning that users will have their content automatically deleted until it falls below the limit. Twitch says it’s doing this because “Highlights haven’t been very effective in driving discovery or engagement,” and it isn’t worth the cost of storing thousands o

The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense

The iPhone 16e, Apple's replacement for the iPhone SE, has plenty of features that make it a good deal, from its A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with an OLED screen. But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe? Despite looking a lot like an iPhone 14, and using components that are similar to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging. Apple expects iPhone 16e owners to be happy with the same

Build your own SQLite in Rust, Part 5: Evaluating queries

In the previous posts, we've explored the SQLite file format and built a simple SQL parser. It's time to put these pieces together and implement a query evaluator! In this post, we'll lay the groundwork for evaluating SQL queries and build a query evaluator that can handle basic SELECT statements. While our initial implementation won't support filtering, sorting, grouping, or joins yet, it will give us the foundation to add these features in future posts. As usual, the complete source code for

NASA Captures Devastating Tennessee Floods From Space After Winter Storm Drenches Region

A large winter storm system that moved across the East Coast over the weekend caused serious floods in Tennessee and Kentucky, as seen in newly released NASA satellite images. The images show the Mississippi River’s serpentine path in western Tennessee and eastern Arkansas and Missouri. They also show the rivers and water bodies east of the Mississippi—in Tennessee—inundated by up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain over a 48-hour period. A state of emergency was declared in Tennessee after a

There’s No Longer a Sub-$500 iPhone. Does It Matter?

Yesterday, the cheapest iPhone cost $429 if you wanted to buy directly from Apple. Today? It's $599. The new iPhone 16e replaced the iPhone SE, giving the aging device a much-needed cosmetic upgrade and power boost, but it comes at a cost. The overhaul is so big that the iPhone 16e is essentially a new class of device in Apple's smartphone lineup, hence the name change. (Apple didn't say what the “e” stands for.) Apple also took this opportunity to cut the $599 iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus from

Rabbit shows off the AI agent it should have launched with

is a weekend editor who covers the latest in tech and entertainment. He has written news, reviews, and more as a tech journalist since 2020. The Humane AI Pin has collapsed, but Rabbit is still kicking. The company published a blog post and video today showing off a “generalist Android agent,” slowly controlling apps on a tablet in much the same way that Rabbit claimed its R1 device would over a year ago. (It couldn’t, and can’t.) The work builds on LAM Playground, a “generalist web agent” Rabb

Man Wakes Up, Finds That Large Chunk of SpaceX Rocket Has Crashed Into His Garden

A Polish man named Adam Borucki made an unusual discovery in his backyard after waking up one day: the purported remains of a second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. As the UK tabloid The Daily Mail reports, Borucki reported the "large object about [five by three feet] in size" to the local police. "We are investigating how the object ended up in this location, but the important thing is that no one was harmed," police spokesman Andrzej Borowiak told the tabloid. It seems likely that the ob

Instagram adds a whole slew of new DM features in latest update

Instagram is rolling out an update for its messaging system that adds several new tools. These features could allow Instagram to better compete with direct-messaging rivals like Apple iMessage and various third-party platforms. First up, there’s music-sharing. The update lets users share tunes in both one-on-one messages and group chats. Just open up the sticker tray and tap on the “Music” option. This will open up a search bar of Instagram's audio library. There are a couple of caveats here. T

Italian media groups file criminal complaint over the WhatsApp hack on journalists

The fallout continues from the recent WhatsApp hacking campaign (by a still-unconfirmed entity) that targeted nearly 100 journalists and activists. Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that a collection of Italian media groups has filed a criminal complaint with the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office. They hope to discover who installed the zero-click spyware, which was made by the Israeli-founded Paragon Solutions. According to Bloomberg, the complaint describes the spyware as an "intolerable intrusio
