Twitch revamps rules on sexual content
Adult content such as nude drawings and sculptures are now permitted on streaming site Twitch - as long as it is deemed artistic.
Creators can now also stream video highlighting their "breasts, buttocks or pelvic region" the Amazon-owned site has announced.
A blanket ban on pornographic material remains in place.
"We have received consistent feedback from streamers... that it can be difficult to know how their content will be interpreted," Twitch vice president of customer trust Angela Hession said in a blog post.
Other dances such as pole dancing and "twerking" are also now allowed without being labelled.
Twitch said this change was made because the previous rules created issues, such as barring "twerking at a wedding" or exercise classes that involved pole dancing.

Xiaomi announces changes in Bootloader Unlocking Policy for Global and Indian devices
Xiaomi has updated Bootloader Unlock Rules for its HyperOS-eligible devices
1) Bootloader unlocking permission will be required through the Xiaomi Community App.
Application Portal will go live soon with Application 'Rules'.
2) Users will NO longer receive Xiaomi HyperOS updates if they leave their devices unlocked.
To receive HyperOS updates, users will need to 're-lock' devices on MIUI 14
As a "Human-centric" OS designed & tailored to connect personal devices, cars, & IoT products in an ecosystem, Xiaomi HyperOS places a "paramount focus on security"
🤓🤓🤓🤓👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
A brand that does NOT care for Security Patches to patch vulnerabilities in its OS, claims HyperOS focuses on security.
Xiaomi did the same with China market, so expect "similar" BULLSHIT bootloader Unlocking rules for Global & Indian devices too

Adobe and Figma call off $20 billion merger
Adobe first announced it would acquire Figma in September 2020 in a cash-and-stock deal worth about $20 billion.
The news sent Adobe shares plunging, but the company reiterated that the acquisition would be a natural complement to Adobe’s portfolio, writing in the original announcement that “the combination of Adobe and Figma will usher in a new era of collaborative creativity.”
Adobe and Figma have terminated their planned $20 billion merger in light of regulatory hurdles.
Also, Adobe will now pay Figma a $1 billion breakup fee.
In a statement, the two companies said “there is no clear path to receive necessary regulatory approvals from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority.”
David Wadhwani (Adobe Senior VP) said, "We will continue to look for ways to partner with Figma to delight our joint customers."

Redmi Note 13 Turbo might be powered by Snapdragon 8 series
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650-AB) is codenamed pineapple & multiple variants of 8 Gen 3 exist
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (SM8650-AC) will power the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
This, "For Galaxy" naming is bought by Samsung from Qualcomm & is basically the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 3 only
It also gives Samsung exclusive rights to launch the "8 Plus" series Snapdragon chips earlier than competitors.
That's why "8 Plus" snapdragon chips by other OEMs gets launched approx 6 months later
Now, an "underclocked" variant of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8635) manufactured by TSMC on its 4nm node also exists and Redmi Note 13 Turbo might be powered by the same
Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (SM7550-AB) was recently launched & Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 (SM7675) will also launch
