Apple is planning to debut a new operating system called homeOS with its long-rumored smart displays, the first of which is expected to arrive as soon as 2025, according to Bloombergs Mark Gurman. Reports of a HomePod-like device with a display have been swirling for over a year, and Gurman said just this summer that Apple is working on a tabletop smart display equipped with a robotic arm that can tilt and rotate the screen for better viewing. In his latest report, Gurman says there are two versions in the works: a low-end display that will offer the basics, like FaceTime and smart home controls, and the high-end robotic variant thatll cost upwards of $1,000. Well reportedly see the cheaper version first possibly next year followed by the high-end display. Gurman previously said the robotic smart display could be released in 2026 at the earliest. You wont have to wait for the premium model to get a taste of Apples vision for home AI, though. According to Gurman, Apple Intelligence will be a key part of the experience for both devices. The new homeOS will be based on Apple TVs tvOS, he notes.

Spotify Status (@SpotifyStatus) September 29, 2024 The problems spiked a little before 11AM ET, per Downdetector, and users were still encountering issues as of 1PM. At the time of writing, the web player was initially opening intermittently for me before cutting to a request timeout screen after a few minutes, but now it just shows Page not available. The app, on the other hand, seems to be mostly back online. Meanwhile, the comments section of Downdetector has turned into a full-blown unhinged group chat and I am here for it.

Songs from popular artists have begun to disappear from YouTube as the platforms deal with the performing rights organization SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) approaches its expiration date. As reported by Variety, certain songs by Adele, Green Day, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., Burna Boy and other artists have been blocked in the US, though their entire catalogs arent necessarily affected. Videos that have been pulled, like Adeles Rolling in the Deep, now just show a black screen with the message: This video contains content from SESAC. It is not available in your country. In a statement to Engadget, a YouTube spokesperson said the platform has been in talks with SESAC to renew the deal, but despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before its expiration. We take copyright very seriously and as a result, content represented by SESAC is no longer available on YouTube in the US. We are in active conversations with SESAC and are hoping to reach a new deal as soon as possible. According to a source that spoke to Variety, however, the deal hasnt even expired yet itll reportedly terminate sometime next week and the move on YouTubes part may be a negotiation tactic. SESAC has not yet released a statement.
