Netflix to charge some users in Latin America more for sharing their passwords
Netflix will start charging some users in Latin America $2.99 more for sharing their passwords, in an attempt to boost its revenue.
Netflix launched over a decade ago, and it's one of the most popular TV streaming services out there. It has evolved and attempted to adapt to the changing times -- through different strategies and offerings. What started as a DVD rental platform now has its own catalogue of original content, which it offers digitally. Recently, though, Netflix started losing subscribers for the first time in over ten years. That could be due to various factors -- such as viewers losing interest in the content it's producing, competitors launching their own rivaling services, etc. Netflix partially blames password sharing for this decline in subscriber count. Since then, it has been coming up with new strategies to combat this depression.

This Tasker project lets you easily copy YouTube video descriptions
Can't copy content from YouTube video descriptions? This new Tasker project can help. Read on to learn more.
While the YouTube app on Android gives you access to video descriptions, it doesn't let you interact with the content in the description field. Unless the description has links, you can't interact with it in any way. And even if it has links, you can only tap on them to open them in a WebView wrapper within the YouTube app. As a result, you can't copy text from the video description and paste it into a different app or copy links to open them in your browser of choice. Thankfully, there's a Tasker project that lets you copy YouTube video descriptions with a single tap.

Snapchat can finally be accessed through a browser, but it will cost you
Snap Inc. has announced that it will allow its users to access its platform from a browser. The service comes at a cost though.
It has been ten years since the release of Snapchat. Since then, the company has expanded the app's capabilities, moved into the hardware space with drones and glasses, and has taken on competitors old and new.

This is different from other social platforms like TikTok or Instagram. Today that will finally change as Snap Inc. has announced that for the first time, Snapchat will be accessible from a computer.
