 YouTube is testing a sleeker interface design for creators' channels. Here are the innovations seen...


YouTube has content to offer to everyone with its videos with various concepts. The platform, which has developed itself over the years and taken its current form, has not undergone any major changes for a long time. In its final form, it met adequate functions.

Small improvements were made, such as testing the color dynamics, removing the gray status bar. Now, after a long hiatus, the video platform is testing a new channel interface for the mobile app. Here are the details of the new channel interface that YouTube is testing…

YouTube's new channel interface features

The new interface, noticed by a viewer who donates to a broadcaster they watch, brings the profile photo of the channel owner to the front and center. In addition, the photo is located just below the name. This new design taken by YouTube does not break the current subscriber count and the red button for subscribing or the gray button for subscribing.

Besides the new interface, a few details are in the testing phase. The number of videos that are not visible in the current version of the application appear visible in the test version. There is also a short description of the channel, and when you click on it, you can get more information about the channel by accessing an "About" section where you can read the full text.

While the "Join" button, which is a paid subscription service, is next to the subscribe button in the current version, it is centered below the channel description in the test version. This is a design that will make the feature more prominent. The new channel interface test version has only been seen in the Android app for now.

This new test version is available on the latest version of YouTube (16.49.37). It is not yet clear whether these features will come or when they will be available. It would be helpful to keep the app up-to-date to increase your chances of participating in the test version.

Social media companies will now give an unconditional account!

 The USA has been working on the transparency of social media platforms for a while. Finally, a new law was proposed in the Senate.



The US Senate is coming up with a new social media bill. Determined to oversee social media platforms, the senate announced the bill that it had been working on for a while. Accordingly, the platform data of social media companies will be audited by independent researchers. Companies will send their own data to this board unconditionally.

Platform Accountability and Transparency Act (PATA) is coming!

Democratic senators Chris Coons (D-DE), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), as well as Republican Rob Portman (R-OH) announced a bill on Thursday. According to the announcement, social media platforms will have to share data with qualified researchers defined as proprietary by the National Science Foundation (NSF).


According to the law, called the Platform Accountability and Transparency Act (PATA), social media companies will be obliged to comply with data sharing rules after approval by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In a possible data flow breach, the platforms will lose their immunity provided by Section 230 of the Communications Ethics Act.

Laura Edelson, principal investigator of the Cybersecurity for Democracy project, made statements on the subject.


"The Platform Accountability and Transparency Act is a really comprehensive proposal for platform transparency. If this law passes, it will provide a real avenue for researchers to better understand online harms and begin finding solutions. "



The US Senate has been working on social media regulation for a long time. So much so that in 2019, a proposal for the Filter Bubble Transparency Law was passed by the Senate. In 2020, another law proposal was put forward called Platform Responsibility and Consumer Transparency (PACT). Finally, with the Platform Accountability and Transparency Law, it is aimed to make the data of companies auditable.


Studies continue to examine the damage caused by social media, especially on children. Recently, Instagram head Adam Mosseri appeared before the Senate to explain how the platform is impacting the mental health of young users. Members of the Senate complained in this meeting about the inability of Instagram and its parent company, Meta.

Microsoft May Lower 'Windows 11 System Requirements' That Are Annoying Some Users

  Author : Erdmncdr     No comments

 Microsoft has made a new statement about the system requirements of Windows 11. Statements made by the company suggest that the requirements for Windows 11 may be changed. However, Microsoft continues to play its cards face down.

US-based technology giant Microsoft has made a new statement regarding the system requirements, which is one of the discussed issues of Windows 11. In this statement, the company mentioned how the system requirements are determined, and implied that the requirements announced for now may change in the coming periods. In addition, the application called PC Health Check, which tests whether computers support Windows 11, has been removed as of now.

According to a blog post by Microsoft, the company is aware of the reactions from users and is trying to shape its work in this direction. At this point, semiconductor manufacturers have also stepped in. Frankly, Microsoft's statements suggest that the current system requirements may change after the Insider program.


"Our system requirements are generally the same as Teams and Office"


In the statements made by Microsoft, it is mentioned that my announced system requirements are not actually high. Even giving an example at this point, the company says that the system requirements they have determined are at the same level as Office applications and Microsoft Teams application. As a matter of fact, Microsoft is right in this inference, but the main issue that users criticize is TPM 2.0 support.

Speaking of TPM 2.0; Microsoft does not clarify this issue in today's statements. Talking about what the TPM does in certain parts of the content and how it makes Windows 11 secure, the company does not explain what kind of module will be needed. Strangely, many systems with TPM 1.5 support also install without any errors during the Windows 11 upgrade. Considering all this, we can say that Microsoft is considering taking a step back.

Microsoft Examined Users' Brain Activity to Improve Windows 11

  Author : Erdmncdr     No comments

 Windows chief product officer Panos Panay, in a statement about Windows 11, said that while the operating system was being developed, it was used to examine people's brain activity. The reason for this review is to improve the system by getting direct ideas about the user experience. 






Microsoft recently introduced its new operating system, Windows 11, after 6 years. Windows 11, which came to the fore with the sudden developments in the past month, was previously known as the 'operating system that will not be released'. However, Microsoft managed to surprise everyone by taking an unexpected step in this regard.







Windows 11, which has moved away from the Windows design language that we are used to in terms of design and arousing curiosity with its improved or completely newly added features, will be available in the coming autumn months. For now, there is a voice coming out of every head, especially at the point of design, and there are people who don't like it as well as those who like it. However, according to a statement coming directly from Microsoft, the company is quite well prepared for Windows 11.









People's 'pleasure-related' brain activity studied:



Making a statement to The Independent about Windows 11, Windows chief product officer Panos Panay talked about the methods they used while developing the operating system. Panay said that in order to improve the user experience and improve the operating system, they examined the brain activities of people while using the system during the development phase of Windows 11.

Panay summed it up with the words, "Literally, to the point where we measure the brain, measure pleasure. Basically, we measure how people feel when using every detail of the product and how it all comes together."

In fact, many world brands are using this application, which has entered the field of neuromarketing, a marketing strategy that has been used for many years, for their new products. The system basically works by presenting new products to the subjects and measuring the responses of the brain. In addition to products, similar methods are used for commercials and even movies. As a matter of fact, it is not surprising that a company like Microsoft has used this method for the new operating system it will release years later.

Panay also explained how the process works in Windows 11: "What we do is we put people in front of new products, and they use the products. We then measure many different areas of the brain where it says, 'This is enjoyable, this is great, it feels good'. Then we ask questions and basically associate thought with emotion.”
