says aws down again outage impacts twitch zoom playstation network hulu others amazon had another brief outage for a couple hours this week there's no real lesson here this is just news that we wanted to keep you guys updated about all right a couple of quick microsoft stories first of all microsoft has rolled out end-to-end encryption for teams unfortunately this is only available to enterprise users and it must be enabled by the it admins really quick microsoft has issued patch tuesday for december NUMBER_TOKEN which includes six zero day fixes and NUMBER_TOKEN flaws fixed patch tuesday is the second tuesday of every month and that's when microsoft pushes out pretty much all their updates i just like to remind everyone if you're using windows make sure you check for updates unfortunately patch tuesday also came with something negative for windows NUMBER_TOKEN users and that is that they have once again disabled changing the default browser so this is kind of an ongoing thing in windows NUMBER_TOKEN microsoft really only wants you to use edge and firefox went out of their way to find a workaround that allowed you to make firefox your default browser and microsoft shut that down so now edge is the only browser again the article does say there's a program called ms edge redirect i don't know anything about this program this is not an endorsement i'm just letting you know one thing they cite is a downside is it has to run in the background NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN. currently if you're a windows NUMBER_TOKEN user you may want to look into that again i haven't looked into it i'm not vouching for it but that might be one way to get around it let's talk about grinder grinder is a dating hookup app for gay by trans and queer people and they have been fined NUMBER_TOKEN million us dollars by norway's data protection authority for passing user data onto advertisers without consent the fine was originally NUMBER_TOKEN million dollars but it was reduced partially because the company actually like makes less money than they said they did and these fines are based on uh percentages of global income it was also reduced because the company has actually implemented a few fixes i don't think the article went into detail on what those were be careful when you're using these dating apps the dating app scene the app scene in general is such a mess right now but especially dating apps you give so much sensitive data to dating apps and companies unfortunately really abuse and take advantage of that quoting the article it's also worth noting that this investigation was limited to the process grinder used to obtain consent at the time of the complaint so it's not so much that they collected the data it's how they were collecting the data and they say that they've changed their process the decision does not include any requirements the grinder or their ad partners delete unlawfully obtained data but that could change in the future and the ad partners are also being investigated and those investigations are currently ongoing our next story comes from clear which is a biometrics company who is best known for using biometric authentication in airports and sports stadiums they are now attempting to break into the retail market to help people bypass long lines they openly admit that they are just trying to get people comfortable with the idea of biometrics again one of those stories be aware of it when you go out in public these things are becoming more and more mainstream another really quick story
