You Should Disable This New Feature in Your YouTube App Right Away!

YouTube has introduced a new feature allowing users to watch YouTube Shorts in landscape mode on smartphones, currently in the rollout phase and not universally available. This feature can be activated through the YouTube app's accessibility settings. When enabled, it automatically shifts to landscape mode when the smartphone is rotated. However, viewing Shorts in landscape mode results in a smaller display surrounded by black bands, which may diminish the user experience. The rationale behind this feature is unclear, but it may cater to users with reduced mobility who prefer landscape orientation. YouTube is expected to address landscape mode for foldable smartphones and tablets by the end of 2024.

Ask Jerry: Who are the 3 billion Android users?

Apple claims to have two billion devices, and these figures are credible. The numbers refer to devices rather than users, and a device is classified as active if it communicates with the Play Store at least once every 30 days. Android devices include smartphones, wearables, tablets, media streamers, and Chromebooks, contributing to over three billion devices in total. A single user can own multiple devices, which can inflate the overall count. Estimates suggest that three billion devices may be used by only 375 million distinct individuals, but there is no verifiable data on the actual number of users versus devices.

Microsoft quietly implies Windows has LOST almost half a billion users since Windows 11 debut — bleak outlook suggests Windows is haemorrhaging users

Windows is currently operational on over a billion devices, a decline from 1.4 billion reported in 2022. Windows has experienced a 15% decline in its user base over the past decade. Microsoft introduced AI-powered devices known as Copilot+ PCs in 2024, but the reception has been lukewarm. Users are concerned about the requirement for an online account to set up a new PC and the presence of ads and bloatware in Windows 11. Windows 11 is gaining market share and is expected to surpass Windows 10 as the most widely used version, but it is unlikely to achieve the same popularity as Windows 10.

Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

Windows currently powers over a billion active devices worldwide. Microsoft's annual report for 2022 indicated that over 1.4 billion devices were operating on Windows 10 or 11, suggesting a decline of around 400 million users over the past three years. Microsoft is encouraging users to transition to Windows 11 as support for earlier versions wanes. Despite the decline in Windows users, there has not been a corresponding increase in MacBook sales, which now contribute 7.7% to Apple's revenue. The market has many Chromebook options, particularly in educational institutions, which may lead future buyers to favor Google over Microsoft. The rise of free, web-based applications like Google Docs has prompted users to reconsider their loyalty to Microsoft.
