What is Newsmax? Everything you need to know about the obscure pro-Trump TV network.
With its simple red, white, and blue lower third chyron and utterly innocuous name, Newsmax TV could be a minor news network like any other. Except it’s not. Newsmax TV is an ultra-conservative outlet that’s been operating on the fringe since 1998. But in recent weeks, it’s been catching on.
The typically conservative Fox News has not gotten behind Trump’s lie that there has been voter fraud, and that Biden is therefore not yet the president-elect. Seeing this as a betrayal, Trump, his allies, and subsequently his followers, have been turning to other sources of information willing to spread the message they want to hear. Read more...

Unblock American Netflix for under £2 a month with Surfshark
SAVE 83%: A two-year subscription to Surfshark is on sale for £1.68 per month as of Nov. 12, and includes an extra three months for free.
Surfshark is one of the most popular VPN services, even though it hasn't been around for as long as some of the other leading names. It's clear to see why, given that subscribers get unlimited connections, fast content delivery, advanced security and privacy, and personal customer support.
All of this is great, but most users don't care about these long lists of helpful features. Most users only care about one thing: whether a VPN can unlock streaming services from around the world. Read more...

SAVE 55%: Purchase an Echo Dot for £39.99 on Amazon, and get six months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free.
Black Friday can be stressful. There are a lot of deals on offer, and it can be tricky to know which ones are actually worth considering. It's not always like this though, because sometimes the best deals are totally obvious.
Amazon is giving away six months of Amazon Music Unlimited with all purchases of the Echo Dot. The Echo Dot is available for £39.99 on Amazon, and a six-month Amazon Music Unlimited subscription would normally cost close to £50. We don't need to tell you that this is a good deal. Read more...

Twitter meme identifies things that feel racist, but technically aren't
What's something that ISN'T a joke but still FEELS like a joke to you?
A new Twitter meme has users listing things that feel suss to them, despite being fairly innocuous on the face of it. Subtler than microaggressions, these objects and actions don't hold any particular connotations at first glance, but are so frequently accompanied by certain behaviour that they're now guilty by association.
It's the doctrine of joint criminal enterprise, but with bigotry.
The meme was kicked off on Tuesday by Twitter user abcdrih, who asked, "What's something that ISN'T racist but still FEELS racist to you?" Read more...

YouTube videos won't play right now, and maybe that's for the best
What in the world are Flat Earthers going to do?
Everyone's second-favorite radicalization engine came crashing to a halt late Wednesday afternoon as YouTube videos refused to play. The website itself loads just fine, but videos only display error messages when users attempt to play them.
According to DownDetector, which is owned by Mashable parent company Ziff Davis, reports of problems with YouTube started pouring in around 3:44 p.m. PT.
"If you're having trouble watching videos on YouTube right now, you're not alone – our team is aware of the issue and working on a fix," explained a YouTube spokesperson. "We'll follow up here [on Twitter] with any updates." Read more...

Google warns Google Drive users: Use it, or lose your files
It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your files are?
Google announced a new storage policy Wednesday governing user accounts, and while most of the resulting headlines focused of a new price tag for Google Photos, an important change went mostly overlooked. Notably, going forward, Google says that if you don't check in on your Google Drive files every now and then, it may delete them.
Google frames this change as a way to tidy up abandoned digital detritus, perhaps left over from long-forgotten accounts. Which, maybe, sure. Or, alternatively, it may be that a Google user simply stored some valuable files away for a while — like one might with physical documents in a fire-proof safe — and simply hasn't peeked at them in a few years.
