Classic film fans won the streaming wars

The number of classic movies on streaming services has risen considerably in the last year — meaning it’s now easier than it used to be to become a cinephile in the streaming age. But which service has the highest concentration of classic films? Two years ago, I wrote an article about how hard it was to be a cinephile in the age of Netflix. I wanted to see how many classic films were actually available on streaming services, without having to pay anything extra. At the time, there wasn’t much — only 24 films from the AFI’s Top 100 were…

You have Microsoft’s blessing to root the Surface Duo

microsoft surface duo 9

Microsoft has confirmed that the Surface Duo has an unlockable bootloader.
This means that you can root it, mod it, and flash custom ROMs on it.

There’s some good news for those buying the $1,400 Microsoft Surface Duo. In addition to the fact that the dual-screen Android device will receive three years of OS updates, Microsoft has also confirmed (h/t XDA Developers) that it’ll have an unlockable bootloader.

This means that you will be able to gain root access to the device, flash custom ROMs on it, mod it, play around with hidden features, and more. Microsoft, however, has not confirmed if unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty or not.

We’ll also have to wait and watch what the modding community comes up with for the Surface Duo. It’s an expensive device to buy and you wouldn’t want to tinker around with rooting unless it’s worth it. Unlocking the bootloader of a phone is a bit of a gamble. If done incorrectly, you could end up with a bricked phone, or a device stuck on bootloop.

Nevertheless, it’s good to see Microsoft giving that option to users. Smartphone manufacturers are increasingly tightening security on their devices, and finding phones that you can root or modify to your heart’s content is becoming less common by the day. So who’s thinking of installing Windows 10 on the Surface Duo?

Instagram Retained Deleted Photos and Messages on Its Servers for Over a Year

Instagram has awarded a security researcher a $6,000 bug bounty payout after he found photos and private direct messages on the platform's servers that he had deleted more than a year ago (via TechCrunch).

Saugat Pokharel discovered that his content hadn't been removed in October after downloading a copy of his data from the photo-sharing app. Instagram introduced the download option two years ago to comply with the European Union's data privacy GDPR regulations.

Instagram said the reason Pokharel's information had never been entirely removed from its servers was down to a bug that it's now fixed.

"The researcher reported an issue where someone's deleted Instagram images and messages would be included in a copy of their information if they used our Download Your Information tool on Instagram," a spokesperson for Instagram told TechCrunch. "We've fixed the issue and have seen no evidence of abuse. We thank the researcher for reporting this issue to us."

The issue is almost identical to one that Twitter fixed last year, in which a security researcher discovered years-old messages in a file from an archive of data from an account that was no longer active.

Although the retrieval of deleted data was bug-related in both cases, it's worth remembering that when you opt to delete content from social media accounts, it can still hang around on company servers for some time.

Twitter says that accounts that are deactivated and deleted are removed along with all of their data after 30 days, while Instagram says it takes about 90 days for deleted data to be fully removed from its systems.
