CHILL OUT More Than 100 Million Households Are Sharing Passwords Netflix, the world’s largest streaming video company, warned a global crackdown on password sharing is coming. It seems like a serious warning this time, and it could mean an end to the rampant practice of borrowing a family member’s or friend’s — or loose acquaintance’s — login information.

Google Marks Earth Day With Stark Time-lapse Images Google is marking Earth Day 2022 with a selection of time-lapse satellite images on its homepage, showing the dramatic impacts of climate change on our planet. The scenes include melting glaciers in Greenland between 2000 and 2020, retreating snow cover on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania between 1986 and 2020, deforestation of the Harz forests in Elend, Germany, between 1995 and 2020 and coral bleaching at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, between March and May 2016. Each of the timelapses remained on Google’s homepage for several hours at a time, and clicking on one of the images will take the user through to the search results page for ‘climate change’, where they can learn more about protecting the planet.
