Hello everyone, these past few days in the software community can be described as an earthquake. Let's all enjoy some melon together.
vposy stops updating#
When it comes to the Adobe suite, many people immediately think of vposy in China and tnt overseas as the sources.
Vposy is the only "special edition" publisher in China that has been tacitly approved by Adobe and has not received any lawyer's letters or warnings. However, they recently announced that they will stop updating due to job transfers and lack of time to maintain it.
Many netizens don't believe this reason, but the result is undeniable. Fortunately, many people have already saved their Adobe suite, and those who haven't don't need to worry because software websites will definitely continue to obtain updates from tnt.
Restrictions on third-party apps on Xiaomi TVs#
Recently, netizens discovered that Xiaomi TVs and Xiaomi TV boxes cannot install third-party apps anymore. It is said to be in response to national policies that prohibit the installation of non-compliant apps, such as popular ones like Dianshi Jia, Yunhai TV, and Miaokan TV.
Even installing software via USB is not allowed. The most extreme restriction is that no software can be installed via USB. Some netizens have tested apps like CCTV Sports, CCTV Finance, Xunlei, and third-party Bilibili, but none of them work. You can only install apps available in their app store, and all other methods are prohibited. Everything is banned.
I don't know if users of other TV brands have encountered this situation. Some netizens commented that installation can be done in offline mode. I don't know if it still works.
To be honest, there is indeed such a policy, but it's unclear whether third-party apps like Alibaba's cloud storage app are considered non-compliant. Even if they are, you can still use the official Alibaba Cloud Drive TV version by paying a membership fee to watch whatever you want. If all else fails, there are always Apple and Google boxes as alternatives.
By the way, I also remembered that a while ago, a large number of chatbot apps were removed from the iOS App Store, and there was news that unregistered apps would be prohibited from engaging in internet information services. It can be foreseen that this is a move towards cleaning up the internet, and it's a good thing that we will have access to safer and more legitimate apps in the future.
Ding Xiaotiao stops updating#
This app, which allows users to skip splash screen ads, was very popular. However, it was sued by a great company and will be closing its official website and download channels. The servers will also be automatically destroyed after the expiration date. However, they cannot control those who have already installed the app, so if you have it installed, don't uninstall it. If you haven't installed it, there are still many similar apps to choose from. All we can say is to use and cherish it.
Sogou Input Method has another vulnerability#
It has already been fixed today. This kind of thing is no longer surprising, and all we can say is that for apps that involve privacy, if you can avoid giving permissions, then don't give them. Alternatively, you can use some free and open-source alternatives.
Z-Library initiates a petition#
I have to say, they haven't given up yet. They feel somewhat wronged and are using this method. If you're interested, you can participate.
