NewsBytes Briefing: YouTube Shorts rolls out globally

Silicon Valley's foundation is built on compelling ideas. But ideas can be stolen, which happens with clockwork precision in the world of social media platforms. For instance, YouTube's TikTok clone has been gradually phased out from testing to global roll-out now. In fact, YouTube Shorts commands a daily view count of 6.5 billion already. Not surprising since YouTube has pledged $100 million for creators.

Instagram feature update has pronoun enthusiasts spoiled for choice

Meanwhile, Instagram has made an even shorter addition to its list of feature updates.

The last time we checked, one needed a power-hungry desktop PC to handle ray tracing.

Google Pay begins offering remittances from US to India, Singapore

Separately, Google Pay is serious about catching up with the likes of PayPal, Samsung Pay, and AliPay, which have long offered international remittances. Google's payments app has begun a pilot program allowing US citizens to send money to India and Singapore. That's a smart choice of regions, since workers from India and Singapore tend to send money back to their families.

Growing up, I had a penchant for disassembling appliances; most of which couldn’t be reassembled successfully. My parents didn’t approve. Now, I leverage my lifelong pursuit of dissecting gadgets to write about tech. My parents still don’t approve.
