Netflix introduces 2 new features to its TV app

It looks like Netflix has finally listened to its subscribers and introduced 2 helpful features on its TV app. One of the more annoying things about subtitles on the Netflix TV app was that it was too large and sometimes, difficult to read. But worry no longer as the streaming giant has now issued an update to the app which gives users a bit more control over how they view subtitles and closed captions.

Netflix has taken a bit of criticism from its subscriber base and the media because of its rather illogical password-sharing limitations that were recently introduced in countries like the US, Canada and more. And while more user-friendly features are welcomed, the company has a long way to go to win back support. 

So, what can users expect with these updates?

Netflix's new customizable subtitles and closed caption features

Change text size and font:

Users can now change the size of the subtitles on the Netflix Tv app. You have three options to choose from, namely small, medium and large. Ideally, the small size is good enough for most people, but we’d suggest first-time users stick with the medium size. You can also change the font on the screen, giving users more control over their experience with the TV app.

Change subtitle background:

Viewing subtitles on various shows and movies can sometimes be a chore because of the dynamic nature of what’s being shown on screen. So, in order to make reading subtitles a little easier, you can now change the background on the subtitles. There are another 3 options here, namely, Light (black text on a white background), Drop Shadow (white text on a black background), and Contrast (yellow text on a black background).

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
