YouTube Testing Allowing Premium Subscribers To Save Videos To Desktop

Posted in: Today's Chili

One of the perks of being a YouTube Premium subscriber is that you can save videos for offline watching. Unfortunately, this particular perk is only for the mobile app version of YouTube on iOS and Android, so for desktop users, you get pretty much all the other perks and features except for this.

However, that could change soon. It seems that YouTube is currently testing out allowing users to save videos for offline watching on desktop. This is actually pretty cool and the videos will stay downloaded and viewable offline as long as your computer has an active internet connection at least once every 30 days, so unless you’re planning to be offline for more than a month, this shouldn’t be an issue.

According to YouTube’s website, it seems that this is a feature that will only be available until the 19th of October. Like we said, this is a test so the test is expected to conclude a little under a month from now, but assuming it goes well, it should eventually be made available to all Premium subscribers.

Also, YouTube notes that the feature will only work in browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Opera. There’s no mention of Firefox or Safari, so if you’re using either of those two browsers, you’re out of luck for now.

Don’t Expect Fortnite Back On iOS For The Next 5 Years, Or At All

Posted in: Today's Chili

fortnite season 2Are you hoping that now that the case between Apple and Epic has kind of come to an end that you will be able to see Fortnite back on iOS? Think again. This is because according to a tweet by Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney, it seems that Apple isn’t interested in Epic’s requests for a reinstatement until the legal battle comes to an end and no more appeals can be made.

For those who missed the news, a couple of weeks ago, the courts issued a ruling on the Apple VS Epic lawsuit. It kind of ruled in both their favor, where Apple is now forced to allow developers to include links to outside payment platforms, and where Epic was forced to pay Apple $6 million in damages.

Epic has since appealed their loss, but in the meantime have also asked Apple to allow Fortnite back into the App Store. However, according to the reply from Apple’s legal team, it seems that Apple isn’t interested in Epic’s request for a reinstatement, claiming that the company had demonstrated “duplicitous conduct in the past”.

They did state that they will only consider requests for reinstatements once the court’s judgement has come final and is no longer appealable. Sweeney doesn’t seem pleased by this as he notes in his tweet that the appeal process could take as long as five years.

Whether or not it will drag out five years remains to be seen. It is possible that maybe Apple and Epic could come to some kind of settlement and agreement before then, but for now, iOS gamers should probably not hold their breaths for Fortnite’s return anytime soon.
