YouTube Music could soon let you comment on playlists, here's what we know (APK teardown)
TL;DR YouTube is working on bringing comments to YouTube Music playlists.
YouTube Music already allows comments on audio, video, and podcast content.
If it succeeds, YouTube might also bring comments to video playlists on the main app.
Two years ago, Google rolled out YouTube's most hotly debated feature to YouTube Music. The comments section, which is both a treasure chest of insights and a bottomless pit of bullying remarks, is currently available for audio, videos, and podcasts in the YouTube Music app. And now, the team may be looking to expand comments to playlists in YouTube Music.
We recently discovered signs indicating that YouTube might be working on a feature that will allow users to comment specifically on public playlists in YouTube Music. We discovered the following hints in the code of the YouTube Music app, which also suggest how it might work.
Code Copy Text Comments off Comments disabled for everyone Comments on Anyone can comment Comments paused No new comments
The current references found in the app highlight the utility for creators, artists, publishers, or users who create playlists. The code likely refers to the part where you create a new playlist and primarily indicates that you will be able to enable or disable comments. Certain strings also highlight the possibility of pausing comments while allowing previous ones to be still visible to users.
Options while creating a new playlist in YouTube Music
Menu to edit existing playlist in YouTube Music
Button layout at the top of YouTube Music playlists
It's highly likely that the option to enable or disable comments could appear on the menu for creating or editing playlists. Meanwhile, comments themselves could show up at the top of the playlist, in the current row of buttons.

Comments on YouTube Music playlists has been a requested feature for quite some time, and it's interesting to see YouTube experiment with it. Although we have spotted the functionality in the YouTube Music app for Android, comments might be expanded to video playlists on the main YouTube app, which doesn't have comments on playlists either. However, when that happens, it might conflict with another YouTube test where it has been hiding the comment section for some users and replacing it with a button.
⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.

Nasdaq slides again as AI jitters rattle tech investors
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Tech stocks are leading declines on Wall Street, with worries about AI spurring debates about its future. The Nasdaq Composite is down around 2.4% over the last two days, the worst two-day fall since April. The semiconductor index was down 1.5%, while the information technology sector was the second biggest decliner in the S&P 500, dropping 1.1% on Wednesday. Market participants attributed the selloff to a range of factors including a technical pullback after driving much of the stock market's recovery in the weeks after April 2nd "Liberation Day." Analysts also cited deepening concerns of government interference with companies, as the Trump administration looked into taking equity stakes in chip companies such as Intel in exchange for grants under the CHIPS Act. COMMENTS: ART HOGAN, MARKET STRATEGIST, B. RILEY WEALTH MANAGEMENT, BOSTON: "Technology in general is up 40% from its April lows, and the group clearly got ahead of itself. Also, if there's anything to the market consensus that we'll see a Fed rate cut, then there will be room for other things to work as well – and there are 493 other stocks in the S&P 500 that are lagging the Mag 7 right now. So I think there's a bit of a rotation." "I don't know how long it will last, but if it does keep going, well, August and September (are) the weak period seasonally in which it could do so. Also, there are some people who are beginning to question the pace at which we need to be chasing AI capital spending. If you put all this together: when technology stocks take a breather, this is what it looks like. Nvidia and other blue chips in the group are seeing relatively steady drawdowns, but things on the speculative edge are clearly seeing more selling pressure. Palantir has gone from trading at 200 times sales to 150 times its sales, for instance." MICHAEL ASHLEY SCHULMAN, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, RUNNING POINT, EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA: "Tuesday' s U.S. technology stock swoon and its continuation today looks like multiple compression meeting a little margin math, but the timing makes it hard to ignore the new elephant in the server room. Names that had been sprinting on AI dreams pulled back hard, with Nvidia, AMD, and Palantir Technologies among the drags." "DeepSeek's update landed on Tuesday represents a serious cocktail of capability and availability and traders well remember the original harsh tech-market pullback DeepSeek caused when it was first broadly recognized in January of this year." BRIAN JACOBSEN, CHIEF ECONOMIST, ANNEX WEALTH MANAGEMENT, BROOKFIELD, WISCONSIN: "When you go from rally to rout, it shows how vulnerable the names were to even a scent of bad news. It could have been (Sam)Altman's valuation warning and then Meta restructuring its AI division threw fuel on the fire." PHIL BLANCATO, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, LADENBURG THALMANN ASSET MANAGEMENT, NEW YORK: "It's much more about profit-taking and temporary rebalancing here. If you get a Federal Reserve cut or a mention of it on Friday, this will reverse pretty quickly, but this is a lot to do with names pushed up to really lofty levels and profit taking across the board." SETH HICKLE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, MINDSET WEALTH MANAGEMENT, INDIANAPOLIS: "I think we are starting to see a little bit of rotation. It's always healthy to see a little bit of a pullback to that way, the markets can kind of get re-oriented." "To me, tech was overbought. Maybe it was justified, but it could have been kind of a buy on the rumor, sell it on the news type of thing where we had tech runup into earnings. We had really good earnings, and now it's kind of natural for the market just to sell some of that good news." "I wouldn't be surprised if we see a little bit of rotation into some smaller cap or into healthcare names, or consumer staples. And to me, that's kind of a healthy rotation. But honestly, I don't believe it will be a longer-term trend. It'll probably be a shorter-term trend. I think we'll see money flow back into tech in the next couple months." STEVE SOSNICK, CHIEF STRATEGIST, INTERACTIVE BROKERS, CONNECTICUT "The tech-led selloff that we saw yesterday resumed this morning. That said, dip buyers stepped in around 11am EDT and we've now recovered about half our losses. It's somewhat inevitable to expect them to arrive promptly, though it did take a bit longer than usual." "I believe that some of the early declines are related to profit-taking and risk squaring ahead of (Fed Chair Jerome)Powell's speech on Friday. That is merely rotation and relatively benign, though it gets magnified because of megacap tech stocks' heavy weighting in key indices. But some of the ferocity of the early drop was related to the President's calls for Lisa Cook's resignation." "Note that futures broke through their pre-market lows shortly after he posted on Truth Social. Markets were not perturbed that there are inquiries into the propriety of her personal mortgage applications. She gets a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, like any other person. But when the President weighed in even before the process began, then it raised the specter of politicization. That put markets on the wrong foot early, and negative momentum ruled again – at least for a couple of hours." ADAM SARHAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, 50 PARK INVESTMENTS, NEW YORK: "To see a little pullback here after a big move up is perfectly normal and healthy. If the selling gets worse then you'll see a rotation out of tech and into undervalued areas of the market like biotech stocks or healthcare stocks or small cap stocks because those areas have not participated this year."

Tracce Ellis Ross jokingly calls out Barack Obama for 'failing her as a friend'
Durng her latest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Tracee Ellis Ross humorously scolded Barack Obama for not warning her about a doomed relationship. Tracee Ellis Ross didn't let a breakup slide—she called out her good friend, Barack Obama In a delightfully candid moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 14, 2025, Tracee Ellis Ross recounted a bite of self-awareness served with equal parts humor and friendship. Following a recent breakup, the actress—known for her introspective wit—ran into none other than former President Barack Obama. His remark? 'I could have told you that.' Ross's response? Quick and unapologetic: 'Well, you failed as a friend! Like, it was your job to say that before.' Friendship meets accountability Ross's playful rebuke reveals how she values honesty—even from friends as esteemed as the Obamas. She explained that she appreciates friends who 'nip it in the bud' when they see red flags in her relationships. That kind of truth-telling, she implies, is a real measure of friendship. Still their go-to for love advice? Rather than holding a grudge, Ross admitted that she still turns to Barack Obama for dating insight. In fact, she's even more aware now of one unclaimed advantage: she's never asked Michelle Obama to play matchmaker—something she laughs might be 'dumb,' but is now considering. Keeping It respectful—even in friendship Despite their closeness, Ross shared that she's maintained a kind of formal deference toward Michelle Obama—you know, 'Mrs. Obama.' This is a habit from how she was raised, and she's stuck with it, even after Michelle suggested she drop the formality. Dating dynamics and boundaries Ross's reflections add even more texture when seen alongside her past comments on love. On Michelle Obama's podcast IMO, Ross revealed her attraction to younger men—whom she finds more emotionally open. She explained that many men her age, raised in traditional structures, bring outdated ideas and dynamics into relationships that she's simply not interested in. A reality check—and an awesome bad date story As if to underscore the messiness of modern dating, Ross also shared a comically disastrous recent date: the guy plopped his phone up against his drink and spent the date watching a basketball game. Ross asked him, 'Who's playing?' He lifted a finger, as if to say, 'Don't let me miss it.' She quietly texted friends: 'This did not go well.' Yet, the guy still texts her—proof that not all bad dates are final. Solve the daily Crossword

TX RX Systems Launches New 'Deepwave' Antenna Line to Fill Industry Gap
TX RX Systems Deepwave Antennas BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TX RX Systems, a leader in RF conditioning and communications technology for nearly five decades, has announced the launch of its new Deepwave antenna series. This is a comprehensive product line designed to serve as the next-generation solution for organizations seeking high-performance VHF and UHF omnidirectional antennas similar to those found in now-unavailable legacy lines. Engineered and manufactured on-site in the United States, Deepwave antennas deliver industry-proven performance at a significantly lower cost than comparable offerings currently available in the market. Designed for both mission-critical and commercial applications, the line is suitable for integrators, public safety agencies, utilities, transportation providers, manufacturing facilities, government entities, and any organization requiring durable, broadband RF coverage. The new Deepwave series features wideband coverage across VHF and UHF ranges, allowing flexible deployment across multiple systems and jurisdictions. Models are available with nominal gains ranging from 3 dBd to 9 dBd, providing consistent coverage and minimal distortion throughout the entire operating band. Low VSWR, typically 1.5:1 or less across the specified frequency range, ensures efficient power transfer and reduced reflected power. Each antenna is designed to handle high transmit power levels, making them ideal for both high-site and dense urban installations. Durability is a core design priority for the Deepwave line. Heavy-duty fiberglass radomes and stainless steel hardware protect against extreme weather conditions including high winds, ice loading, and salt fog exposure. All models are engineered to meet or exceed ANSI/TIA-222 standards for structural integrity, ensuring reliable operation even in the harshest environments. 'With the discontinuation of several long-standing antenna product lines in the market, organizations are actively seeking drop-in replacements that match or exceed the performance of their existing infrastructure,' said Jay Slomba, Director of Business Operations at TX RX Systems. 'Deepwave antennas are engineered to deliver uncompromising quality at a price point well below what customers are used to paying.' The Deepwave series is available now through the TX RX Systems website. Additional models will be released in the coming months to expand the range and cover even more application requirements.
