A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter, days after it was installed. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. It was first erected on Friday 28 July. “As you can see, they took down the X,” social media user @darren_stallcup wrote, sharing a video of the building which no longer features the sign. Elon Musk’s company also removed the Twitter wording and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week.

A Netflix fan has shared a couple of genius hacks to improve your viewing experience immeasurably. The tech whizz, who goes by the TikTok username Matty McTech, noted that many of us resort to subtitles when watching our favourite shows because of frustratingly shoddy sound quality. However, McTech suggested that the issue isn’t the fault of the programmes themselves, but simply an easily-resolved speaker issue. Addressing his 4.8 million followers, the self-styled “PC enthusiast” said: “Have you ever been watching Netflix and you’re struggling to hear quiet voices over the background music and sound effects?” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Well, he continued: “It might be because Netflix thinks you have surround sound.” Displaying his screen, he directed the audience to an “other” button in the bottom right-hand corner, which brought up an audio drop-down menu. “You can see the default audio is 'English 5.1',” he pointed out. “That means that Netflix thinks you have five speakers and one subwoofer (another type of loudspeaker). “If you don’t,” he continued: “You want to select 'English Original'.” He then clicked on the option, which instantly changed the sound dynamics on the episode of ‘You’ he was watching. “Now the background music is a little quieter and I can hear him talk,” he said. @setupspawn Thos will improve your Netflix Watching Experience! #netflix #tipsandtricks #netflixseries He then offered another handy tip – directing viewers to a website called Netflix-codes.com. Here, “You can find a bunch of secret Netflix category codes that they don’t tell you about,” he revealed. Explaining how it works, he said: “Let’s say for instance I want to watch some anime horror shows, all I have to do is take this code – 10695 – then I can go to the Netflix search and type in the code. “Easy.” McTech’s advice clearly struck a chord with streaming lovers, as his video racked up a whopping 12.6 million views in just over a week. However, his hacks weren’t the only things to draw the audience’s attention. Scores of commentators swiftly fixated on his pronunciation of “anime” and on an open tab in his web browser. “Sir, what the hell is ‘A nai me’?” one asked. “The way I FLEW to the comments for how he pronounced anime,” wrote another. “Did anyone [...] catch the second tab he had pulled up… or are we looking past that? Lol” asked a third. If you pause the clip when he’s going through his Netflix-codes.com cheat, you’ll see that the tab next to the website reads: “Best place to hide a body.” Obviously, no one actually believed McTech had inadvertently revealed himself to be a murderer. Instead, they praised him for nailing social media. “Between the pronunciation of anime, the second tab, and the helpful info: you sir, have mastered TikTok,” one admirer wrote. “Well played.” Have your say in our news democracy.

NASA is turning its attention from the stars to our screens, after it announced it will launch its own streaming service. The organisation announced that it is launching a beta for a streaming platform with the name NASA+ – and yes, the plus is shaped to look like a star. It looks like the streaming service will be ad-free and available to watch on the new beta site and the NASA app. Essentially, it’ll work a little like Netflix for space content, updating the current Nasa TV output which features livestreams of rocket launches and other events. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter There’s not much information out there about the new platform but it’ll come “later this year” and NASA has stated that it won’t require a paid subscription. NASA communications administrator Marc Etkind said in the press release that the organisation has designed the platform around “putting space on demand at your fingertips”. Introducing NASA's On-Demand Streaming Service, NASA+ (Official Trailer) www.youtube.com Judging by the look of the new promo clip, it’ll feature a lot of educational videos and public content as well as documentaries. “Modernizing our main websites from a technology standpoint and streamlining how the public engages with our content online are critical first steps in making our agency’s information more accessible, discoverable, and secure,” said NASA chief information officer Jeff Seaton. Meanwhile, it comes after Nasa celebrated the first birthday of the James Webb Space Telescope this summer by releasing extraordinary images of stars 'being born'. In the images, which almost look surreal, rainbow bursts with tiny twinkles can be seen. "The darkest areas are the densest, where thick dust cocoons still-forming protostars", the space giants say. These occur when a star first bursts through its natal envelope of cosmic dust, shooting out a pair of opposing jets into space like a newborn first stretching her arms out into the world." Nasa also recently stated that it discovered “diverse organic matter” on the surface of Mars, which could change our understanding of the red planet and the search for life in the universe.

Elon Musk has replaced Twitter’s bird logo with an “X”. The Tesla and SpaceX founder, who bought the social media platform in October, set the new logo live on Monday 24 July. It is the latest move in a series of major alterations to Twitter since Musk’s takeover. “Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds”, he tweeted, 24 hours before the change went live. “Larry the Bird” had been Twitter’s emblem since its creation in 2006. The “X” has long been an obsession of Musk’s and is his name for an “everything app” that he has pledged to launch at some point in the future.
