Link Tank: Netflix to Crack Down on Password Sharing
Netflix and password sharing, David Bowie's Diamond Dogs, House of the Dragon, and more in today's Link Tank!
Netflix is looking to crack down on password sharing with a new feature that will require you to re-verify your account access.
“The days of hanging onto your ex’s Netflix password long after you have broken up may soon be over. According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is trying to curb the long-held tradition of password sharing with a new feature that will catch people in the act.”
David Bowie’s 1974 album Diamond Dogs was reportedly supposed to be a full-fledge musical of George Orwell’s 1984.
“The track list for David Bowie’s 1974 album Diamond Dogs offers a couple obvious clues about one source of inspiration: song titles include both ‘1984’ and ‘Big Brother.’ But Bowie didn’t just want to use themes from George Orwell’s 1984 on the record. As Open Culture reports, he initially hoped to turn the 1949 dystopian classic into a full-fledged musical of its own.”
One of House of the Dragon‘s lead actresses shares that the Game of Thrones spinoff won’t have “egregious” violence towards women.
“Olivia Cooke will be playing Alicent Hightower in the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series House of the Dragon, and she has shared that this upcoming series won’t have the same graphic violence towards women for no reason that was part of the previous series.”

Astronomers may have discovered an earth-like exoplanet that had generated a second atmosphere—something scientists previously thought to be impossible.
“Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the astronomers behind the discovery spotted the Earth-sized, rocky exoplanet GJ 1132 b and found compelling evidence that the exoplanet had an atmosphere — a necessity for life to thrive — but there was something strange about it. Essentially, GJ 1132 b’s atmosphere as we see it now was not the planet’s original.”
The creator of WandaVision explains why White Vision and Wanda Maximoff did not care for each other in the series finale.
“Were you wondering why, after the magically created Vision (Paul Bettany) imparted his memories into his doppelganger, the White Vision didn’t run into the arms of the Scarlet Witch? Or why Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) didn’t immediately start hunting for her husband 2.0 in the WandaVision finale?”
