The Importance of Email Deliverability Protocols
Gmail and Yahoo now require the use of three main deliverability protocols for email marketing: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. All email servers, including corporate and marketing automation systems, need to have these protocols set up in their DNS to ensure proper delivery. This requirement applies to both B2C and B2B companies, as many use Google Workspace or Yahoo infrastructure. Setting up these protocols correctly is crucial for deliverability, but any mistakes in DNS configuration can result in emails going to a black hole.
Combatting Deepfake Issues with Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift's involvement in addressing AI-generated deepfakes of her has sparked significant action. Swift's fans have mobilized to hunt down offenders and push for legislation criminalizing deepfake creation and holding service providers liable. This response has prompted the US Senate to introduce a bill to tackle deepfake abuses. The focus is not only on sexual deepfakes but also political deepfakes impacting elections. Legislators are considering removing the protection social media networks currently enjoy under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
Capture Spatial Video with iPhone 15 Pro
The iPhone 15 Pro introduces the ability to shoot spatial video, capturing 3D-like renderings of the footage. The spatial data embedded in these videos can be extracted and used with open-source software for various purposes, such as rendering it in virtual environments or converting it into standard 3D video. This feature allows users to relive moments in a more immersive way and opens up possibilities for preserving memories. It's recommended to take advantage of this capability and record videos at the highest resolution possible.
