Pinterest to host a three-day, in-app live-stream test starting May 24

Pinterest

It might be a case of better late than never. Pinterest will host a three-day live-stream event on its app to showcase some of its most popular content creators. There will be 21 workshops covering topics like how to repurpose leggings and making the perfect guacamole. You can only watch the workshops on the Pinterest app. But you can preview each session on Pinterest's site.

Pinterest will allow comments while watching and a chance to chat with the host of the session. There will be moderators to keep things civil. The shopping component of the site won't be available here. The company hasn't mentioned how live-streaming will factor into its plans.

Apple Music for Android APK teardown shows details on possible lossless offering

The Apple Music app on Android seems to have revealed new details on the company's rumoured lossless offering. 9to5Google found code snippets referring to two different tires of high-fidelity audio—"Lossless" and "High-res Lossless." The former will supposedly have songs encoded in Apple's ALAC codec up to 48kHz, while the latter improves the quality up to 192kHz.

Dolby Atmos or Dolby Audio wasn't spotted in the code for Apple Music 3.6, but it was referenced by the company in iOS 14.6 beta 1 before it was removed from beta 2.
