Neil Young reluctantly has his catalogue on Spotify, but now the artist wants it pulled again. In a since-deleted letter to his management team and record label, he demands they remove his music from the streaming service because "Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines - potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."

He targets Spotify because of its exclusive deal with podcaster Joe Rogan, who has helped fuel this anti-vaccine movement. "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he continued. "They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both."

Microsoft Surface Duo finally gets Android 11 update

Source: Microsoft

It's been a long wait, but Microsoft is finally rolling out the Android 11 update to unlocked Surface Duos in North America and Europe. Microsoft initially promised the update was coming before the end of 2021. With this update's arrival, we've set our sights on watching out for Android 12, which isn't even available on the Surface Duo 2

Windows Central reports that Microsoft is planning to skip Android 12. Instead, it'll jump right into Android 12L, which is built to improve the operating system on larger screens. That would be a more logical option. Hopefully, that arrives quicker than the last update.
