Bourne Universe-based 'Treadstone' series to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in January 2020

Amazon just released a new teaser video for the action-thriller Treadstone, which will premiere on its Prime Video service in January 2020. The series is set in the "Bourne" universe, and it's produced by the team behind the famous action movie franchise. Treadstone focuses on the origin story and present-day activities of Operation Treadstone. Those familiar with the books and movies will know what the name stands for. It refers to the covert CIA Black Ops program that used behaviour modification to turn recruits into these superhuman assassins of sorts. The series will follow these sleeper agents around the world as someone wakes them up to continue with their deadly mission.

YouTube on mobile to integrate with Android 10's dark theme soon

YouTube already has a dark mode that you can toggle within the mobile app. But soon it'll integrate with the system-wide dark theme Android 10 is offering. Some users see the change in their devices already, but it hasn't come to all users yet. YouTube is rolling it out the update on the server-side, so you can't force the update with an APK.

The change renames the "Dark theme" option in the settings to "Appearances." Within that option, you now get to choose "Use device theme," "Light theme," and "Dark theme." If you opt for the device theme option, YouTube's look will match what system-wide option you've set for your device.
