While this is exciting news for Twitter users, specific details about the announcement still remains unclear. According to Bloomberg, this was Twitter’s way of encouraging their users to add more media to each of their tweets. What was originally believed to be a move to get rid of the 140-character limit turned out to be something exclusively on the photos and links posted on Twitter. But as the day progressed, more details about Twitter’s new announcement got clearer. These have been reviewed and any potential concerns have now been addressed in version 1.0.42, currently rolling out to all users.Good news to all Twitter users! Early today, reports about Twitter ditching its 140-character limit have emerged online. We’ve seen some questions in our community around the amount of written data using the Spotify client on desktop.
Spotify has acknowledged the issue and has rolled out v1.0.4.2 of their app with a fix for this bug. The data writing task appears to occur even when one is not listening/streaming any music through Spotify and only has the desktop app opened.
“If for example, Castrol Oil lowered your engine’s life expectancy by five to 10 years, I imagine most users would want to know, and that fact *should* be reported on.” “This is a *major* bug that currently affects thousands of users,” Spotify user Paul Miller told Ars. Some users have even reported of the app writing over 1TB of data over 2-3 weeks. Leaving the app open for a day resulted in the app writing more than 700GB of data. Most users have complained about the Spotify app silently writing tens or hundreds of GB of data within an hour or two. On Macs with a traditional hard disk, such intense data writing task can greatly slow down system performance. Such intense data writing activity over a period of time can be really harmful to SSDs since they have a limited data writing cycle.
Spotify users over the last few months have been complaining about the app writing tens of GBs of data within a minute or two in the background in some cases. Using the Spotify music app on your Mac? The app is silently killing the SSD/HDD of your Mac.
