What caused the recent Spotify outage and how did listeners react?
Tap, tap. Is this thing on? Can you hear me? Okay, just checking because yesterday was a different story. Spotify suffered a widespread outage from about 6.20 a.m. Eastern to nearly noon, frustrating all of us who wanted to listen to podcasts or our day list in the morning. I'll say it, Toby. I was pretty much useless without my obsessed Pink Pilates princess early morning jams.
It was very funny to see all the Spotify listeners come over to YouTube. It was like two different MBD tribes making contact for the first time. And it was mostly peaceful. Some said, hey, it's kind of nice over here. I think I'll stay. So that was a nice byproduct of the outage. It's also two different commenting cultures I've noticed. There's this core group of YouTube listeners who... Just want to be the first one to post a comment in the morning. So it's always just first, second, third. Ah, nice try. And then over on Spotify, there's this core group of listeners who just comment on audio quality a lot, which makes sense because it's an audio platform. Apple Podcasts, no idea what's going on over there because there's no comment section at all. But we love you all equally.
Thank you for listening no matter what platform you do it on. Sorry again for the outage. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, I was playing kickball over the weekend, classic rec league tilt, and it hit me just how important it is to have that one player who can do it all.
The mythical utility player they can pitch, catch, sprint to first without pulling a hammy.
It used to be me, but now the hamstrings are getting a little dicey. Anyway, when it comes to breakfast, you want to plan it out on your team. And it's not just showing up for one thing. It's making your coffee better, your cereal smoother, your smoothie creamier. Whatever you throw at it, it'll toss it right back just that much better.
The Barista Lovers Version 2 is especially versatile, incredibly velvety, frost like a dream, blends like it's made for cafe level lattes because it was.
And Barista Lovers backs it up with the numbers.
Just three grams of sugar, an excellent source of calcium, plus vitamins A and D. And it's dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, clean, and dependable. No frills, just performance. That's what you want in a teammate or in your fridge. Get your hands on the oat milk that has it all. Visit planetoat.com for more.
In the extended poker game that is this global trade war, another chip has been played, and it literally involves chips. Earlier this week, Nvidia disclosed in a filing that the Trump administration's clampdown on sales of advanced chips to China will impact earnings to the tune of $5.5 billion. That number comes from the fact that its H20 chip inventory now falls under new restrictions. The H20 is a watered-down version of Nvidia's higher-powered H20, H100 and H200 chips, one that was created specifically for markets like China, where full power chips are restricted. Earlier this month, the US government paused its restrictions on the sale of H20, but when you don't like your hand in poker, you have to exert pressure in other ways.
I'm also realizing, Neil, that this poker metaphor is getting mighty confusing with all the chips flying around, But we persevere, and so will Nvidia, who had a rotten day in the stock market, falling just over 7% and bringing the entire chip sector down with it.
