This is the latest cumulative updates post; we’ve started two years ago by adding informations about updates in this blog every 2 months; then, at the start of this year, we have changed and adjusted the publish time with a post in every every 3 months. In these two years we mantained all our promises and expectations and never missed an update post to inform our users about news and improvements on MYETV. We have made great strides and, since we realized we were being watched by the other giants, we’ve improved the whole platform- [Platform: the set of the main domain and all the subdomain of a particular website; also the computer architecture and equipment using a particular operating system] - day by day, devoting time, space and part of our life. Sometimes we have written and anticipated too much; this will never happen again. At the end of these updates we will no longer need to create new ones, but the whole platform will be continuously updated and the major features will be presented as usual in this blog.
In these 3 months we will close the updates chapter with surprises and holidays … We are waiting for Halloween 2019 and Christmas 2019 with important features that we will update every day keeping you informed on the path of the work. Let’s start building this last updates chapter:
- 1st SURPRISE: The time has come to play with time… From the 18 October 2019 and all the whole week to follow we are focused to add two new features: the “program- [Program/Software: the instructions that control what a computer does; computer programs] - content- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - for the future” and the “change privacy settings in the future”; the first one will be available for everyone at the moment of the publish of the content while the second one will be available as “MYAPP- [MYAPPS: applications that the owners of the networks can build within them to add additional functionality to the content or to the entire network] - ” in the edit content section.

The nature of the website is to be must open possible to everyone. Before this feature, we cannot send any direct messages to visitors or unregistered users; now we can send direct real-time notification messages also to unregistered users when they are navigating inside the platform. This will work also for instantly blocking particular malicious requests in case of any emergency. This is done by creating a “fingerprint” of the users and store them in a secure way in the client side and in the server side to be reachable in the near future or in the instant. We will explain better this feature in the next days in a separated blog post.
- ENCRYPTION- [Encryption: to change electronic information or signals into a secret code (= system of letters, numbers, or symbols) that people cannot understand or use on normal equipment] - TRANSPARENCY: added a new key, in the edit profile section of the personal account- [Account: an Account contains the personal information that is assigned to those who register and access with email and password] - , called “Peer- [P2P Peer: is a term used to refer to a user who has already been assigned a P2P key inside the peer-to-peer network] - -toPeer Communications Key”; this key is used to identify the user’s device; the key is personal, unique and is visible only to the logged user. The key is used n the platform to connect a device to another device.
- INSIGHTS (cronjobs): from the 22/12/2019 we’ve started some new automatic job (or cronjob) inside the database, at every 00:00GMT of every day the artificial intelligence will count and sanitize all the insights data to make them certified in a separate table and make them available to the public; this process will reset all the “Most Watched” features every day and it will improve all the performance of the entire platform by reading only the stored certified data, first.
