Re-Engineering YouTube for the Living Room: Bringing "Chrobalt" to RDK

Collabora and Google built the first RDK-based Chrobalt reference platform, re-architecting YouTube's Cobalt web engine on Chromium for smart TVs.

Collabora spent over a year with Google's YouTube Cobalt and Partner Engineering teams porting Chrobalt — Cobalt re-architected on top of Chromium, starting with 26.eap and now 27.lts tracking Chromium 138+ — to an RDK platform on Amlogic chipsets. The work included modernizing Starboard and Yocto toolchains, integrating Chromium unit tests and the Starboard NPLB conformance suite, and validating the platform against YouTube Test Suite (YTS) requirements for 4K/UHD playback, DRM, and low-latency input. Collabora also co-authored a Rust reference implementation of the Device Automation Bus (DAB) adapter and upstreamed fixes to the Cobalt/Starboard codebase. The platform was presented as a validated, production-ready path at the YouTube Device Partner Summit and BlinkOn-21.

ICE Wants to Know Everyone Who Bought a Certain Green Beanie From REI in the Last 2 Years

DHS subpoenaed REI for all Minneapolis-area customers who bought a specific green beanie since 2024, part of an investigation into 39 ICE protest defendants.

Court filings allege Homeland Security Investigations agents subpoenaed REI in March for transaction records of all persons in the greater Minneapolis–St. Paul area who purchased a specific dark green beanie since 2024. The subpoena was one of 92 sent in a federal case against 39 people, including journalists, who attended an ICE protest at a church. Companies responded differently: T-Mobile handed over six months of a defendant's call and text logs, Google refused a request for YouTube viewers, Reddit withdrew after a First Amendment objection, and Meta pushed back on at least one summons. The 1509 customs summonses require no judicial oversight, and the total number issued under the Trump administration is unknown.

Introducing agentic video understanding with Gemini

Google DeepMind launches agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, cutting video-analysis tokens up to 88%.

Google DeepMind launched agentic video understanding across Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The feature replaces static fixed-FPS ingestion with an agentic loop that dynamically searches frames, audio, and transcripts, cutting token consumption by up to 88%, reducing costs by up to 66%, and improving accuracy by up to 7%. Gemini 3.7 Flash with the feature sits at the accuracy-to-cost Pareto frontier on tested video benchmarks, and the capability will later power YouTube's Ask YouTube feature.
