| Apple might finally allow third-party Apple Watch face support Posted: 15 Apr 2018 02:26 PM PDT  Ever since Apple first released the Apple Watch, it hasn't allowed third parties developers to create and release their own custom faces for the device. That might change, according to code in the latest developer's build, discovered by 9to5Mac. 9to5Mac uncovered code in watchOS 4.3.1, which includes some hints at what's to come in future updates, such as warnings for old apps, in addition to a log message that states "this is where the 3rd party face config bundle generation would happen." That's just a placeholder reference, but it appears that Apple could allow for developers to make their own watch faces at some point in the future. There's no indication of when or if Apple will allow it to happen, but it seems to be a step in the... |
| World’s third hyperloop test track is now under construction Posted: 15 Apr 2018 12:21 PM PDT  We haven't heard much from Hyperloop Transportation Technologies since last year, when the California-based company released a handful of images and a video to prove that it is building what it says is the world's first full-scale, passenger-ready hyperloop. Today, the company has broken its silence with the announcement that it's begun construction of a kilometer-long test track near its R&D center in France. HyperloopTT says its test track will be built in two phases: a closed 320-meter system that will be operational this year, and a 1 kilometer long full-scale system, elevated by pylons at a height of 5.8 meters, to be completed in 2019. A full-scale passenger capsule, currently under construction at the company's facility in Spain,... |
| Here are some awesome signs from the second March for Science Posted: 15 Apr 2018 11:00 AM PDT  For the second year in a row, people around the world joined together to voice their support for science. Although the second March for Science wasn't as well-attended as last year, according to CNN, over 200 demonstrations took place across the globe, from cities all over the US to Europe to India to Africa. The first March for Science, which happened last April, was organized as the scientific community grew increasingly concerned over the White House's anti-science stances — like imposing gag orders on government scientists, meeting with anti-vaxxers, and proposing deep budget cuts for scientific research. Over a year into Donald Trump's presidency, things haven't gotten better. Trump keeps denying climate change is real. Meanwhile,... |
| The first lawsuit has been filed under a new revenge porn law in New York City Posted: 15 Apr 2018 10:36 AM PDT  What appears to be New York City's first suit under a new revenge porn law was filed last week by a CUNY associate professor of public health against an ex-boyfriend and a group of anonymous individuals that allegedly used Tumblr to distribute pornographic images of her, reports Motherboard. While New York state law currently protects individuals when sexually explicit images are taken and shared without their knowledge, that does not apply when the images were willingly shared. The state senate passed a bill that would criminalize the latter as well in March, but it is still waiting on the state Assembly for consideration. New York City, however, passed its own measure in November, which went into effect in February. It makes the... |
| The Pope blessed an electric racecar Posted: 15 Apr 2018 10:00 AM PDT  Fully electric motorsport series Formula E raced in the streets of Rome this weekend. But that's now the second most unbelievable thing about the event: earlier this week, the Pope blessed one of the racecars. Formula E got its start in 2014 and is now cruising through the fourth full season of racing. Some longtime racing fans don't like how quiet the cars are or argue that they're slow. The series has long said this doesn't matter; its goal is to attract fans who are new to racing, which is its own kind of problem. I don't believe that an official blessing from the Holy See does anything to help clear those hurdles, though it probably can't hurt. At the very least, the small but vibrant community of Formula E fans that do exist now... |
| A new teaser for Solo: A Star Wars Story explores the early days of Han’s friendship with Chewie Posted: 15 Apr 2018 09:51 AM PDT  Lucasfilm has released a new teaser for its upcoming film Solo: A Star Wars Story, showing off a bit more of Han Solo's early days and his friendship with Chewbacca. We've already seen a couple of trailers for the film, which show off a bit of the criminal underworld of the universe, as well as the film's wild-west vibe. This new teaser is short, but it shows off a bit more of the film's titular hero, Han Solo. There's a bit more of the train heist that we've seen in the other trailers, and quite a bit more of Han and Chewie's interactions — including when Han first learns Chewie's name. This certainly sets up a film that helps establish the character's relationship in the new Star Wars canon. In the now-decanonized Expanded Universe,... |
| My Airplay speakers have become obsolete because their app hasn’t been updated in four years Posted: 15 Apr 2018 09:00 AM PDT  So, it turns out that I can never change my Wi-Fi network's name ever again, or my speakers will stop working. That may sound ridiculous, but let me walk you through the series of bad decisions and technological quirks that have brought me here. The speakers in question are the Nocs NS2 Air Monitors (specifically, the first generation version of the product, a fact whose import will soon become clear). The NS2 Air Monitors date back to the heyday of Apple's Airplay standard in 2013, back when companies not only included Airplay support in their speakers but built entire products around it (The Verge even included them in our Back to School Guide that year!). Eventually, Nocs released a second version of the NS2 that added Bluetooth,... |
| After Cambridge Analytica, this game about government surveillance feels quaint Posted: 15 Apr 2018 08:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. What if the government could dig up information on you, and use that information to discredit you? Not because you broke any laws, but because they just didn't like what you were saying. This is the central conceit of Orwell: Ignorance is Strength. It's a sequel to 2016's Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You, a game about how much you're willing to invade someone's privacy on behalf of the government in the name of security. The sequel diverges slightly, having you again invade someone's privacy on behalf of the government, but in... |
| It’s time to give Firefox a fresh chance Posted: 15 Apr 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Ever since it was first released almost a decade ago, Google's Chrome browser has been the most consistent piece of technology in my life. I've gone through a legion of phones, laptops, and headphones, I've jumped around between Android, iOS, Windows Phone, macOS, and Windows, but I've rarely had reason to doubt my browser choice. Things have changed in recent times, however, and those changes have been sufficient to make me reconsider. After so many years away, I'm returning to Firefox, in equal measure pushed by Chrome's downsides as I am pulled by Firefox's latest upgrades. If a friend were to ask me what the best web browser is, I'd answer "Chrome" in a heartbeat, so don't mistake this as a screed against Google's browser. I still... |
| Nintendo’s mobile Animal Crossing keeps getting better Posted: 15 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT  When Nintendo first released Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on mobile last November, I was into it. The game felt somewhat slight by Animal Crossing standards, however. It lacked the open-ended nature of past games, and it didn't really offer a whole lot to do. But there's something about the laid-back, leisurely nature of the series that makes it a great fit for smartphones. It's a mini escape that you can pull out whenever you need it. For me, these kinds of mobile games have historically turned into a short-lived habit, something I play daily for a few weeks before burning out. But that hasn't happened with Pocket Camp. Instead, the game has continued to grow and improve. Months later, I still can't put it down. The core of the game was... |
