| HTC website leaks new flagship phone Posted: 21 May 2018 06:39 PM PDT  A testing subdomain on HTC's website, spotted by Roland Quandt, has confirmed the already-leaked specs and design of HTC's next flagship phone, while also giving us an indication of its price. Priced at 5,888 yuan in China (roughly $920) with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the U12 Plus appears poised to compete against the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S9, Apple's iPhone X, and Huawei's P20 Pro. Not a budget model, in other words. Aside from the obvious absence of a notch, HTC is also deviating from the hot trends of 2018 by not having an OLED screen: the display listed on the spec sheet is a 6-inch WQHD+ (1440 x 2880) Super LCD6. The U12 Plus is also set to have Boomsound speakers, IP68-rated water and... |
| Trump reportedly ignores ‘inconvenient’ security rules to keep tweeting on his iPhone Posted: 21 May 2018 06:05 PM PDT  President Trump has been ignoring White House protocols meant to keep his phones secure, according to a report this evening in Politico. The story says that Trump carries at least two iPhones, one for calls and one for browsing Twitter and reading news. These are supposed to have features like the camera disabled and be inspected on a regular basis; but according the report, that hasn't been the case. The phone used for calls reportedly still has its camera and microphone installed, which are obvious hacking targets that could reveal a great deal of intelligence to adversaries. In the past, President Obama made it sound as though his phones had both the camera and microphone taken out to remove this risk. Trump's phones do, at least,... |
| Comcast’s mesh Wi-Fi extender pods are now available Posted: 21 May 2018 06:00 PM PDT  Comcast has launched new Xfinity xFi Pods, which are mesh Wi-Fi extenders meant to combat dead zones in homes. We wrote about the pods last year, but their launch was delayed. They are small pods that can be plugged into an outlet and paired with the xFi Wireless Gateway or the xFi Advanced Gateway. The xFi Pods are supposed to keep checking Wi-Fi connections in the house and monitor their own performance. To set up the xFi Pods, all you need to do is download the xFi mobile app, which is available for iOS and Android, and the app will give you instructions on how to pair the Pods with the compatible router. Then you can continue to monitor the status of all your Wi-Fi devices through the app. The xFi... |
| The lava striking the sea is gorgeous — and can be deadly Posted: 21 May 2018 05:15 PM PDT  Lava spilling off the southeastern edge of the island of Hawaii is producing a noxious haze where it hits the seawater. Made out of hydrochloric acid, steam, and shards of volcanic glass, the gas is hazardous to anyone who breathes it. But while the mixture is dangerous, it shouldn't put many people in danger. The noxious fumes are called "laze," which volcano experts say is way less peaceful than it sounds. The stuff forms when lava hits the cool ocean, almost like water on sauna rocks — if the steam that sizzled off had acid and glass in it. The more lava, the more laze. But this isn't the first time we've seen laze floating over a spot on Hawaii's coast, according to Robin Andrews for IFL Science. So scientists have had time to study... |
| R. Kelly is still doing just fine on Spotify Posted: 21 May 2018 04:25 PM PDT  Despite a new Spotify policy on hateful content or conduct that removed R. Kelly's music from the service's official playlists, the musician's streaming numbers have been unaffected, according to The Associated Press. Before the policy change on May 10th, his music received an average of 6,584,000 streams per week on Spotify; in the week after the announcement it received 6,676,000 streams. Kelly's music was originally blacklisted from the curated playlists created by Spotify — but not from the service itself — because of the numerous allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation leveled against him over the years. A 2017 BuzzFeed article reported on an abusive sex cult allegedly created by Kelly, where women said he physically punished... |
| Google and Microsoft disclose new CPU flaw, and the fix can slow machines down Posted: 21 May 2018 02:28 PM PDT  Microsoft and Google are jointly disclosing a new CPU security vulnerability that's similar to the Meltdown and Spectre flaws that were revealed earlier this year. Labelled Speculative Store Bypass (variant 4), the latest vulnerability is a similar exploit to Spectre and exploits speculative execution that modern CPUs use. Browsers like Safari, Edge, and Chrome were all patched for Meltdown earlier this year, and Intel says "these mitigations are also applicable to variant 4 and available for consumers to use today." However, unlike Meltdown (and more similar to Spectre) this new vulnerability will also include firmware updates for CPUs that could affect performance. Intel has already delivered microcode updates for Speculative Store... |
| Google Photos now has a Favorites feature Posted: 21 May 2018 01:50 PM PDT  I know a lot of people love Google Photos, but sometimes you realize that the service is missing some elementary stuff. For example, there hasn't been a Favorites feature until now. Google has announced that, over the next week, it's rolling out that functionality. You'll be able to tap a star at the upper right of any photo in your library, and it'll automatically show up in Favorites. A Favorites album is created as soon as you begin starring images. And that's pretty much it! Nothing fancy. If you don't see the option to star a photo, you don't have Favorites just yet. The wait shouldn't be more than a few days, though.

| Twitter for Android is getting its own emoji because of fragmentation Posted: 21 May 2018 01:49 PM PDT  How bad is the situation with Android emoji, despite Google's attempts at an overhaul? So bad, in fact, that Twitter is updating its Android app with custom emoji because most Android phones are never on the same (or latest) software release, so users often aren't seeing the same icons. The problem gets even worse when iOS users publish tweets with emoji that Android users don't have (resulting in those boxes seen in the "before and after" shot). It's actually pretty sad and even more embarrassing that Twitter had to step in and address the issue. Regardless of what emoji your phone comes with, from Android KitKat, Nougat, or even Lollipop, Twitter will override and provide you with its own set of "Twemoji" starting today, according to... |
| Tesla needs to sell more expensive Model 3s so the company doesn’t ‘die,’ Musk says Posted: 21 May 2018 12:09 PM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the final details of the dual-motor, all-wheel drive version of the Model 3 over the weekend, including a top-of-the-line variant that is more expensive than a base-level Model S or X. While we've known for a long time that these were coming, this is the most clarity Tesla's offered yet about specs, pricing, and options. Taken one way, it's a sign Tesla is working through the early production struggles of the Model 3 and is ready to start offering more diverse options, much like it does with the Model S or X. But Tesla also needs to sell these more expensive Model 3s to grow its revenue at a time when the company is spending more money than ever. In the meantime, Tesla is holding back on making the cheapest... |
| Digging mammoths in the Arctic isn’t as pretty and sci-fi as this new Lego set suggests Posted: 21 May 2018 12:03 PM PDT  A kid playing with the new Lego City set about Arctic exploration might think that scientists excavate mammoths and saber-toothed cats out of ice cubes using enormous saws, ice crawling machines with huge claws, and four propeller choppers. The reality, unfortunately, is not nearly as sci-fi, according to experts. "The real version is a lot dirtier, murkier, a lot more kind of like a home-improvement kit you got out of the back door to get the job done," says Victoria Herridge, a paleobiologist and scientific associate at the Natural History Museum in London. "The animals themselves would be more like a zombie version of a mammoth as opposed to a pristine one." The new Lego City set is coming out on... |
