| Fortnite servers go down after new season launch Posted: 12 Jul 2018 06:24 PM PDT  Season 5 of Fortnite went live this morning, and it looks like Epic Games is having trouble dealing with the deluge of players diving into the new Battle Pass challenges. The developer has taken servers down while it investigates issues associated with logging in, game services, and matchmaking. The Fortnite status page says there's a "major outage." Right now you can't launch the PC game at all, while other versions are citing wait times of up to 40 minutes or more before eventually returning login failures. Epic's on the case, but the downtime will be disappointing for anyone hoping to find that llama this evening.

| Paul Ryan says his car was eaten by woodchucks — we investigate Posted: 12 Jul 2018 05:51 PM PDT  House Speaker Paul Ryan says his car was eaten by woodchucks, NPR reports. The furry rodents spent the winter munching on the congressman's Chevy Suburban, which had been parked at his mom's house in Wisconsin, Ryan said at a talk in DC. The car did not weather the woodchuck invasion well. "It's just dead," he told the audience, according to NPR. So The Verge is asking the tough questions: did woodchucks specifically target Paul Ryan? Or do woodchucks typically chuck cars? Paul Ryan's in the clear: big ground squirrels known as marmots — and yes, a woodchuck is a species of marmot — do chuck cars. And trucks. And bicycles, according to Daniel Blumstein, a professor at the University of California Los Angeles who studies marmots. |
| You can now use Alexa to control your DirecTV set-top box Posted: 12 Jul 2018 04:01 PM PDT  Amazon first announced an update to its Alexa Video Skill API back in March that would make it easier for set-top box makers to add DVR and playback controls via voice, but it's taken a little while for its initial partners to enable the feature. TiVo added it to select devices back in May, and now DirecTV is joining the club with an announcement today that its Genie HR44 DVR, among other DirecTV set-top boxes, finally supports Alexa. With the update, you should be able to use your voice to ask an Alexa-enabled Echo device to record TV shows, change channels, and perform other playback functions for your DirecTV set-top box. Commands like, "Hey Alexa, record that show," can be used for specific programs, and you can also specify for... |
| Marvel’s Black Widow movie finally has a director Posted: 12 Jul 2018 03:28 PM PDT  A film starring Scarlett Johansson's Marvel Cinematic Universe character has been rumored for the past few years, but that rumor now seems much closer to reality. Cate Shortland (Lore, Berlin Syndrome) has signed on to direct the long-overdue film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Earlier this year, Marvel hired screenwriter Jac Schaeffer to write the script, which is reportedly set before the events of the first Avengers film. THR says Marvel has met with "70 or 75 directors in order to find its ideal candidate," and that hiring a woman to direct was a priority, with Johansson personally advocating for Shortland. Johansson's Black Widow was first introduced to the MCU in 2010's Iron Man 2, and she has since appeared in The... |
| In Mission: Impossible - Fallout, being the good guy has serious consequences Posted: 12 Jul 2018 02:30 PM PDT  Over the past two decades, the Mission: Impossible film franchise has become the reliable, comforting home that's always ready to shelter Tom Cruise. No matter what turns his career takes, there's always Ethan Hunt: the dogged Impossible Missions Force operative who always gives 110 percent, perpetually putting himself at risk to secure other people's safety. In a different era, Hunt would serve as a sort of Platonic action-hero ideal, and there wouldn't be any need to dig past the archetype itself. But there's been an interesting wrinkle in the franchise, starting with Brad Bird's 2011 take, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Hunt has had to face the notion of consequences — and not just the usual ones, where if he fails, some madman... |
| Justice Department appeals ruling in attempt to block massive AT&T–Time Warner merger Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:33 PM PDT  The Justice Department will appeal a court ruling that allowed the merger between AT&T and Time Warner. In court records released today, the agency said it plans to take the lower court's decision to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in another attempt to block the deal. Last month's decision against the Justice Department was a severe rebuke of the Trump administration's antitrust enforcement team, and it allowed for the creation of a major new player in the telecom industry. The judge's ruling, moreover, was an extraordinarily one-sided decision in favor of the merger, although the legal thinking behind that ruling was controversial. It was unclear whether the department would decide to... |
| The FCC is changing up the country’s emergency alert system to prevent another Hawaii incident Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:27 PM PDT  The FCC announced today that it'll bolster the country's Emergency Alert System to prevent unexpected false alarms, like the one that happened in Hawaii earlier this year. State and local officials will now be able to conduct "live code" tests that'll use the same alert codes and processes that would be required in an actual emergency. The idea is that officials will better learn the system while the public will get used to responding to alerts and know what to expect. Everyone in the area will get a test message, like a real alert. The agency also says that public service announcements about the Emergency Alert System will now be able to use the same alert sounds as an actual emergency. (The alerts will include a disclaimer about what's... |
| Facebook changes privacy settings after outing members of a closed medical support group Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:21 PM PDT  A closed group for women at genetic risk for breast cancer wasn't as private as its members thought, according to a new report from CNBC. The BRCA Sisterhood group was created as a support network for women with the BRCA gene, a mutation that greatly increases the risk of breast cancer, often resulting in preemptive mastectomy. The group was listed as "private" because of the sensitivity of the issue. But while the content of the group was closed to outsiders, the group's membership was broadly visible, inadvertently revealing sensitive medical information. Sisterhood members became aware of the loophole through a Chrome extension that allowed one of the members to download detailed information for thousands of members in a matter of... |
| William Gibson’s abandoned Alien 3 script will be published as a comic book Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:08 PM PDT  The history of Hollywood is littered with film projects that waste away in "development hell" for years, or worse, are abandoned altogether, leaving movie-goers to wonder "what if?" Titles like Alejandro Jodorowsky's ambitious Dune project or Nicholas Cage's Superman Lives tease an alternate past in which a very different set of films hit theaters. One notable project that dangled in front of fans was the sequel to James Cameron's Aliens, Alien 3. Initially, the film's producers approached Neuromancer author William Gibson to write the script; he produced one, but ultimately it never saw the light of day. Comic Book Resources revealed that Dark Horse Comics will release a comic series starting in November based on Gibson's screenplay,... |
| Unlimited data plans are a mess: here’s how to pick the best one Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:30 PM PDT  Above Unlimited. Unlimited &More. Unlimited &More Premium. These are the names of new mobile data plans introduced in just the last month by Verizon and AT&T. In an era without net neutrality, we've drifted far, far away from the days when "unlimited data" was a simple concept that meant you could use your smartphone to its full capabilities without any handcuffs or confusing limitations. Carriers will tell you that the fundamental, underlying promise of unlimited data remains true in 2018: you can use your smartphone as much as you want without overage charges or being cut off once you've surpassed a specific threshold. And yes, that's true. Consumers are generally in a better place now than they were a few years ago, back when... |
