| Valve unveils its Twitch competitor Steam TV Posted: 17 Aug 2018 05:05 PM PDT  Valve has created its own Twitch competitor, and it's launching it today just in time for The International tournament. Steam.tv is Valve's new streaming site, and it's currently dedicated to the company's Dota 2 game. Valve's launch of Steam TV comes just as The International, an annual Dota 2 e-sports tournament, is about to begin on August 20th. The International is the biggest e-sports tournament in the world, thanks to its massive prize fund of over $24 million. It makes it an ideal time for Valve to launch its own streaming service. Steam TV is rather basic right now though. It's limited to Dota 2, and signing in with a Steam account only gives you access to a friends list and group chats. CNET notes that you can watch a stream... |
| Lexar’s making a glorious return to the world of flash storage Posted: 17 Aug 2018 02:49 PM PDT  It looks like Lexar is back on its feet. Back in 2017, the staple company in the world of digital storage threw in the towel and announced that it'd be ceasing retail operations that year. But according to an announcement spotted by CameraJabber earlier this week, the company is back in business, and will be ready to return to producing and globally shipping flash storage as of this fall. "I'm extremely excited to re-introduce the Lexar brand to our worldwide customers," Lexar CEO Huabo Cai said in a statement. "Lexar is dynamic, has superior research and development capabilities, and has a deep understanding of our customer's needs. At the same time, we are confident that we can expand the Lexar business successfully in different... |
| US reportedly pressuring Facebook to break Messenger’s encryption over MS-13 investigation Posted: 17 Aug 2018 02:43 PM PDT  The US Department of Justice is reportedly trying to have Facebook break the end-to-end encryption of its popular Messenger chat app so that the government can spy on a suspect's "ongoing voice conversations" in a criminal investigation related to the notorious MS-13 gang. Facebook has so far pushed back against the DoJ's request, according to a new Reuters scoop on the situation. End-to-end encryption makes it so that only the participants of a conversation can see the messages and content that it contains. Facebook does not have access to the data. Reuters says that the surveillance case is under seal in California, so no documents or information about it are publicly accessible. And it seems like tensions are rising fast: earlier... |
| Be careful what you believe about screen time making you blind Posted: 17 Aug 2018 02:27 PM PDT  If you believe the headlines that have been circulating over the past few weeks, staring at screens is ruining our eyes. "Blue light from phones, tablets could accelerate blindness and hurt vision, study finds," USA Today declared. Only, that particular study didn't actually test the blue light that comes out of screens — and it didn't look at the light's effects on actual eyeballs. We've been through this before: there is some evidence that blue light can disrupt your sleep schedule. And some research suggests blue light might damage rat retinas. But that doesn't mean that the blue light from screens does the same thing to people — and ophthalmologist Rebecca Taylor told The Verge earlier this year that "the devices that we use do not... |
| Amazon is reportedly working on a Tivo competitor Posted: 17 Aug 2018 01:20 PM PDT  Bloomberg reports today that Amazon is reportedly working on a new device that'll record live TV with the goal of letting users play content back on their phones later. The device, which is internally called "Frank," would have physical storage and connect to Fire TV boxes. It'd rely on the same wireless technology that allows Amazon's Echo speakers to pair with those boxes. Bloomberg's source says the product isn't official yet and might not roll out. Additionally, the company reportedly plans to update its Fire TV stick with new software and is also exploring the possibility of expanding its Fire TV software and video content to outside TV makers, beyond its current manufacturing partners. This would be similar to Roku's efforts that... |
| Netflix is testing video promos that play in between episodes Posted: 17 Aug 2018 01:00 PM PDT  Netflix's latest test feature is a video promo that plays in between episodes of a series you're watching. The test is only appearing for select users globally and it's a full-screen video of content Netflix's algorithms are recommending to a viewer, as spotted by TechCrunch. Users who have spotted the test feature have taken to (since deleted) Reddit and Twitter to voice their annoyance at having their show-binging interrupted by an ad for other shows. A bug appeared for some users where they were unable to skip the promo and had to watch a certain amount — like with ads on YouTube — before they were able to get to the next episode of their show. Netflix told The Verge that the video promos are supposed to be skippable and that the... |
| Streaming TV services are now used by 5 percent of US households with Wi-Fi Posted: 17 Aug 2018 12:41 PM PDT  We're seeing a lot more households that choose to stream their favorite shows instead of watching them on cable. According to newly released analytics from the media pros at Comscore, that number has spiked by 58 percent in the past year. The total number — 4.9 million — is a whole 5 percent of US households that choose to stream over Wi-Fi-based services, without the bells and whistles of traditional paid TV. Comscore specifically looked at "pure play" systems: streamers that don't offer their own original shows the same way that other services, like Netflix , Hulu, and Amazon Prime do. Right now, these pure players include Sling, along with DirectTV Now, Playstation Vue, YouTube TV, and others. A full 10 percent of streaming time... |
| This masterpiece is not the Waluigi movie script we want, but it’s the one we deserve Posted: 17 Aug 2018 12:30 PM PDT  Waluigi might not be in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers game, but he's still in the hearts of gamers across the internet who like their anti-heroes tall, dark, and pointily mustachioed. One of these fans, who simply goes by "Asher," has gone so far as to pen a dark, Lynchian reboot starring none other than that other purple prince, Waluigi. The plot — if you can call it that — involves shadowy figures, a closeted romance between Waluigi and Wario, and hundreds of empty wallets. Other characters from across the Mario universe make their own cameos across the script's nearly 90 pages of insanity. We were originally tipped off about the script by a friend of The Verge, who saw this mysterious poster stuck to a local mailbox. Scanning... |
| Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti leak reveals a very powerful graphics card Posted: 17 Aug 2018 12:19 PM PDT  Nvidia has been teasing its upcoming GeForce event for weeks now, and it looks like the company will unveil a new series of GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards on Monday. While Nvidia typically launches Ti (Titanium) versions of its most powerful graphics cards after the base models are launched, VideoCardz.com reports that Nvidia will launch both an RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti next week. VideoCardz has provided what it claims are specifications for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, and it will allegedly include 11GB of GDDR6 memory with 4352 CUDA cores. That's more than 20 percent more than the existing 3584 CUDA cores found on the GTX 1080 Ti, and 70 percent more than the base GTX 1080. It's not clear what speed the card is clocked at, but that... |
| Sony made a pretty infographic to explain why Android updates can be so slow Posted: 17 Aug 2018 11:57 AM PDT  Sony knows you want Android Pie, and it's working on it. It promises to get it to you by November, so long as you own an Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Premium, XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1, or XZ1 Compact. To tide you over before the update actually reaches your phone and you see all your upgraded friends enjoying it, Sony has published an infographic to teach you about phone updates. It's not Sony's fault that updates are slow; blame it on the machine that is a new Android OS rollout. You see, Sony has to optimize the OS for its hardware; add its own personal touches; test it internally; test it externally; make sure it meets certain standards; and ensure the devices actually work with carriers. It's a tough job being a phone maker, I guess. T... |
