| Facebook deletes more than 600 accounts linked to new influence campaigns led by Iran and Russia Posted: 21 Aug 2018 04:57 PM PDT  Facebook removed more pages today as a result of four ongoing influence campaigns on the platform, taking down 652 fake accounts and pages that published political content. The campaigns, whose existence was first uncovered by the cybersecurity firm FireEye, have links to Russia and Iran, Facebook said in a blog post. The existence of the fake accounts was first reported by The New York Times. "These were networks of accounts that were misleading people about who they were and what they were doing," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a call with reporters. "We ban this kind of behavior because authenticity matters. People need to be able to trust the connections they make on Facebook." In July, FireEye tipped Facebook off to the existence of a... |
| How do you find a nuclear-powered missile that’s lost at sea? Posted: 21 Aug 2018 04:53 PM PDT  Moscow is hunting for a nuclear-powered missile that went missing during a test last year, CNBC reported today. In March, Vladimir Putin announced that Russia was developing a cruise missile powered by a nuclear reactor. The idea was that it would "be able to fly all around the world and navigate around missile defense systems and make its way to a target — even if it's on the other side of the planet," says Hans Kristensen, a nuclear weapons expert with the Federation of American scientists. But so far, all four tests of the missile have ended in crashes, according to the anonymous sources who spoke to CNBC. And now, Moscow is reportedly searching for one missile that disappeared into the Barents sea north of Russia in November. The... |
| T-Mobile is reportedly asking smaller carriers to publicly support its acquisition of Sprint Posted: 21 Aug 2018 03:39 PM PDT  T-Mobile is asking smaller carriers that run services on its mobile network to publicly come out in favor of the company's proposed merger with Sprint, according to Reuters. T-Mobile has requested that these mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) take steps that range from filing FCC comments in favor of the deal to publishing editorials in news publications. The company is also providing MVNOs with a number of talking points that match its own reasoning for why a merger between the third- and fourth-largest US carriers would be positive for consumers and the mobile industry. Accelerating the buildout of 5G is at the top of that list. MVNOs that operate on T-Mobile's network include TracFone and subsidiary Straight Talk, Google's... |
| Verizon throttled California fire department during wildfire crisis Posted: 21 Aug 2018 02:38 PM PDT  As wildfires raged in California this summer, one fire department's response was impeded by an unexpected problem: data throttling. In documents filed this week as part of a legal challenge to the FCC's net neutrality repeal, Santa Clara County Fire Marshal Anthony Bowden explains how Verizon slowed device speeds during the crisis, hindering firefighters' response. In the documents, flagged by Ars Technica, Bowden writes that the fire department had purchased an unlimited data plan from Verizon for a support unit's connection, but the company started throttling speeds "to 1/200, or less" after the unit hit 25GB of use. Bowden writes that the resulting throttling from Verizon "had a... |
| HTC’s Vive Wireless Adapter will cost $300, preorders start September 5th Posted: 21 Aug 2018 02:27 PM PDT  HTC has announced that its Vive Wireless Adapter will be available to preorder beginning on September 5th for $300. The Adapter, which HTC announced back in January, allows Vive headsets to operate without having to connect up cables directly to your PC. It uses Intel's WiGig technology, operating in the 60GHz band to prevent any interference and run at low latency. The T-shaped Adapter sits on top of the user's head with a cable that connects to a battery pack. HTC says the Adapter's battery should last long enough for up to 2.5 hours of continuous use within a 20 foot by 20 foot play area. At $300, the Vive Wireless Adapter is in the price range of other wireless adapters like the TPCast — though the TPCast has a longer battery life... |
| Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti is on sale at its lowest price ever for Verge readers Posted: 21 Aug 2018 01:47 PM PDT  Following the debut of the GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards, B&H Photo is offering steep discounts on Nvidia's high-end GeForce GTX 10-series cards exclusively to Verge readers. Limited quantities of EVGA's GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1080, and GTX 1080 Ti are available for the lowest prices that you'll currently find. For $399, the GTX 1070 Ti can easily power gaming on a 1440p monitor. At $50 more, the GTX 1080 is a more powerful match if you're interested in 4K gaming, though it's also more proficient at 1440p gaming with fast frame rates than the GTX 1070. At the top of Nvidia's 10-series is the GTX 1080 Ti, which you can snag for $599 — an all-time low for a card with a three-year warranty. As explained in our recent guide on how to pick... |
| Google’s newest tool seeks to make our current news hellscape a little more bearable Posted: 21 Aug 2018 01:27 PM PDT  Trying to keep up with the news might be aspirational, but these days, it can also be depressing. Between our impending ecological disaster, ever-rising racial and class tensions, sexual harassment accusations, and a government more suited for reality TV, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of terrible stuff out there. Google's attempting to tackle this fatigue with a new tool for its Assistant that makes meaningful good news easier to find. Designed to dole out a daily digest of positive stories simply, users can now just ask Google Assistant to "Tell me something good." In Google's terms, the company says many of us are wading in a "hope gap" — the idea that the more you focus on problems rather than the solutions, the... |
| Facebook seems to be exploring speech recognition with ‘Aloha’ voice testing Posted: 21 Aug 2018 01:16 PM PDT  Facebook may be testing speech recognition again with a new "Aloha" voice feature, spotted by frequent app investigator Jane Manchun Wong and reported by TechCrunch, in the latest development in the company's voice interaction ambitions. The company was originally said to be planning a smart speaker (also codenamed "Aloha," as well as "Portal"), but plans were apparently put on hold earlier this year ahead of the company's F8 conference in May following a distinct lack of public confidence in the social media site due to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. But now, it seems that Facebook is back to work, with Wong discovering a new dictation feature buried inside the Android Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps. Right now, all Aloha seems... |
| The company behind the adorably doomed robot Kuri is shutting down Posted: 21 Aug 2018 12:31 PM PDT  Less than a month after Mayfield Robotics said it was stopping production on its Kuri home robot, the company announced today on its blog that the company will be shutting down. Mayfield Robotics launched in 2015 as part of Bosch's Startup Platform, but struggled to integrate with and find a business fit within Bosch. Since the cancellation of its Kuri robot, Mayfield Robotics had been looking for external partners for long-term technology development, but was unable to find investment to support its future. The company will cease all operations by October 31st. We first met Kuri at CES 2017, and it wasn't yet able to showcase all the features it was promised to have in the future. The robot was supposed to have smart assistant... |
| Nintendo’s new Labo Vehicle Kit gives you more ways to build your own cardboard toys Posted: 21 Aug 2018 11:38 AM PDT  Nintendo Labo, the system of DIY cardboard accessories for the Switch released this past April, is adding a Vehicle Kit to its current lineup of the Robot Kit and Variety Kit. At a press event in New York today, Nintendo gave us an opportunity to build and play with the new kit, which includes materials to create cardboard controllers for a car, submarine, and plane. We were given a few minutes to build the controller key, which can be fitted into the car steering wheel; the dials to shift the direction of the submarine fans; and a joystick controller to pilot the plane. Of course, this was just a small taste of how long it actually takes to build these controllers; Nintendo estimates that the entire kit will take two to three hours to... |
