| Facebook is deleting timeline posts that users cross-published from Twitter Posted: 28 Aug 2018 05:04 PM PDT  Facebook appears to have scrubbed all timeline posts that were cross-published from Twitter from its users' profiles following privacy-minded API restrictions imposed on third-party developers, according to TechCrunch. These restrictions were put in place in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, which involved the packaging and selling of more than 87 million users' personal information to a data-mining company, that roiled the company starting back in March. As a result of those changes, with the pertinent one regarding Facebook Lpgin having been announced back on April 4th, some services, Twitter included, can no longer take direct actions on a user's profile, including posting to the timeline on his or her behalf.... |
| How to opt out of Yahoo Mail’s invasive data scanning Posted: 28 Aug 2018 04:20 PM PDT  Today, the Wall Street Journal reported Yahoo Mail is still scanning users' emails for data to sell to advertisers. Yahoo's owner, Oath, is reportedly in talks with advertisers to provide a service that would scan over 200 million Yahoo Mail inboxes for insights on whether users are frequent fliers, self-employed, and other qualities gleaned from retail emails they receive. There are two main ways users can still protect themselves from this data mining: they can opt out and they can choose a more secure email provider. Here's how you can opt out of Yahoo Mail's scanning:

| Samsung’s X5 is a portable, blazing-fast SSD with Thunderbolt 3 speeds Posted: 28 Aug 2018 03:25 PM PDT  Samsung has introduced a portable X-series NVMe SSD with support for Thunderbolt 3. The new Samsung Portable SSD X5, with its 40Gbps bandwidth, can hit read speeds of 2,800 MB/s, which is several times faster than SATA-based portable SSDs. The Portable SSD X5 costs $399.99 for the 500GB model, $699.99 for the 1TB model, and $1,399.99 for the 2TB premium version. It ships beginning September 3rd. But since this is specifically a Thunderbolt 3 drive, laptops that only support USB won't be compatible. You'll definitely need a recent, high-end machine to use the X5 and take advantage of what it can do. The SSD is meant to handle 4K video editing, real-time 3D rendering, and high-resolution RAW files. You can... |
| Amazon reportedly planning a free, ad-supported video service for Fire TV owners Posted: 28 Aug 2018 02:47 PM PDT  Amazon is making an even bigger play for the television advertising market with a planned launch of an ad-supported video service specifically for Fire TV device owners, according to a report today from The Information. The service, which could be called Free Dive, is said to be very close in concept to the Roku Channel, an ad-supported free video service for Roku streaming devices and smart TVs that's helped the device maker grow its platform business. These services tend to offer a random mix of older catalog content, but they're free to stream. The Information estimates Amazon has around 48 million customers who own a Fire TV device, either in the form of a HDMI stick, a more powerful and 4K-equipped HDMI dongle, and the new,... |
| Ford asked the government about giving police cars an off switch for mandatory EV noise rule Posted: 28 Aug 2018 02:30 PM PDT  Electric cars are quiet, but they won't be for long. To help keep pedestrians safe, the United States Department of Transportation recently mandated that, starting in 2020, all new hybrid and all-electric vehicles must emit a noise when traveling at under 19 miles per hour. In 2015, however, Ford wanted to know if it could partially exempt the law enforcement vehicles it makes, The Verge has learned. In the text of the final rule issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this past February, the government said it would respond to a comment that was submitted by Ford "regarding the legality of equipping certain vehicles used for security purposes with a means of turning off the required pedestrian alert sound."... |
| In the wake of Jacksonville shooting, increased security at gaming tournaments isn’t enough Posted: 28 Aug 2018 02:11 PM PDT  Days after the Jacksonville shooting that left three dead and 10 wounded, the conversation surrounding the tragedy has shifted toward the question of security and whether better safety measures can help prevent future incidents within the gaming community. EA is investigating how it can implement better preventive measures at its sanctioned and hosted events going forward. Other events such as PAX have assured attendees that they will continue to enact proactive safety protocols. Increased security will undoubtedly give gamers peace of mind, but given America's gun crisis, it feels like placing a Band-Aid on a gaping wound. "I know many of us, myself included, are filled with shock and grief," wrote EA CEO Andrew Wilson in the... |
| Tesla releases a sleek but slow wireless charger for your smartphone Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:59 PM PDT  Tesla's lifestyle products tend to cash in on the brand appeal of the electric carmaker and its very publicly engaged chief executive Elon Musk, and the new Tesla Wireless Charger is no exception. The device, which retails on Tesla's website alongside hats and the company's existing desktop and portable chargers, is a sleek, Apple-like device that costs $65. It has an integrated USB-C cable for when you want to plug it directly into your device, and a USB-A port for non-USB-C devices. You can get it in black or white, but it only comes with 6,000mAh of juice and 5W of output charging. (The wired charging method gets you 7.5W.) For about half the price, you can get Anker's 10,000mAh PowerCore charger, which has 12W of output charging but... |
| Yahoo Mail is still scanning your emails for data to sell to advertisers Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:37 PM PDT  Yahoo still scans users' emails for data to sell to advertisers, a practice that many tech companies have moved away from, according to The Wall Street Journal. Yahoo's owner, Oath, is in talks with advertisers to provide a service that would analyze over 200 million Yahoo Mail inboxes for consumer data, sources told WSJ. Oath did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Oath confirmed to the WSJ that it performs email scannings and said that it only scans promotional emails, usually from retailers. Users have the ability to opt out, it said. Oath's argument is that email is an expensive system, and people can't expect a free service without some value exchanged. Even the emails in Yahoo's... |
| JetBlue is raising its checked baggage fees to $30 Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:10 PM PDT  After being one of the last airlines to let customers check a bag for free, JetBlue is now raising its prices for all checked baggage. The first checked bag is now $30, up from $25, making it one of the highest fees in the industry. A second checked bag fee has also been raised by $5 to $40, while a third checked back will cost $150, up from $100. The fee increase will go into effect for tickets booked after August 27th, as outlined on JetBlue's website: Airlines have been raising baggage fees in order to offset higher fuel prices and maintenance costs. Following JetBlue's lead, today, Air Canada and WestJet have also raised their first checked bag fees to $30 and second checked bags to $50. Major US... |
| Intel’s latest 8th-Gen Core processors focus on improving Wi-Fi speeds Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:00 PM PDT  IFA 2018 is here, and to go along with the wealth of new laptops that will presumably be announced over the next few days, Intel is taking the wraps off its latest 8th-Gen processors. There are three new Whiskey Lake U-series chips (Intel's midrange line for laptops), and, for the first time, there are three 8th-Gen Amber Lake Y-series processors. While Intel is still using the same underlying architecture as its previous processors — making these new chips ostensibly an "8.5-Gen" lineup, at least where the U-series models are concerned — the big change that the company is highlighting is integrated gigabit Wi-Fi support. Intel promises that this should result in dramatically faster internet speeds, especially apparent on the cheaper,... |
