Elon Musk forced to step down as chairman of Tesla, remains CEO

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 02:29 PM PDT

Elon Musk has reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the charges filed earlier this week over his abandoned attempt to take Tesla private. Musk will have to step down as the chairman of Tesla within 45 days, and will not be able to take that role with the company again for three years. He will be able to remain Tesla's CEO during that time.

Alongside the settlement, the SEC also charged Tesla with "failing to have required disclosure controls and procedures relating to Musk's tweets," according to the agency. Tesla has already agreed to settle this charge. Both Musk and the company will pay separate $20 million fines that will "be distributed to harmed investors under a court-approved process," according to...

Best Buy accidentally sells customer the new, unannounced Chromecast

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 11:47 AM PDT

Google has its annual fall hardware event planned for October 9th, which is when we'll see the official announcement of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL on top of the usual slate of Google-made hardware upgrades. One of those upgrades, to the company's Chromecast line, appears to have been leaked in rather embarrassing fashion by Best Buy, which sold the unannounced product to a customer who picked it up off the shelf, via AndroidPolice.

The customer, who posted a photo of the product an account of the story on Reddit under the name GroveStreetHomie, says it didn't even show up in Best Buy's system, but that the cashier rang up the product under a listing for an older Chromecast.

Watch these scientists discover a new fish, but miss the giant shark swimming by

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 11:00 AM PDT

A team of researchers with the California Academy of Sciences discovered a brand new species of fish — and somehow missed a huge shark swimming right on top of them. The whole underwater encounter was caught on video. And the best part? The divers speak exclusively in chipmunk voices.

That's because the divers use a rebreather gas mixture that lets them dive deeper and spend more time underwater than a recreational diver can, Katie Jewett, a science writer for the California Academy of Sciences, tells The Verge in an email. And that gas mixture contains helium. "Hence, the chipmunk voices," Jewett says. If Alvin and the Chipmunks decided to become scientific divers, this is what it would sound like.

Minecraft is getting a dungeon-crawling spinoff next year

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:30 AM PDT

The Minecraft universe is set to expand once again. Today at Minecon, developer Mojang revealed a new dungeon-crawler set in the blocky universe. Called Minecraft: Dungeons, the new experience is described as "an all-new action-adventure game inspired by classic dungeon crawlers, where you'll constantly discover new weapons and items that will help you defeat a ruthless swarm of new-and-nasty mobs. You'll fight or flee through canyons, swamps, and — of course — mines!"

Dungeons is, naturally, set in the Minecraft universe, but it looks like it will offer a more structured experience than the sandbox building game. You can explore solo or play with up to four friends. It seems like a pretty natural extension of the best-selling Minecraft,...

9 new trailers you should watch this week

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:00 AM PDT

I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, but some get so much buzz and seem to do things so differently — like Black Panther or Guardians of the Galaxy — that I'm compelled to check them out. That got me to watch Logan the other week, which is one of the only X-Men movies I've seen.

And it's kind of wild how unlike a superhero movie it feels. Mostly, it's the visuals — replace the superpowers with real-world weapons, and little else would look out of place. It helps to make the film far more of a drama about Wolverine than a superhero story about a planet that needs to be saved. The intimate stakes helped with that, too.

One thing I found particularly interesting, though, was how much the film's plot mirrored Children of Men (minus the...

What Tesla’s union-busting trial means for the rest of Silicon Valley

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:00 AM PDT

In some sense Tesla's union question is an existential one: is Tesla a tech company or a car company? Car companies tend to have strong unions, while tech companies do not.

Musk runs Tesla like a tech company. Tesla's done a top-to-bottom redesign of cars, and of the factory workflow. There are sudden pivots, and plenty of investment, despite a lack of profit — so far, so tech. Then you have the cars themselves: have to charge their batteries, the company can push over-the-air software updates to your car and totally change how it works, and uh they're hackable. But they're still cars: they go on roads, you drive them, and in most states you are legally compelled to buy car insurance for them.

Unions do exist in tech, though mostly among...

The PS4 Pro bundle with Red Dead Redemption 2 is this week’s best deal

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 08:00 AM PDT

Most deals come and go rather quickly, like eBay's day-long 15 percent off special on Thursday, but some stick around for a while. Case in point: the week's best ongoing deal is Sony's new PS4 Pro Bundle, which includes the 1TB, 4K-ready console, a DualShock 4 controller, and Red Dead Redemption 2 for $399.

This is the normal price for a PS4 Pro without a game tossed in, so getting Rockstar Games' latest for free sweetens the pot. Some bemoan that this PS4 Pro doesn't feature a custom design, like we've seen with Spider-Man or Destiny 2, but you'll probably be too enraptured with the game to care once it arrives.

You can preorder this bundle at Amazon, GameStop, Walmart, and Best Buy

Former Telltale devs share the best goofs you never saw

Posted: 29 Sep 2018 07:00 AM PDT

Telltale Games as we know it ceases to exist. The studio laid off a devastating majority of its staff — around 250 people — last week in response to financial troubles. Many of its projects are effectively canceled. The future of a few others, like The Walking Dead's final season, remain up in the air. Those who loved the studio's work have been reminiscing over the past week, and in addition to fans sharing their favorite moments, many former developers have used the studio's closure as an opportunity to share internal jokes.

Campo Santo developer Jake Rodkin, who worked on the first season of The Walking Dead, posted several videos to a YouTube channel. Best among them is an, uh, alternative ending to the first season of The Walking...
