California governor signs nation’s toughest net neutrality bill into law

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 05:35 PM PDT

California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed the nation's toughest net neutrality bill into law. The law will prohibit internet providers from blocking or throttling any legal apps and websites, and it will ban paid prioritization of content. The law also goes further than the since-overturned federal net neutrality rules by banning zero-rating — offering free data — of specific apps.

Several other states have taken action on net neutrality, but most chose to enact protections in a looser fashion that didn't enforce it on all providers and wiggled around the Federal Communication Commission's prohibition on state net neutrality laws. California, on the other hand, chose to just go for it, and it's enacted a law that very clearly replicates and...

Conference app for the UK’s Conservative Party leaked attendee data

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 03:23 PM PDT

This weekend, members of the UK's Conservative Party kicked off their annual conference in Birmingham, using the event to highlight their plans and priorities for the coming year. This year's event had a rocky start: its official app allowed users to access personal contact information of other attendees, without a password.

According to the BBC, the app had a button that allowed users to press a button and enter an attendee's e-mail address, which gave them access without prompting them for a password. Several attendees reported that they were not only able to access non-public information in the accounts of various party members such as phone numbers and e-mail addresses, but they could also change said information. Various...

The FBI used a suspect’s face to unlock his iPhone in Ohio case

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 02:18 PM PDT

When Apple debuted Face ID with the iPhone X last year, it raised an interesting legal question: can you be compelled to unlock your phone by looking at it? In an apparent first, Forbes reports that the FBI got a suspect to unlock his phone during a raid in August.

In August, the FBI raided the home of Grant Michalski, looking for evidence that he had sent or received child pornography. They were armed with a search warrant [warning: this documentation contains explicit descriptions of sexual abuse] which allowed them to search Michalski's computer for evidence, and during the raid, agents recovered his iPhone X.

The agents who found the iPhone asked Michalski to unlock the device via Face ID, which he did. They "placed the [phone] into...

Dad Adam Driver learns how to play Fortnite on SNL

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 10:00 AM PDT

Saturday Night Live returned for its 44th season this weekend, with The Last Jedi's Adam Driver returning as host. While he didn't reprise his role of Matt the Radar Technician from his 2016 appearance, he did jump on another cultural bandwagon: Fortnite.

The sketch opens with Dad Driver joining a squad, explaining that his ex-wife's new husband has been playing the game with his son, and that he wants to find a way to keep up.

It doesn't go well. Driver's naïve character is truly out of his element, which makes for a fun skit in and of itself — running into walls and messing up the entire mission, but what really makes the sketch is the fact that SNL decided to forgo using game footage for the sketch. Instead, they reenacts the...

Leak reveals Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6 might lack USB-C ports

Surface Laptop 2 in black mockup

Microsoft is holding a Surface hardware event on Tuesday (October 2nd) in New York City, and a new leak reveals the company will announce a Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6. We'd been expecting Microsoft to refresh both these devices at the event, but we'd also been assuming the new hardware would come with modern USB-C ports. Germany site WinFuture claims that neither the Surface Laptop 2 or Surface Pro 6 will include USB-C ports.

Instead, Microsoft is said to be sticking with its trusted mini DisplayPort and Surface Connector combo for connecting to displays and charging the device. If the report is genuine then this would be a surprising move from Microsoft, and it would also match rumored leaked photos of the Surface Laptop 2. The...

The Gardens Between is an unexpected lesson in theoretical physics

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 08:00 AM PDT

It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.

The Gardens Between is about two kids, Ariana and Frendt, exploring surreal islands that are made from objects in their shared memories. But you don't actually control either character directly — you control the flow of time. At first this seems like a difficult thing to wrap your head around. But because of how you are able to observe the forward and backward movement of time, it all makes sense, as you're able to understand the causality of events. However, when I think about how the characters might see these events...

Nearly a quarter of US households own a smart speaker, according to Nielsen

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 07:00 AM PDT

Smart speaker love is in full effect for US consumers, with 24 percent of US households owning a smart speaker, and 40 percent of those households owning multiple speakers, according to Nielsen's latest study.

Devices like Amazon's Echo, Google's Home speaker, and Apple's HomePod have taken off in recent years, and it seems that trend is continuing, with Nielsen noting that 62 percent of smart speaker owners have purchased their devices in the past six months. Forty-five percent of smart speaker owners are planning to purchase more devices for their home, Nielsen said.

Everything coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now in October

Posted: 30 Sep 2018 06:00 AM PDT

October is nearly here, so it's time to think about Halloween, and streaming services are doing their best to offer up a selection of the spooky, supernatural, and suspenseful. Netflix is leading the way with a number of original movies and TV shows coming to subscribers over the course of the month. Mike Flanagan's TV series adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House will arrive on October 12th, along with Apostle, the new period horror film from director Gareth Evans (The Raid). Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the latest adaptation of the Archie comic, will arrive on October 26th, and it looks to be including a healthy dose of Satanic weirdness to differentiate itself from the 1990s Melissa Joan Hart version....
