| Paypal bans Gab following Pittsburgh shooting Posted: 27 Oct 2018 02:32 PM PDT  Earlier today, a gunman walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and killed eleven people before being apprehended by police. The suspect has since been identified as 46-year-old Robert Bowers, who appears to have had a history of anti-Semitic speech on the social network Gab. Following these revelations, Paypal banned the site from its payment platform — the latest action taken against the troublesome social network by a major technology company. In a statement to The Verge, a PayPal spokesperson confirmed the ban, citing hate speech as a reason for the action:

| The only game I play on my phone is Minesweeper Posted: 27 Oct 2018 12:00 PM PDT  I recently got an ad for Solitaire 95 on Instagram. I don't know what I did to piss Instagram off so much it put me in the demographic of 'people who play Bejeweled Blitz on non-timed mode,' but the ad worked, because I downloaded the game. I enjoyed the novelty of the classic Windows 95 tabs and the iconic pixelated palm tree cards for one game before I forgot about it, but the experience did get me thinking about when I moved to New York City three years ago from South Korea, and the first time I saw someone on the subway playing Solitaire on their phone. Trains in South Korea run with impeccable precision, the subways are spotless, and there's fast Wi-Fi onboard on every line. Things are different in New York City. One time, a rat... |
| A week away from Fortnite feels like forever Posted: 27 Oct 2018 11:00 AM PDT  For the past week or so, virtually all of my time has been dedicated to the sprawling Wild West epic Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar's latest game is so huge, so all-encompassing, that I didn't let myself play anything else while reviewing it. In 2018 that isn't such an easy thing to do. So many of the games I play now are ones that have become fixtures in my daily routine. I feel like I'm missing out not checking in on my Animal Crossing campground, or getting in a few matches of Clash Royale. That sense of FOMO is particularly apparent in Fortnite. It changes so much, and so fast, that a prolonged absence can make it feel like you're returning to a completely different game. When I last played Fortnite, the latest major addition was a... |
| Alienation is the most powerful online brand Posted: 27 Oct 2018 10:00 AM PDT  More and more I find myself trying new ways to get lost. Not to disappear, not quite, but to separate self from self — or to create a new, quiet space, the way a mirror does with reflections. There's no sound in mirrorspace. Just mirrorselves who move silently through an inverted, recognizable world. It sometimes occurs to me to wonder about time there, in the land beyond the silvered glass, but only when I've ventured far enough from myself that it occurs to me to check my learned assumptions about the way the world works. In 1917 a Russian guy, Viktor Shklovsky, came up with a word for this: defamiliarization. His argument, essentially, was that poetic language works as art because it's more difficult to understand than everyday... |
| Tesla’s Navigate on Autopilot update is now live Posted: 27 Oct 2018 09:36 AM PDT  After rolling out its Version 9 of Autopilot a couple of weeks ago, Tesla has followed up with an additional update to equip its vehicles with its Navigate with Autopilot feature, a driver assistance system that brings the vehicles closer to being able to drive on their own. Tesla officially released the Version 9 update earlier this month, which included a new dash cam feature, games that can be played while the car is parked, and updates to the vehicle's navigation settings, and indicated that Navigate would be following shortly thereafter. In a blog post, Tesla says that with driver supervision, cars equipped with the feature will be able guide "a car from a highway's on-ramp to off-ramp, including suggesting and making lane... |
| New trailers: Bohemian Rhapsody, How to Train Your Dragon 3, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and more Posted: 27 Oct 2018 09:00 AM PDT  I watched Hot Summer Nights on Amazon the other week since I'll watch anything starring Timothée Chalamet right now and also it just looked really fun and stylish. And it is loaded with style — it feels like a menagerie of pastiche and homage, rearranged into a brand new story. The thing I found most interesting about the film was its use of myth. Like The Sandlot, the film relies on a narrator looking back at an important time in their life; something a little dreamy and idealized, filled with big, memorable characters and a small world that feels huge in the moment. But the problem with mythologizing your characters is that we have to see these characters, and we learn the truth behind the myth. I imagine there are some fascinating... |
| This week’s best deal takes $100 off an Xbox One console with purchase of Red Dead Redemption 2 Posted: 27 Oct 2018 08:00 AM PDT  The biggest products to hit this week include the iPhone XR, Apple's more affordable twist on the iPhone XS and XS Max smartphones, and Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar's prequel that's driving a ton of deals on consoles. If you're not after either of those — or if you've already bought them — there are plenty of other deals that are worth rummaging through as we inch closer to the holidays. Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available for the PS4 and Xbox One. Sony's PS4 Pro bundle with the game included is old news at this point, but this week saw big price drops on Xbox One consoles at a variety of retailers, both online and in store. Here are a few of the best bundles that are $100 off: |
| Twitter says it ‘made a mistake’ for not removing threatening tweets from Florida bomb suspect Posted: 27 Oct 2018 07:32 AM PDT  After 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc, Jr., was arrested on Friday on the suspicion that he mailed 13 explosives to prominent critics of President Donald Trump, the spotlight turned on a Twitter account that appears to belong to him, which he allegedly used to issue veiled threats to critics of the President. Twitter has apologized for not acting on tweets that clearly violated its terms of conduct. After the account was surfaced on Friday, Rochelle Ritchie tweeted several screenshots of threatening tweets that @hardrock2016 sent to her. She also posted a screenshot of the Twitter's response to her report: "we have reviewed your report carefully and found that there was no violation of the Twitter Rules against abusive behavior."

| This Halloween, use a 3D-printed prop to complete your last-minute costume Posted: 27 Oct 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Halloween is just a couple of days away, and if you're celebrating the evening, you're probably throwing together some sort of costume for a party, or getting something squared away for your child. Over the years I've been building costumes, I've found one thing that really makes or breaks a costume: attention to detail. Costuming is a hobby into which, in the pursuit of perfection, you can dump endless time and money, but for something like Halloween, not as much effort is required for something like a party or trick-or-treating. But even for those casual costumes, a detail piece can turn an outfit that you clearly threw together at the last minute into something memorable and cool — or even turn a non-costume ensemble into a costume. ... |
| Facebook’s UK Cambridge Analytica fine was incredibly small Posted: 27 Oct 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Officials said this week that Facebook would face a £500,000 fine from the UK over the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but it was a drop in the bucket for the massive company. "We considered these contraventions to be so serious we imposed the maximum penalty under the previous legislation," the head of the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said in a statement. As some pointed out this week, however, it will take a tiny amount of time for Facebook to recoup that loss. In fact, it's difficult to even properly visualize. Facebook made $5.1 billion in net income last quarter, a figure that's difficult to see next to $644,000, the USD equivalent of the fine: It's only when you look at the average net income per day over that... |
