| Apple is using proprietary software to lock MacBook Pros and iMac Pros from third-party repairs Posted: 04 Oct 2018 05:21 PM PDT  Apple is reportedly using new proprietary software diagnostic tools to repair MacBook Pros and iMac Pros that, if not used on key part repairs, will result in an "inoperative system and an incomplete repair," reads a document distributed to Apple's Authorized Service Providers last month. A copy of the document was obtained by MacRumors and Motherboard today, both of which reported on the contents of the document and the apparent implications on third-party repair services. It would seem that, without the proprietary software, third-party repair services will not be able to fix MacBook Pros that suffer from issues with the display assembly, the logic board, the keyboard and trackpad, and the Touch ID board, according to Motherboard.

| Chinese spy chips would be a ‘god-mode’ hack, experts say Posted: 04 Oct 2018 02:51 PM PDT  Chinese operatives allegedly poisoned the technical supply chain of major US companies, including Apple and Amazon by planting a microchip on their servers manufactured abroad, according to a Bloomberg report today. The story claims that one chip, which was assembled for a company called Elemental by a separate company called Super Micro Computer, would allow attackers to covertly modify these servers, bypass software security checks, and, essentially, give the Chinese government a complete backdoor into these companies' networks. Affected companies are vigorously disputing the report, claiming they never discovered any malicious hardware or reported similar issues to the FBI. Even taking the Bloomberg report at its word, there are... |
| ‘Smart TV kit’ bundling Google Home Mini and third-gen Chromecast leaks on Reddit Posted: 04 Oct 2018 02:50 PM PDT  Yet another Google product has leaked before the company's October 9th Pixel event, and this time, it's a Smart TV kit that bundles a Google Home Mini and the new, unannounced third-generation Chromecast. In a Reddit post that has since been deleted, a retail employee posted a photo of the upcoming Smart TV kit with the caption, "Just got these bad boys in at work today." It's unknown where the Reddit user works, but we can guess that the product is from Walmart, based on the fact that the previous Smart TV kits were selling as a Walmart-exclusive for $74. This is further confirmation of a third-generation Chromecast, as just days earlier, Best Buy accidentally stocked the unannounced product and solid it to a customer. We don't know... |
| White House calls on Google to abandon controversial Chinese search engine project Posted: 04 Oct 2018 02:22 PM PDT  Google's censored search engine and news app for China has seen a considerable amount of controversy since news of the project first broke, but it may have just gotten its biggest pushback yet in the form of direct opposition from the Trump administration. According to The Wall Street Journal, Vice President Mike Pence commented today in a speech that Google's modified search engine — currently under the codename Dragonfly — would "strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise the privacy of Chinese customers." The Intercept was the first to break the news about the censored search app earlier this year, with later reports revealing that Dragonfly reportedly links searches to phone numbers, making it easy for searches to be... |
| Tesla’s first Autopilot safety report is short on details Posted: 04 Oct 2018 02:16 PM PDT  Tesla has published its first quarterly vehicle safety report, which CEO Elon Musk promised in May would show "exactly what Autopilot's safety [level] is." In it, the company says Tesla owners got into one "accident or crash-like event" every 1.92 million miles driven without Autopilot during the third quarter of this year. When drivers did use Autopilot, Tesla says, they experienced one accident or crash-like event every 3.34 million miles. Tesla doesn't include any more detail than that, though. It doesn't describe any common traits between these crashes, or where and when they typically occur. The company also doesn't offer any insight into how often its drivers disengage the system, which has become a go-to statistic in the... |
| Square is now letting customers pay in monthly installments Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:49 PM PDT  Square is introducing a new payment option for small businesses to let customers pay for large purchases in monthly installments. Called Square Installments, payment plans can be used for purchases ranging from $250 to $10,000, and customers can choose to pay over three, six, and 12 months. Annual percentage rates will vary from 0 to 24 percent APR. The feature is available now in 22 US cities for businesses using Square, and customers have to be preapproved before they can start financing. Most customers will be able to see if they're approved instantly, but there will be cases in which approval can take one to two business days. Once approved, customers will receive a one-time use digital card number they can show to merchants to pay... |
| These new Nokia headphones are waterproof wireless earbuds with built-in vibration Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:06 PM PDT  HMD Global, the company that releases Nokia smartphones, announced its new flagship product today, the Nokia 7.1, and along with it, two new accessories: True Wireless earbuds and the Nokia Pro Wireless Earphones. The Nokia True Wireless Earbuds provide up to 3.5 hours of use time, are waterproof, and come with a case that can charge the earbuds up to three times (for a total of 16 hours of play time).

Both accessories can be used to take calls without your phone. Nokia is the latest brand to hop on wireless headphones, following in the steps of other companies like Apple, Google, and S... |
| Apple and Amazon explicitly deny claims that servers were compromised by Chinese chips Posted: 04 Oct 2018 12:54 PM PDT  Both Apple and Amazon are vehemently denying claims that their servers were compromised by Chinese spies following an explosive report from Bloomberg on Thursday. The report claims that spies were able to infiltrate some of the country's biggest tech companies by inserting microchips the size of "a grain of rice" into Chinese-manufactured servers, part of the tech giants' infrastructure. The report alleges that the companies discovered the chips on their own and notified US authorities, but both Apple and Amazon are refuting that any of the claims cited in the story are actually founded in reality. The responses are heavily detailed, denying the Bloomberg report point-by-point. It's something these companies rarely, if ever, do. Most... |
| Bird will start delivering electric scooters straight to people’s houses Posted: 04 Oct 2018 12:31 PM PDT  Bird is experimenting with a new concierge service, in which the startup will deliver a dockless, electric scooter straight to a person's house or place of employment upon request. Dubbed "Bird Delivery," the new service promises an electric scooter delivered to your door by 8AM. It's a sign that Bird wants to become synonymous with customer convenience as a dozen scooter companies jockey for position in cities across the US. Currently, Bird's normal dockless scooters are $1 to unlock (using an app) and then 15 cents for every minute of riding. There will most likely be a fee associated with the convenience of front-door delivery, but Bird isn't releasing any information about pricing as of yet. The selection of cities to pilot Bird... |
