| Headset legend Astro just made a $200 controller that’s as elite as they come Posted: 15 Nov 2018 04:45 PM PST  $200. That's a heck of a lot for a PS4 / PC gamepad, particularly when Sony's much-loved official DualShock 4 controller can often be found for just $40 on sale. But because this PS4 / PC gamepad comes from Astro — the acclaimed company behind the you-get-what-you-pay-for Astro A40 and A50 headsets — I immediately knew it would be worth some serious consideration. Astro has never sold its own gamepads before, but that hasn't stopped the brand from going all-out today: the new, officially Sony-licensed Astro C40 TR controller is arguably even more elite than Microsoft's Xbox One Elite, which itself raised the ceiling for gaming controller prices to a then-sky-high $150 back in 2015. (The Verge's Microsoft expert Tom Warren argued it was... |
| AT&T is launching a new app to manage parental control features Posted: 15 Nov 2018 02:58 PM PST  AT&T is sunsetting its parent control Smart Limits app and replacing it with a new app called Secure Family. The new app will be available November 26th, and includes new features like location tracking, time limits, and content filtering. The upgraded version lets users monitor up to 10 lines for $7.99 a month. Location tracking is more accurate, and parents can set up the app so they receive arrival and departure alerts when their child enters or leaves a location like their school. Parents can also prevent purchases from the App Store or Google Play, and filter content based on age-appropriate settings when the app is installed on the child's device. There's also time limits to make sure kids aren't spending too much time on their... |
| She-Ra’s showrunner on villains, heroes, and the show’s controversial design Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:59 PM PST  Noelle Stevenson has had a whirlwind career, and like so many other young artists these days, it started online. In 2012, while still a student in art school, she started Nimona, a goofy webcomic about medieval knights, mad science, and a hero-villain duo whose picture book rivalry was complicated by the introduction of a shape-changing teenager with a taste for havoc. Three years later, Nimona was a complete story, a dark, tragic fantasy published by HarperCollins that had a vocal and enthusiastic online fandom. Stevenson had graduated from college, interned at the comics company Boom! Studios Comics, co-created the ongoing Lumberjanes comic series, then moved into television writing, most notably on Craig McCracken's animated series W... |
| Amazon made a (RED) version of the second-gen Echo Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:56 PM PST  Amazon is offering the second-generation Echo in red, in support of Product (RED) and its humanitarian efforts to combat HIV / AIDS. Similar to the arrangement it first offered last year, Amazon will donate $10 to the charity for each red Echo sold. The specs are the same as any other second-generation Echo, except that it's covered in red fabric. It costs $99.99 and is available for preorder now, although it officially launches on December 5th. It's going to be discounted during Black Friday, though — down to $69, with $10 still going toward the charity — so that sounds like the better bargain. Amazon again joins Apple, one of the longest-running Product (RED) participants that has in previous years developed a special red iPhone 7 and... |
| TP-Link’s new smart outlet is actually an outlet — and that’s why it’s smart Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:56 PM PST  This summer, I replaced every single power outlet in my house with a tamper-resistant one. You do things like that when you've got a curious two-year-old. But I kind of wish I'd waited — because TP-Link is quietly making a smart outlet that could let me control my wall sockets with a tap on my phone. Or with Alexa / Google Assistant voice controls, which I personally prefer. I'm talking about the TP-Link Kasa KP200 Smart Wi-Fi Power Outlet, which just passed through the FCC's certification database this morning. It hasn't yet been formally announced, so we're not sure when (or even if) it'll arrive or what it'll cost, but the user manual shows that it's a genuine one-gang, two-socket, three-prong power outlet you can control with a... |
| Facebook will reduce reach of ‘sensationalist and provocative’ content Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:51 PM PST  Facebook is once again tweaking how stories spread through the News Feed, this time going after posts that are "sensationalist and provocative." The goal isn't just to cut down on clickbait, but to cut down on misinformation and problematic posts that don't quite warrant an outright ban on the site. In a blog post, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg writes that people naturally engage more with sensationalist content. Engagement with this content, he says, increases the closer it gets to being so problematic that it has to be banned. So instead of moving the line of what's banned, Facebook is going to alter its distribution algorithms. Posts that Facebook's AI detects as... |
| No one at Facebook seems to know who hired a DC opposition research firm Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:23 PM PST  One of the bigger bombshells in The New York Times' massive Facebook investigation published yesterday was that the company had hired an opposition research and consulting firm known as Definers Public Affairs, which it said had created deceptive news posts and pushed them onto a network of conservative websites. Now, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he has no idea who hired them. Definers was hired as part of a lobbying effort intended to counter mounting criticisms of Facebook over the past year. The firm's role, among other things, included circulating a document tying a prominent anti-Facebook group to financing from billionaire George Soros. Efforts to link liberal causes to Soros are a tactic often used by the alt-right and other... |
| PlayStation is skipping E3 2019 Posted: 15 Nov 2018 01:16 PM PST  PlayStation is officially skipping E3 2019, according to an announcement from Sony. This marks the first time in the 24-year history of E3 that the gaming giant won't attend the show, via Variety. In a statement released to Game Informer, Sony confirmed that it will be skipping the annual conference, commenting, "As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community. PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can't wait to share our plans... |
| Fox News is mad at Twitter for responding too slowly to Tucker Carlson doxx Posted: 15 Nov 2018 12:56 PM PST  It's been seven days since Fox News stopped tweeting. On air, the stories continue unabated, and Facebook, posts continue to appear. It's only the network's Twitter account — where it has more than 18 million followers — that's gone silent. About a day after Fox News went dark, reporters took notice and asked the obvious: why? It's an important question. Though Twitter doesn't rake in traffic for news outlets like Google or Facebook do, the platform is still prioritized by reporters because it drives conversation elsewhere due to the large number of influential people who use the social network to consume news. It's a distribution channel that matters. The answer to the question, according to many, can be found by way of an event that... |
| Kyocera’s new rugged phone has a sapphire screen and a fingerprint sensor Posted: 15 Nov 2018 12:45 PM PST  From the makers of the soap-proof, washable phone, comes another phone that's tough in a different way. The Verizon-exclusive DuraForce Pro 2 is Kyocera's newest rugged phone, and it comes with more features than your average rugged phone, which usually do the bare minimum of taking phone calls and pictures, but you could drop a boulder on it. Rugged phones these days like the DuraForce Pro 2 have a 5-inch sapphire shield display, a fingerprint sensor in the power key, and charges via USB-C and wirelessly. Things are different now. The DuraForce Pro 2 has three cameras: a wide-angle 4K rear action camera, a 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 5MP front-facing camera. There's a 3,240mAh battery, and it's IP68 certified to be waterproof and... |
