| Facebook blocks third-party tools that collect information on political ads Posted: 28 Jan 2019 05:07 PM PST  Facebook has moved to block third-party ad transparency tools used by nonprofits and news organizations, although the company claims its efforts are aimed at preventing malicious actors from scraping user data and not intended to punish critical reporting on its platform. The company has done so by inserting code that prevents the use of web plugins that automate the collection of information from the social network, according to ProPublica, which has been leading the investigative reporting around political ad buying and ad-based discrimination on Facebook for more than two years. ProPublica operates a searchable database, called the Facebook Political Ad Collector, that displays information about more than 120,000 political ads thanks... |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2019 04:43 PM PST  There's a serious bug in Apple's FaceTime video calling platform that has been bouncing around some corners of social media today, and that 9to5Mac just alerted us to: you can call somebody via FaceTime and listen to their phone's microphone regardless of whether the person you're calling picks up. Reached for comment, an Apple spokesperson said "We're aware of this issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week." The Verge has just independently confirmed that it works using two iPhones running 12.1.2 in our office. Here's how it goes: you begin calling somebody via FaceTime Video from within the Phone app. Before that person picks up, you can swipe up to add your own phone number to the... |
| Bluetooth will get even more accurate at finding your lost gadgets Posted: 28 Jan 2019 02:39 PM PST  The group behind the Bluetooth standard says it's developed a new feature that'll allow companies to track items down to the centimeter. The group is combining Bluetooth's existing object-tracking tech with another technology, radio direction, in order to get the precise measurements. This could radically change tracking technology, like Tile's solution for locating lost objects. Right now, Bluetooth systems track items by measuring their signal strength — but they have a wide accuracy range of one and 10 meters. Now, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group is adding the ability for gadgets to know exactly what direction a signal is coming from, not just its distance, to make that measurement more exact. With this feature turned on,... |
| US accuses Huawei CFO of fraud and company of stealing from T-Mobile Posted: 28 Jan 2019 02:11 PM PST  The United States Justice Department has charged Huawei with a series of federal crimes, the latest turn in an American crackdown on the embattled tech company. In one of two indictments unsealed today, Justice Department prosecutors accuse Huawei employees, including chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, of fraud. According to prosecutors, Huawei misrepresented its relationship with an Iranian affiliate, allowing it to continue its work with banks and officials despite American sanctions. The Department has also accused Huawei of violating the law by stealing intellectual property from T-Mobile. According to prosecutors, Huawei violated confidentiality agreements with T-Mobile by stealing information on — and... |
| Ireland is questioning Facebook’s plan to merge Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp Posted: 28 Jan 2019 02:07 PM PST  Facebook's plans to merge WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger are drawing the scrutiny of European data watchdogs. The New York Times first broke plans of the merger on Friday. The Irish Data Protection Commission is asking Facebook for "an urgent briefing on what is being proposed." The commission, which regulates Facebook in the European Union, says it understands that the company's plans are still in initial development and haven't materialized yet. Still, the commission says it will be seeking "early assurances" that the plans will comply with the GDPR, the European Union's far-reaching privacy regulation. In 2016, Facebook attempted to share personal user data gathered by WhatsApp with the larger business, but the plan was... |
| Apple now requires app subscriptions to show the full cost before signup Posted: 28 Jan 2019 01:25 PM PST  Apple updated its App Store guidelines last week to lay out clear rules for how developers should present in-app subscription options to users. The changes were spotted by 9to5Mac, and it appears Apple is trying to clear up a lot of the confusion that comes with downloading an app and signing up for a recurring subscription. The new rules can be found in the Human Interface Guidelines and App Store documentation on auto-renewable subscriptions, and they speak to how developers must clearly present the real prices users will have to pay up front. The example apps shown below adhere to Apple's guidelines that "the amount that will be billed must be the most prominent pricing element in the layout." Alternatively, promotional pricing,... |
| Rep. Ocasio-Cortez rips into Facebook, Google, and Microsoft on climate Posted: 28 Jan 2019 12:34 PM PST  On Monday, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) asked the heads of Facebook, Google, and Microsoft to pledge their companies' support for the science suggesting that climate change has made a significant, negative impact on the environment. The lawmakers penned the letter after news broke last week that the companies sponsored a conference, LibertyCon, which promoted climate change denialism. At the libertarian-focused conference, a speaker from the CO2 Coalition gave a talk arguing that the environmental impact of climate change has been exaggerated. "We are encouraged that each of you have pledged to reduce your carbon footprint and have committed other efforts like pursuing renewable energy," the two... |
| NY state senator calls on Google to remove conversion therapy app Posted: 28 Jan 2019 12:15 PM PST  Google's Play Store is currently hosting a gay conversion therapy app from a religious group called Living Hope Ministries. The app gives users access to recordings of sermons, text devotionals, and at least one podcast; there's a section for "help," which appears to mostly contain stories telling gay readers that their sexuality can be ignored or changed. For New York State Senator Brad Hoylman — whose bill prohibiting conversion therapy in New York was recently signed into law, and who represents the district where Google has its New York City headquarters — that's unconscionable. "Google [is] planning to have about 7,000 employees in our Senate district, so I would urge them to remove the app post-haste," he says. "I'm hopeful that... |
| Nvidia cuts Q4 revenue projections by $500 million Posted: 28 Jan 2019 11:46 AM PST  Nvidia warned investors today that it expects much weaker sales, thanks to China's weakened economy and slipping demand from cryptocurrency miners. Nvidia says it likely made $500 million less than previously expected during the last financial quarter — $2.2 billion in revenue as opposed to $2.7 billion. Nvidia previously foresaw that it would do worse in Q4 thanks to a lack of demand from cryptocurrency miners, as prices of digital coins have largely rendered mining unprofitable for most except the largest and most efficient of organizations. Earlier in 2018, Nvidia had stocked up on excess inventory following the cryptocurrency boom, foreseeing a lot of demand from consumers. That lines up with the reports that GPU prices were... |
| AirBuddy is a sleek Mac app that helps you connect AirPods to your computer Posted: 28 Jan 2019 11:39 AM PST  Apple's AirPods are arguably the simplest and most seamless wireless earbuds on the market — at least for iPhone owners. That's primarily because of the custom W1 chip that helps them communicate with iOS devices and establish near-instant Bluetooth connections. Yet the process for connecting AirPods to your Mac can be notably more annoying, often requiring a cumbersome amount of tinkering with the Bluetooth drop-down menu and sometimes even demanding that you turn Bluetooth off and on again to establish a link. AirBuddy, a new app from 9to5Mac writer and developer Guilherme Rambo, aims to solve that problem by offering a clean and simple one-click interface for connecting your AirPods to your Mac. The software, available for as little... |
