| Palmer Luckey is giving away free audio repair kits for Oculus Rift owners Posted: 18 Feb 2019 04:22 PM PST  It's not too often that co-founders, let alone co-founders that were quietly pushed out of the company they created, go out of their way to help their former employer with a product issue. But Palmer Luckey, who started Oculus VR and left parent company Facebook in 2017, is doing just that. In a blog post, Luckey says he's offering free audio repair kits to owners of the initial consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset, which suffers from a widespread audio cutout issue that Luckey says is caused by a "failure of the complex electromechanical assembly that gets audio from the Rift to your ears." The RR1 kit, for "Rift Repair One," took Luckey less than three hours to design, he says, but he went on to perform intensive testing using... |
| Android Q may change the back button to a gesture Posted: 18 Feb 2019 02:53 PM PST  Android's back button might be going away entirely, replaced with a quick swipe to the left from the home button. XDA Developers has been digging into a leaked, early set of code from the next version of Android, codenamed Q, and the latest discovery from those forays is this potential demise of the back button, as well as a quicker app-changing animation when you swipe to the right. The way that gestures and buttons work in Android 9 Pie (the current iteration, at least if you're lucky enough to own a phone that runs it) is a little bit split. Google's Pixel has just a home "pill" and then a back button appears only when it's needed. To multitask, you swipe up. Other phones running Android 9 have a more traditional three-button layout,... |
| Xiaomi is finally being more transparent about its see-through Mi 9 Posted: 18 Feb 2019 02:51 PM PST  Last year, Xiaomi released a cool-looking, transparent version of its Mi 8 phone, the Mi 8 Explorer Edition, which claimed to have a see-through back to reveal the internal parts of the phone. There was just one problem: the "parts" were fake, revealed to be just a cool-looking plate covering the real (and much less photogenic) parts. Today, Xiaomi announced that it'll be offering a similarly see-through Mi 9 Explorer Edition for the upcoming Mi 9, but there's one crucial difference: Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi has admitted that the inside "components" are just a thin, CNC-carved aluminum sheet that looks like a stylized version of the parts, via Android Police. It's a nice change on Xiaomi's... |
| Nissan concept uses recycled Leaf batteries to power camping trips Posted: 18 Feb 2019 02:35 PM PST  Nissan has sold more than 350,000 Leafs since the car debuted in 2011, and as they've aged, the company has thrown around a lot of ideas about how to recycle their batteries. The latest idea: a smart pop-up camper powered by old Leaf battery cells. The camper concept was developed in partnership with off-road camping manufacturer Opus. The Leaf-powered pack in the concept camper stores just 700wH, and has a maximum output of 1kW — a small slice of a typical Leaf battery, but still plenty to power all the electronics in the camper for a few days, including multiple USB sockets, LED lighting, a 4G hotspot, as well as the included portable microwave, dual-burner gas stove, and fridge. A 400W solar panel can recharge the battery pack in two... |
| Huawei founder speaks out: ‘The US can’t crush us’ Posted: 18 Feb 2019 02:29 PM PST  Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei basically just said his company is too big and too important to fail. In his first public interview since his daughter — Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou — was arrested in December, he tells the BBC that the US government's accusations and criminal indictments, including fraud and the theft of trade secrets, won't be enough to "crush" Huawei. "There's no way the US can crush us," he said. "The world cannot leave us because we are more advanced. Even if they persuade more countries not to use us temporarily, we can always scale things down a bit." Wanzhou was arrested in Canada at the request of US law enforcement, and the US is attempting to extradite her to stand charges here. Huawei has faced intense scrutiny in... |
| Instagram is testing a donation sticker in Stories Posted: 18 Feb 2019 02:16 PM PST  Instagram is experimenting with a potential donation sticker for its Stories feature, as spotted by app researcher Jane Manchun Wong. The feature seems similar to what Facebook offers with its fundraising and donation tools for charity or personal reasons. Based on Wong's screenshot, it looks like users will be able to search through a list of nonprofits to link directly to the sticker. Facebook has had fundraising tools since 2015, but it only recently dropped fees associated with those donations. It also offers other payment processing tools for Marketplace and Messenger. Over the past few years, Instagram has been experimenting with what payments would look like on the platform, but it has so far only released test features to allow... |
| Steven Spielberg is worried what the success of streaming means for theatrical films Posted: 18 Feb 2019 01:54 PM PST  Over the weekend, in a speech at the Cinema Audio Society's CAS Awards, director Steven Spielberg reminded listeners yet again that he's specifically dedicated to a theater-based cinematic experience as "a firm believer that movie theaters need to be around forever." Accepting the Filmmaker Award at the event, Spielberg said, "I hope all of us really continue to believe that the greatest contributions we can make as filmmakers is to give audiences the motion picture theatrical experience." Spielberg's comments may seem innocuous — there's nothing controversial about a director who's largely made his name on big, expensive Hollywood blockbusters stating that he likes big-screen movies and wants to see the format last — but his comments... |
| The best new Twitter bot is an endless game of Jeopardy where the winners are good at puns Posted: 18 Feb 2019 01:06 PM PST  Web artist Neil Cicierega has created a new bot that'll forever distract us on Twitter. His new Twitter account, @endlessjeopardy, creates "randomly generated clues" that fellow Twitter users can reply to with an answer. A new clue comes every hour. There's no correct answer, but whoever's response receives the most likes will win points. A bot keeps score, and it seems some users already have multiple wins. Here's a sample statement and the winning question.
The bot picks five winners per question, although each receives a different amount of points. People can lose points if they submit a winning response but don't phrase it as a... |
| Apex Legends is a better battle royale, but I’d rather hang out in Fortnite Posted: 18 Feb 2019 12:29 PM PST  Even though I've been playing Fortnite for the better part of a year, I still get surprised by the butterflies. There I am, running along the edge of a giant crater or sneaking through a dense forest, and some blue, fluttering wings catch my eye. I don't exactly stop and stare — that's too dangerous in a battle royale where everyone is out to kill you — but it's enough to capture my attention for a brief second, before I move on to explore other parts of the island. There's nothing similar to those charming butterflies in Apex Legends. Respawn's Titanfall-themed shooter stormed out of the gates when it launched two weeks ago, racking up 25 million players in seven days and regularly dominating the Twitch charts. Apex isn't the first... |
| Samsung Galaxy S10: all the news and rumors about the Unpacked event Posted: 18 Feb 2019 12:06 PM PST  We're two days away from Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on February 20th, but there's probably very little unpacking left to be done. Even Samsung admits that we already know what's coming, because we've seen so many leaks for the company's new flagship Galaxy S10 phones at this point that there's little left to the imagination. Heck, there's even a leaked video now that shows them in action. But the leaks don't make us much less excited, because they suggest Samsung is about to reveal a tremendous number of new gadgets, including a least three different versions of the Galaxy S10 — one of them a smaller Galaxy S10e model, and perhaps one with 5G cellular tech — plus the long-awaited Samsung foldable phone, and some truly wireless... |
