The Man in the High Castle will end with season 4, trailer reveals

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 05:39 PM PST

I think I've come to a realization — most of my current favorite TV shows are only still favorites because I'm waiting for them to come to what seems like an inevitably gruesome end. I'm a deer in the headlights, hoping that in a world where death and dismay is around every corner, the Game of Thrones cast might actually find their final rest; the handmaids in The Handmaid's Tale might permanently escape their torture and mutilation the only way that seems plausible; Westworld will see the robots triumph over humanity (yes I'm in that camp); and that Killing Eve might, well, it's right there in the title.

That's why I'm delighted to say that The Man in the High Castle will end after its fourth season, as you can see by watching this new...

Citroën’s tiny EV concept will be the ugly duckling at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 03:11 PM PST

French automaker Citroën announced Tuesday that it will debut something called the AMI One concept at the Geneva Motor Show next month. While this particular car show is known for attracting wild concepts and record-melting supercars, the little all-electric two-seater won't dazzle anyone with its specs: It has a top speed of 28 miles per hour and can only travel about 62 miles on a charge.

The point of the AMI One isn't that it will be the only car you ever need, or even one you lust after. Rather, it's supposed to bring the freedom of driving a car to those who might not currently have access. This happens in two ways. One, the car's low-speed ceiling allows it to be driven in some countries without a driver's license. Two, it should —...

That uranium ore found at a Grand Canyon museum isn’t as scary as it sounds

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 02:16 PM PST

Grand Canyon National Park

Since the news broke that three buckets of uranium ore sat in a Grand Canyon museum for years, alarm has been spreading about the radiation "cover-up." But it's tough to figure out exactly how dangerous the uranium truly was to visitors and staff.

The buckets had been sitting next to a taxidermy exhibit at the National Park Service's Grand Canyon Museum Collection, a location where groups of schoolchildren stopped on tours, according to The Arizona Republic. After a visitor with a Geiger counter discovered them, they were moved to a hallway, and eventually their contents were dumped in an old uranium mine, whistleblower Elston "Swede" Stephenson told The Arizona Republic. Stephenson did not reply to a message on LinkedIn; the museum told...

People are complaining that Spotify’s new interface buries the repeat button

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 02:11 PM PST

Spotify updated its interface last week, and people are upset. A new update has reorganized the mobile app's button layout, pushing the "Repeat" and "Go to queue" buttons into a submenu and making sharing a priority instead.

Before, the repeat and play queue were easily accessible on a song's now playing page, but now, if you want to get to those buttons, you've got to dive into the three-dot menu in the upper right-hand corner. What you will find front and center is a share option that appears both on the song's now playing screen and also in the submenu.

New Spotify interface.

Several Reddit threads are populated with irked users who view the changes as an annoyance, with complaints like: "Why on earth would they...

Apple is once again selling its iPhone SE — for now

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 01:18 PM PST

Last September, Apple officially stopped selling its iPhone X, iPhone SE, and iPhone 6S models, following the release of the iPhone XS and XR. MacRumors noticed that Apple quietly introduced the iPhone SE in its clearance section. Since then, each round of stock has sold out quickly, but if you're lucky, you can find one now.

Update February 19th, 4:19PM ET: The iPhone SE is back in stock once again in the clearance section of Apple's online store.

The 2016-era phone is available in 32GB and 128GB sizes, with $100 and $150 knocked off the price, respectively, in your pick of space gray, rose gold, gold, and silver colors. An unlocked iPhone that's in brand-new condition for $250 is a good deal, even if the design might seem tired for...

Why Foursquare refuses to sell user data

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 01:09 PM PST

On the latest episode of The Vergecast, Foursquare CEO Jeff Glueck discusses the ethics of companies that track their users' movements. The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel and Glueck talk through Foursquare's goal of helping its customers become less reliant on mapping companies like Google, and how responsibly managing a user's data and privacy is not only the right thing to do, but good for business.

You can listen to their discussion about the case for breaking up Amazon and Facebook in its entirety on The Vergecast right now. Below is a lightly edited excerpt from the interview.

Nilay Patel: You collect a lot of data. So do you ever think you're working across incentives? Are you working against your own self interest...

Fortnite dance lawyer claims someone impersonated him to derail copyright lawsuits

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 12:50 PM PST

A law firm claims that someone impersonated one of its attorneys in messages to the US Copyright Office, trying to sabotage lawsuits against Fortnite developer Epic Games. Pierce Bainbridge published a fake email supposedly sent under the name of attorney David Hecht, asking the office to reject all its copyright claims for dance moves — and confessing that "what my clients and I have done towards certain gaming companies were very wreckless [sic] and baseless."

Hecht is the lead attorney for several people who claim Epic unlawfully copied their dances as Fortnite emotes, including rapper 2 Milly; The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro; and most recently, the rapper BlocBoy JB. As part of the legal process, Hecht's applied to...

Trump signs new directive calling on Space Force to be part of the Air Force

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 12:27 PM PST

Today, President Trump signed his fourth space policy directive, this one aimed at creating the infamous Space Force he has been touting since last summer. However, the scope of the Space Force has been downsized. The new policy directive will make the Space Force a sixth branch within the US Air Force, rather than its own independent department.

Trump first directed the Department of Defense to establish the Space Force in June 2018 in a surprise announcement during a meeting of the National Space Council. At the time, he argued that the organization would be a new, sixth branch of the military. "We are going to have the Air Force and we're going to have the Space Force, separate but equal," Trump said at the time. "It is going to be...

AT&T is already trying to sweep its 5G E lies under the rug

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 11:44 AM PST

With all the nonsense about AT&T's fake 5G Evolution network out there, it's possible to forget that AT&T is actually building a real, standards-based 5G network, too. Fortunately, the cellular company has taken it upon itself to remind everyone about that in a new fact sheet that curiously forgets to mention its 5G Evolution network at all — almost like it isn't a real 5G network!

The fact sheet itself is a decent (if slightly AT&T-biased) look at the carrier's work in actual 5G development. And the information, like which cities it's (theoretically) available in and what devices the company has announced, does seem genuinely useful. You can certainly quibble over some of the milestones — was AT&T really "the first to make mobile 5G a...

Arrested Development will continue on Netflix on March 15th

Posted: 19 Feb 2019 10:24 AM PST

Netflix today revealed that Arrested Development, Mitchell Hurwitz's sitcom about an extended family of comically terrible people, will continue on March 15th. It's the first announcement confirming the release date for the second half of the show's fifth season. Episodes 1–8 of season 5 were released simultaneously on the service on May 29th, 2018, so it's been a long wait for the show to continue. Overall reactions to Netflix's revival of the show have been mixed to negative, and controversies centering on ensemble member Jeffrey Tambor dogged the show's 2018 release. That may help explain the long delay, if Netflix has been waiting for cultural tensions to ease somewhat before continuing the season.

Arrested Development originally...
