| Disney reportedly in talks to buy AT&T’s stake in Hulu Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:33 PM PST  Disney is close to owning a majority stake in Hulu, and now the company is reportedly looking to expand that by acquiring AT&T's 10 percent stake in the streaming service. Disney is in active talks with AT&T to buy its stake in Hulu, according to Variety. The sale would reportedly net AT&T close to $1 billion and give Disney up to a 70 percent ownership in Hulu. Disney already owns 30 percent of Hulu, and it's in the process of acquiring 21st Century Fox, which owns another 30 percent. AT&T executives have talked about a sale in past, announcing in a conference last November that the company was interested in selling its minority stake. WarnerMedia, now owned by AT&T, is gearing up to launch a standalone streaming service of its own. |
| Today’s floods in California may be a preview of a more extreme future Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:02 PM PST  A storm in northern California dumped so much water on the region that roads turned into moats, isolating two California towns. It's the kind of storm that experts project might become more extreme as climate change continues — which could mean a future of even worse flooding for California. Over the past few days, parts of northern California have been drenched with record levels of rain. North of San Francisco, the Russian River rolled over its banks to surround the Sonoma County towns of Guerneville and Monte Rio, The Press Democrat reports. Yesterday, thousands of people were told to evacuate. By today, it was too late for some: "Guerneville is officially an island," the Sonoma County sheriff announced on Facebook. "You will not be... |
| Fortnite dance lawsuits are bad for copyright and bad for culture Posted: 27 Feb 2019 02:52 PM PST  Fortnite is one of the most popular and profitable video games in history, and its publisher Epic is copying creative work from children and independent artists without paying them. So it's not surprising that seven people have sued the company, claiming Epic broke copyright law by turning their dance moves into Fortnite emotes. These suits are exploring interesting new legal territory. But if they succeed, it could be bad for dance, bad for copyright, and bad for the culture these lawsuits are ostensibly trying to protect. For anybody who's not familiar with Fortnite, emotes are short avatar animations that players can buy or earn. Like other cosmetic in-game items, they're often fun because they're familiar. You can get generic... |
| ‘Thunderclap’ vulnerability could leave Thunderbolt computers open to attacks Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:43 PM PST  A team of researchers has revealed a new security vulnerability in the Thunderbolt data transfer specification called "Thunderclap" that could leave computers open to serious attacks from otherwise innocuous USB-C or DisplayPort hardware. As researcher Theo Markettos explains, Thunderclap takes advantage of the privileged, direct-memory access (DMA) that Thunderbolt accessories are granted to gain access to the target device. Unless proper protections are put in place, hackers can use that access to steal data, track files, and run malicious code. It's the sort of OS-level access that accessories like GPUs or network cards are typically granted. Because Thunderbolt is designed to replicate those functions externally, it requires the... |
| TikTok stops young users from uploading videos after FTC settlement Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:04 PM PST  TikTok will no longer allow children under 13 to upload videos, leave comments, build a profile, or send messages, after a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission today required the company to come into compliance with a federal children's privacy law. The changes take effect today for all new and existing TikTok users, who are now being prompted by the app to enter their birthday. Some users have reported that their accounts and videos have been deleted without warning after inputting a birthdate that would make them younger than 13. TikTok agreed to pay $5.7 million to the FTC today to settle accusations that it was in violation of COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy... |

| USB 3.2 standard gets new, even more confusing names ahead of its mainstream debut Posted: 27 Feb 2019 12:49 PM PST  First, the goods news: USB 3.2, the upcoming specification that the USB Implementers Forum announced back in 2017, is finally coming out this year. The bad news is that the group has also brought with it a slate of new names not only for the new standard, but also for the old versions of USB 3.0, too. Here's how it all breaks down:

| Moderating content doesn’t have to be so traumatic Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:33 AM PST  Lasting trauma doesn't necessarily have to be in the job description for workers who watch graphic or violent videos as part of their jobs. Content moderators, journalists, and activists often have to wade through horrific images, videos and text to do their work, a task that can imperil their mental health and lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. Luckily, experts say there are ways to minimize the harms of so-called vicarious or secondary trauma. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is caused by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying incident, and the symptoms include acute anxiety, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts. Though most people think about PTSD in the context of war or being physically involved with a crisis, in recent... |
| Motorola confirms its foldable phone is coming, and it could look like a RAZR Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:28 AM PST  Following reports that Motorola would, too, get into the folding smartphone scene, the company today confirmed in an interview with Engadget that it is working on a folding device that would launch "[no] later than everybody else in the market." That puts Motorola's timeline at sometime this year at the latest, with Samsung due to launch its Galaxy Fold in April and Huawei's Mate X in mid-2019. Motorola usually holds an annual smartphone launch event around August. That time last year, it announced its 5G-ready Moto Z3 with the 5G Moto Mod, so we'll likely get a glimpse at Motorola's take on foldable screens this summer. The Engadget interview also confirms that the design would not feature a full-sized screen on the outside of the... |
| Save hundreds on LG OLED 4K TVs, while Sling TV subscriptions are 40 percent off Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:21 AM PST  Today's best deals include the lowest prices we've seen on LG OLED 4K HDR televisions, as well as significant discounts on Sling TV subscriptions, and more. To make room for the new LG televisions that debuted at CES, the company's OLED televisions from 2018 have been falling in price. The 55-inch LG B8 4K HDR TV is down to $1,099.85 at Walmart (this is $200 less than the best price we saw during Black Friday) and the 65-inch version of the same TV is $1,799, also at Walmart (beating the lowest price we've seen by $300.) Sling TV is offering 3-month subscription packages for far less than usual. The Orange and Blue channel packages are each discounted to $15 per month (usually $25 per bundle) or if you want more channels... |
