| Epic Games sued over ‘predatory’ Llama loot boxes Posted: 28 Feb 2019 06:41 PM PST  Epic Games was sued today by the parent of an underage player in California who are claiming that Fortnite Save the World's original blind-draw loot box mechanics were unfair and deceptive to consumers. To be clear, Epic has already ended the practice of blind-draw loot boxes, and they only ever existed in Fortnite's original "Save the World" co-op mode, not the popular Fortnite Battle Royale mode that rocketed the game to fame. But the plaintiff is arguing that they — and hundreds of thousands of other players — were tricked out of their money by Epic's business practices. In the complaint, the plaintiff argues that the chances of a Llama loot box dropping a rare item are slim. They claim that by not disclosing the rates at which the... |
| Twitter says it’s building a feature that lets you hide replies to your tweets Posted: 28 Feb 2019 05:10 PM PST  Twitter announced today that it's building a new feature that would let users hide replies to their tweets. The feature, noticed first by expert software unpacker Jane Manchun Wong, would bring a drastic change to how users control the conversations they create on the platform. It wouldn't let a user permanently hide replies, but it would make those replies more difficult to see in the event the original conversation starter wanted to discourage bad-faith or otherwise unpleasant discussions around their tweets. "People who start interesting conversations on Twitter are really important to us, and we want to empower them to make the conversations they start as healthy as possible by giving them some control," explains Michelle Yasmeen... |
| Tesla’s controversial ‘full self-driving’ version of Autopilot is back Posted: 28 Feb 2019 04:15 PM PST  Tesla is bringing back its "full self-driving" feature, after removing the option from its website in October amid criticism the company was overstating the autonomy of its vehicles. The option is back on the menu as part of a shift in how the company markets its advanced driver-assist system Autopilot to its customers, coinciding with news of the company's new $35,000 Model 3 and its plan to move sales largely online. Starting today, Tesla is splitting Autopilot into two packages: regular Autopilot, with automatic steering on highways and traffic-aware cruise control; and Full Self-Driving Capability, with Tesla's recently unveiled "Navigate on Autopilot" feature that guides the car from "on-ramp to off-ramp" by suggesting and making... |
| HBO chief Richard Plepler is leaving the company amid AT&T restructuring Posted: 28 Feb 2019 03:07 PM PST  HBO chief and chairman Richard Plepler, who's been at the company for 27 years and held the role of CEO since 2013, is stepping down amid a broader restructuring at parent company AT&T, reports Variety. Plepler, who started at Time Warner in 1992, is a notable industry figure who's had a hand in HBO's biggest successes. He greenlit Game of Thrones, among other hit shows, and helped HBO establish both its HBO Go streaming platform and its direct-to-consumer HBO Now alternative. He is largely credited with helping the network both maintain its prestige television quality while adjusting its strategy toward the streaming landscape that's given rise to Netflix, Amazon, and other competitors. |
| Amazon’s press-to-order Dash buttons are officially discontinued Posted: 28 Feb 2019 02:53 PM PST  Amazon's Dash buttons are no more. The tiny stick-on buttons that allowed customers to quickly reorder popular household items with a press have been discontinued by the online retailer, as confirmed by CNET. Dash buttons were priced at only $5 and were available for a slew of brands spanning many categories — from paper towels and laundry detergent to condoms. They could be mounted wherever made the most sense, whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or any other spot where users might need a reminder to order more of something. Existing Dash buttons will continue to function "so long as the public keeps using them," CNET says. The company seems to believe that the smart home and its Alexa voice assistant have obviated the need for Dash... |
| Open letter from CEOs, politicians, and labor leaders asks Amazon to return to NYC Posted: 28 Feb 2019 02:50 PM PST  Amazon has said it's ending plans for a New York City headquarters, but a group of state officials, businesspeople, and union leaders are asking the company to stay. In an open letter set to be published in the New York Times tomorrow, the group will ask Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to reconsider the company's decision to abandon a new office in Queens. The letter was obtained in advance by the Times, which also reported that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been personally speaking with Bezos in an attempt to convince Amazon to return to its original plan. Some House lawmakers, as well as the CEOs of companies including Mastercard and Goldman Sachs, signed on to the letter. "As representatives... |
| The original Apple Pencil is down to $80 Posted: 28 Feb 2019 02:45 PM PST  The Apple Pencil that works with the sixth-generation iPad, as well as iPad Pro models released prior to 2018, is $20 off of its usual $99 price tag at Amazon, per MacRumors. At $79.88, it's a more affordable purchase if you've been wanting to use your iPad to jot down notes or practice drawing. Compared to more affordable styluses for the iPad, like Logitech's Crayon, the Apple Pencil offers pressure and tilt sensitivity, which makes it the better choice for those who want to get creative with it. If you want to know more about what the Apple Pencil is capable of, The Verge's resident comics artist Dami Lee put each of these devices to the test. The Apple Pencil 2 released alongside the 2018 iPad Pros handles charging in a more elegant... |
| Oculus won’t approve Quest games unless it thinks people will buy them Posted: 28 Feb 2019 02:41 PM PST  Oculus will enforce tight rules for publishing a game or app on the Oculus Quest, asking developers to demonstrate "quality and probable market success" on the upcoming virtual reality headset. In a blog post yesterday, publishing director Chris Pruett wrote that Oculus is setting the standard for Quest apps "higher than we've ever enforced before," compared to standards for the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, or Oculus Go. Pruett says the move will give Quest owners a consistently good experience, while preventing developers from sinking resources into games that don't sell. The Oculus Store already vets apps, but for the Quest, developers will need to provide a "concept document" before they can start the submission process. "We're... |
| Tesla will close most of its stores and only sell cars online Posted: 28 Feb 2019 02:24 PM PST  In a major shift, Tesla announced that it will only sell its vehicles online. The electric carmaker will close most of its stores over the "next few months" and lay off some retail employees. Tesla announced the move at the same time it said it will finally begin to sell its long-promised $35,000 Model 3. Customers who purchase their Teslas online will have up to a week to return the car if they aren't satisfied. In a call with reporters Thursday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he was confident that few customers would exercise this option. The move to e-commerce will help Tesla cut some operating expenses, as well as avoid dealing with local politics that have prevented it from operating its own stores in certain states including... |

The company is currently making multiple versions of a "Standard Range" Model 3 that can travel around 220 miles on a single charge.
