| Today’s your last chance to save old Flickr photos from an untimely death Posted: 04 Feb 2019 05:27 PM PST  Tomorrow — February 5th, 2019 — is the day that Flickr will stop offering 1TB of free storage. Instead, the company will only let users store 1,000 photos for free. And if you've got more than 1,000 photos, the company will start deleting them. That means that today, now, maybe even this very moment, is your last chance to cough up $49.99 per year for a Flickr Pro account to avoid imminent deletion. Or perhaps just download your photos from Flickr to a hard drive (here's how) and upload them somewhere else. (I use Google Photos, but to each their own.) If you're an avid photographer, chances are you've already backed up your originals. (Flickr's been warning about this change for months now.) And Flickr previously said more than 97... |
| Thor: Ragnarok director won’t replace James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Posted: 04 Feb 2019 04:35 PM PST  Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi confirmed today he will not take on Guardians of the Galaxy 3, defending former director James Gunn and referring to it as "James' film." Waititi was rumored to be the front runner director to replace Gunn on the project, following the latter's firing by Disney and Marvel Studios in July 2018. Gunn was fired after a series of offensive tweets were resurfaced by far-right personality Mike Cernovich. The Guardians of the Galaxy cast asked Disney and Marvel Studios at the time to reconsider their decision, especially following backlash from press over the move, but nothing came of it. Waititi, who appeared before the Television Critics Association today to talk about his upcoming FX series, What We Do... |
| Gavin McInnes is suing the SPLC for defamation Posted: 04 Feb 2019 03:28 PM PST  It was nearly 70 degrees F and cloudy in Montgomery, AL this afternoon, when Gavin McInnes — one of the founders of Vice, and more recently the founder of the violent right-wing extremist group the Proud Boys — walked up to a small PA system in front of the headquarters of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and began to speak about how the legal advocacy nonprofit had ruined his life. "It's a dangerous precedent to set. Because what they do is, they cast this wide net of 'everyone's a Nazi' and they start destroying lives," McInnes said, after accusing the anti-hate group of changing their mission after raising money to expand their operations. "In a way, the SPLC is terrorizing people by telling them we live in Nazi America." What... |
| Google hired microworkers to train its controversial Project Maven AI Posted: 04 Feb 2019 03:17 PM PST  According to a new report from The Intercept, Google hired gig economy workers to help build out a controversial artificial intelligence program that the company had paired with the Pentagon to build. The workers were hired through a crowdsourcing gig company outfit called Figure Eight, which pays as little at $1 an hour for people to perform short, seemingly mindless tasks. Whether the individuals were identifying objects in CAPTCHA-like images, or other simple tasks, the workers were helping to train Google's AI that was created as part of a Defense Department initiative known as Project Maven. Project Maven is a Pentagon project intended to use machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to differentiate people and objects... |
| Samsung Galaxy Sport leak shows a sleek bezel-less smartwatch Posted: 04 Feb 2019 03:00 PM PST  Samsung is due to refresh their wearable lineup, along with their Galaxy S flagship smartphones, at their upcoming Unpacked 2019 event. Leaked image renders posted by 91Mobiles show a new wearable, purportedly named the Galaxy Sport. Like the Galaxy Watch before it, the Galaxy Sport will be aimed at outdoors enthusiasts, with some unspecified degree of water resistance. Yet perhaps the most interesting element of this new wearable is its complete lack of rotating bezel. In standard Samsung wearables, the bezel around the screen is used as a scroll wheel between apps and within them. According to the leaked renders, however, the Galaxy Sport instead uses two circular buttons with a round dial to control the watch's functions. Hopefully,... |
| Honda covered a lawn mower, power generator, and some cars in gold Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:53 PM PST  Honda marked its 50th anniversary in Australia today, and to celebrate, the company wrapped some of its most iconic products in gold vinyl, including cars, motorcycles, dirt bikes, a lawn mower, and a power generator. More specifically, it gilded a Civic Type R hot hatchback, the Acura NSX hybrid supercar, a HRU19 Buffalo lawn mower, EU22i generator, CBR1000RR Fireblade motorcycle, CRF450L dual-sport dirt bike, and a CRF50F kids motorbike, for the little ones who enjoy luxury. Unfortunately, these are one-off items made specially for the anniversary, so they won't be on sale. "We thought about how we could celebrate our birthday and our unique diversity in a bold and fun way," Honda Australia CEO Hiroyuki Shimizu explained in a... |
| Firefox will mute autoplaying videos by default starting next month Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:47 PM PST  Autoplaying video is the scourge of the internet, and Mozilla is going to do its part to help stomp it out in the upcoming Firefox 66, which will automatically mute any autoplaying video unless the user actively clicks the play button, via TechCrunch. As detailed in the blog post announcing the new block, Mozilla is defining autoplaying video as "any playback that happens before the user has interacted with a page via a mouse click, printable key press, or touch event," and notes that it'll be blocked unless explicitly allowed by a user. Users will also be able to manually allow sites to autoplay, allowing sites like YouTube (where most people tend to want the video they've... |
| Apple HomePod is $70 off, plus Anker and Echo discounts at Amazon Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:41 PM PST  The Apple HomePod is $70 off of its usual price at both Best Buy and B&H Photo. Normally $349.99, it's $279.99 until supplies last. We've seen this device for as low as $249 during Black Friday, so this may be the best discount we see for some time on the smart speaker, which Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel said sounded "immediately, obviously better than other speakers" in his full review. Also, just for today, Anker has cut prices on a few of its accessories at Amazon. There's a lot on sale, but the most notable discounts make its PowerWave wireless charging pad and stand quite a bit cheaper. Both regularly go for $25.99, but the pad is $16.99, while the stand is $17.99 once you clip the coupon on the product page or at checkout. As... |
| Alphabet spent more than $1.3 billion last quarter on ‘other bets’ like Loon and Waymo Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:37 PM PST  Google parent company Alphabet continues to invest heavily in its quest to figure out the future. In its most recent quarterly earnings report, the company said it incurred a more than $1.3 billion operating loss in its "Other Bets" category, the collection of divisions that includes its experimental X lab, its internet group Access, its LTE balloon initiative Loon, its drone delivery project Wing, and its self-driving car unit Waymo, among other groups focused on health sciences and investment. It's not immediately clear where a majority of those losses are coming from. Now that Loon, Waymo, and Wing are all separate businesses that have been spun out of X, costs for each of those companies may be increasing in the short-term as... |
| Extreme E series will race electric cars in climate change-affected areas Posted: 04 Feb 2019 02:22 PM PST  All-electric racing series Formula E announced plans to sprout another EV series called Extreme E last week. The new green racing series will focus on electric cars that more closely resemble the ones we drive every day, though they'll compete in intense conditions in locations around the globe that are being threatened by climate change. It's easily Formula E founder Alejandro Agag's wildest idea yet. The new series' first season will kick off in 2021. It will feature 12 teams, and the races will pit two drivers against each other in a head-to-head, "round robin" style tournament in each location. The cars will be custom built for the series on tech that's similar to Formula E's, but with the ability to make them look like a... |
