Dyson’s new ambient lamp promises to last up to 60 years and has a USB-C port built in

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 04:00 PM PDT

Alongside today's announcement of a new V11 cordless vacuum, Dyson also announced updates to its lighting and air purifier products. The first is the Dyson Lightcycle, its desk and floor lamp that can automatically adjust its lighting temperature based on ambient light or time of day. The high-end lamp also includes a scheduled lighting mode that gadgets like the new Casper Glow offer: you can now set wake and sleep times to gradually adjust as you prepare to rise or wind down.

Everything about the Lightcycle is as over-engineered as you've come to expect from Dyson products. It has a new control panel above the bulb (which Dyson claims can last up to 60 years) that uses touch-capacitive taps and slides to control the power, lighting...

Moto Mods aren’t dead yet, if this Moto Z4 leak is to be believed

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 02:40 PM PDT

Motorola's Moto Z4 phone has leaked, and while it isn't much of a surprise that the company would make a fourth iteration of its flagship Android phone, it's the first indication we've seen that its Moto Mod initiative may still be alive and kicking — because you can clearly see the copper contacts for its modular Moto Mods accessories on the back of this alleged phone.

The release of new Moto Mods has slowed over the past couple years, so much so that it was unclear if the initiative had a future. After all, the last big wave of new Mods came along with 2017's Moto Z2 Play. Since then, a promising fold-out keyboard developed by a third-party company was canceled in 2018. In an interview with Engadget at the time, Motorola insisted that...

Faraday Future just sold its headquarters to help keep the company alive

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 02:22 PM PDT

Faraday Future has sold its Los Angeles headquarters in a move to help fill the EV startup's exhausted coffers, according to property documents obtained by The Verge. A subsidiary of New York-based real estate firm Atlas Capital purchased the headquarters on March 8th and immediately began leasing the building back to Faraday Future for an undisclosed amount.

The documents did not reveal how much Faraday Future received in the sale of its headquarters, which consists of two buildings just off of South Figueroa Street in the city of Gardena, California, about 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles. One former employee familiar with the sale pegged the number at around $10 million. It could be higher; Faraday Future took a $17 million loan...

Today’s AirPods launch underscores Apple’s latest AirPower misfire

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 01:52 PM PDT

Today, Apple finally announced its second-generation AirPods, most notably adding wireless charging to the popular headphones. Apple is even selling the wireless charging case separately, so that existing AirPod owners can join in the fun. The move brings Apple in line with its main competitors, whose phones and earbuds support similar Qi charging functionality, but there was one piece missing: Apple's long-absent AirPower charger. If there was ever a moment to re-announce AirPower, this was the moment — instead, it's a missed opportunity for Apple.

Back when Apple first announced the AirPower charger in 2017 (alongside the iPhone X), it was presented as an elegant, Apple-like solution to the present...

AT&T and Comcast announce system to combat robocalls

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 01:45 PM PDT

AT&T and Comcast are partnering to authenticate calls made between the two networks, letting customers know when there's a genuine caller — not a spammer — on the phone. It won't cover every call AT&T and Comcast customers receive, but it's a step in the right direction to battling the scourge of robocalls.

AT&T says the deal is likely the "nation's first" to authenticate calls between two providers through the SHAKEN/STIR (which stands for "Secure Handling of Asserted information using toKENs" and "Secure Telephony Identity Revisited") protocol. The protocol lets consumers know when a call they're receiving is actually being placed by the displayed number listed on caller ID. AT&T and Comcast said they hope to have the system up and...

Anesthesia can help patients forget a disturbing memory

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:35 AM PDT

Giving patients an anesthetic can help them forget a disturbing memory, according to research published today in the journal Science Advances. It's the latest study to investigate the conditions that might prevent memories from sticking, and it could be a step toward finding a technique that helps people deal with harmful memories related to anxiety, trauma, or addiction.

Researchers showed 50 participants two different and unpleasant narrated slideshows. One was about kids being kidnapped, and the other was about a car accident, according to study author Ana Galarza Vallejo, a neuroscientist at the Technical University of Madrid. One week later, the scientists "reactivated" memories of only one of the slideshows by showing participants...

Stadia is about the future of YouTube, not gaming

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:12 AM PDT

Yesterday, Google announced plans for a new game-streaming service called Stadia. Besides the logo, the controller, and a single game — Doom Eternal — the announcement left us with more questions than answers. Primary in my mind has been the query of why Google needs to be in the gaming business at all. Isn't it enough to dominate web search, ads, and browsers, smartphone operating systems, and maps? What part of our lives does Google not want to know about? And then it dawned on me that we might be looking at it from the wrong perspective: what if Stadia isn't a case of Google aggressively entering a new business sphere, but rather a defensive one to protect its existing kingdom?

YouTube has a practical monopoly on user-generated video...

AT&T CEO interrupted by a robocall during a live interview

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:02 AM PDT

At an Economic Club event in Washington, DC today, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson was interrupted on stage by a robocall, pausing an interview in front of dozens of people and driving home that absolutely no one is safe from the spam epidemic.

Over the past few months, regulators at the Federal Communications Commission have been feeling the pressure from lawmakers and consumers who are urging them to put an end to the relentless onslaught of robocalls people receive every day. Last year, consumers received over 26.3 billion of these scammy calls and the problem only appears to be getting worse.

"I'm getting a robocall, too," Stephenson said during the Economic Club event, ultimately declining the call on his Apple Watch. "It's literally a...

Facebook is adding quoted replies to Messenger conversations

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 10:36 AM PDT

Facebook is updating Messenger today with a new feature: the ability to quote and reply to specific messages in a conversation, making it easier to keep track of things (especially in larger group chats), as reported by VentureBeat.

The feature comes as an expansion of the company's existing reaction emoji. Now, when you hold down on an individual message, in addition to simply adding a reaction, you'll be able to reply with a new "reply" button, which will attach a quoted version of the original message to your response. The quoted messages aren't quite their own message threads — they'll still appear in line with the rest of the chat, but it seems useful enough.

It's a pretty straightforward feature that fellow Facebook-owned...

Quantic Dream is bringing PlayStation games like Detroit and Heavy Rain to Epic’s PC store

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 10:30 AM PDT

<em>Detroit: Become Human</em>.

Over the past decade, French studio Quantic Dream has become closely associated with the PlayStation platform, thanks to games like Detroit: Become Human and Beyond: Two Souls. But now, the developer is expanding its reach to the PC, and it's starting with Epic's new game store.

Today, Quantic announced plans to bring its three latest games — Detroit, Beyond, and Heavy Rain — to Epic's digital shop as timed exclusives for a year after launch. The move comes not long after Chinese internet giant NetEase invested in Quantic Dream with the goal of reaching a larger global audience. Both announcements represent a dramatic shift for the studio.

"David Cage and I have planned the next evolution of Quantic Dream very carefully," Guillaume de...
