Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou had a MacBook, iPhone and iPad when she was arrested

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 06:16 PM PDT

The Huawei Matebook X Pro.

This is not a piece of serious news. I don't think it's a huge indictment that Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou — who's currently under house arrest in Canada while she fights extradition to the US — happened to be carrying a 12-inch MacBook, an iPhone 7 Plus, and an iPad Pro when she was taken into custody.

Because even though that's a matter of record now...

And even though it's a little bit...

Elon Musk says the SEC’s attempt to hold him in contempt is ‘virtually wrong at every level’

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 04:04 PM PDT

Elon Musk says the Securities and Exchange Commission is "virtually wrong at every level" for trying to hold him in contempt of court after he allegedly violated the settlement agreement the two sides reached last year. That claim was part of new arguments made Friday by Musk and his lawyers as part of a recent back-and-forth between the Tesla CEO and the federal agency.

The SEC asked a federal judge on February 25th to hold Musk in contempt because, the agency claimed, one of the Tesla CEO's tweets on February 19th may have violated language in the settlement. In the tweet in question, Musk said Tesla would make "around 500k" cars in 2018, which the SEC believed flew in the face of the official guidance from the company offered on...

Supernatural will end with its 15th season

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 03:58 PM PDT

The CW's supernatural series Supernatural will come to an end with its 15th season. The series follows brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester as they follow their father's footsteps in the "family business" — hunting down supernatural monsters. Since it premiered in 2005, the series has has garnered a massive fan following.

The CW renewed the series for its 15th season in January. In a video message on Twitter, Padalecki, Ackles, and co-star Misha Collins (who plays the angel Castiel) announced that the series would come to an end with its forthcoming season, and thanked the fans who have watched over the years. "We wanted you to hear from us that although we're excited about next year," Padalecki said, "it...

The Windows 10 calculator will soon be able to graph math equations

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 02:53 PM PDT

Microsoft is adding a graphing mode to the Windows 10 calculator. The company made the calculator open-sourced on GitHub earlier this month and has received over thirty suggestions from contributors so far, as spotted by ZDNet.

The graphing mode is the first open-sourced suggestion to be chosen. It was Microsoft engineer Dave Grochocki's idea, who suggested that students could use the graphing feature to study algebra. He pointed out that algebra is the stepping stone to more advanced mathematics and other science and engineering courses, but it's also a class that students in the US commonly fail.

A lot of basic calculator apps don't have a graphing feature, so the Windows 10 calculator might also be getting a leg up on...

Apple’s show time special event: what to expect from the TV and news service announcements

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 02:37 PM PDT

Apple CEO Tim Cook will take the stage at the Steve Jobs Theater on Monday to unveil two new subscription services for the company. One is a highly anticipated video service that will put Apple in direct competition with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and other streaming heavyweights — to some extent.

On March 21st, Recode reported that Apple's primary focus out of the gate will be simplifying subscriptions to services like HBO and Starz. Unlike now, where the TV app kicks you out to third-party apps to actually watch shows, Apple will be serving the streams for content from all of its partners directly inside the Apple TV app under this new approach. On March 22nd, The New York Times confirmed that HBO and CBS have agreed to be...

Pinterest files for IPO, but avoids calling itself a social network

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 02:00 PM PDT

The latest Silicon Valley company to file for an initial public offering is Pinterest, the San Francisco-based social network and image board that in recent years has built a large advertising and commerce business from its growing user base. The company, although it is still not profitable, says it earned more than $750 million in revenue last year, and it's cut its losses from nearly $200 million in 2016 down to just under $75 million annually. Pinterest says it was in fact profitable in the fourth quarter of 2018, but not profitable enough to get out of the red for the full calendar year.

The company, headed up by original co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann, plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. It joins ride-hailing...

Netflix tests a mobile-only plan in select countries that costs $3

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 01:00 PM PDT

Netflix is testing a new mobile-only subscription plan in "select countries" including India that would only cost $3.63 a month. That's half the cost of Netflix's Indian basic streaming plan, which covers all devices and costs $7.27 (INR500), as spotted by Variety.

Netflix told The Verge in a statement, "We are always looking for ways to make Netflix more enjoyable and accessible. We will be testing different options in select countries, where members can, for example, watch Netflix on their mobile device for a lower price and subscribe in shorter increments of time." That last part is intriguing, as it could mean that Netflix starts weekly or biweekly subscriptions instead of monthly plans.

Since it's a test,...

Netflix is experimenting with different episode orders for its new anthology show

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 12:54 PM PDT

When it comes to watching television, viewers typically watch everything in the same order — the show will either have a certain broadcast order, or its story will be such that watching it out of order would turn it into nonsense. With its new anthology series Love, Death + Robots, Netflix tried something new: testing out different episode orders to see which performed the best.

For such an anthology series, where each episode stands on their own, you don't have to worry about making sure that you're watching things in any particular order — there isn't one. But how you watch might change how you experience the episodes.

After viewers noticed episodes shifting from viewer to viewer, Netflix explained the discrepancy in a tweet. "We've...

Google Stadia wants YouTubers to play with fans, but that could leave creators open to attacks

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 12:49 PM PDT

Google wants its upcoming game-streaming service, Stadia, to up the ante for live-streamed games on YouTube, but Google didn't address the many ways its system could lead to harassment, demonetization, and other problems for creators

One of Stadia's most exciting developments for YouTube creators is "Crowd Play," a feature that allows creators to play games like NBA 2K19 with their viewers. It seems like a good idea on the surface, but Google's presentation didn't mention any potential harms that could come from Crowd Play. For just over an hour, multiple members of Google's Stadia team and YouTube's head of gaming, Ryan Wyatt, spoke about the benefits Stadia had for players and creators. Gaming is more seamless, Google Stadia chief Phil...

Study confirms AT&T’s fake 5G E network is no faster than Verizon, T-Mobile or Sprint 4G

Posted: 22 Mar 2019 12:47 PM PDT

AT&T's 5G E network isn't actually 5G. You probably knew that, but since we'll never get tired of dunking on it, a new study (via Ars Technica) now shows that 5G E isn't just misleading, it proves that AT&T's current 4G LTE speeds can actually be slower than other carriers who employ similar LTE Advanced and Advanced Pro technologies. Perhaps this is why AT&T is trying to sweep the lie under the rug.

The study by Opensignal measured and compared download speeds from AT&T's 5G E network to the results from other carriers' 4G LTE services. From Ars Technica:

OpenSignal data is based on crowdsourced speed tests that can be performed by anyone using OpenSignal's apps for iPhone and Android. OpenSignal told us today's report is based on tests...
