| Overcast introduces new clip-sharing feature Posted: 27 Apr 2019 12:39 PM PDT  Overcast is one of the best podcasting apps out there, and it's introducing a new feature that should make it even more useful to listeners: the ability to share clips of episodes to share online. The app's latest update allows users to converts an excerpt of a podcast into a short video, which can then be shared on social media, (or by email or text message). Developer and Overcast founder Marco Arment notes in a blog post that people have long been able to share podcast episodes, but that it's been a cumbersome process, and that it's easier to share a short video than it is an audio link. To share a clip in the app, click on the share icon in the top right-hand corner, and select the "Share Clip" option. That will bring you to the... |
| Apple has edged out a number of third-party screen time and parental control apps: report Posted: 27 Apr 2019 11:07 AM PDT  Following the introduction of Apple's iOS Screen Time feature, a number of app developers who created screen-tracking and parental control apps have been asked to change their products, or have been booted from the App Store completely, according to a new report in The New York Times. The Times says that "Apple has removed or restricted at least 11 of the 17 most downloaded screen-time and parental-control apps," as well as a number of others. The report cites users who point out that Apple's Screen Time app has some drawbacks that the popular third-party apps came with, like the ability to shut down certain apps, less-granular scheduling, and that children were able to work around Apple's web-filtering tools. They also pointed out that... |
| This live stream plays endless death metal produced by an AI Posted: 27 Apr 2019 11:00 AM PDT  Over the past month, an AI called Dadabots has been endlessly generating and streaming death metal on YouTube, as spotted by Motherboard. Made by musical technologists CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski, this algorithm is only one of many death metal algorithms the duo has developed over the years, with each one trained on a single artist's discography. The training method for Dadabots involves feeding a sample recurrent neural network whole albums from a single artist. The albums are split up into thousands of tiny samples, and then it creates tens of thousands of iterations to develop the AI, which starts out making white noise and ultimately learns to produce more recognizable musical elements. |
| Audible is turning William Gibson’s unfilmed Alien script into an audio drama Posted: 27 Apr 2019 10:28 AM PDT  Neuromancer author William Gibson famously wrote the script for a sequel to James Cameron's Aliens years ago, but was ultimately never filmed — we got Alien³ instead. Last year, Dark Horse Comics resurrected the script for a new comic book, and now, the script is getting another adaptation, this time as an audio drama from Audible. Gibson's Alien III is set after the events of Aliens, and picks up the story of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and what's left of the android Bishop, as they arrive in the territory of the Union of Progressive Peoples, a Soviet Union-like nation. They're boarded by the soldiers, and as one might expect, a face-hugger latches on to one of them, and everyone has to deal with an infestation of Xenomorphs. Gibson's script... |
| Virtual dress-up website settles with the FTC following data breach Posted: 27 Apr 2019 10:00 AM PDT  On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission settled a case with Onixiz, the owners of i-Dressup, an online flash game website dedicated to dressing up virtual dolls and designing clothes. According to the complaint, the website violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and risked its young users' data security. i-Dressup operated pretty much like any flash game website you remember from the early 2000s. It featured timeless classics like "Sexed-Up Style," "Floral Hats," and the "Feminine Ruffle," some of which you are still able to play on other dress-up sites that have apparently ripped the games and republished them. COPPA requires companies that... |
| FCC approves SpaceX’s plans to fly internet-beaming satellites in a lower orbit Posted: 27 Apr 2019 09:09 AM PDT  The Federal Communications Commission has approved SpaceX's request to fly a large swath of its future internet-beaming satellites at a lower orbit than originally planned. The approval was a major regulatory hurdle the company needed to clear in order to start launching its first operational satellites from Florida next month. In November, SpaceX sent a request to the FCC to partially revise plans for the company's satellite internet constellation, known as Starlink. Under SpaceX's original agreement with the commission, the company had permission to launch 4,425 Starlink satellites into orbits that ranged between 1,110 to 1,325 kilometers up. But then SpaceX decided it wanted to fly 1,584 of those satellites in different orbits, thanks... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 27 Apr 2019 09:00 AM PDT  With all of the Endgame hype, I decided to watch Infinity War for the first time this week. As someone who hasn't seen a lot of these movies, there was some confusing stuff. For example, why did Thanos wait so long if he could capture all of the Infinity Stones in, like, a day and a half? Where did this Vision dude come from? The thing that's the hardest for the movie is giving any of its characters due time to build out the actual problems they're facing (beyond the semi-destruction of the universe). The film is most effective when it comes to Tony, in large part due to a really quick pair of conversations with Pepper Potts that do a ton of heavy lifting to set him up for failure. Other characters don't quite get that level of attention... |
| Fire TV Edition 4K HDR TVs start at $199, and Google Home Hub is over $60 off Posted: 27 Apr 2019 08:00 AM PDT  Best Buy's four-day sale is concluding later today, but you still have a chance to save on 4K TVs with built-in Amazon Fire TV hardware, Sonos-ready outdoor speakers, and more. In case you needed a reminder of how affordable TVs have become, Insignia's 43-inch 4K HDR TV can play content from Prime Video out of the box, and it's $199.99 at Best Buy. If you want to go a bit bigger, Toshiba's 55-inch model is $249.99. Both of these TVs are over $100 off of the original price. Best Buy is also discounting Sonos and Sonance's weatherproof outdoor speakers. Usually $799.99 for a pair, this bundle is now $649.98 and also includes a Sonos Connect amplifier with purchase. The amplifier is required to power the speakers, and it also allows you to... |
| The US Army cut power to its largest military base to test reactions to a cyberattack Posted: 27 Apr 2019 07:11 AM PDT  Fort Bragg, the US Army's largest base issued an apology earlier this week following an unannounced exercise to see what would happen in the event of a cyberattack. The base lost power for 12 hours on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused some confusion and concern on the base. Army officials told the Charlotte Observer that the exercise was designed to "identify shortcomings in our infrastructure, operations and security," and wasn't announced to the public in order to "replicate likely real-world reactions by everyone directly associated with the installation." Power on the base went out around 10PM EST on Wednesday, and returned over the course of Thursday afternoon. Residents on the post reported some of the issues that the blackout... |
| To all the mutuals I’ve loved before Posted: 27 Apr 2019 07:00 AM PDT  A few years ago, I went to St. Louis for the first time to meet my friend Andrew who, until then, I'd only known through a group chat. I was there for his wedding, along with the other people in the chat, of whom I'd met about half. We spent our time in Missouri visiting local attractions, drinking beer, eating ice cream, and, of course, celebrating Andrew and Laura's happiness. Aside from the ceremony, what I remember most is feeling instantly comfortable with these people I'd only chatted with online. They were exactly who they seemed — not that I was especially nervous, because, come on, we live in the future now. There are many kinds of relationships you can have online: follower, fan, friend, and everything in between. (Reply guy?)... |
