| Netflix got Quentin Tarantino to turn a movie into a miniseries — should we expect more? Posted: 01 May 2019 06:14 PM PDT  Quentin Tarantino has brought an "extended version" of his controversial roadshow western The Hateful Eight to Netflix, but not the way you'd think. It's a miniseries composed of four 50-minute episodes, and reactions have been confused, to say the least. Why would a cohesive movie, one which already had six "chapters," be broken up into four? Now, Tarantino himself has spoken — and he tells Slashfilm that it's the experiment Netflix wanted him to produce:

| Amazon says fully automated shipping warehouses are at least a decade away Posted: 01 May 2019 04:28 PM PDT  The future of Amazon's logistics network will undoubtedly involve artificial intelligence and robotics, but it's an open question at what point AI-powered machines will be doing a majority of the work. According to Scott Anderson, the company's director of robotics fulfillment, the point at which an Amazon warehouse is fully, end-to-end automated is at least 10 years away. Anderson's comments, reported today by Reuters, highlight the current pace of automation, even in environments that are ripe for robotic labor, like an Amazon warehouse. As it stands today, robots in the workforce are proficient mostly at specific, repeatable tasks for which they are precisely programmed. To get the robot to do something else takes expensive,... |
| Valve’s hilarious Index dongle somehow makes VirtualLink complicated Posted: 01 May 2019 03:13 PM PDT  Valve's Index virtual reality headset is the first that can be plugged into VirtualLink, the USB-C port you'll find on most Nvidia RTX 2070 and greater Nvidia RTX 20-series graphics cards. But it only partially earns this distinction, as Valve's support for VirtualLink only goes as far as your willingness to buy a $40 dongle. The promise of VirtualLink is to reduce the amount of cables and connections between the headset and your computer. This dongle can help you tidy things up, since it reduces the Index's cable count and port requirement from three to one, all down to a single USB-C input that goes into your GPU. But turning VirtualLink into a dongle is a hilariously... |
| Qualcomm will get at least $4.5 billion from Apple as part of its patent settlement Posted: 01 May 2019 02:26 PM PDT  How much is an apology worth? Well, if you're Apple, it turns out the number is at least $4.5 billion, which is the amount that Qualcomm revealed in its Q2 earnings it will get from the settlement agreement between the companies, which had previously been embroiled in an ugly patent dispute for the past few years. The Apple / Qualcomm settlement was an unexpected shift that came early in the trial between the two companies. According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple had decided that Intel's modems (which Apple had been exclusively using in the interim due to its fight with Qualcomm) wouldn't be ready in time for a 5G iPhone, leading Apple to pony up the newly revealed sum of between $4.5 to $4.7 billion to make up with Qualcomm. That... |
| An Apple lobbyist just sneakily pushed California to postpone its right-to-repair bill Posted: 01 May 2019 01:52 PM PDT  Apple physically makes its products hard to repair in a wide array of ways, and this week may have brought proof that Apple is also fighting to keep pesky laws from challenging the status quo. It seems an Apple lobbyist has quietly managed to get California to postpone its right-to-repair bill until 2020 at the earliest, partly by stoking fears of exploding batteries should consumers attempt to repair their iPhones. As Motherboard first reported yesterday and The Verge's sources can corroborate, a lobbyist who works directly for Apple recently met with members of the California state Assembly's Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee, which was considering the bill. The lobbyist argued that consumers might hurt themselves if they... |
| Alaska will connect to the continental US via a 100-terabit fiber optic network Posted: 01 May 2019 01:23 PM PDT  Late last year, Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr got an "earful" from remote Alaskan residents who were concerned with how poor their access to the internet is — and they weren't wrong. Alaska has, on average, some of the slowest internet connections in the country, primarily due to its distance from the rest of the continental United States. But remote Alaskans may see faster speeds soon. MTA Fiber Holdings announced today that it would build the "first and only all-terrestrial" fiber optic network running from Alaska and into the Lower 48. The line will begin in North Pole, Alaska and will travel through Canada, connecting with Canadian carriers, where it will finally connect with "any major hub" in the US. A vast majority of... |
| Faraday Future is working with ‘a bankruptcy legend’ to stave off collapse Posted: 01 May 2019 12:57 PM PDT  Beleaguered electric vehicle startup Faraday Future is restructuring in order to survive. The company announced a new deal on Monday that could chart a path forward. The startup has been without a main financial backer for months, is unable to bring back hundreds of employees still on unpaid leave, and recently sold its own headquarters to generate cash. But its new path, financial experts tell The Verge, resembles an out-of-court bankruptcy. The would-be automaker announced that Chicago-based Birch Lake Associates will provide the startup with bridge financing, or a short-term loan, of "up to $225 million." Of that potential total, $75 million will come in the form of "senior secured" debt financing, meaning the loan from Birch Lake... |
| Epic buys Rocket League developer Psyonix, strongly hints it will stop selling the game on Steam Posted: 01 May 2019 12:42 PM PDT  Fortnite creator Epic Games announced today that it's acquired the independent game development studio Psyonix, makers of the massively popular vehicular soccer game Rocket League. As a result of the deal, Psyonix says it will have access to more resources to support Rocket League's competitive e-sports league and, by late 2019, will bring the game to Epic's PC storefront. After that, it sounds like Rocket League will no longer be available on Valve's competing Steam store, though buyers of the Steam version can continue to play their existing copy of the game indefinitely and continue to receive support, which Variety is reporting includes downloadable content, patches, and all other future content. Here's the bit that makes it sound... |
| Lyft loses effort to block NYC’s driver wage rule Posted: 01 May 2019 11:47 AM PDT  Lyft's effort to block New York City's first-in-the-nation minimum wage rules for drivers was blocked by a state judge Wednesday, according to Business Insider. Judge Andrea Masley ruled that Lyft's lawsuit, which was filed in January, was insufficient to overturn the rules that went into effect February. Under the law that went into effect in February, ride-hail companies must pay drivers at least $17.22 an hour after expenses. The pay formula uses a so-called utilization rate, which accounts for the share of time a driver spends with passengers in their vehicles compared to time spent idle and waiting for a fare. Lyft claims that it supports the spirit of the law to raise wages for... |
| Spotify tests placing podcast episodes alongside music recommendations Posted: 01 May 2019 11:21 AM PDT  Spotify is spending millions to become a major player in podcasting, and today we got a look at how it might begin promoting shows: by placing suggested episodes into algorithmically generated playlists. A test seen by The Verge shows several short podcast episodes placed alongside personalized music suggestions in a playlist meant for the drive to work. Spotify doesn't have a widely available podcast recommendation tool or offer curated podcast playlists right now, so this appears to be a look at what's to come. This year, Spotify plans to spend $500 million on acquisitions related to the podcast industry, and so far, it's bought podcast networks Gimlet Media and Parcast, as well as podcaster-oriented creation and hosting platform... |
