| Valve releases Steam Chat app for iOS and Android Posted: 21 May 2019 07:25 PM PDT  Valve has released a new standalone mobile app incorporating many of the chat features of its desktop client, which underwent a major refresh last year in an attempt to compete with Discord. The new mobile app, which is available for iOS and Android, includes rich chat features, group chats, customizable notifications, and more. Voice chat is a notable omission at present, though Valve says it's working on it. This is Valve's second major iOS app launch in less than seven days. Last week the long-delayed Steam Link app, which lets users beam Steam games from their desktop PC to an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, was finally approved by Apple after having been rejected almost a year previously. |
| Google stored some passwords in plain text for fourteen years Posted: 21 May 2019 04:16 PM PDT  In a blog post today, Google disclosed that it recently discovered a bug that caused some portion of G Suite users to have their passwords stored in plain text. The bug has been around since 2005, though Google says that it can't find any evidence that anybody's password was improperly accessed. It's resetting any passwords that might be affected and letting G Suite administrators know about the issue. G Suite is the corporate version of Gmail and Google's other apps, and apparently the bug came about in this product because of a feature designed specifically for companies. Early on, it was possible for your company administrator for G Suite apps to set user passwords manually — say, before a new employee came on board — and if they did,... |
| TikTok’s parent company ByteDance reportedly set to launch a music streaming service Posted: 21 May 2019 04:11 PM PDT  Additional sources are confirming that ByteDance, the company that owns TikTok, is in the process of developing a paid music streaming service, according to Bloomberg. There was talk of ByteDance developing such a music streaming app back in early April. At the time, sources told the South China Morning Post that the company planned to launch the service "soon" and that over 100 people were working on it. ByteDance's service is rumored to launch this fall with a focus on emerging markets. Exact territories aren't named, but Bloomberg says the company will target "mostly poorer countries where paid music services have yet to garner large audiences." There isn't much information about the app yet, except that it will offer a catalog of... |
| FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks talks Huawei and net neutrality on The Vergecast Posted: 21 May 2019 02:44 PM PDT  On this week's interview episode, Nilay is joined by Federal Communications Commissioner Geoffrey Starks and Verge policy reporter Makena Kelly, on the heels of the agency's recent announcement that it would likely approve the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint. Commissioner Starks couldn't say much about the proposed merger deal, but he had plenty to say regarding a host of other issues the FCC has the jurisdiction to chase. Starks was officially confirmed by the United States Senate at the beginning of the year to serve as an FCC commissioner in the Democratic minority. Starks has only been a commissioner for a few months, but he's already faced tough policy questions. Should Chinese telecommunications companies be allowed to operate in US... |
| Google is trying to eliminate misleading ads from anti-abortion clinics Posted: 21 May 2019 02:07 PM PDT  Google will now require organizations running ads about abortion to certify whether they actually offer abortions. Starting next month, those certifications will appear inside the ads, letting viewers know whether the organization "provides abortions" or "does not provide abortions," to prevent viewers from being misled. The disclosures will only be required in the US, UK, and Ireland. The change comes following last week's report in the Guardian saying that Google has provided grants to a group of pregnancy clinics that indicated they offered abortions, but were actually part of an anti-abortion group. Anti-abortion groups have commonly tried to mislead pregnant women by pretending to offer abortions or abortion resources, while in... |
| SpaceX’s Starhopper moves closer to its first flight Posted: 21 May 2019 01:19 PM PDT  SpaceX hopes to launch its Starhopper test vehicle skyward on its first flights soon. The short tests, which will take place out of SpaceX's launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, will send the rocket to just under 1,640 feet (500 meters) high for its low-altitude flights and up to 16,400 feet (5,000 meters) high for its high-altitude flights, according to a modified application filed with the Federal Communications Commission. The heights match those that the company indicated in a similar filing last year. The Starhopper is a very basic version of Starship, the massive passenger rocket that SpaceX wants to build to send people to the Moon and Mars. In order to prepare for the first Starship's flight to space, SpaceX has been tinkering with... |
| Apple is now selling an updated version of LG’s UltraFine 4K Display Posted: 21 May 2019 12:49 PM PDT  The only monitor Apple sells directly through its website lives on, despite questions about its survivability over the past few months. The company today resurrected the UltraFine 4K Display, the one made in partnership with LG, as a 23.7-inch model with two new Thunderbolt 3 ports (as well as three vanilla USB-C sockets) around back. It costs the same as the previous 21.5-inch model: $699. But this one takes a hit on resolution, dropping down to 3840 x 2160 from 4096 x 2304. That said, with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can now hook up an additional monitor or Thunderbolt 3 external drive if you like. Dedicated Apple blogs first noticed the product's revival yesterday when it began showing up unlisted on the company's online... |
| Comcast is reportedly developing a device that would track your bathroom habits Posted: 21 May 2019 12:23 PM PDT  Comcast is reportedly working on a device designed to closely monitor a user's health. That's according to CNBC, which says the conglomerate is set to begin piloting the product sometime this year before a full launch in 2020. Having one of the most powerful telecom empires in the world tracking your health and lifestyle sure has an unsettling, dystopian ring to it. "The device will monitor people's basic health metrics using ambient sensors, with a focus on whether someone is making frequent trips to the bathroom or spending more time than usual in bed," CNBC's report says. "Comcast is also building tools for detecting falls, which are common and potentially fatal for seniors." Many products on the market today already have the motion... |
| The PS4 Pro, iPad Pro, and other tech are significantly discounted at Google Express Posted: 21 May 2019 11:58 AM PDT  Memorial Day is coming up on Monday, May 27th, in the US. It's a day of remembrance, and, oddly, it's also one of the year's biggest shopping holidays. Google Express is driving that point home with its Memorial Day sale. Video game consoles, iPad tablets, and the latest MacBook Air are just a few of the things you can expect to see on sale. Unlike most sales, you don't need to worry about pasting in offer codes; each product page on Google Express will let you know which code works with it. You'll just need to make sure to click it to lower the price. Product sellers are also offering discounts of their own, and those get added on automatically. If you want to get a discount on more than one product: you can use one of these codes... |
| YouTube is changing how subscriber counts are displayed, possibly shifting its culture Posted: 21 May 2019 11:49 AM PDT  YouTube is introducing a major change to the way real-time subscriber counts are displayed, which could prevent analytics sites like Social Blade from actively displaying whether creators are gaining — or, more importantly, losing — subscribers. Instead of seeing a YouTuber's exact subscriber count (for example, 10,500,000), people will see a flat 10 million. This may not seem like a major change for people who aren't invested in the messy lives of YouTube creators, but for a culture reliant on active subscriber counts as a way of proving who's winning or losing when drama occurs, real-time subscriber counts are crucial. A blog post from YouTube's product team acknowledges that "subscriber counts are extremely important for creators,"... |
