| Poland has filed a complaint against the European Union’s copyright directive Posted: 25 May 2019 02:26 PM PDT  Poland has officially challenged the European Union's recently-approved controversial copyright directive, according to Reuters, saying that the legislation would bring unwanted censorship. The country filed its complaint yesterday with the the Court of Justice of the European Union. Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski said that the "system may result in adopting regulations that are analogous to preventive censorship, which is forbidden not only in the Polish constitution but also in the EU treaties." Polish MPs predominantly rejected the measure (Two abstentions, eight for, 33 against, six no-votes, and two missing) when it was voted on. |
| An astronomer captured SpaceX’s recently-launched StarLink satellites on video Posted: 25 May 2019 12:37 PM PDT  Earlier this week, SpaceX successfully launched its first 60 StarLink satellites into orbit around the Earth. An amateur astronomer in the Netherlands caught sight of them orbiting Earth after deployment, and captured the scene on video. Astronomer Dr. Marco Langbroek noted on his blog that he calculated where the satellites would be orbiting, and waited with his camera. The result is a spectacular one: a string of bright dots flying across the sky, prompting some people to report that they saw UFOs. Langbroek shot the video with a "WATEC 902H low-light-level surveillance camera, equipped with a Canon FD 1.8/50 mm lens," and counted at least 56 distinct objects. He noted that the "train" will make 2-3 passes each night, and will... |
| Hackers reportedly used a tool developed by the NSA to attack Baltimore’s computer systems Posted: 25 May 2019 11:55 AM PDT  Since May 7th, the Baltimore's city government has been dealing with a ransomware attack that has shut down everything from its email to the systems that allow residents to pay water bills, purchase homes, and other services. According to a report in The New York Times, the tool that has crippled the city is a National Security Agency creation called EternalBlue, which has been used in other high-profile cyberattacks. According to security experts, hackers used EternalBlue, which exploits a vulnerability in certain versions of Microsoft's Windows XP and Vista systems, allowing an external party to execute remote commands on their target. The tool was leaked by hacking group The ShadowBrokers in April 2017, and within a day, Microsoft... |
| Alexa announcements feature now works on every Alexa-compatible device Posted: 25 May 2019 11:14 AM PDT  Last year, Amazon rolled a new announcements feature for Echo devices, and later expanded it to Alexa-compatible Sonos speakers. Now, the feature can be used across all of the devices that utilize Alexa. The feature essentially allows you to turn your Echo devices into an intercom system, and initially rolled out to the Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Dot, Echo Show, and Echo Spot. Users send out their announcement by saying "Alexa announce that / tell everyone / broadcast...", and their message gets pushed out to all of the devices in your home network at the same time. Amazon says that Announcements is "available for certified Alexa built-in products to implement and new ones that pass the provided self-tests and certification." Now, the... |
| A laptop filled with six of the world’s most dangerous viruses is on sale for more than $1 million Posted: 25 May 2019 10:00 AM PDT  Some of the world's greatest artworks are known for their elaborate backstory or complex history, but not many are actively dangerous to those who own them. 'The Persistence of Chaos' might be an exception. Created by internet artist Guo O Dong, this piece of art is an ordinary laptop filled with six of the world's most dangerous pieces of malware. It's perfectly safe — as long you don't connect to your Wi-Fi or plug in a USB. Speaking to The Verge, artist Guo O Dong says the intention behind the laptop was to make physical the abstract threats posed by the digital world. "We have this fantasy that things that happen in computers can't actually affect us, but this is absurd," says Guo.... |
| Facebook begins telling users who try to share distorted Nancy Pelosi video that it’s fake Posted: 25 May 2019 09:42 AM PDT  Earlier this week, an altered video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi caught fire on Facebook, and despite being faked, the platform has so far declined to remove it. However, it has now chosen to notify users who attempt to share the clip that it is faked. "Once the video was fact checked as false, we dramatically reduced its distribution," a Facebook spokesperson told The Verge. "Speed is critical to this system, and we continue to improve our response. People who see the video in feed, try to share it from feed, or already shared it are alerted that it's false." The new menu pops up when a user taps the share button, notifying them that there has been new reporting on the video. "Before you share this content, you might want to know that... |
| 11 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 25 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT  There's a really fine balance between over explaining magical/mythical/sci-fi parts of a story, and leaving things too undefined for viewers to understand. I think it's great when films live in that ambiguous in between, letting us imagine out some amount of specifics on our own, but a movie needs to provide the right guidance to let that happen. I watched The Wailing a couple weeks ago, and I feel like it misses that mark while trying to create a fascinating, intricate, symbolism-laden world. I still loved the movie — it's a very dark and very funny crime drama that becomes increasingly and fascinatingly mythical as the story goes on, and it caps things off with a climactic shot that I still can't get out of my head. (For those who've... |
| Netflix will release three mini-Black Mirror episodes on its Latin America YouTube channel Posted: 25 May 2019 08:53 AM PDT  Black Mirror's fifth season will return to Netflix with three new episodes on June 5th, and to promote the return of the series, it will release a trio of extremely short episodes on its América Latina YouTube channel. The three Little Black Mirror episodes will feature several YouTube stars from Latin America, according to Variety. Netflix approached the YouTubers ( Maia Mitchell, Rudy Mancuso, Juanpa Zurita, Lele Pons, Anwar Jibawi, Hannah Stocking, Jeff Wittek, Delaney Glazer and Alesso), to "create their own takes on Black Mirror. The episodes will be released on May 26th, June 2nd, and June 6th on the channel. The next season of Black Mirror comes after Netflix released an interactive entry in the series, Bandersnatch. This new... |
| The few places where you can still buy a Huawei phone in the US Posted: 25 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT  In many regions around the world, Huawei phones are easy to come by. They're sold through carriers, and available in stores. That's not the case in the US, where Huawei does not officially sell its devices and no carriers offer them. If those things aren't a deterrent, you'll likely have to go online to buy one, and even then, the list of retailers that stock Huawei-made devices, including its Honor phones, is shrinking as a result of the US federal government's recent action against Huawei. The Microsoft Store and Walmart have recently stopped selling Huawei devices, and Adorama, a smaller operation, recently delisted them from showing up via search in its online store. More sites will likely follow suit, either by hiding or completely... |
| Waste Tide is a chilling sci-fi novel about class war and trash in near-future China Posted: 25 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT  In Chinese science fiction author Chen Qiufan's debut novel Waste Tide, a young woman finds herself transformed and stuck in the midst of a vicious power struggle between factions in the polluted, fictitious Silicon Isle in Guiyu, China. It's a near-future science fiction thriller that feels pressingly relevant in 2019, about the pressures that advanced capitalism and technology exert on the most vulnerable people on Earth. Silicon Isle is a dump — literally. It's where the world drops off all of its electronic waste for recycling, which is handled by generations of workers who are too poor to leave. Everything from cell phones to robots to mechanical sex toys are sorted out here, and the entire region is steeped in poisonous waste... |
