| Posted: 29 May 2019 07:00 PM PDT  One of the pressing concerns about the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint is that it would shrink the market of major US wireless carriers from four down to three. But according to a report from Bloomberg tonight, the Department of Justice might be pushing for a way to prevent that: apparently, the DoJ wants to see T-Mobile and Sprint "lay the groundwork" for an entirely new carrier to emerge as a condition of any potential approval of their merger. By the sounds of it, this would be a spun off mobile provider with its own network cobbled together from assets and spectrum that currently belong to T-Mobile and Sprint. Bloomberg doesn't mention how receptive the two carriers are to this idea, nor does it detail how everything... |
| This is Ecobee’s new glass-covered smart thermostat Posted: 29 May 2019 04:46 PM PDT  Ecobee can't seem to keep its smart home secrets to itself, seeing how its upcoming indoor video camera, intriguing contact sensor and new premium thermostat have been detailed early by Dave Zatz of ZatzNotFunny over the past couple months. But now, hardware retailer Lowe's has apparently asked Zatz to hold its beer — by publishing a complete product page for the new glass-covered Ecobee Smart Thermostat with Voice Control onto the web. The page, spotted by one of Zatz' tipsters, leaves very little to the imagination, detailing practically every new feature to expect. In addition to the previously revealed glass-covered touchscreen (instead of plastic) and bundled "SmartSensor" with magnetic base, the new unit now... |
| Gogo is developing a 5G network for planes Posted: 29 May 2019 02:38 PM PDT  In-flight internet provider Gogo has announced plans to bring 5G to the North American skies starting in 2021. Gogo says the new 5G service is being designed to power faster in-flight Wi-Fi on smaller commercial airlines in the continental United States and Canada, those companies' even smaller regional jets, and on business jets as well. Gogo says it will essentially graft the 5G network onto the 250 towers the company currently leases to power its air-to-ground (ATG) service. Most Gogo-equipped commercial aircraft (on airlines like Delta) still predominately get their internet connections from these ground stations, to the tune of 1,881 out of 2,551 in North America at the end of 2018, according to the company's most recent annual... |
| Another study finds teen suicide rates rose just after 13 Reasons Why debut Posted: 29 May 2019 02:30 PM PDT  After the release of the controversial Netflix show 13 Reasons Why, scientists found a 13.3 percent increase in teenagers' deaths from suicide. This is the second study released this month that found a rise in youth suicides around the time the show premiered. Mental health researchers are, as a result, more concerned than ever about how suicide is portrayed in the media — because suicide can be "contagious." About 94 more kids ages 10 to 19 died than expected during the period of this study, which was published this week in JAMA Psychiatry. Because there's no way to tell whether the people who died by suicide during this time actually watched the show, the study "does not provide definitive proof" that 13 Reasons Why, which focuses on... |
| Gmail’s confidential mode will be on by default for G Suite users starting June 25th Posted: 29 May 2019 01:58 PM PDT  Google is rolling out its confidential mode to G Suite users by default starting on June 25th. If you use Gmail at work, you'll be able to use the tool to write a confidential email, as personal account holders have been able to do since Gmail's mid-2018 redesign. Confidential mode is a powerful tool that will come in handy at work if you send messages containing sensitive details. It lets you set an expiration date for your message, which cuts off access when that day arrives. While the message is available, recipients won't be able to forward your message to others, copy its contents, or download it, and the sender can revoke access at any point. To add another layer of security, you can set the message to only unlock after the... |
| The US Navy is planning to equip a destroyer with a laser system by 2021 Posted: 29 May 2019 01:49 PM PDT  The US military is increasingly looking to use lasers on the battlefield, and a new report suggests that the Navy is planning to equip an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer with a HELIOS laser defense system in 2021. The Navy's director of surface warfare, Rear Admiral Ron Boxall, told Defense News that the service is planning to install the High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-dazzler with Surveillance system on the USS Preble by 2021. It will replace an existing defensive platform called the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) system, which was designed to intercept and destroy incoming missiles and other threats before they reach a ship. The Navy began testing a precursor laser system, the AN/SEQ-3, back in 2013 as a proof-of-concept that... |
| Google’s Play Store starts requiring games with loot boxes to disclose their odds Posted: 29 May 2019 01:49 PM PDT  Google now requires Play Store app developers to disclose the odds of receiving items in loot boxes, among several other changes aimed at making its app store more kid-friendly. This brings its policy in line with the Apple App Store, and it's happening amid a larger discussion of how to regulate loot boxes — which critics describe as an addictive gambling system frequently aimed at children. Android Police noted that new language had been added to Google's rules about payments. "Apps offering mechanisms to receive randomized virtual items from a purchase (i.e. 'loot boxes') must clearly disclose the odds of receiving those items in advance of purchase," it now says. Google is coming relatively late to the game here, since Apple changed... |
| Twitter is researching whether it should ban white supremacists Posted: 29 May 2019 12:43 PM PDT  Twitter has started looking into whether its belief that keeping white supremacists on its platform is a good idea is, in fact, a good idea. According to Motherboard, Twitter has begun researching whether its platform is actually useful for de-radicalization, as part of an inquiry into whether it should ban white supremacists from the site or allow them to remain and, theoretically, thoughtfully engage with others about their intolerant beliefs and recognize their mistakes. "Is it the right approach to de-platform these individuals? Is the right approach to try and engage with these individuals? How should we be thinking about this? What actually works?" Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's legal chief, said in a conversation with Motherboard. |
| Elizabeth Warren puts a giant tech breakup billboard in San Francisco’s face Posted: 29 May 2019 12:38 PM PDT  On Wednesday, 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) put up a billboard in the heart of Silicon Valley pressing for big tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, and Google to be broken up. The billboard is located at 4th and Townsend, right next to the city's primary Caltrain stop, where a substantial chunk of South Bay technology workers arrive each morning. It's not exactly prime placement — considering it's neither facing the Caltrain station nor along the most traffic'd sidewalks for employees commuting back to the South Bay — but the billboard is just blocks from the headquarters for Lyft and Dropbox, among other startups. Alongside the call for antitrust action, the billboard includes a short-code number for... |
| Google bans marijuana delivery companies from selling weed directly through their apps Posted: 29 May 2019 12:32 PM PDT  Google has added a rule banning apps that "facilitate" the sale of marijuana — whether they're operating legally or not — but the company says it's not trying to drive pot-related services off the Google Play Store. Android Police noted the change earlier today, speculating that it might spell trouble for the popular weed-finding apps Eaze and Weedmaps. Google tells The Verge that it's working with developers to make their apps compliant with the new rules, rather than trying to ban them from the Play Store altogether. Android apps can apparently still promote pot, but they're not allowed to offer an "in-app shopping cart feature" to assist with "arranging delivery or pick up of marijuana" or to otherwise "facilitate the sale of... |
