| SpaceX is in communication with all but three of 60 Starlink satellites one month after launch Posted: 28 Jun 2019 02:14 PM PDT  It's been over a month since SpaceX launched its first batch of 60 internet-beaming satellites for the company's massive Starlink initiative, and all but three of the satellites seem to be working as intended. Initially, SpaceX was able to communicate with all 60 spacecraft after launch, but eventually lost communication with three outliers. The uncommunicative trio will continue to orbit the Earth for a time, but will eventually get pulled down toward our planet by gravity, where they will burn up in the atmosphere. The rest of the 57 satellites have been working as intended, according to the company. Forty-five of the satellites have raised their altitudes with their onboard thrusters and have reached their final intended orbits of 342... |
| BMW executive calls EVs ‘overhyped’ at company event about EVs Posted: 28 Jun 2019 01:58 PM PDT  BMW executive and board member Klaus Fröhlich told reporters this week that the shift to cars powered by electricity is "overhyped," and said that there is "no" consumer demand for them. Curiously, Fröhlich made these comments at an event where BMW proudly announced it will accelerate plans to release 25 cars that are partially or fully electric, moving the timeline up two years from 2025 to 2023. Fröhlich said all-electric vehicles "cost more in terms of raw materials for batteries" than gas or hybrid cars, and added that those prices "could eventually worsen as demand for these raw materials increases." He also claimed that, broadly, there are "regulator requests for [all-electric vehicles], but no customer requests." Fröhlich said... |
| Gay dating app Jack’d settles complaint over exposing private photos Posted: 28 Jun 2019 01:36 PM PDT  New York's attorney general has settled a complaint over gay, bisexual, and queer dating app Jack'd, whose parent company left users' private photos exposed online for at least a year. The company, Online Buddies, will pay $240,000 and implement a "comprehensive security program" to prevent similar incidents in the future. The Register and Ars Technica first reported on the Jack'd security flaw in February of 2019, noting that security researcher Oliver Hough had informed the company a year earlier to no avail. The popular dating app had uploaded photos to a publicly accessible Amazon Web Services storage bucket, even when users believed the pictures were private. The exposed data included nude photos and pictures that revealed a user's... |
| Apple’s HomePod smart speaker is $199 for the first time ever Posted: 28 Jun 2019 01:29 PM PDT  Apple's HomePod is $199.99 at Target. This Siri-equipped smart speaker is usually $299, and this sale marks the lowest price that we've seen yet. You can get the white-colored speaker right now, though the charcoal color option is temporarily out of stock. If you want the darker shade of HomePod, you can sign up to be notified when it's available. The HomePod will gain a few new abilities once iOS 13 launches later this year. With the update, it will be able to identify who's talking to it, adjusting its responses accordingly to provide a personalized experience for multiple people in the home. Apple will also bring a handoff feature to HomePod that lets it seamlessly take over playing music when you bring your iPhone nearby, like when... |
| Google’s Phil Harrison isn’t worried about ISP data caps for Stadia Posted: 28 Jun 2019 01:22 PM PDT  One of the questions surrounding data-hungry streaming services like Project Stadia is how they'll manage with things like data caps, which some home internet services place strict limits on (similar to cellular data). But in an interview with GameSpot, Phil Harrison, vice president and general manager of Google, doesn't seem too concerned that it'll be an issue. "The ISPs have a strong history of staying ahead of consumer trend and if you look at the history of data caps in those small number of markets ... the trend over time, when music streaming and download became popular, especially in the early days when it was not necessarily legitimate, data caps moved up," explained Harrison. "Then with the evolution of TV and film streaming,... |
| Grubhub is using thousands of fake websites to upcharge commission fees from real businesses Posted: 28 Jun 2019 01:08 PM PDT  Grubhub has been buying tens of thousands of domain names that resemble those of businesses they either work with or are pitching to get on the platform, reports New Food Economy. Those domains, of which Grubhub owns as many as 23,000, are used to resemble a landing page for the official business, complete with an online ordering form, despite the sites being completely unassociated with the restaurants themselves. Restaurant owners are calling the practice predatorial, noting that Grubhub is leading customers to believe they're ordering directly from restaurants to help businesses avoid paying fees to Grubhub. The online ordering giant, the largest in the country, is the parent company of multiple food delivery services, including... |
| Bumble becomes one of the first major dating platforms to introduce in-app video and voice calls Posted: 28 Jun 2019 12:01 PM PDT  Bumble's figured out a new way to bring video to its app: in-app voice or video calling. The feature applies to all of Bumble's use cases, including Bumble Bizz for making professional connections; Bumble BFF for making friends; and Bumble for dating. The option to start a call will surface only once a match has been made. Women can call from that initial match while men have to wait until a woman has made the first move. The overall appeal is that people don't have to swap phone numbers to chat, so if they unmatch, the other person loses their ability to make a call. Only one other major dating app, Badoo, allows for video calling within the app, which isn't coincidental. The same man — Andrey Andreev — operates both Badoo and Bumble.... |

| Valve Index review: high-powered VR at a high-end price Posted: 28 Jun 2019 10:00 AM PDT Gaming company Valve pioneered VR as we know it today, creating a sophisticated tracking system and prototyping several headsets. It runs the popular SteamVR platform, and it's partnered with HTC on the Vive system. But it hasn't actually produced a VR headset. That's changing with the Valve Index: a high-end, PC-tethered headset that starts shipping today. The Valve Index is specialized and expensive even by VR's standards. It costs $999, which is more than twice as much as the $399 Oculus Rift or $499 HTC Vive. Like those systems, you'll need a gaming PC to use it. If you need convenience and portability, it's not the right choice. You can find headsets with higher resolutions or wider fields of view. But for people who spend a lot of... |
| Apple’s new Mac Pro will be assembled in China, not the US Posted: 28 Jun 2019 09:14 AM PDT  Apple's new Mac Pro will be built in China, unlike the previous model that has been assembled in a plant in Austin, Texas, since 2013, according to The Wall Street Journal. The vast majority of Apple products are manufactured in China, so it's not entirely surprising to see Apple shift its production overseas. But it comes at a fraught time, as the tech industry faces the prospect of 25 percent tariffs on imports from China, which could have political implications for a company that President Trump has regularly called out for not making products in the US. When Apple announced its previous generation of the Mac Pro, it made a big deal about the fact that the computer would be assembled... |
