| Why you probably won’t actually get $125 from the Equifax settlement Posted: 26 Jul 2019 04:51 PM PDT  Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images If you're anything like me, you took off like a shot the moment you heard Equifax would pay you $125 just for filling out a simple form. Perhaps you even considered it a reasonable stab at compensation for the fact that the 2017 data breach exposed the personal information of 147 million Americans. But the likelihood that you'll actually get a check for $125 is increasingly slim — because the more people who sign up, the less money each person gets. In fact, there's only room for 248,000 people to get that amount. If 1 million people ask for the money, they'll be eligible for just $31 each. If every single one of the 147 million affected people sign up, they'll be looking at 21 cents. See, while Equifax has agreed to a $700 million... |
| Photos of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active 2 leaked at the FCC Posted: 26 Jul 2019 03:11 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge We know the Note 10 launch at Samsung's Unpacked event is imminent, but there is also growing evidence that the company will also launch a new smartwatch soon. And sure enough, that watch has just appeared on the FCC website where the agency posts approval requests, complete with images. Normally, companies request that images be hidden, but somebody didn't cross a T or dot an i, apparently. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 smartwatch is expected to be an iteration on the version that was released just this past March. One of our complaints with that watch was that although Samsung's Tizen smartwatch software is optimized for use with a rotating bezel, the original Watch Active didn't have one. This new one is rumored to have a touch-sensitive... |
| DJI appears to be making its first FPV racing drone Posted: 26 Jul 2019 02:11 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge DJI appears to be readying the release of a first-person-view (FPV) drone, according to FCC filings spotted by DroneDJ. Three products — a "DJI FPV Air Unit," "DJI FPV Remote Controller," and "DJI FPV Goggles" — were recently registered with the government agency. DJI has dabbled with FPV drones in the past. The company released a PlayStation VR-sized headset dubbed DJI Goggles in 2017 that worked with a few different DJI drones. But that somewhat clunky solution was about as far as the Chinese company ever went with the idea. Meanwhile, an "FPV air unit" with dedicated goggles and a controller sounds more like a drone built for racing, or at the very least, high maneuverability. It would make sense; DJI is far-and-away the leader in... |
| The first three Doom games are now on the Nintendo Switch, with added DRM Posted: 26 Jul 2019 01:25 PM PDT  Bethesda's first three Doom games are available on the Nintendo Switch today. In order to play the titles, players will have to do something they never worried about with the originals: connect to the internet and log in to their Bethesda accounts. Bethesda didn't mention the login issue when the team announced that all three games were headed to the Switch at the annual QuakeCon convention today, but ResetEra forum administrator Nibel confirmed the news on Twitter:

| Apple’s hired contractors are listening to your recorded Siri conversations, too Posted: 26 Jul 2019 01:00 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Apple is paying contractors to listen to recorded Siri conversations, according to a new report from The Guardian, with a former contractor revealing that workers have heard accidental recordings of users' personal lives, including doctor's appointments, addresses, and even possible drug deals. According to that contractor, Siri interactions are sent to workers, who listen to the recording and are asked to grade it for a variety of factors, like whether the request was intentional or a false positive that accidentally triggered Siri, or if the response was helpful. But Apple doesn't really explicitly say that it has other humans listening to the recordings,... |
| T-Mobile-Sprint merger still faces one more court battle before it can close Posted: 26 Jul 2019 12:57 PM PDT  Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images T-Mobile and Sprint will wait to close their multibillion-dollar merger until a lawsuit from over a dozen state attorneys general is resolved, T-Mobile's chief operating officer Mike Sievert said on the company's earnings call today. Sievert's admission came only a few short hours after the Justice Department announced its approval of the deal after months of negotiations to create a fourth viable wireless competitor through Dish Network. But the two carriers still face one last challenge in court before officially creating The New T-Mobile: more than a dozen state attorneys general are suing to block the deal. "Our intention is not to close while the litigation is ongoing," Sievert said. The group of attorneys general, led by New York... |
| Hulu renewed The Handmaid’s Tale for a fourth season Posted: 26 Jul 2019 12:20 PM PDT  Image: Hulu Hulu isn't ready to leave the Republic of Gilead just yet. Today, at its Television Critics Association presentation, it announced that it has renewed The Handmaid's Tale for a fourth season. Based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel of the same name, it's set in a world where the United States has fallen into a theocracy where women are stripped of their rights and forced into sexual slavery. The series is almost done with its third season, and in the last two seasons, it's moved further away from the original novel. Hulu didn't say when the new season would debut. The show's first and second seasons attracted some criticism that it was overwhelmingly focused on misery and torture, and this latest season has shifted to focus more on the... |
| T-Mobile CEO says Verizon’s 5G plan is ‘fake,’ ‘clueless,’ and ‘dead in the water’ Posted: 26 Jul 2019 12:09 PM PDT  Photo by Joan Cros/NurPhoto via Getty Images T-Mobile CEO John Legere took something of a victory lap this afternoon, using a call with investors to trash talk his rivals' 5G plans now that T-Mobile's merger with Sprint has federal approval. Legere called Verizon "dead in the water without a strategy" and said AT&T has been "lying" and "confusing" customers about its deployment. Legere laid out a coherent and entertaining (and if you're his competitors, insulting) vision of the current state of 5G strategies while on the call. Of course, it's all premised on the idea that T-Mobile, once combined with Sprint, has the one true vision for 5G, which is more than debatable. But his explanation isn't necessarily wrong, either.

| EPIC privacy group sues FTC for letting Facebook off easy Posted: 26 Jul 2019 11:34 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Federal Trade Commission is facing a lawsuit filed by privacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center, known as EPIC, designed to block the automatic approval of the landmark Facebook privacy settlement. Facebook settled with the FTC earlier this week, walking away with a $5 billion fine, some added privacy checks, and a stock price bump. The consensus: the FTC gave the company a slap on the wrist, and Facebook's latest earnings report showed the social network earning three times as much in revenue as the FTC fine in just three months. Now, EPIC wants to challenge the fairness of the FTC's settlement terms and potentially force the agency to alter the terms of the deal to better address complaints filed by individuals and... |
| WannaCry hero Marcus Hutchins will avoid prison in banking malware case Posted: 26 Jul 2019 11:25 AM PDT  The security researcher responsible for stopping the devastating WannaCry ransomware hack in 2017 avoided prison for charges related to creating banking malware, according to multiple reports. Marcus Hutchins became a hero in the digital security community when he discovered a "kill switch" to curb the spread of the WannaCry ransomware, which spread around the globe. But soon after, his fortunes changed dramatically, when he was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecutors accused him of developing malware used to steal banking credentials. In April, Hutchins pleaded guilty to two charges related to the creation of the malware, called Kronos, as prosecutors agreed to drop... |
