Facebook resolves day-long outages across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger Posted: 03 Jul 2019 05:06 PM PDT Facebook had problems loading images, videos, and other data across its apps today, leaving some people unable to load photos in the Facebook News Feed, view stories on Instagram, or send messages in WhatsApp. Facebook said earlier today it was aware of the issues and was "working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible." It blamed the outage on an error that was triggered during a "routine maintenance operation." As of 7:49PM ET, Facebook posted a message to its official Twitter account saying the "issue has since been resolved and we should be back at 100 percent for everyone. We're sorry for any inconvenience." Instagram similarly said its issues were more or less resolved, too.

Superhuman says it will disable email read receipts by default after privacy controversy Posted: 03 Jul 2019 03:30 PM PDT Just days after email startup Superhuman was embroiled in controversy over its use of tracking pixels that let users see when and even where recipients opened their emails, company CEO Rahul Vohra is thoroughly apologizing — and promising to change his company. Effective immediately, he writes, Superhuman will stop tracking location, will delete existing location information, and will turn off read receipts by default. "I have come to understand that there are indeed nightmare scenarios involving location tracking," writes Vohra, adding later: "I wholeheartedly apologize for not thinking through this more fully." Here is Vohra's official blog post, and some additional apology in his tweets:

YouTube’s ‘instructional hacking’ ban threatens computer security teachers Posted: 03 Jul 2019 03:18 PM PDT Earlier this year, YouTube added hacking and phishing tutorials to its examples of banned video content — and that ban has been publicized thanks to an apparent crackdown on an ethical "white hat" hacking and computer security channel. Kody Kinzie is a co-founder of Hacker Interchange, which describes itself as an organization dedicated to teaching beginners about computer science and security. Hacker Interchange produces the Cyber Weapons Lab series on YouTube, but yesterday, Kinzie reported that they were unable to upload new videos because of a content strike. "Our existing content is being flagged and pulled, just got a strike too," noted Kinzie.

Google will make another big improvement to Android Q’s gesture navigation before release Posted: 03 Jul 2019 02:59 PM PDT Before Android 10 Q is released later this summer, Google is continuing to experiment with and improve its gesture-based navigation. Recently, the company moved so close to Apple's iPhone X approach that it almost feels like a carbon copy. But to do that, Google had to rethink Android's traditional back button. Instead of keeping an on-screen button, Android Q will use a swiping motion — inward from either side of the screen — for the back feature. This change immediately clashed with the slide-out menus used in countless smartphone apps. Many of them let you tap a hamburger menu icon to access that pane, but those icons can often be in a tough place to reach (like at the top left corner of the screen) when our phones keep getting... |
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a full-on heroic triumph Posted: 03 Jul 2019 02:44 PM PDT Warning: Significant spoilers ahead for Avengers: Endgame. Spider-Man: Far From Home is arriving in theaters facing impossible expectations. In story continuity, it directly follows Avengers: Endgame, released just a few months ago to record-breaking box office success. In terms of Spider-Man stories, it follows the visually and narratively dazzling Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is still possibly the most ambitious Spider story to ever hit the screen. And in terms of its own internal story continuity, it follows the thoroughly enjoyable Spider-Man: Homecoming, an admirably human film that followed up the big, world-spanning action of Captain America: Civil War by scaling down the action and taking a more personal focus on... |
Spider-Man: Far From Home’s post-credits scene fixes its biggest plot hole Posted: 03 Jul 2019 02:42 PM PDT Given that Spider-Man: Far From Home is a Sony film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, rather than the usual Disney film (because Sony currently holds the film development rights to Spider-Man and his rogues' gallery), it's natural enough to wonder whether Far From Home sticks with the by-now-standard Disney MCU pattern of adding extra scenes in or after the credits to tease the next film in a series, or pay off plot points from earlier in the movie. In fact, Far From Home has both a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene, and both of them are unusually key to enjoying the film. Warning: gigantic spoilers ahead for Spider-Man: Far From Home — and for Captain Marvel. What happens... |

‘User Inyerface’ teaches you about terrible modern web design by making you suffer through it Posted: 03 Jul 2019 02:09 PM PDT Bad website user interfaces are perhaps the worst part of the internet: spammy pop-ups designed to trick you, dark patterns that are intentionally misleading, and just plain obtuse design decisions that make filling out a form virtual hell. But don't take my word for it: let "User Inyerface," a web app from design firm Bagaar, show you in an intentionally nightmarish take that tries to build the single worst online form of all time. And boy, it is infuriating. (Spotted by Michael Lopp on Twitter.) Basically every aspect of the "game" is designed to induce rage: mislabeled buttons, complicated password rules, nearly impossible to close pop-up windows, slowly scrolling terms and conditions, and annoying CAPTCHA forms. Even... |
Amazon confirms it holds on to Alexa data even if you delete audio files Posted: 03 Jul 2019 01:14 PM PDT Amazon has admitted that it doesn't always delete the stored data that it obtains through voice interactions with the company's Alexa and Echo devices — even after a user chooses to wipe the audio files from their account. The revelations, outlined explicitly by Amazon in a letter to Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), which was published today and dated June 28th, sheds even more light on the company's privacy practices with regard to its digital voice assistant. The answers are a follow-up to a request from Coons dating to last month when Coons questioned how long the company holds on to voice recordings and transcripts from Echo interactions. In this week's letter, Amazon confirmed some of the allegations. "We retain customers' voice recordings... |
Dr Disrespect and other creators keep hiding their apologies Posted: 03 Jul 2019 12:20 PM PDT When Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm released a statement apologizing for his behavior that led to a two-week suspension on Twitch, he did it from his personal Twitter account, which has 71,000 followers. That's 1 million fewer followers than Beahm's main Twitter account where he usually tweets under his streaming persona. By not using his main channel to address the controversy, Beahm could take responsibility without worrying about damage to his brand. It's a strategy that other creators, often those known for their brash personalities, have used as well. Just last night, Team 10, one of YouTube's most popular and controversial vlogging collectives, issued a statement via an Instagram Story on behalf of the organization and Jake Paul,... |
