Nintendo Switch NES games are getting a rewind feature

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 07:10 PM PDT

In a move possibly designed to allow more than 17 people in the world to finish Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Nintendo is adding a rewind feature to NES games on the Switch. As you can see from the video above, you can hold down ZL and ZR to access a row of snapshots in time that you can resume from. The feature is coming on July 17th.

NES games are part of the Nintendo Switch Online service; members have access to a collection that currently stands at 44 titles, including most of the system's biggest first-party hits. The latest releases, Donkey Kong 3 and Wrecking Crew, will also be added to the service on July 17th.

Net neutrality was repealed a year ago. What’s happened since?

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 02:32 PM PDT

It's been a year since net neutrality was repealed. Gigi Sohn, a distinguished fellow at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law and Policy, chats with Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel about what's happened since by explaining the ripple effect of harmful policy decisions and more.

Below is a lightly edited excerpt of Sohn explaining three things that have happened since repealing net neutrality that clearly demonstrate what the FCC did is terrible for consumers, competition and public safety.

You can hear this and more in the latest episode of The Vergecast.

Nilay Patel: It's been a year since net neutrality was repealed and I've seen a rash of headlines about it. The National Review says the internet apocalypse didn't happen,...

Zoom fixes major Mac webcam security flaw with emergency patch

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 01:56 PM PDT

Video conferencing provider Zoom has pushed out an emergency patch to address the zero-day vulnerability for Mac users that could potentially expose a live webcam feed to an attacker, launching you into a Zoom video chat you'd never intended to launch. The move is a surprise reversal of Zoom's previous stance, in which the company treated the vulnerability as "low risk" and defended its use of a local web server that incidentally exposed Zoom users to potential attacks.

The fix, detailed in the latest update to Zoom's blog post on the vulnerability, will now "remove the local web server entirely, once the Zoom client has been updated," to take away the ability for a malicious third party to automatically activate webcams using a Zoom...

YouTube is making it much easier for creators to deal with copyright claims

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 12:57 PM PDT

YouTube is updating the way it handles manual copyright claims with changes that should make them much less of a headache for video creators.

Owners of copyrighted content — like a record label or a movie studio — will now have to say exactly where in a video their copyrighted material appears, which they didn't have to do in the past when manually reporting infringement. That'll allow creators to easily verify whether or not a claim is legitimate and to then edit out the content if they don't want to deal with the repercussions, like losing revenue or having the video taken down.

Until now, copyright owners didn't have to say where infringing content appeared when making a manual claim. That's been the source of much frustration for...

Apex Legends’ ranked mode will be the key to keeping it alive

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 12:52 PM PDT

Apex Legends is one week into its second season, which features a drastically changed map, a new character to master, and a pleasantly revamped battle pass with much-needed new rewards. But the most pivotal addition to the battle royale game is its ranked mode. Split into six tiers, this new mode will likely be the lifeblood of Apex Legends going forward, keeping it engaging for competitive players and carving out a community of top-tier streamers and aspiring pros who can form the backbone of a future e-sports scene.

The good news is that Apex Legends' ranked mode is wonderfully designed. It fixes almost every big complaint I've had about such modes in other games, giving me a rewarding way to spend my time in a way that never feels...

Etsy sellers aren’t happy with the platform pushing them to offer free shipping

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 12:36 PM PDT

Etsy announced today that it will begin prioritizing items and shops that offer free shipping, and sellers aren't thrilled. Starting July 30th, Etsy will give priority placement in US search results for items that ship free and for shops that guarantee US buyers free shipping on orders of $35 or more. An email sent to sellers by the company's CEO advises them to include the cost of shipping in their retail prices, a change that many sellers on the platform, which primarily focuses on handmade goods from artists and small businesses, take issues with.

Etsy justified the decision by saying that Etsy buyers are 20 percent more likely to buy items with free shipping. But the news has elicited a passionate reaction from sellers and buyers...

Github is banning copies of ‘deepfakes’ porn app DeepNude

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 12:14 PM PDT

GitHub is banning code from DeepNude, the app that used AI to create fake nude pictures of women. Motherboard, which first reported on DeepNude last month, confirmed that the Microsoft-owned software development platform won't allow DeepNude projects. GitHub told Motherboard that the code violated its rules against "sexually obscene content," and it's removed multiple repositories, including one that was officially run by DeepNude's creator.

DeepNude was originally a paid app that created nonconsensual nude pictures of women using technology similar to AI "deepfakes." The development team shut it down after Motherboard's report, saying that "the probability that people will misuse it is too high." However, as we noted last week, copies...

Facebook says it will launch experimental apps under NPE Team name

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 10:50 AM PDT

Facebook is launching a new brand of experimental apps for consumers, developed under the "NPE Team, from Facebook" label. (NPE stands for "new product experimentation.") The team will be developing new apps for iOS, Android, and the web, with a specific focus on consumer services, which is similar to Microsoft's Garage group.

In a blog post announcing the new team, the company notes that it "decided to use this separate brand name to help set the appropriate expectations with users that NPE Team apps will change very rapidly and will be shut down if we learn that they're not useful to people."

Facebook is no stranger to odd experimental apps. The company's past is littered with abandoned...

Facebook is trying to entice creators with more monetization options

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 10:34 AM PDT

Ahead of VidCon, Facebook has announced a slew of monetization options for its creators, which include more paid groups, ad placement options, and packs of Stars that viewers can buy and send as tips during live streams. Facebook has been trying to lure video creators away from competitors like YouTube and Patreon with monetization features like Fan Subscriptions, a $4.99-a-month digital tip jar that gets fans exclusive content, which opened up to more creators earlier this year. The features announced today are meant to add more ways for creators to make money from the platform and customize fans' experience when they visit their Facebook pages.

Facebook is also updating a bunch of backend tools to make managing pages and profiles a...

WarnerMedia confirms its Netflix rival will be called HBO Max

Posted: 09 Jul 2019 10:32 AM PDT

There's HBO Go, HBO Now, and soon, there will be HBO Max. For WarnerMedia and parent company AT&T, the latter is most important, as it will become the subscription video service that they position against Netflix, Hulu, the upcoming Disney+, and a range of other paid video offerings.

"Anchored with and inspired by the legacy of HBO's excellence and award-winning storytelling, the new service will be 'Maximized' with an extensive collection of exclusive original programming (Max Originals) and the best-of-the-best from WarnerMedia's enormous portfolio of beloved brands and libraries," the company wrote in a press release today. (The emphasis there is from WarnerMedia, of course.) So you'll get all the stuff you'd expect from having HBO —...
