| Razer’s new Viper is a light and fast ambidextrous wired gaming mouse Posted: 01 Aug 2019 05:00 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge The $79 Razer Viper is the lightest wired gaming mouse I've ever used. It weighs just 69 grams, which I learned is the weight of two standard-sized light bulbs. What are the benefits of such a feather-light gaming mouse? It depends on who you ask. Those who prefer a hefty mouse with added weights won't want much to do with it, but during my week with the Viper, I really liked how easy it was to flick along the mouse pad whenever the in-game moment demands some brisk, twitchy movement. The relative weightlessness — at least compared to the Logitech G502 Lightspeed I've been using, which weighs 130 grams with all of its added weight installed — doesn't come at the expense of ergonomics. The Viper molds well to my hand, and its... |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2019 04:06 PM PDT  Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images Domino's, the leading US pizza chain that pinned its remarkable turnaround nearly a decade ago on an investment in technology, is currently waging a legal battle so that it does not have to make its website accessible to the blind. The case, which began three years ago as a lawsuit by blind US resident Guillermo Robles, may go all the way to the US Supreme Court, CNBC reports. The eventual result could become a landmark decision over the rights of people with disabilities and the responsibility of companies to retrofit mobile apps and websites for accessibility. At the core of case is Domino's insistence that it should not have to make its website, the predominant platform for ordering pizza from its physical stores, accessible to... |
| Breastfeeding does not violate Twitch’s rules, company confirms Posted: 01 Aug 2019 03:48 PM PDT  Twitch's moderation team has confirmed that breastfeeding is not against the company's terms of service. The move comes after a controversial decision to remove a clip from streamer Heather Kent's channel following reports over one moment on her stream. The clip in question shows Kent's nipple for a second as her one-year-old breastfeeds. The safety operations team took the clip down, according to an email Kent received and tweeted screenshots of earlier today. The Twitch representative told Kent that "it was a difficult position for a Safety Ops admin to be put in during a review of an incident that has not previously occurred on Twitch," but upon further review, does not violate the company's guidelines. "After further discussions... |
| What is ‘Ultra Cruise’? GM teases mysterious autonomous technology to investors Posted: 01 Aug 2019 03:00 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Last year, General Motors filed a trademark for something called "Ultra Cruise." The company has never explained what Ultra Cruise is, but it would seem to be a reference to the auto giant's well-regarded advanced driver assist system, Super Cruise. Today, we got some more details courtesy of GM CEO Mary Barra — but not enough to see the whole picture. In an earnings call Thursday, Citi Research's Itay Michaeli asked Barra about Super Cruise, and then a follow-up about how GM "might go to market with the next-generation Ultra Cruise system?" Barra's response suggested the new technology would have even more capability than Super Cruise. Or she could be conflating Ultra Cruise with Super Cruise? Honestly, it's hard to say. |
| Tesla hit with another lawsuit over a fatal Autopilot crash Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:59 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tesla is being sued by the family of a 50-year-old man who died in a crash while using the company's Autopilot advanced driver assistance system. The family of Jeremy Beren Banner is suing for wrongful death, while asking for damages of more than $15,000. A lawyer for the family announced the lawsuit on Thursday, though it has apparently not yet been filed with the Palm Beach County Clerk. Banner is the fourth known person to die while using Autopilot, and his family is the second to sue Tesla over a fatal crash involving the technology. In May, Tesla was sued by the family of 38-year-old Wei Huang, who died in 2018 after his Model X crashed into an off-ramp divider with Autopilot engaged. Banner was killed while driving along a... |
| YouTube TV is offering an extended two-week free trial until August 14th Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:56 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge YouTube TV must be feeling a crunch from its recent price increase that raised the streaming TV service's monthly subscription to $50. For "a limited time only," YouTube TV is offering a two-week free trial instead of the usual one-week duration. Droid Life spotted the longer-than-usual free trial. Sadly (but predictably), this is only for new customers and won't do you much good if you've already tried and canceled YouTube TV. The fine print reveals that this promo will run from today until August 14th. There are a number of other YouTube TV trial "deals" happening — particularly if you're a Verizon Wireless or home internet customer. But again, anyone who has already used up their YouTube TV free trial can't redeem any of these. The... |
| Twitch handed out 24-hour suspensions after last night’s Democratic debates Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:45 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Last night, Mychal "Trihex" Jefferson was one of three influential gamers banned from Twitch for 24 hours because he live-streamed the second Democratic debate. Although he understands why he was banned, he says he thought providing commentary was fair use — and that he thought it was important to make gamers realize how much politics matter. Twitch has an ongoing problem with people streaming copyrighted content. Like every other platform, Twitch is subject to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, which was passed in 1998. Essentially, it protects platforms from liability when their users upload copyrighted material, provided they take action to remove the offending content. Fair use, on the other hand, is a legal doctrine... |
| Pentagon pauses $10 billion cloud contract over Amazon concerns Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:34 PM PDT  Photo by Pete Marovich/Getty Images The Pentagon is hitting pause on awarding its $10 billion cloud computing contract until the Defense Department examines whether the process was rigged in favor of Amazon, according to Business Insider. "Keeping his promise to Members of Congress and the American public, Secretary Esper is looking at the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) program," a Pentagon spokesperson said in a statement Thursday. "No decision will be made on the program until he has completed his examination." The contract was supposed to be awarded sometime this month. The entire contracting process, which involves bids from companies like Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM, has been steeped in controversy over the past few weeks. First, Google dropped... |
| Amazon will stop taking orders from Dash buttons at the end of August Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:10 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Amazon discontinued its push-to-order physical Dash buttons earlier this year, and now the online retailer is completely shuttering the program, with the company set to stop taking orders from any Dash buttons left starting on August 31st, according to CNET. The news comes as a bit of a surprise, given that when Amazon had first discontinued Dash sales in February, the company had pledged to continue to support them so long as customers still used them. But an Amazon spokesperson reportedly tells CNET that usage "has significantly slowed" since then, resulting in the impending shutdown at the end of the month. Still, it's an odd move from the company that essentially removes a way for customers to buy... |
| Burger King’s nationwide rollout of the Impossible Whopper starts next week Posted: 01 Aug 2019 02:08 PM PDT  Burger King Burger King will start selling its meatless Impossible Whopper in its more than 7,000 locations across the US starting on August 8th. The fake meat patty, which costs only a dollar more than the beef version, is supplied by Impossible Foods. It first rolled out in April in St. Louis restaurants. The Impossible Whopper contains 15 percent less fat and 90 percent less cholesterol than the standard Whopper. Even still, Burger King claims customers can't tell the difference, especially because the burger is designed to "bleed," just like a meat patty. This occurs because of a compound called heme, which is found in plants and meat. (The Impossible Whopper comes topped with mayonnaise, so it isn't vegan-friendly.) To prove just how similar... |
