| Carrier is an immersive podcast that left me on the edge of my seat Posted: 11 Aug 2019 03:06 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge There are a ton of podcasts out there, but finding the right one can be difficult. In our new column Pod Hunters, we cover what we've been listening to that we can't stop thinking about. I'd recommend against listening to QCode's latest podcast while driving. When I queued up Carrier for the first time to listen while running errands, I jumped out of my seat when it kicked off with an intense introduction that bounced the sound from speaker to speaker, and closed with the blaring horn of a tractor trailer truck. That was a good example of the tension that the rest of the series would bring. The serialized podcast introduces us to Raylene, an African American truck driver who's been pulled over by a state trooper. The traffic stop pulls... |
| Ninja disgusted at Twitch after porn stream was promoted on his channel Posted: 11 Aug 2019 02:14 PM PDT  Image: Ninja This afternoon, streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins posted a video to Twitter to address an issue concerning his former Twitch profile page: the streaming platform had begun to promote other streamers in his place, including a channel streaming pornography earlier this morning. Earlier this month, Blevins announced that he was leaving Twitch for another streaming platform, Microsoft-owned Mixer, where he quickly gained a million subscribers within five days. In his video, Blevins says that the transition "went incredibly smooth, super professional," but noticed in the last couple days that "there have been some things going on that, you know, we let slide. They were kind of annoying little jabs we felt like, but it didn't matter, we wanted... |
| J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye will be published as an ebook for the first time Posted: 11 Aug 2019 11:55 AM PDT  Image: Little, Brown & Company J.D. Salinger's classic novel Catcher in the Rye will be published as an ebook for the first time this week, according to The New York Times. The profile details the late author and his estate's reluctance to follow the rest of the publishing industry online. The Times reports that Little, Brown and Company will publish the novel, as well as three other novels, Franny and Zooey, Nine Stories, and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour—An Introduction as ebooks this week. The move is part of a broader reveal of Salinger's body of work, which will include an exhibition by the the New York Public Library later this year, which will display a selection of the author's letters, photographs, and other items. Salinger famously... |
| Security researchers find that DSLR cameras are vulnerable to ransomware attack Posted: 11 Aug 2019 11:33 AM PDT  Image: Check Point Software Technologies Ransomware has become a major threat to computer systems in recent years, as high-profile attacks have locked users out of personal computers, hospitals, city governments, and even The Weather Channel. Now, security researchers have discovered that another device that might be at risk: a DSLR camera. Check Point Software Technologies issued a report today that detailed how its security researchers were able to remotely install malware on a digital DSLR camera. In it, researcher Eyal Itkin found that a hacker can easily plant malware on a digital camera. He says that the standardized Picture Transfer Protocol is an ideal method for delivering malware: it's unauthenticated and can be used with both Wi-Fi and USB. The report notes that... |
| System Shock 2 helped define survival horror — but it’s still in a league of its own Posted: 11 Aug 2019 09:00 AM PDT  The engineering deck in System Shock 2, the classic Looking Glass game released 20 years ago today, is one of the most brilliantly nerve-wracking virtual spaces ever created. System Shock 2 wasn't a huge success at launch. It was sandwiched between Half-Life and Deus Ex, two games that redefined the sci-fi first-person shooter. And for many years, it was almost impossible to play legally, thanks to its bizarrely tangled copyright status. But it inspired a generation of iconic survival horror games like Prey, Dead Space (conceived as a System Shock sequel), and most notably BioShock, created by System Shock 2's designer Ken Levine. And even after two decades, nothing has quite captured the same stark creepiness. Survival horror games... |
| The US Navy will replace its touchscreen controls with mechanical ones on its destroyers Posted: 11 Aug 2019 08:19 AM PDT  Gas Turbine System Technician (Electrical) Fireman Matt R. Richardson, left, receives training at the helm aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG 103). | Image: U.S. Navy The US Navy will replace the touchscreen throttle and helm controls currently installed in its destroyers with mechanical ones starting in 2020, says USNI News. The move comes after the National Transportation Safety Board released an accident report from a 2017 collision, which cites the design of the ship's controls as a factor in the accident. On August 21st, 2017, the USS John S. McCain collided with the Alnic MC, a Liberian oil tanker, off the coast of Singapore. The report provides a detailed overview of the actions that led to the collision: when crew members tried to split throttle and steering control between consoles, they lost control of the ship, putting it into the path of the tanker. The crash killed 10 sailors and injured... |
| How to sync all your fitness activities with Google Fit Posted: 11 Aug 2019 06:00 AM PDT  There are many excellent fitness tracking apps, but the best ones tend to focus on a particular type of exercise, such as running, cycling, or yoga.
