| Dropbox had to evacuate its headquarters when an electric scooter caught fire Posted: 15 Aug 2019 04:56 PM PDT  Sean O'Kane You can buy an electric scooter. You can rent an electric scooter. And of course, you can pick one up off a crowded street. What you can't do is escape the ridicule that comes with this extremely convenient mode of transportation — particularly not after they explode inside a tech company's headquarters and cause people to evacuate. The San Francisco Fire Department has confirmed to The Verge that Dropbox evacuated its SF headquarters at 333 Brannan Street yesterday after an electric scooter caught fire on the fifth floor of the building. The SFFD says it was able to extinguish the fire, and that no one got hurt.

| A researcher made a Lightning cable that can hack your computer Posted: 15 Aug 2019 03:53 PM PDT  Image: Hak5 You probably already know that plugging unknown USB flash drives into your computer is risky. There's a chance that a malicious program could give a hacker access to your personal data. But now, it's not just drives to be wary of. A security researcher has shown how USB cables, even ones that look like Apple's Lightning cable, could hijack your machine. Mike Grover, a security researcher who reportedly works for Verizon Media and goes by "MG" online, has developed modified Lightning cables that can hack someone's computer, as first reported by Motherboard. MG sold a handful of the "O.MG cables" at the security conference Def Con, and is working with online security products store Hak5 to sell a version of the Lightning-lookalike cable... |
| June will immediately change its app interface to prevent smart ovens from turning on accidentally Posted: 15 Aug 2019 03:27 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Smart home appliance maker June is planning an immediate update to its iOS and Android apps to prevent users from accidentally turning on the company's smart ovens. The updates don't remove the ability to remotely preheat the oven, but they do put more button taps between opening the app and starting a preheat, which could help avoid accidents. The Verge reported yesterday that a few June Oven owners experienced their ovens turning on overnight and preheating to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and higher without their knowledge. The company said the preheats were the result of user error — effectively people accidentally triggering their ovens without realizing it. The company planned two updates to address the issue, and it now says it's moving... |
| Renewable energy can generate billions of dollars in health benefits, study finds Posted: 15 Aug 2019 03:06 PM PDT  Photo by Duane Prokop/Getty Images for TakePart.org Ten states across the Midwest and Great Lakes region of the US could see $4.7 billion in health benefits in 2030 if they stick with current renewable energy standards, according to a new study from MIT. That's about a 34 percent return on the $3.5 billion price tag associated with actually building out that infrastructure of renewable energy sources such as wind or solar farms. "This research shows that renewables pay for themselves through health benefits alone," Emil Dimanchev, lead author and senior research associate at the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research told The Verge. There's no shortage of studies into the potential costs associated with climate... |

| iOS 13 beta hints at an Apple iPhone 11 event on September 10th Posted: 15 Aug 2019 12:51 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Apple just released iOS 13 beta 7 to developers today, and people are already digging through the software to find hints about the rumored iPhone 11. iHelp BR has discovered that the latest iOS 13 beta includes an asset that hints at an iPhone 11 event date of September 10th. An image, simply named "HoldForRelease," includes the September 10th date on the calendar of the iOS 13 home screen. Apple uses this particular image for the out of box experience (OOBE) when you first set up a new iPhone. iOS 12 includes a similar image, with a September 12th date displayed on it, which is the date when Apple announced the iPhone XS. The presence of this image does hint that Apple could be preparing its iPhone 11 event for September 10th, and it's... |
| Jimmy Kimmel, Walking Dead part of $600,000 penalties for false emergency alerts Posted: 15 Aug 2019 12:47 PM PDT On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission reached a handful of settlements with media outlets following investigations into whether they misused the emergency alert system tone. The agency found that ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, AMC's The Walking Dead, Animal Planet's Lone Star Law, and Meruelo Radio Holdings all misused the emergency alert system (EAS) tone, a sound that is blasted out to television and smartphones to warn people of emergencies like tornadoes, floods, and missing children. The companies have agreed to pay a total of more than $600,000 in civil penalties for the violations. The FCC has a rule against using the tone outside of actual emergencies to "protect the integrity" of the system. That way, listeners aren't... |
| Amazon is selling gas for 30 cents to promote Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and police had to intervene Posted: 15 Aug 2019 12:02 PM PDT  Photo: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Twitter) Amazon's latest marketing campaign for the Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has not gone as planned, with the Santa Monica Police briefly shutting down a 30-cents-per-gallon promotion for gas due to traffic delays caused by eager customers, according to ABC 7 reporter John Gregory. The promotion has since resumed, with Amazon now working with the city to limit the number of cars in line to keep traffic running. The absurdly cheap gas promotion was part of "Maisel Day," a marketing campaign from Amazon as part of its attempt to highlight the show (and its 20 Emmy nominations) ahead of the awards ceremony next month. The online retailer partnered with local Santa Monica businesses to roll back prices on things like gasoline,... |
| Cloudflare warns investors that sites like 8chan are a risk to its business Posted: 15 Aug 2019 11:29 AM PDT  Internet services company Cloudflare is going public, and it describes the controversy over banning hateful websites — like 8chan and the Daily Stormer — as a potential risk factor. The company's S-1 filing reports that objectionable sites could cause "significant adverse political, business, and reputational consequences." The filing describes this risk as a double bind for Cloudflare because once an objectionable customer signs up, any moderation call will anger some people. The company "experienced significant negative publicity" for working with the neo-Nazi blog Daily Stormer and the forum 8chan, which it says "served as inspiration" for hate-fueled shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Christchurch, New Zealand. "We are aware of some... |
| Microsoft’s latest Surface updates are causing CPU and Wi-Fi issues Posted: 15 Aug 2019 11:20 AM PDT  Surfacebook 2 | Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Microsoft is working to fix CPU throttling on the company's latest Surface devices, while owners complain of Wi-Fi issues, too. "We are aware of some customers reporting a scenario with their Surface Books where CPU speeds are slowed," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to TechRepublic. "We are quickly working to address via a firmware update." The CPU throttling appears to be affecting both the Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 6, according to a variety of complaints on Reddit. Processors are getting throttled all the way down to a measly 400MHz, and it's not immediately clear what is causing the problems. TechRepublic reports that the throttling appears to be related to an Intel CPU flag being locked on by mistake, causing the... |
