| To fight ‘evil’ ICE, an engineer pulled his code off Github Posted: 20 Sep 2019 04:54 PM PDT  Immigration Silicon Valley When engineer Seth Vargo found that a company using his open-source code worked with US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, he pulled the code off Github. The company, enterprise software maker Chef, found that, without the code, its business ground to a halt. Vargo had worked for the Seattle-based company, but he didn't know about the contract with ICE until tech writer Shanley Kane tweeted about it on Monday. ICE, which was formed under the presidency of George W. Bush in 2003, has stirred protests as it ratcheted up deportation and family separation policies under President Donald Trump.

| PayPal reinstates controversial policy of pocketing fees from refunds Posted: 20 Sep 2019 04:42 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge PayPal is reinstating a controversial policy around its handling of fees in the event of a refund. Starting next month, PayPal will begin pocketing the initial 2.9 percent commission fee sellers forfeit during a transaction even when the seller is refunding a customer in full. The company initially rolled out this policy back in April, but seller backlash over PayPal claiming the commission fee led it to reverse course. Now, PayPal says it's updating its policy for good, citing its "cost structure" and claiming the approach to refunds is in line with industry practice. Sellers are again up in arms over the change, with some claiming that it is not in fact the case that the online payment processing industry handles refunds like this. ... |
| YouTube backtracks on taking badges away from creators after outcry Posted: 20 Sep 2019 03:34 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube is almost completely backtracking on the verification system changes it announced yesterday. All YouTubers who are currently verified will get to keep their verification status, and YouTubers who are not yet verified will still be able to apply for it once they hit 100,000 subscribers, as creators have in the past. Only a single key change isn't being reversed: YouTube will actually verify that channels are authentic, whereas in the past it seemingly has not thoroughly taken this very obvious step. This is all quite different from the original plan. YouTube had indicated it was going to limit verification to only established brands and the biggest personalities — people who were at high risk of impersonation. It meant that the... |

| Uber sues New York City to overturn limits on drivers cruising without passengers Posted: 20 Sep 2019 02:26 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Uber filed a lawsuit against New York City Friday in an effort to overturn rules limiting the amount of time ride-hail drivers can spend in busy parts of the city. It was the second time this year that Uber has sued New York City. The suit comes a month after the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission approved an extension on its cap on the number of Uber and Lyft vehicles permitted to operate within the city. The moratorium on new vehicle licenses now extends until August 2020. The commission also amended its rules aimed at limiting the amount of time drivers can cruise without passengers in Manhattan below 96th Street. Under the new rules, Uber and Lyft must reduce deadheading — or the amount of time drivers spend without passengers in... |
| Minecraft’s new character creator lets players control how they look Posted: 20 Sep 2019 01:45 PM PDT  The newest Minecraft beta update comes with the ability to make a customized version of yourself, as spotted by VentureBeat. Developer Mojang announced the feature in a blog post, noting the change alongside a slew of performance and gameplay fixes. The Minecraft Character Creator lets you personalize your avatar within the game, the first official tool for doing following years of mods and third-party skin creators handling the task. The new tool lets you tweak everything from facial features and hairstyles to skin tones and facial hair. Mojang says that more than 100 customization items will be available for free. It's also introducing a range of custom accessories, but you'll have to pay for those. Of course if that's not enough,... |
| YouTube is taking away more than a checkmark Posted: 20 Sep 2019 01:41 PM PDT  Taylor Hill/FilmMagic for YouTube Editor's note: Less than two hours after this story was published, YouTube almost entirely backtracked on its planned changes to verification in response to criticisms from creators. This story details those criticisms and speaks to why YouTube reversed course. The original story continues below. Verification badges on YouTube are more than just a checkmark to creators. Those tiny marks are a sign that after years of building a channel, they're seen as a valuable member of the community. That's why when YouTube suddenly sent out a flood of emails to creators who have picked up verification badges over the years, alerting them that they were due to have their badge revoked as part of an overhaul to the verification system next month, it... |
| Don’t update to iOS 13.0 if you play Fortnite or PUBG Mobile Posted: 20 Sep 2019 01:17 PM PDT  Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Apple's latest iOS refresh arrived not quite fully baked, leading to all sorts of bugs that range from minor to serious. The situation is so pressing, in fact, that Apple is pushing up the release of iOS 13.1 by a week to help iron out the kinks. But for avid players of battle royale mobile titles like Fortnite and PUBG Mobile, that means going a few days without being able to properly play the touch-based shooters. Both games, as well as many others, rely on multiple, simultaneous touch inputs to control in-game characters. The issue with iOS 13 is that a three-finger press-and-hold gesture was introduced to allow for more granular text editing options. Since the official release yesterday, countless players have complained that the... |
| Beats headphones will get the same iOS 13.1 audio sharing feature as AirPods Posted: 20 Sep 2019 01:05 PM PDT  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Apple isn't reserving the convenient new audio sharing feature in iOS 13 just for its own AirPods; the company is also extending it to Beats products. Audio Sharing allows two sets of earbuds or headphones to be connected to a single iPhone, letting people listen to the same music or watch video content together from one device. The following Beats products will support Audio Sharing:
They all have either Apple's W1 or H1 chip inside, which is what enables the feature. Beats says Audio Sharing will be available next week. Like AirPods, Apple occasionally updates the firmware of Beats products quietly in the background to improve performance and add new... |
| Fox Sports will broadcast Thursday Night Football games in sort of 4K Posted: 20 Sep 2019 12:58 PM PDT  The United States continues its slow march toward 4K live sports, with Fox Sports rolling out live 4K streaming for its upcoming Thursday Night Football games, starting with September 26th's Philadelphia Eagles / Green Bay Packers game. Fox will be offering "4K" streams of the games that will be produced in 1080p and then upconverted to 4K — which, depending on how you view it, may or may not be a "real" 4K stream. At the very least, it'll likely look better than a regular HD stream, assuming you've got the setup for it. Hardware is the other catch: the stream will only be available on specific Roku devices that support 4K (the Roku Premiere, Roku Premiere+, Roku Streaming Stick+, Roku... |
