| DJI is now making you pay Trump’s tariffs when you buy its drones Posted: 03 Sep 2019 06:07 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Chinese drone juggernaut DJI has made substantial adjustments to pricing and availability on its product lineup in response to increased tariffs on Chinese goods imposed by the Trump administration. The price hikes were first reported by DroneDJ earlier today, and they represent perhaps the first reported case of a Chinese gadget manufacturer, or a brand that manufactures predominantly in China, passing the cost of Trump's tariffs onto US consumers. If you go looking for certain DJI products through the company's US store, you'll find price increases across the Mavic 2 line by about 13 percent, which is slightly under the 15 percent figure President Donald Trump announced on Twitter late last month and that went into effect over the... |
| How to stop your emails from being tracked Posted: 03 Sep 2019 04:35 PM PDT  Update July 3, 2019, 3:47PM ET: This article has been updated to include additional information about email clients. Update September 3, 2019, 7:35PM ET: This article has been updated to include directions for disabling image autoloading on Gmail for iOS. All of those obnoxious marketing emails that crowd your inbox aren't just pushing a product. They're also tracking whether you've opened the email, when you opened it, and where you were at the time by using software like MailChimp to embed tracking software into the message. How does it work? A single tracking pixel is embedded into the email, usually (but not always) hidden within an image or a link. When the email is opened, code within the pixel sends the info back to the company's... |
| GoCycle is back with its best folding e-bike yet Posted: 03 Sep 2019 04:01 PM PDT  The new GoCycle GXi. | Image: GoCycle GoCycle, makers of one of our favorite folding electric bikes, just announced the bike we've been waiting for: the GXi. The GXi marries the performance of the company's flagship G3 model with the 10-second-folding capabilities of the GX. Combining the best features of these two bikes should make the GXi one of the best commuter bicycles on the market. As such, it won't be cheap. Prices start at £3,699 / €4,199 / $4,799 with deliveries beginning early next year. The 17.5 kg (38.6 pound) GXi is built around GoCycle's delightfully chunky magnesium wheels and a removable 375Wh battery tucked neatly inside the aluminum frame. The 500W front-hub motor with traction control has a top speed of 20mph in the US before being dialed back to 250W and... |
| Google finally adds image blocking to Gmail on the iPhone Posted: 03 Sep 2019 03:38 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google today added a new setting to the iOS version of its Gmail app that will let you more easily block unwanted email tracking. The setting in question, the ability to prevent Gmail from automatically loading attached images, used to be found only on the web version of Gmail. Toggling that setting on allows Gmail to block incoming images, including invisible email trackers hiding in the body of email messages that, in most cases, will tell senders when and sometimes even where you opened the message. This is a pretty clear response to the Superhuman controversy that erupted back in July, when former Twitter executive and designer Mike Davidson penned a blog post about the popular subscription email service that let its users track the... |
| Why Dorian stalled out over the Bahamas Posted: 03 Sep 2019 02:51 PM PDT  Photo by NOAA via Getty Images Hurricane Dorian's projected course has shifted dramatically over the past few days, spreading a menacing uncertainty across the Caribbean, Florida, and the southeastern coast of the US. As the storm continues to lash the Bahamas with deadly force, changing weather patterns have pushed the storm around, leading to mounting frustrations as US residents struggle to prepare for the storm, and meteorologists try to pin down where it will go next. After a stint as a powerful storm that smashed records across the Caribbean, Dorian's winds have weakened to a Category 2 storm. But the hurricane has also grown in size. Over the next several days the most intense parts of the storm will stay over the Atlantic rather than making landfall in the US,... |
| Facebook says Homeland Security can’t make fake accounts Posted: 03 Sep 2019 02:40 PM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge Fake accounts violate Facebook's rules, and even the Department of Homeland Security can't create them, the social network told the Associated Press today in response to a new policy implemented by the agency. In one of a series of changes to immigration policy last week, the department said employees at US Citizenship and Immigration Services, a division of DHS, could create fictitious accounts on social media to investigate the social media presence of an applicant for citizenship or a visa. This year, the Trump administration also started requiring applicants to list social media accounts as part of the visa screening process, a move that critics saw as an unnecessarily invasive measure. But the latest... |
| Apple cancels its first major TV series, Bastards Posted: 03 Sep 2019 02:12 PM PDT  Apple's streaming service hasn't launched yet, but the company has already canceled Bastards, one of the original shows it was planning for Apple TV Plus. It was an issue of creative differences between Apple executives and Bastards showrunners Howard Gordon and Warren Leight, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Bastards was conceived as an eight-episode series about two best friends who served together during the Vietnam War. Their lives take a depressing, monotonous turn after they return home, but everything changes 50 years later when the woman they were both in love with is killed in an accident. Their anger and resentment toward the world boils over, and they go on a shooting rampage. Gordon and Leight wanted to focus on the... |
| How a flailing purple bird became a cautionary tale for the pitfalls of viral fame Posted: 03 Sep 2019 01:36 PM PDT  Syd Weiler In February 2017, a GIF of a flailing purple dove from a Facebook sticker set called "Trash Doves" was seemingly everywhere, popping up in never-ending chains of comment threads. But after achieving viral fame, the sticker set led to a litany of issues as it journeyed across the web: its creator, Syd Weiler, was doxxed; she dealt with repeated instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement; and at one point, 4chan users coordinated a harassment campaign to pretend the dove was a hate symbol, leading to its removal from Apple's App Store. These events, documented by Weiler in a blog post last week, are a harrowing reminder of the pitfalls of extreme virality, especially for independent artists. "The improbable explosion of my work... |
| Google says a fix for that obnoxious Calendar spam issue is on the way Posted: 03 Sep 2019 12:40 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Google says it's hard at work resolving an issue that allows malicious third parties to hijack your Google Calendar with unremovable spam invites. As noted by Engadget this morning, Google posted to its Calendar Help forums yesterday to say that it's aware of the issue and "working diligently" to fix it. "We're aware of the spam occurring in Calendar and are working diligently to resolve this issue. We'll post updates to this thread as they become available," the post reads. "Learn how to report and remove spam. Thank you for your patience." The message includes a link to another help page that tells you how to report the unwanted invites or events. Google also advises you never respond to the invite, as that could result in the spam... |
| Amazon Video’s animated series Undone could be the start of something amazing Posted: 03 Sep 2019 12:19 PM PDT  Photo: Amazon Prime Video When Alma, the sharp-witted, deeply troubled protagonist of Amazon Prime's new animated series Undone, dresses as Dorothy for Halloween at age eight, her physicist father Jacob admits he doesn't understand The Wizard of Oz. "You've got this girl Dorothy, right?" he asks. "She's living a normal boring life, and she gets a chance to live an exciting life, and all she wants to do is go home. If you had a chance to do something amazing, would you just want everything to return to normal?" Jacob doesn't know it, but his argument gets some strong support from the film's unofficial sequel, Return to Oz, where Dorothy insists her adventures in another world were real, so her aunt and uncle commit her to an asylum for electroshock therapy.
