| Netgear is releasing a new Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system with a cool, boxy design Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:16 PM PDT  Image: Netgear Many of Netgear's Orbi Wi-Fi routers seem to look like strange oval towers, but its newest mesh router system has a newer, boxier, and much more interesting design. Check it out: At just 4.1 inches on a side and 2.7 inches tall, I like how small these are. I think they look way cooler than the Orbi oval towers or the multi-antenna TP-Link I've got mounted on my wall. That said, the smaller size means the new Orbis aren't as powerful as Netgear's recently-introduced $699.99 Orbi Wi-Fi 6 mesh network, not least of which because they don't have the new Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. There's not a lot in the spec sheet to tell us how powerful the new Orbis are. Netgear says they have max speeds of 400Mbps over the... |
| AMC Theaters will launch its own service for renting and buying digital films Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:02 PM PDT  AMC Theaters, the largest movie theater chain in the US, is launching an on-demand video service, according to The New York Times. The service will let customers rent or buy movies, much in the same way Apple's iTunes Store and Amazon's Prime Video have operated for years. AMC Theaters on Demand, as it will be called, will launch tomorrow as an online store with approximately 2,000 films available, with new releases to be added after a standard theatrical run. Unlike the direct-to-consumer subscription streaming services that companies like Disney, Apple, Comcast (NBCUniversal), and AT&T (WarnerMedia) are preparing to launch, AMC's is specifically video-on-demand (VOD). Studios like Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony... |
| Pornhub removes Girls Do Porn, finally drawing a line at sex trafficking charges Posted: 14 Oct 2019 04:52 PM PDT  Photo by Gabe Ginsberg/FilmMagic When 22 women sued independent label Girls Do Porn in June for allegedly manipulating them into performing sex acts for a global audience, it wasn't enough for giant adult video site Pornhub to stop promoting Girls Do Porn as an official "Content Partner" and profiting from the arrangement. After some of those women and their lawyers told Motherboard specifically how over 100 women had allegedly been lied to and bullied by Girls Do Porn, it was only enough for Pornhub to remove videos from the specific women who'd sued Girls Do Porn, and only from Pornhub's official Girls Do Porn channel, not the rest of its site. It's only today, three days after the federal government revealed that the owners of Girls Do Porn have been arrested and... |
| Libra Association announces new board members after recent departures Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:02 PM PDT  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge In Geneva on Monday, the remaining members of the Libra Association held their inaugural meeting, bringing together executives from more than 20 different companies across the world. Much of the meeting was devoted to establishing the basic governance of the new association, which before Monday had been more of a proposal than a functional institution. The group named five board members — including Xapo CEO Wences Casares, Andreessen Horowitz partner and blockchain lead Katie Haun, and Facebook executive David Marcus, who has been the primary face of the project up until now. The members also laid out a number of bylaws describing the process for electing new board members,... |
| Libra keyboard creator says it’s in talks with Brydge over lawsuit, but Brydge says that’s not true Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:00 PM PDT  The Libra keyboard attached to an iPad Pro. | Photo: Sam Byford / The Verge The maker of the Libra keyboard has told multiple Kickstarter backers that it's "actively communicating" with Brydge regarding a lawsuit filed over the device last week. But Brydge says that isn't true: it hasn't actually heard from Libra's creator, and the Kickstarter campaign hasn't responded to Brydge's attempts to reach out. Brydge filed a lawsuit last week alleging that the Libra keyboard, which attaches to an iPad Pro to turn it into something that closely resembles a MacBook Pro, violates a patent it owns and relies on for its own iPad keyboards. But there was some confusion in the lawsuit: there's almost no information out there... |
| Apple’s Tencent privacy controversy is more complicated than it looks Posted: 14 Oct 2019 02:56 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Late last week, privacy advocates warned that Apple was sending iOS user data to Chinese company Tencent, an alarming development for anyone who had taken the company's privacy promises at face value. A note in iOS 13 mentioned that its Safari browser uses Tencent's Safe Browsing system to help fight malicious webpages — but Tencent may log IP addresses in the process. While this has been true for months or even years, the news casts a harsh light on Apple's recent struggles with surveillance and censorship in China — and the larger problems with privacy on the web. Apple's problems are based on a mostly uncontroversial iOS feature: Safari's "Fraudulent Website Warning" option. The Fraudulent Website Warning, as its name may suggest,... |
| Fortnite made hundreds of thousands of people watch nothing on Twitch Posted: 14 Oct 2019 02:46 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Fortnite's black hole hasn't gone anywhere, and it feels like everyone's getting weird with it. Twitch itself is even getting in on the oddity: the company's channel is showing the black hole, and it's featuring randomly chosen Fortnite streams from around the platform to highlight. The largest Fortnite streamers are having fun, too — many of them have turned watching the hole into an event. Last night, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins tweeted that for enough likes he'd hint at what's next (he whispered "tacos"); Turner "Tfue" Tenney tweeted that he thinks the game will be back up in a day. Earlier today, I tuned into Timothy "TimTheTatman" Betar's stream, where he was streaming himself reacting to his first games of Fortnite; it drew more than... |
| Instagram’s algorithm believes I might enjoy these teeth Posted: 14 Oct 2019 02:09 PM PDT  At any given time, my Instagram Explore page offers me a mix of tattoo posts, fashion, memes, and the occasional micro-influencer. It's trained to serve my interests based on data like posts I've liked, saved, or what friends have liked. Each swipe is a lottery spin: will this load show me some nice pants I might like to buy, or an ex? But for the last two weeks, Instagram has come up with a clever new method of torture. May I introduce to you, The Teeth? These Teeth? These?? Teeth?? They are the stadium seating of dental. They are the shining semi-circle sarlacc pit that shreds your soul for being the person who removes their shoes on airplanes. I fear them, but also I want to touch them. Not impressed? Maybe you'd be... |
| Democrats are striking back against Facebook’s ads policies Posted: 14 Oct 2019 01:44 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the weekend, Facebook ended up doing exactly what it didn't want to do: openly feud with a presidential candidate on Twitter. The fight began after President Donald Trump's reelection campaign flooded Facebook with ads spreading misinformation about Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and the Ukraine scandal that has dominated the news cycle over the past few weeks. Now, Democrats are firing back directly at the platforms and their rules, rather than simply running counter ads. The controversy came to a breaking point on Saturday when Elizabeth Warren challenged Facebook's political advertising policies, exposing the platform's unwillingness to remove false or misleading ads from politicians. Warren's ad falsely said that Facebook and its... |
| This band is selling custom T-shirts based on your Spotify habits Posted: 14 Oct 2019 01:25 PM PDT  Image: Sony Music British band Bring Me the Horizon has launched a new merch line with a twist: a dedicated website that serves up personalized T-shirts to people based on their Spotify listening data. The site, called "amo in colour" is a reference to the band's most recent album, amo, which was released earlier this year. When you visit the website, you're prompted to connect with your Spotify credentials and then pick your six favorite tracks from amo. It then takes your list and any of your previous listening habits with Bring Me the Horizon on Spotify and uses music intelligence platform The Echo Nest to analyze loudness and energy. If you don't have a Spotify account, you can still connect with email and manually input song choices to generate a... |
