| RED cancels Hydrogen phone project as founder Jim Jannard retires Posted: 24 Oct 2019 06:54 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge RED's ambitious Hydrogen phone project is ending after the release of just a single device, the Hydrogen One, according to an announcement from company founder Jim Jannard that he is "shutting down the HYDROGEN project" as he retires due to "a few health issues." The $1,295 RED Hydrogen One was the first smartphone from the high-end camera company; first announced in 2017, it promised bold new technologies like a "holographic display," a top-notch camera system, and modular attachments to expand the phone over time. After a series of delays, the phone was eventually released to a lackluster reception in October 2018. The promised modules never materialized, and in March, Jannard announced "big changes" for the Hydrogen program. Instead... |

| A company that sold encrypted phones was run by crime lords Posted: 24 Oct 2019 05:15 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge You've probably heard the idiom of the fox guarding the hen house — but how about the one of the encrypted phone company run by drug lords? Okay, that's obviously not an idiom, but it's a true story chronicled by Vice's Joseph Cox. In the story, Cox tells how MPC — a now-seemingly defunct company that apparently sold phones, tablets, and computers running custom firmware with significant encryption protections — was ultimately controlled by two at-large criminal kingpins known as The Brothers. As Cox's reporting explains, The Brothers apparently first bought and used encrypted BlackBerrys before hiring developers to make a custom operating system that could theoretically offer them even more privacy and loaded it on phones. The story... |
| Google says it’s planning to build multiple first-party game studios for Stadia exclusives Posted: 24 Oct 2019 05:05 PM PDT  Image: Google When Microsoft was slammed for not offering enough compelling exclusive games to attract gamers to Xbox, it bought its way out — purchasing game developer after game developer to prep itself for the next console war. Now, it appears Google may similarly be shoring up the upcoming Stadia cloud gaming platform by building multiple internal game studios of its own. In March, Google suggested its plans to become a game developer would start small, hiring Ubisoft and EA industry vet Jade Raymond to lead up a single studio dubbed Stadia Games and Entertainment. But in a new interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Raymond reveals that Google isn't planning to stop at just one. "We have a plan that includes building out a few different first-party... |
| AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile have finally agreed to replace SMS with a new RCS standard Posted: 24 Oct 2019 04:19 PM PDT  Exclusive: Chat is Google's next big fix for Android's messaging mess | Artists: Garret Beard and William Joel All four major US carriers — AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint — have each issued the same joint press release announcing the formation of "a joint venture" called the "Cross-Carrier Messaging Initiative" (CCMI). It's designed to ensure that the carriers move forward together to replace SMS with a next-generation messaging standard — including a promise to launch a new texting app for Android phones that supports the standard by next year. The Verge spoke with Doug Garland, general manager for the CCMI, to find out more about what this all means. RCS, if you don't know, is wickedly complicated on the backend from both a technical and (more importantly) a political perspective. But the CCMI's goal is to make all that go away for US... |
| Google will replace Home devices bricked due to latest firmware update Posted: 24 Oct 2019 03:31 PM PDT  Photography by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge If your Google Home or Google Home Mini has recently stopped working, good news: Google will likely replace it. This year, there have been a growing number of reports of bricked Homes and Home Minis on Google's support forums (via 9to5Google) and on Reddit (via Android Police), and the volume of reports has picked up since mid-September. It's wasn't clear what the issue was, and Google finally acknowledged that there was a problem in September. It seems Google's had a breakthrough, issuing a statement to 9to5Google today saying it's found a fix for the issue, which was caused by an error in an automatic firmware update. Google says the fix will roll out to working devices soon to (hopefully) prevent them from bricking at any point in the... |
| Gamers for Freedom is a new group pressuring Blizzard and other publishers about Hong Kong Posted: 24 Oct 2019 02:51 PM PDT  Photo by Oliver Berg/picture alliance via Getty Images Gaming and politics do mix, as the recent furor over Blizzard's censorship of pro-Hong Kong voices has shown: it hasn't blown over, and the conflict shows no signs of stopping. Today, a new challenger appeared: the nonprofit organization Fight for the Future, which has spun up a campaign called Gamers for Freedom to put pressure on Blizzard to reevaluate its stances on China and Hong Kong. Fight for the Future organizes online (and in-person) campaigns to, as they write in their mission statement, "ensure that the web continues to hold freedom of expression and creativity at its core." (They were the ones who mobilized basically the entire internet against SOPA and PIPA in 2012.) For this latest battle, the org has planned two actions,... |
| TikTok defends itself against accusations of Chinese influence Posted: 24 Oct 2019 02:29 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge On Thursday, TikTok fired back after weeks of attacks from Congress over the company's ties to the Chinese government. In a blog post, TikTok maintained that it doesn't censor content critical of the Chinese government, and that none of its operations are subject to Chinese law. On Wednesday, senior senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) penned a letter to US intelligence officials asking that they investigate TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, for possible national security threats. It was the latest move from policymakers targeting the Chinese video-sharing app that has spurred a wave of anxiety in Congress as the social network only continues to grow in popularity with American users. "At TikTok, we... |
| Nissan’s new electric concept car looks like a solid successor to the Leaf Posted: 24 Oct 2019 02:25 PM PDT  Photo by Sam Byford / The Verge Nissan unveiled a strange new electric concept car this week at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Not strange in the sense that it had a virtual koi fish assistant, or that it resembled a boxy, Blade Runner-y sedan, or that it sings. No, the new Nissan Ariya concept is strange because of how normal it looks. For the first time in a few years, you can look at the newest Nissan concept and get a real sense of what the company might do with an electric car that isn't the Leaf. That's on the design side, at least. Nissan didn't tease too many technical details with the Ariya, save for saying that it was designed to be powered by a twin electric motor setup that will enable all-wheel drive performance. (Which, personally, I find sort of ironic... |
| Jack Dorsey says ‘hell no’ to joining Libra Posted: 24 Oct 2019 01:55 PM PDT  Photo by Chesnot/Getty Images Twitter will never join Libra, CEO Jack Dorsey said today at a Twitter media event in New York City. He said "hell no" when asked if he would join and explained that the Facebook-created cryptocurrency initiative didn't need to be a cryptocurrency to pull of its broader goals of democratizing the financial system. "I don't know if it's a gimmick," Dorsey said, "but a cryptocurrency wasn't necessary to make that work" "It's not an internet open standard that was born on the internet," Dorsey said. "It was born out of a company's intention, and it's not consistent with what I personally believe and what I want our company to stand for." At the same time, Dorsey was broadly enthusiastic about more decentralized cryptocurrencies,... |
