Apple’s iOS 13 is running on 50 percent of all iPhones after three weeks

Apple's iOS 13 update may have been riddled with bugs over the course of its first few weeks post-release, but that hasn't had a meaningful impact on user adoption. According to the company, more than 50 percent of all iPhones were running iOS 13 just 26 days after launch. That's slower than iOS 12, which took just 23 days to hit 50 percent, but not by much. If you count only iPhones purchased in the last four years, the figure jumps up to 55 percent.

The numbers look even better — vis a vis Android — when you take into account that most other phones are running iOS 12. Of all iPhones currently accessing the App Store, which is how Apple checks these numbers, 41 percent are using iOS 12 and just 9 percent are using an earlier mobile OS....

Google’s Stadia wireless controller won’t be very wireless at launch

You'll probably be plugging in Google's wireless Stadia controller when the cloud gaming service launches on November 19th. While it'll work wirelessly while playing Stadia on a Chromecast Ultra, you'll have to plug in a USB-C cable to use it with computers or phones at launch, Google tells The Verge.

When Google first showed off the controller in March, the company touted how you could seamlessly switch from gaming on your TV to a laptop or phone while using the same exact controller, without having to pair it to each device — because the controller would stay directly connected to Stadia's servers over its own Wi-Fi.

But as 9to5Google spotted earlier today, Google recently added a disclaimer in a new Stadia explainer video that...

Netflix says Stranger Things’ third season is record-breaking, but what does that mean?

Posted: 16 Oct 2019 03:53 PM PDT

Stranger Things

There's no question that Stranger Things is one of Netflix's most popular shows, but we have to question whether it's as record-breaking as Netflix claims. The company reported in its third-quarter earnings that Stranger Things' third season is "the most watched season to date," with "64 million member households" watching it within the first month of its release.

Netflix isn't exactly forthcoming about how it collects those numbers. In the past, the company has said that it counts one view for a film such as Bird Box when a Netflix viewer's account completes at least 70 percent of the film. The logical leap would be to assume that Netflix counts a season being watched as one account completing at least 70 percent of every episode that...

The UK porn block is finally dead

The United Kingdom has finally scrapped a plan to require age verification for accessing porn online, following years of tortuous debate and setbacks. Nicky Morgan, the secretary of state for digital, culture, media, and sport, says the government "will not be commencing" Part 3 of the Digital Economy Act 2017 — which would have required internet users to prove they were over 18 before viewing pornographic sites. Instead, it will focus on protecting children through "wider online harms proposals."

The porn ban was already widely considered dead. It was shelved indefinitely in July, following multiple delayed deadlines. Critics pointed to potential privacy issues with the proposal, as well as the outsized power it could have given porn...

Hey, Lady Gaga, lemme explain Ninja to you

Posted: 16 Oct 2019 02:48 PM PDT

Hey, Lady Gaga! You've asked a great question — who is Ninja, really? — and I'm here to explain in a blog post, because that's how the content sausage gets made, baby. (I am not being forced to do this, but I am getting paid to, and, honestly, isn't that just about the same thing?)

In any case: your question. Ninja is a guy who was born in Detroit, MI, with the name Richard Tyler Blevins. Now he's a 28-year-old who lives somewhere else, presumably, who streams himself playing video games live on a website no one really watches yet, called Mixer to an audience of tens of thousands of people who adore him for his gameplay and his ~crackling~ wit.

Basically, this guy's a...

This live stream of a whale skeleton getting eaten is metal as hell

Posted: 16 Oct 2019 02:46 PM PDT

An ocean exploration team just discovered a whale skeleton on the seafloor, and it's live-streaming the bone-eating worms and other critters gnawing away at what's left of the carcass.

"What an amazing find in preparation for Halloween," one of the scientists on board the ship said during the broadcast.

Even in death, the whale has a lot to give to its fellow sea creatures. When it dies, its remains — called a whale fall — provide food and important nutrients to the ecosystem on the seafloor. It's what brought all the critters to the party we get to view today.

Yahoo will delete all Yahoo Groups content on December 14th

Yahoo Groups, like much of Yahoo, are a relic of a previous internet age. Although they aren't widely used now, groups once served as a watering hole for discussion on wonderfully niche interests, such as TV show fan communities and extremely geeky computing topics — almost like Reddit does now. Looking through the directory today, you can still find groups with thousands of members, and some groups have been active as recently as this year.

Sadly, it seems that almost all of that internet history is going to be erased. In a support document, Yahoo says that, effective December 14th, it will be deleting all content that has been posted to Yahoo Groups. And it's going to largely shut down the service even sooner, as you won't be able to...

Lawmaker who helps fund NASA questions the agency’s need to get to the Moon by 2024

Posted: 16 Oct 2019 01:41 PM PDT

An influential member of Congress has expressed doubt over NASA's ambitious plans to put humans on the Moon by 2024, arguing that 2028 might be a safer time frame for the next lunar landing. The concern seemingly spells trouble for NASA's Artemis program, which may now be in jeopardy of not receiving the funding it needs from lawmakers.

In a hearing on Wednesday, Rep. José Serrano (D-NY), chairman of the House subcommittee that appropriates funds for NASA, cited the potential astronomical cost of the space agency's lunar program. He claimed that some experts have estimated that it could cost more than $25 billion over the next five years, and that money will be hard to justify, especially since many other government programs are in need...

Netflix won’t ‘shy away from taking bold swings’ as streaming competition heats up

It turns out Stranger Things isn't just a popular show, but a key player in Netflix's growth.

Netflix bounced back from a disastrous second quarter, adding 6.8 million subscribers and bringing in $5.2 billion in revenue over the past three months, up from 6 million subscribers and $4 billion the same time last year. The company now has more than 158 million subscribers worldwide. The numbers suggest that Netflix is seeing a rebound in subscriber growth, even if it's not as much as Netflix may have hoped.

Following today's earnings, Netflix's stock jumped back up, showing a sign of confidence from Wall Street. Netflix's stock had dropped around 23 percent since its second quarter earnings in July, which marked the first time the company...
