| FBI violated Americans’ privacy by abusing access to NSA surveillance data, court rules Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:06 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Federal Bureau of Investigation made tens of thousands of unauthorized searches related to US citizens between 2017 and 2018, a court ruled. The agency violated both the law that authorized the surveillance program they used and the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. The ruling was made in October 2018 by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), a secret government court responsible for reviewing and authorizing searches of foreign individuals inside and outside the US. It was just made public today. The program itself, called Section 702 and part of the broad and aggressive expansion of US spy programs in the years after 9/11, granted... |
| Essential reveals Project Gem smartphone with very long, unusual design Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:01 PM PDT  We know next to nothing about the images you're about to see — except that they don't look like any phone we've ever seen before, and that they come from Andy Rubin, the controversial mobile industry executive who co-founded Android, left Google amid allegations of sexual misconduct while retaining a huge severance package, and went on to create the Essential Phone. (He also co-created the T-Mobile Sidekick, aka Danger Hiptop, many years ago.)
The photos appear to show an elongated phone with a very, very tall UI composed of card-like apps, but with big buttons that look like they'd be perfectly at home on a smartwatch. It look... |
| Ring has made it ridiculously easy to surround your house with smart lights and cameras Posted: 08 Oct 2019 04:51 PM PDT  Ring Stick Up Cam. It wasn't that long ago when installing security cameras and lighting around your home was an expensive, cumbersome process. You needed to wire power and connectivity to the cameras, dig trenches or run wiring for the lights, and then rig up a system to control and monitor it all. Ring's latest products this year address those challenges head-on: they are inexpensive, easy to install, and run on batteries or even solar so you don't have to run wiring to them at all. Ring has had battery-operated doorbells for a few years, but now, it has a whole suite of products that require no wiring and very little work to install. For the past few weeks, I've been testing Ring's Stick Up Cam, Smart Lighting, and Peephole Cam, each of which addresses... |
| Facebook wants Portal to be your next office webcam Posted: 08 Oct 2019 04:05 PM PDT  Photo by Nick Statt / The Verge Facebook's Portal video chat devices will be able to run Workplace, the company's collaboration software, so you'll be able to make video calls at work using the Portal's video calling technology, Facebook announced today. Until now, Facebook has positioned Portal primarily as a way to chat with friends and family, but the new work-focused updates suggest Facebook is targeting office workers as well. Video calls for Workplace seem as if they will work like those made from a Portal device at home, and will take advantage of Portal's Smart Camera functionality to automatically frame the people on the call, according to VentureBeat. A marketing image from Facebook also appears to show that you can share content with the person you're... |
| YouTube is letting politicians reserve advertising space for 2020 election Posted: 08 Oct 2019 03:12 PM PDT  The Verge YouTube is allowing politicians to purchase precious ad space on the platform, including ads that target voters in important early voting states like Ohio and South Carolina. The company is giving politicians and their campaign teams access to a new tool that recently launched, letting them secure advertising placements of their choice months in advance, according to The Wall Street Journal. Beginning on November 15th, Google will let buyers purchase placement on YouTube for all of 2020, the Journal reports. The Verge confirmed with YouTube that the tool, called Instant Reserve, is a new reservation tool in Google Ads. The company is testing with advertisers across multiple industries. The goal is to allow marketers to plan and book... |
| EV startup Canoo’s mysterious backers named in new harassment lawsuit Posted: 08 Oct 2019 02:53 PM PDT  Image: Canoo Electric vehicle startup Canoo and its CEO Stefan Krause have been accused of discrimination, harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination in a new lawsuit. The suit — which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday by Christina Krause, Canoo's former head of communications and Stefan Krause's wife — also claims the California startup's primary investors are a German businessman with ties to Buckingham Palace, and a Chinese tycoon connected to the Communist Party of China. In the complaint, Christina Krause says that despite being a founding employee, she was marginalized and increasingly pushed aside by her husband who allegedly pressured her to sign a postnuptial agreement while he was carrying out an affair. She... |
| Photoshop and Lightroom users should wait before updating to macOS Catalina Posted: 08 Oct 2019 02:49 PM PDT  Plug-ins that are quarantined returns a Photoshop error, "file was not found". Adobe is recommending that Photoshop and Lightroom Classic users hold off on updating their computers to macOS Catalina, Apple's latest desktop operating system software, until all the "known compatibility issues" have been resolved. Support documents published yesterday in conjunction with Catalina's release highlight various issues related to broken plug-ins and incompatibility with 32-bit applications. In particular, customers using older / legacy versions of Lightroom Classic or Photoshop (which use 32-bit licensing components and installers) definitely shouldn't upgrade, as Adobe says they're "not supported in any way for use on macOS Catalina." |
| Cocaine is driving deforestation, climate change, and migration Posted: 08 Oct 2019 02:39 PM PDT  Photo credit should read LUIS ACOSTA/AFP/Getty Images The cocaine trade, and efforts to stop it, are causing $214.6 million in damage every year, new research released today shows. Drug-related deforestation is also driving people out of the region, and making climate change worse. To move cocaine to its North American consumers, South American drug traffickers cut through Central America. To avoid law enforcement, the traffickers are using increasingly remote routes, including protected national forests. To launder their money, they invest in ranching and agriculture, two businesses notorious for bulldozing and burning forests to make way for livestock and crops. These findings are from three new reports presented in discussions hosted by the government of Costa Rica about how countries... |
| Microsoft’s Your Phone app can now route calls from your Android phone to your PC Posted: 08 Oct 2019 02:28 PM PDT  Microsoft Microsoft announced that its latest preview build 18999 for Insiders (20H1) adds call support to the Your Phone app on Windows 10. Following its update in the summer that rolled out the app's ability to mirror your phone's text messages and notifications, this will let you leave your phone in your pocket while you're on the PC.

| Linksys’ mesh routers can now detect motion using Wi-Fi Posted: 08 Oct 2019 01:58 PM PDT  Photo courtesy Linksys Security cameras are all well and good, but what do you do if you really want privacy? Linksys may have come up with a solution with its new Linksys Aware service, which claims to use mesh Wi-Fi to sense motion without the use of cameras or other hardware. The company is offering a free 90-day trial, after which a subscription will cost $2.99 per month or $24.99 annually. The idea of using Wi-Fi to detect motion without the use of cameras or other sensors is not a new one. While Linksys hasn't specifically described the technology involved here, the basic concept behind the idea is that the Wi-Fi signals are set up by the router to bounce off each other and cancel each other out; something in motion will interfere with this process and... |
