| Valve is bringing its Index VR headset to more countries Posted: 21 Nov 2019 06:23 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Right after announcing Half-Life: Alyx, already one of the most anticipated VR games of all time, Valve has confirmed plans to bring its Index headset and controllers to other countries, starting with Canada and Japan today. The $999 Index is already available in the US and Europe. Half-Life: Alyx won't require a Valve Index, but the company's own VR headset is likely to provide the most high-end experience available. It's also unclear to what degree the game might be optimized for Valve's Index controllers, which offer better individual finger sensing than most competitors. Half-Life: Alyx will be a free download for all Index owners, while people who buy the headset before the end of the year will get access to in-game cosmetic items... |
| Two days after launch, Google Stadia founders finally have their access codes Posted: 21 Nov 2019 05:55 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge The launch of Google's Stadia cloud gaming service has been an absolute mess, overpromising and underdelivering at every turn — but at least those gamers who put their faith in Google can actually play now. Google just tweeted that it has finally delivered access codes to everyone who purchased the $130 Stadia Founder's Edition — some of whom were sitting around with useless Stadia gamepads, waiting for the ability to actually be a "Founder", until today.

| Posted: 21 Nov 2019 04:29 PM PST  Image: Everyday Robots Today, Alphabet's X moonshot division (formerly known as Google X) unveiled the Everyday Robot project, whose goal is to develop a "general-purpose learning robot." The idea is that its robots could use cameras and complex machine learning algorithms to see and learn from the world around them without needing to be coded for every individual movement. The team is testing robots that can help out in workplace environments, though right now, these early robots are focused on learning how to sort trash. Here's what one of them looks like — it reminds me of a very tall, one-armed Wall-E (ironic, given what the robots are tasked to do): Here's a GIF of a robot actually sorting a recyclable can from a compost pile to a... |
| How to use Alexa to turn on the lights Posted: 21 Nov 2019 02:05 PM PST  Dan Seifert / The Verge Deploying smart home technology is one of the more appealing promises of voice control systems like Alexa. It's tempting (and maybe inevitable) to fall down a rabbit hole of complexity when you're setting up a smart home because there are so many options and possibilities. If you're just starting out, it might be a good idea to keep it simple for your first step into creating a smart home. For example, let's begin by installing a single light bulb that you can ask Alexa to turn on and off. There are many brands of smart light bulbs, and as a result, setup procedures may differ from brand to brand. I picked a Philips Hue bulb because they're easily available, quick to set up, and well supported. Initial setupThe first step is to screw in... |
| The Air Force will change how it selects its next launch providers following Blue Origin protest Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:55 PM PST  An artistic rendering of Blue Origin's future New Glenn rocket. | Image: Blue Origin The Air Force is going to change the criteria for selecting its next round of rocket launch providers after one company competing for the gig protested the procurement process, Space News first reported. Private spaceflight company Blue Origin argued that the selection benchmarks were unfair — an argument that was upheld this week by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Currently, the Air Force is on the hunt for two companies to launch the US's national security satellites from 2022 to 2026 as part of its Launch Service Procurement program. For rocket companies, being selected is a huge opportunity, as it could result in hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in launch contracts. The Air Force put out a call for proposals in... |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:34 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge If Samsung's Galaxy S10 or Note 10 phones and some truly wireless earbuds are on your holiday shopping list for this year, there are some pretty incredible deals happening right now ahead of Black Friday. At several retailers, Samsung has marked down the unlocked Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus to the lowest prices yet, with free Galaxy Buds headphones included along with six months of Spotify Premium. The S10 lineup of phones is cheaper, too, matching their lowest prices since Prime Day 2019. If you missed out on that deal, these phones also include free Galaxy Buds. The S10E is cheaper, too, but unfortunately, that device is omitted from the free Galaxy Buds promotion. Starting with the Note 10, there are several configurations and... |

| Google Assistant will now help you read to your kids from across the world Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:20 PM PST  Image: Google Google today launched a nice new Assistant feature called My Storytime that lets parents simulate reading to their kids when one parent is away from home. A parent will be able to record themselves reading chapters of stories, and the other parent (or babysitter) can ask Google Nest to read those recordings to the kids. Google says that, once the feature is set up, the person at home just has to say "Hey Google, talk to My Storytime" to their Google Nest, and they will be able to pick the recording of the chapter they want to listen to with their children. Recording a story takes a bit of initial setup, but it's pretty easy to do. Visit the My Storytime website, log into your Google account... |
| Half-Life: Alyx minimum specs mean you may need to upgrade your gaming PC Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:00 PM PST  Valve If you're excited about the first new Half-Life game in 12 years and you're seriously thinking about a VR headset, you should know that it may not be your only expense. In fact, some people who already use headsets may need to shell out extra cash. That's because, as Ben Kuchera at our sister site Polygon notes, the minimum system requirements for Half-Life: Alyx are higher than what VR has traditionally asked for. While the VR minspec has stayed relatively stable ever since the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive first appeared on the scene in 2016 — a fast dual-core CPU, Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX480 or better, and 8GB of RAM — Alyx now demands a quad-core Core i5 chip or better, a GTX 1060 or better with 6GB of video RAM, and 12GB of system... |
| MTA floods NYC subway entrance because ‘climate change is real’ Posted: 21 Nov 2019 12:37 PM PST  Courtesy of Kaye Blegvad A flooded subway entrance stopped Brooklyn commuters in their tracks yesterday. For four hours on Wednesday, the staircase leading down to Broadway Station in Williamsburg was blocked off and completely submerged. The sight was even stranger since it hadn't rained in New York City that day. It turns out that the flooding was intentional; the city's Metropolitan Transit Authority was testing one of the gadgets it has put in place to protect the subway system from a future super storm. In the case of a real disaster, a "flex gate" seals off the entrance to the station and can hold back up to 14 feet of water. The MTA says that it was checking to make sure that a new gate at the Broadway Station was... |
