| Here’s what I was thinking a decade ago, according to Google’s records Posted: 01 Jan 2020 04:51 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge "Most people are posting pics of them from the begining [sic] of the decade in order to show how far they've progressed in life. If you find that boring, how about using Google's servers to find out what you were EXACTLY THINKING 10 years ago?" That's what a Reddit user suggested in r/LifeProTips earlier today — so I figured I'd give it a go. Who wouldn't enjoy taking a creepy trip down memory lane with Google along for the ride? I popped over to Google's My Activity page, and hit the + button to filter down so I was only looking at activity before February 2010. Looks like I didn't actually use Google on New Year's Day, or every day at all for that matter — clearly, I wasn't as addicted to my phone back then. Which phone was I using?... |
| The IRS is done letting TurboTax easily steer you away from filing taxes for free Posted: 01 Jan 2020 03:26 PM PST  Photo by Kimberly White/Getty Images for TurboTax Earlier this year, ProPublica published a report showing how Intuit, the company behind TurboTax, was misleading users into paying to file their taxes — something that's supposed to be free in the first place for many. They, along with H&R Block, went so far as to keep the free versions from showing up in search engine results. This made it harder for users to find the free versions online, and many people ended up paying to file their taxes when they really didn't have to. Now, ProPublica reports that the IRS is taking steps against this. On Monday, the IRS released an addendum to its Free File program — the agreement with tax preparation companies intended to keep tax filing free — that now prohibits these companies from hiding the... |
| ProtonMail just added an encrypted calendar to its encrypted Gmail competitor Posted: 01 Jan 2020 03:23 PM PST  ProtonMail ProtonMail just launched an encrypted calendar beta to let users manage their schedules privately. It's the latest tool from a company known for its encrypted email services, and could help users who are looking to wean themselves off Google. The tool, called ProtonCalendar, is currently available for all users with a paid ProtonMail plan. In the future, the company plans to launch the calendar for all users. "We believe everyone has the right to plan dinner with friends without announcing to Google who will attend," the company writes in a blog post. Google has faced growing scrutiny over how it collects and stores user data. This year, fifty state attorneys general opened an antitrust probe into the tech giant, then expanded it to... |
| Google just beat humans at spotting breast cancer — but it won’t replace them Posted: 01 Jan 2020 01:47 PM PST  Photo credit should read ANNE-CHRISTINE POUJOULAT/AFP via Getty Images Google is developing artificial intelligence to help doctors identify breast cancer, according to a research paper published in Nature today. The model, which scans X-ray images known as mammograms, reduces the number of false negatives by 9.4 percent—a hopeful leap forward for a test that currently misses 20 percent of breast cancers, as reported by The New York Times. Today, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women, beat out only by lung cancer in its deadliness and overall prevalence. Early detection is the best defense most people have in identifying and treating the disease. Yet while mammograms are the most common detection tool, they miss a large number of cases. "Mammograms are very effective but there's... |
| FDA expected to ban most flavored e-cigarette pods Posted: 01 Jan 2020 08:30 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge All flavored e-cigarette pods except menthol and tobacco are expected to be banned by the Food and Drug Administration, which could announce the plans this week, according to the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. The flavored pod ban would be a step back from the nearly complete flavored vape ban the Trump administration initially floated back in September, as lung injuries from vaping were on the rise. There are two notable changes: menthol flavoring would be allowed, in addition to tobacco; and the flavor ban would only be applied to pods — flavored nicotine liquids could still be sold for open tank systems, according to the reports. The ban is meant to curb the rise in teenage vaping. Because open systems are seen as less... |
| Disney+ is now getting two big Marvel series in 2020 Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:51 AM PST  WandaVision was one of the biggest Disney+ shows planned for 2021, but the company announced today that the Marvel series' release date is moving up to 2020. Disney revealed the news in a sizzle reel teasing what's set to hit the streaming service this year. There's no specific release date for WandaVision yet, making it unclear if it will premiere before or after Marvel's other highly anticipated Disney+ show, Falcon and the Winter Solider. Adding the series helps Disney pad out 2020 with high-profile shows that can boost subscriber numbers. Marvel previously teased that the events of WandaVision will be referenced in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which is still slated for May 7th, 2021. The show follows Elizabeth... |
| Trump signs law increasing max robocall fine to $10,000 Posted: 01 Jan 2020 06:00 AM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge President Trump has signed a law increasing fines on spammy robocalls and requiring phone service providers to begin authenticating calls across networks. The Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act) was signed on Monday, after Congress approved the landmark bill earlier this month to give the federal government new abilities to go after illegal robocallers. Fines can now reach $10,000 per call. The law also requires major carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to use a new technology called STIR/SHAKEN to help customers know if they're being targeted by a robocaller with a spoofed number. "I applaud Congress for working in a bipartisan manner to combat illegal robocalls and malicious caller ID... |
