| Toyota makes a big bet on secretive flying taxi startup Joby Aviation Posted: 15 Jan 2020 06:07 PM PST  Joby Aviation, a California-based aerospace company that has been working on electric aircraft for over a decade, just closed its latest round of financing with $590 million in venture capital funding — and a major new partner. Toyota will work with Joby to design and build a fleet of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft for use in a ride-hailing service. The Japanese auto giant was part of a previous Joby funding round that closed in 2018, helping the secretive startup raise $100 million. Obviously Toyota liked what it saw, because it stepped up to lead this latest round of fundraising, bringing Joby's total raise to $720 million. Joby recently announced a deal with Uber to deploy its air taxis on its ride-hailing network —... |
| Google is finally killing off Chrome apps, which nobody really used anyhow Posted: 15 Jan 2020 05:46 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Today, Google shared an updated timeline for when Chrome apps will stop working on all platforms. June 2022 is when they'll be gone for good, but it depends on which platform you're on (via 9to5Google). Previously, we knew that Chrome apps someday wouldn't work on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but today, Google revealed that Chrome apps will eventually stop working on Chrome OS, too. A Chrome app is a web-based app that you can install in Chrome that looks and functions kind of like an app you'd launch from your desktop. Take this one for the read-it-later app Pocket, for example — when you install it, it opens in a separate window that makes it seem as if Pocket is functioning as its own app. Y... |
| Senators won’t be trusted to keep eyes off their phones during Trump impeachment trial Posted: 15 Jan 2020 05:40 PM PST  Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images President Donald Trump has been impeached, and his trial in the US Senate is expected to begin in earnest on January 21st. Don't expect to see any Senators tweeting @ Trump from the proceedings, though — because they'll have to leave their phones at the door. Tablets and laptops can't come along for the ride, either: according to an official sheet of "Decorum Guidelines" for Trump's impeachment obtained by CNN, there will be no "electronic devices" allowed. They'll have to be stored in the cloakroom outside the proceedings, apparently in a special new cabinet for that purpose. "I just saw a piece of cabinetry in the cloakroom where we will be required to turn over our iPads and our iPhones," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), according to The... |
| House of the Dragon, HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, won’t premiere until 2022 Posted: 15 Jan 2020 02:47 PM PST  Game of Thrones fans excited for House of the Dragon — the upcoming prequel series HBO announced late last year — should prepare to settle in for a bit of a wait. According to HBO's president of programming Casey Bloys, the series likely won't air until "sometime in 2022," via Deadline. Bloys wouldn't offer any more details than that, save to say that writing for the series is underway, and that there were no casting details to announce yet. He also emphasized that despite the fact that HBO had several other Game of Thrones successors in the works, all focus right now is on House of the Dragon. "There are no other blinking green lights or anything like that," Bloys told Deadline. "Sometime down the road who knows, but there are no... |
| Akai’s MPC One is a cheaper and smaller music-making machine Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:50 PM PST  Image: Akai Akai has announced a new entry to its iconic MPC (Music Production Center) line called the MPC One. The standalone music-making workstation has a more compact form factor and borrows bits from other Akai products to offer an MPC at a more affordable price point. There are a lot of similarities between the MPC One and its recent(ish) predecessors, the MPC Live and MPC X. They all have the signature square of 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, a multitouch display, network connectivity, MIDI input and output, and are integrated with sample platform Splice, among other things. When it comes to what sets the MPC One apart, it's impossible to ignore the price. The MPC One is $699, which is a bargain when you consider the MPC Live is... |
| This daily word guessing game is the perfect way to kill time — and confidence Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:47 PM PST  For the last few months, Ryan Jones' Guess My Word has offered a simple, albeit not always painless, way to breeze through downtime at work. It works in your browser, and it's pretty simple: guess a word, and the software will tell you if the correct answer falls before or after it. Sounds easy, right? Haha! Just kidding! It's actually surprisingly hard and will make you realize how rusty you are at reciting the alphabet in your head. The game offers a "normal" and "hard" word to try every day. You can go until you win, or give up like a quitter and come back the following day for a new word. Once you're done, you can check out the leaderboards to see where you fall. Like any good word of the day game, it encourages you to keep trying... |
| Go read this Vice article about how to securely organize your workplace Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:45 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the past few years, there has been a considerable uptick in union organizing from workers at tech companies. If you or your fellow workers have considered organizing and want to do so as securely as possible, Vice has put together a helpful guide that you should read. (Disclosure: I am a proud member of the Writers Guild of America, East union through my employment at The Verge.) Vice's guide covers how to assess your company's policies toward workers organizing, how to use things like encrypted messaging apps to communicate with your fellow organizers, and how to responsibly talk to the media about any collective action. A key thing the article highlights is that you should avoid doing any sort of organizing work on company... |
| Bose is closing all of its retail stores in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:34 PM PST  Photo by Gary Hershorn/Corbis via Getty Images Bose plans to close its entire retail store footprint in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. The company announced the decision earlier today and pointed to the fact that its headphones, speakers, and other products "are increasingly purchased through e-commerce" as the reasoning. Hundreds of employees will be laid off as a result. Bose opened its first physical retail store in 1993 and currently has locations in many shopping centers and the remaining malls scattered across the US. The stores are used to showcase the company's product lineup, which has grown beyond Bose's signature noise-canceling headphones in recent years to include smart speakers and sunglasses that double as earbuds. There are often similar demo areas at... |
| Wildfire smoke forced tennis players to withdraw from Australian Open matches Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:12 PM PST  Photo by WILLIAM WEST/AFP via Getty Images Athletes at the Australian Open are breathing in poor-quality air polluted by bushfire smoke, making it nearly impossible for them to do their jobs. Dalila Jakupovic, ranked 210 in the world by the Women's Tennis Association, withdrew from her qualifying match yesterday after smoke sent her into a coughing fit. Maria Sharapova's match was abandoned after two hours of play in smoky air, and Novak Djokovic said before the start of the tournament that delaying the competition until the air cleared might be necessary, albeit as a last resort. Questions over appropriate air quality conditions for professional sports have been ongoing since at least the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which had the highest levels of air pollution of any measured... |
| Apple’s latest AI acquisition leaves some Wyze cameras without people detection Posted: 15 Jan 2020 01:09 PM PST  Image: Wyze Earlier today, Apple confirmed it purchased Seattle-based AI company Xnor.ai (via MacRumors). Acquisitions at Apple's scale happen frequently, though rarely do they impact everyday people on the day of their announcement. This one is different. Cameras from fellow Seattle-based company Wyze, including the Wyze Cam V2 and Wyze Cam Pan, have utilized Xnor.ai's on-device people detection since last summer. But now that Apple owns the company, it's no longer available. Some people on Wyze's forum are noting that the beta firmware removing the people detection has already started to roll out. Oddly enough, word of this lapse in service isn't anything new. Wyze issued a statement in... |
