| Samsung sold 6.7 million 5G phones in 2019, beating expectations Posted: 02 Jan 2020 06:00 PM PST  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Samsung sold 6.7 million 5G phones in 2019 between the Galaxy S10 5G and the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, the company announced today, marking better than expected sales for devices supporting the next-generation mobile standard. While 6.7 million devices may not sound like a lot in the grand scheme of the phone market, it's better than expected — at IFA 2019, Samsung had only sold 2 million 5G devices, and only expected to sell 4 million total by the end of 2019. That number also makes up a considerable amount of the fledging 5G market, with Samsung claiming its devices count for 53.9 percent of the global 5G marketplace. 2020 is expected to be an interesting year for 5G growth across the... |
| Movies are already disappearing from Disney+ Posted: 02 Jan 2020 04:42 PM PST  Disney+ just launched in November, but some movies are already disappearing from the service, as reported by Polygon. For example, the three Home Alone movies were available when Disney+ launched, but the first Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York were removed from Disney+ yesterday, the first day of the new year. Movies going away from Disney+ kind of goes against the idea you might've had that it would be the place you could find everything Disney-related forevermore. (And you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that — in November, Disney did tell Comicbook that it, unlike some other services, wouldn't have a "rotating slate" of licensed movies each month.) But that doesn't exactly appear to be true, given that some movies have... |
| Building climate-saving tech digs up new problems Posted: 02 Jan 2020 03:12 PM PST  The solar power and electric vehicles we need to stop the climate crisis pose a different threat to people and the environment: a boom in mining. Moving away from fossil fuels depends on tech like batteries and solar panels that can provide alternative forms of energy. But digging up the raw materials can undermine human rights and destroy fragile ecosystems. As governments and industries try to tackle climate change by building up renewable energy, they'll need to consider other problems unearthed in the process. Policy experts writing in the journal Science warn that a more sustainable future could hinge on how leaders manage the demand for metals and minerals, including cobalt and lithium needed for rechargeable batteries. |
| Google disables Xiaomi integrations for all its devices after a Nest showed weird images Posted: 02 Jan 2020 02:57 PM PST  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Google has disabled Xiaomi devices' access to its Nest Hub and Assistant after a camera owner reported seeing unfamiliar still images apparently from other cameras, Google confirmed to The Verge. The issue was first reported by Android Police. "We're aware of the issue and are in contact with Xiaomi to work on a fix," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "In the meantime, we're disabling Xiaomi integrations on our devices." A user reported on Reddit that his newly purchased Xiaomi Mijia 1080p Smart IP security camera was showing what appeared to be still images from strangers' homes if he tried to stream from the camera to a Google Nest Hub. |
| A pop-up YouTube account might have locked down Rolling Stones rarities for decades Posted: 02 Jan 2020 02:49 PM PST  Photo by George Rose/Getty Images A collection of at least 75 rare performances by the Rolling Stones briefly appeared on a brand-new YouTube account on New Year's Eve, then vanished just a day later, as spotted by Variety. The uploads could have been the work of a dedicated pirate, but copyright lawyers have another theory: ABKCO Music & Records, which administers the rights to the band's 1960s catalog, uploaded them intentionally as a way to extend their hold on the recordings' copyrights in Europe. All the recordings turned 50 years old in 2019, meaning they were slated to become public domain in the European Union unless they were published in some form before the end of the year. But it's unclear if fleeting YouTube uploads are enough to satisfy the EU's publishing... |
| Ads for drug injury lawsuits were a problem long before they targeted HIV prevention medication Posted: 02 Jan 2020 02:34 PM PST  Astrid Riecken/Tribune News Service via Getty Images Facebook removed personal injury advertisements early this week that contained misleading information about medications designed to prevent the spread of HIV, after months of outcry from LGBTQ organizations like GLAAD, The Washington Post reported. Encouraging people at risk of HIV to take these medications is a key strategy in efforts to reduce the transmission of the virus — so misinformation around this drug is especially concerning. But doctors and public health experts have been concerned for years about the risks posed by similar ads from personal injury lawyers, without the same level of public outcry. "These types of ads have been ignored for so many years," says Liz Tippett, a professor studying drug injury ads at the... |

| Netflix’s The Witcher was a guaranteed success before it even premiered Posted: 02 Jan 2020 12:16 PM PST  Image: Netflix The Witcher is the most in-demand show in the world, according to Parrot Analytics, surpassing Disney+'s The Mandalorian. It also nearly topped Netflix's most popular shows of 2019, despite being released less than a month ago. By all metrics, The Witcher is a success. The show received middling reviews from critics, but that didn't stop people from bingeing their way through it, sometimes more than once. Part of that success has come from The Witcher's built-in audience, thanks to a popular video game franchise and book series. Fans are invested in the stories they've already spent time reading and playing through, making them almost guaranteed to dive into the series to check out the newest chapter. Like Disney and Warner Bros. before... |
| FDA announces new crackdown on flavored vaping products Posted: 02 Jan 2020 11:58 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today that it is ordering companies to pull flavored e-cigarette cartridges from the market. The agency promised regulatory action if the flavored pods and cartridges weren't removed from shelves within a month. Tobacco or menthol flavored cartridges are still allowed. The decision comes as the vaping industry waits for many products to go through the FDA's lengthy approval process. The announcement comes two days after President Trump said that there would be action on vaping "very shortly." As of August 2016, all electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), including e-cigarettes and vapes, were considered subject to the FDA's rules around tobacco products. Those rules state that any... |
