| Transcription service Rev is raising prices for the first time to $1.25 a minute Posted: 23 Jan 2020 04:13 PM PST  Image: Rev Online transcription service Rev is raising its prices for the first time ever, from $1 a minute to $1.25. The price hike was disclosed in a message the company sent to Rev transcribers on Thursday outlining the change and assuring the contract workers that this is not expected to significantly impact the number of job orders available. The company, which has been around since 2010, is one of the leading online transcription services, and it made its name largely off its advertised $1 per minute rate. "We've already spoken with dozens of clients. They seem to get it: companies raise prices. Rev has been charging $1 per minute since we launched almost a decade ago and that's been far less than our competition," reads Rev's message to... |
| Google I/O 2020 will kick off on May 12th Posted: 23 Jan 2020 04:05 PM PST  Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge Google has just revealed that its next I/O developer conference will take place from May 12th to May 14th. The company revealed the date after users participated in its annual I/O teaser, which this year was a collaborative online game to restore a fictional satellite network. When the game was completed, the constellation of satellites spelled out the date. In a tweet, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said I/O 2020 will be at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, which is in Mountain View near Google's HQ and is where Google has hosted the event for the past few years.

| Sonos CEO apologizes for confusion, says legacy products will work ‘as long as possible’ Posted: 23 Jan 2020 02:14 PM PST  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge Sonos CEO Patrick Spence just published a statement on the company's website to try to clear up an announcement made earlier this week: on Tuesday, Sonos announced that it will cease delivering software updates and new features to its oldest products in May. The company said those devices should continue functioning properly in the near term, but it wasn't enough to prevent an uproar from longtime customers, with many blasting Sonos for what they perceive as planned obsolescence. That frustration is what Spence is responding to today. "We heard you," is how Spence begins the letter to customers. "We did not get this right from the start." Spence apologizes for any confusion and reiterates that the so-called legacy products will "continue... |
| This hour-long Splatoon concert features holographic squid kids Posted: 23 Jan 2020 02:12 PM PST  Arguably the most important characters in Splatoon 2 are Pearl and Marina, a pair of aquatic DJs who host the show that airs each time you boot up the game. Outside of a few rare events, you don't really get to see them perform, though. That's what makes this new video from Nintendo so cool. It features the two virtual performers on a real stage with real musicians for close to an hour of wonderfully incomprehensible music. The concert actually took place last October, at an event called Nintendo Live 2019 in Kyoto. The Splatoon 2 pair were joined on tage by Callie and Marie, the squid sisters from the original game, and the opening act was none other than K.K. Slider, the singing dog from Animal Crossing. This kind of virtual... |
| Mean Girls channels Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game as culture becomes a ouroboros of remakes Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:59 PM PST  Time to break out your best pink outfits because Mean Girls — the popular 2004 Tina Fey cult comedy film, which is based on Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes and has since become a Broadway stage musical — is now being turned back into a movie. This time, it's adapting the musical, which, again, is already based on an existing movie. In other words, Mean Girls is pulling a Street Fighter: The Movie (the video game). You can thank Variety for bringing us this news. If you're not familiar with Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, it's one of the best examples of the cultural remake ouroboros in which we're now stuck. Once upon a time, Street Fighter (the original game series) was adapted into a movie (Street Fighter, r... |
| How to delete Cortana recordings and protect your privacy Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:40 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge If you use a PC, Xbox, or other Microsoft device, chatting with Cortana can be an easy way to get things done while your hands are occupied. But as with all voice assistants, beware of corporate snooping. In August, Motherboard discovered that Microsoft contractors listen to recordings of Cortana voice commands, sometimes from personal computers and browsers with little security. Cortana recordings are now transcribed in "secure facilities," according to Microsoft. But the transcription program is still in place, which means someone, somewhere still might be listening to everything you say to your voice assistant. Don't worry: if this creeps you out, you can delete your recordings. Here's how. The first step is to open a Windows PC and... |
| Samsung’s next foldable may have an ‘ultra thin’ glass display Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:37 PM PST  Image: 王奔宏 via Weibo We first heard last month that Samsung's rumored new foldable, possibly called the Galaxy Z Flip, will apparently fold clamshell-style similar to Motorola's upcoming Razr and might have a glass screen. Today, leaker Max Weinbach of XDA Developers shared a few more rumors about that glass screen on Twitter. According to Weinbach, the phone's OLED screen will use a type of glass that Samsung may call "Samsung Ultra Thin Glass." Leaker Ice Universe used similar language last month, saying that the phone would have "an ultra-thin glass cover," and we noted last month that Samsung has applied for a trademark for the term in Europe. Weinbach also says that the upcoming foldable will have a crease in the middle — which you can see in the image... |
| Rocket League is killing online multiplayer on macOS and Linux Posted: 23 Jan 2020 12:33 PM PST  Image: Pysonix Today, Epic Games-owned Psyonix announced that it will stop supporting Rocket League on macOS and Linux starting in March. Psyonix says it will release a final patch on both platforms that month that will turn off online features, which means you won't be able to play online multiplayer anymore. You'll still be able to play matches with your friends sitting in front of your computer, though. According to a support document, here is what will still work after the patch:
And here's what won't work... |
| Star Trek: Picard knows Star Trek is a hard sell in 2020 Posted: 23 Jan 2020 12:29 PM PST  Meet Jean-Luc Picard, space dad. He was, for 178 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and four theatrical films, the captain of the starship Enterprise; an inherently trustworthy father figure who pushed everyone around him to be more noble, understanding, and empathetic. Eighteen years after his last appearance in the movie Star Trek: Nemesis, Picard is back in Star Trek: Picard — a CBS All Access show that plays surprisingly well for people who have not seen a moment of Star Trek as well as longtime fans. Star Trek: Picard is trying to go somewhere new. Shockingly, it seems a little bit nervous about it. Star Trek: Picard takes place 18 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, the final film starring the crew of The Next... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2020 12:16 PM PST  Photo By Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Last week, the House Antitrust Subcommittee held a unique hearing where executives from Sonos, Tile, Basecamp, and PopSockets laid out the challenges of working and competing with big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon. It felt like a turning point in the conversation about big tech platforms and the power they have over competition, something PopSockets CEO David Barnett called "bullying with a smile." "Help us Congress, you're our only hope," said Basecamp's David Heinemeier-Hansson. It was like that. But the hearing was just one part of a lengthy Antitrust Subcommittee investigation into the competitiveness of digital markets led by Chairman David Cicilline (D-RI) that's been going on for some time — a bipartisan... |
