TiVo says its unreleased Roku and Apple TV apps are ‘on hold’

Last year at CES, TiVo said it would be launching apps for Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV sometime in 2019 that would let users watch live or recorded video without needing a separate TiVo Mini box. Now, a year later, TiVo still hasn't released an app for any of those streaming devices, and you probably won't see one soon. TiVo confirmed to TechHive that the Apple TV and Roku apps are "currently on hold," and based on a TiVo's executive comments, the Fire TV app doesn't seem imminent, either.

TechHive learned that the apps might be having some trouble in an interview at CES with Ted Malone, TiVo's VP of consumer products and services. Malone actually originally characterized the Apple TV and Roku apps as "in limbo," but a TiVo spokesperson...

British monarchy rocked by Instagram post

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, announced on Instagram that they "intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen." The two apparently did not consult with either the Queen or the Prince of Wales before publishing the statement, according to the BBC.

The statement marks a radical departure for one of the most carefully-managed families on Earth. A statement from Buckingham Palace feels frankly icy: "Discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

Instagram seemingly removes Grimes’ pregnancy announcement post for nudity violation

Musician Claire Boucher, better known by her stage name, Grimes, appears to have run afoul of Instagram's nudity ban in a recent post announcing her pregnancy. Grimes has since reuploaded an edited version of the photo with the caption, "Censored for insta haha — almost got away [with it]."

Instagram is clear in its guidelines that you cannot post images containing nudity. "We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don't allow nudity on Instagram," reads the policy. Instagram did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Grimes posted the photo Wednesday afternoon to her personal Instagram account, featuring the artist...

Samsung now thinks it sold either 400,000 or 500,000 Galaxy Folds, not sure

A month after Samsung executive Young Sohn wrongly claimed the company had sold 1 million Galaxy Fold phones, it has returned with another sales estimate at CES 2020. "I think we've sold 400,000 to 500,000 Galaxy Fold smartphones," Samsung co-CEO DJ Koh told Korea's Yonhap News Agency.

Given that Koh runs Samsung's entire mobile phone division, it's likely that his number is closer to the mark when it comes to the actual number of Galaxy Folds sold so far. But Koh's number is still frustratingly vague. Surely the co-CEO of Samsung has a better idea of how many of the company's most cutting-edge and experimental phones were sold than "400,000 to 500,000"?

It's not just a matter of nitpicking,...

NASA finally rolls out completed core of its massive new rocket

Posted: 08 Jan 2020 02:58 PM PST

Today, NASA rolled out the completed core section of its massive new rocket, the Space Launch System, which is designed to take people into deep space. The core stage, manufactured at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, is now heading to Mississippi where it will undergo key testing before it can launch for the first time.

The Space Launch System, or SLS, is a critical part of NASA's Artemis program, an initiative to return humans to the surface of the Moon by 2024. When it's complete, it'll be the most powerful rocket in the world, rivaling that of the Saturn V rocket that took the first astronauts to the Moon. However, the rocket has yet to actually fly. The SLS has been in development for most of the last...

Ring says it has fired four employees for abusing access to user video

In a letter to lawmakers about its security practices, Amazon's Ring admitted that, over the past four years, it has fired four employees for abusing access to user video data (via CNET).

Ring's letter was sent to five senators on Monday, in response to a letter they sent to Ring in November with questions about the company's security practices.

Here is what the company said:

Over the last four years, Ring has received four complaints or inquiries regarding a team member's access to Ring video data. Although each of the individuals involved in these incidents was authorized to view video data, the attempted access to that data exceeded what was necessary for their job functions. In each instance, once Ring was made aware of the alleged...

Sonos’ Google feud is really about platform power

Posted: 08 Jan 2020 02:01 PM PST

Yesterday, Sonos filed two lawsuits against Google over its wireless speaker tech. The company alleges that Google infringed on patents for syncing a group of speakers over a local network, an idea that Sonos pioneered before Google followed up with products like the Home and Home Mini.

It's not the first time Sonos has filed a lawsuit over patent infringement. But patents don't look like the heart of the issue here. The real fight with Google is about monopolies and modern computing — and a world where a few huge companies run locked-down ecosystems and can simply consume their competition.

Big companies copying smaller ones is nothing new. Plenty of startups like Sonos have innovative ideas, only to see larger competitors launch...

Samsung’s new external SSD has a built-in fingerprint reader for extra security

Posted: 08 Jan 2020 01:31 PM PST

When it comes to improving external SSDs, there are usually only two things that matter: making the drives faster and adding more storage. Samsung's new T7 Touch external SSD, which was announced at CES 2020, is a bit more creative. It adds a built-in fingerprint reader to secure your files, in addition to the usual improvements to transfer feed.

It's a clever idea that gives you the option to protect your files with biometric security even if you're using a laptop that doesn't have a fingerprint reader. Samsung says that you can register up to four different fingerprints with the T7 Touch, meaning you'll be able to easily share the drive with friends or teammates if you'd like.

Another addition to the T7 Touch is an...
