| Boeing employees’ frightening internal messages released in 737 Max investigation Posted: 09 Jan 2020 07:26 PM PST  Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images Boeing employees discussed the problems with the 737 Max in chats and emails that the company characterized as "completely unacceptable" in a statement released today. "Would you put your family on a Max simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't," one employee said to another in one chat in February 2018, according to documents obtained by The Verge and originally reported by The New York Times. "No," the other person replied. "I still haven't been forgiven by God for the covering up I did last year," a Boeing employee said in a different 2018 conversation, according to the documents. The employee appears to be referring to interactions with the Federal Aviation Administration. The redacted messages come from documents Boeing sent to... |
| Microsoft’s Windows Terminal is getting retro-style CRT effects, search, and more Posted: 09 Jan 2020 05:14 PM PST  Microsoft released its new Windows Terminal command line app last year, and the company has been steadily improving it in Windows 10 ever since. The software maker is now preparing a new update due next week that will introduce retro-style CRT effects. If you're old enough to be a fan of CRT monitors then this one is for you. A new experimental feature will be enabled that includes the classic scan lines that you might have seen before the world switched to flat monitors and LCD technology. Alongside the nostalgia trip, Microsoft is also adding some new functionality to Windows Terminal. You'll be able to search through terminal tabs to find input or output from various commands, and tab resizing is being added so you can fit more tabs... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2020 04:48 PM PST  Jonathan McIntosh / Creative Commons Today, Vice published an article about some, um, unconventional spying products marketed by a surveillance vendor that works with US government agencies. The vendor, the Special Services Group, offers many surveillance products that look like everyday items, but are actually equipped to be surveillance tools. Here are just a few of the products marketed in a Special Services Group brochure (ominously called the "Black Book"):

| Amazon suspiciously says browser extension Honey is a security risk, now that PayPal owns it Posted: 09 Jan 2020 03:04 PM PST  Just weeks after PayPal acquired popular coupon-finding browser extension Honey in November 2019 for $4 billion, Amazon shoppers were served a notification that the extension was a security risk. The security warning was first spotted by Politico editor Ryan Hutchins, and the timing of the message, as a Wired report points out, is suspect. Honey has been compatible with Amazon for years, so why was the retailer suddenly labeling it as malware at the height of holiday shopping season? A free extension for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, Honey scours the web for coupon codes and automatically applies them to shoppers' orders. It also tracks prices for individual items which is especially helpful for sites like Amazon, where... |
| Trump eases approval process for pipelines and infrastructure projects Posted: 09 Jan 2020 02:34 PM PST  Photo by NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty Images Approving new pipelines, mines, highways, and other major projects could become much easier under new rules proposed by President Trump today. Speaking from the White House, the president moved to amend the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a cornerstone of environmental law in the US. NEPA requires agencies to get public feedback on new projects, and to consider the potential environmental harms associated with any new federal or federally funded project. It's been used to oppose contested projects like the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines. Trump's proposed changes would exempt projects that aren't primarily federally funded. It would also place a tight two-year time limit... |
| Some NYC subway riders are accidentally getting double-charged because of Apple Pay Posted: 09 Jan 2020 02:06 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Dozens of subway riders in New York City are being charged extra for their transit rides, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority suspects that Apple may be partly to blame. The MTA is not explicitly pointing the finger at Apple, but it appears that some riders may be unwittingly putting their iPhones too close to the system's new tap-to-pay OMNY readers while simultaneously swiping their MetroCards at the turnstile. Last spring, the MTA began installing tap-to-pay readers as part of its new fare payment system called OMNY, which stands for "One Metro New York." Soon after, Apple announced a new feature called Express Transit, which would allow customers to pay for riding the subway without opening an app or unlocking their... |
| Twitch is launching Hype Train this afternoon, which means you’ll get emotes for going off in chat Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:25 PM PST  Image: Twitch Hype is important on Twitch. That's why the company is gamifying it with a new feature called Hype Train, launching on Thursday. If you donate enough to a partnered or affiliate channel, you'll see a bar pop up above chat, which will give donators rewards as it fills. Hype is what powers the biggest events on the site — like, for example, Awesome Games Done Quick, which raises an astonishing amount of money for a charity every year. (This year's beneficiary is the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and you can watch the streams live right now.) One person going off in chat with a large donation or a bunch of gifted subscriptions can prompt other viewers who feel similarly energized to do the same. When it happens, it's a beautiful thing to see,... |
| The appetite for live-streaming is bigger than ever Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:19 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge It would be easy to assume that because competition is so stiff among live-streaming platforms — for talent, for eyeballs — that the market is zero-sum. But as it turns out, that isn't actually true. According to a fourth-quarter report from the streaming tools provider StreamElements and the metrics tracker Arsenal.gg, the entire industry grew an astonishing 12 percent in the last year (based on hours watched). A lot of growth came from Facebook Gaming, which increased its hours watched by a full 210 percent — most likely from its signing of new streamers. According to the StreamElements report, Facebook had a 6 percent increase in streamers and a whopping 78 percent increase in the average number of viewers per hours streamed. While... |
| This folding 8K drone could rival DJI and Skydio Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:00 PM PST  It's been a few years since I walked over to the drone section of the CES show floor, but Autel Robotics gave me a good reason to finally revisit it this year. The company announced a total of three drones — the EVO II, the EVO II Pro, and the EVO II Dual — but the first two models have some serious specs that just blew me away. All three drones have the same body with different cameras. Let's start with the EVO II. It takes 48-megapixel photos and claims to shoot 8K video — which would make it not only the first drone to do so, but one of the first consumer-grade 8K cameras, flying or not. The company says it's native 10-bit 8K at 24 or 25 fps shot on a Sony IMX586 sensor, one designed for phones, and it was able to achieve 8K video... |
