| Google’s head of HR is leaving while worker unrest continues Posted: 10 Feb 2020 06:29 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google human resources chief Eileen Naughton is stepping down later this year, the company confirms to The Verge (via Fortune). Her title was VP of People Operations; according to Google, the team's goal is to be "the champions of Google's culture." Perhaps needless to say, Google's culture hasn't been in the best shape for a while. The company is still reeling from the revelations that multiple high-level Google and Alphabet executives were reportedly involved in sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual relationships, some of whom received multimillion-dollar severance packages after the fact, which angered Google employees to the point 20,000 of them staged a walkout. Since the walkout, d... |
| T-Mobile and Sprint’s industry-changing merger will reportedly clear its final hurdle tomorrow Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:35 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tomorrow is a day the wireless industry has long been waiting for, according to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal's well-guarded sources — a judge is expected to rule in favor of T-Mobile and Sprint in the lawsuit that attempted to stop their industry-changing merger. That should finally allow T-Mobile and Sprint to combine to take on AT&T and Verizon, as the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice have already approved the $26.5 billion deal. That means we may finally see if the combined company will be as good as T-Mobile and Sprint have promised — or if there'll be less competition than ever. T-Mobile and Sprint have maintained since the merger was announced that the deal would create competition,... |
| Google Chrome will block insecure downloads in coming months Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:06 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google has revealed plans to initially warn Chrome users about "insecure" downloads and eventually block them outright. "Today we're announcing that Chrome will gradually ensure that secure (HTTPS) pages only download secure files," Joe DeBlasio of the Chrome security team wrote in a blog post. "Insecurely-downloaded files are a risk to users' security and privacy. For instance, insecurely-downloaded programs can be swapped out for malware by attackers, and eavesdroppers can read users' insecurely-downloaded bank statements." Beginning with Chrome 82, due for release in April, Chrome will warn users if they're about to download mixed content executables from a secure website. Then, when version 83 is... |
| IBM picks Slack over Microsoft Teams for its 350,000 employees Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:18 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge IBM has picked Slack to power its chat communications companywide for its more than 350,000 employees, according to Business Insider. In what can only be seen as a big win for Slack over rival Microsoft Teams, the report reveals that IBM has been experimenting with Slack and is now rolling it out to all employees. It's a big test for Slack, but it has been one the pair has been working toward in recent years. Internal teams at IBM reportedly started using the chat app as far back as 2014, and this has grown over time. "Going wall to wall in IBM — it's basically the maximum scale that there is, so we now know that Slack will work for literally the largest organizations in the world," says Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield in an interview with... |
| US senators condemn Amazon’s ‘dismal’ safety records Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:10 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge In a letter sent Friday, US senators called on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to reform its safety practices and improve its treatment of workers, according to a letter first published by Reveal writer Will Evans and signed by Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker, among others. "Any practice that puts profits before worker safety is unacceptable," the letter reads. "We urge you to take immediate steps to protect your employees from workplace injuries. Your employees' lives and well-being depend upon your swift action." It's addressed directly to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and requests a written response, including what actions the company will take, by February 21st. Amazon has come under fire for dodging workplace... |
| Trump’s budget continues to boost nuclear energy Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:00 PM PST  Photo credit should read ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images Donald Trump's budget proposal for 2021 earmarks $1.2 billion for nuclear energy research and development and related programs. That's significantly more than the $824 million Trump proposed in his budget the previous year. Even with the sizable increase in requested funds, the amount is less than the $1.5 billion that Congress allocated for nuclear energy last year. Trump sold the bump in funding as a way to promote "revitalization of the domestic industry and the ability of domestic technologies to compete abroad." His administration also wants to ramp up uranium production in the US, calling it "an issue of national security." |
| Amazon is still crushing Google and Apple in the smart speaker market Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:57 PM PST  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Apple and Google are still struggling to come close to Amazon's enormous share of the home smart speaker market, and that trend will continue through 2021, a new eMarketer report predicts. Some 70 percent of US smart speaker users will use an Amazon Echo in 2020, close to last year's 72.9 percent. By next year, that number may drop slightly to about 68.2 percent, according to the report. So Amazon's lead is slowly falling, but it still holds a dominant position. In contrast, eMarketer says just 31.7 percent of smart speaker owners will use a Google device in 2020, and Apple's home speaker products got lumped into the mixed "other" category, which is expected to barely crack 18 percent this year. "We had previously expected Google and... |
| These modded scanners let you play techno using barcodes Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:45 PM PST  Image: Electronicos Fantasticos Every so often, a tweet goes viral showing someone making a beat by wielding two barcode scanners in front of a sheet of assorted line patterns. It's like cyberpunk grocery checkout with a dash of Aphex Twin, and over the years, these videos have racked up millions of views, shared by the likes of artists like Shawn Wasabi and club culture tastemaker outlet Boiler Room. But I'm always shocked that the clips largely stay constrained to the circles of social media and Reddit. The other week, another one of these videos went viral (it has 1.9 million views on Twitter at the time this article was published), and I gave in. I had to know two things: who is behind this barcode techno, and how do they make it work?

| Sprint’s first smartwatch for kids comes with location tracking Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:30 PM PST  Sprint Sprint is the latest company to introduce a smartwatch for kids, complete with GPS tracking. The WatchMeGo device is designed for children ages four to 12 who may not be quite ready for their own smartphones, the company says. In addition to tracking a child's location, the watches can send and receive voice and text messages to a parent's smartphone app. Parents can set up alerts to notify them if a child wearing the WatchMeGo leaves a "defined safety zone," like their school or neighborhood. The watch also has an SOS button that will send immediate alerts to the parent. The $144 WatchMeGo watch requires a rate plan that runs about $10 a month, and it's available on Sprint's website and retail stores. It comes with the Kidomi app,... |
| Apple’s epic patent troll fight drags on as appeals court strikes down latest request Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:18 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A US appeals court has rejected a request from Apple to reconsider a split decision ruling that found it infringed on patents owned by notorious patent troll VirnetX, Reuters reports. It's the latest step in a convoluted multiyear legal battle between the two companies that dates back to 2010. In April 2018, a federal court in Texas ordered Apple to pay $502.6 million to VirnetX for violating four patents relating to internet-based communications, which, in this case, mostly means the underlying technology behind Apple products like FaceTime and iMessage. Apple and VirnetX, a patent-assertion entity that makes money by suing other companies, are also engaged in a number of related patent infringement suits, although this one is the most... |
