| Which Microsoft Office product is each Democratic presidential candidate? Posted: 19 Feb 2020 07:33 PM PST  Photo by Caroline Brehman/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images On Wednesday night, six Democratic presidential candidates took the debate stage in Las Vegas and we didn't really learn anything new except that former mayor Pete Buttigieg loves Microsoft Word. At the beginning of the night's events, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tore into Buttigieg discounting his healthcare plan as just a "PowerPoint." In a total weirdo move, Buttigieg responded by saying "I'm more of a Microsoft Word guy." This exchange led The Verge to pair each Democrat on stage with their spirit-Microsoft-Office program. Enjoy. Word - Pete ButtigiegOkay. If Pete Buttigieg wants Microsoft Word, he can have it. Word is one of the first pieces of software children learn to use. It's basic. It's bland. It's boring. Word Art isn't... |

| AMD graphics cards are allegedly overheating because the screws are too loose Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:47 PM PST  Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge The last thing on my mind when building or upgrading a PC is whether my graphics card's screws are tight enough. But it turns out that even a few slightly loose screws could cause a GPU to overheat, because if the cooler isn't tightly pressed against the silicon, it can potentially cause the graphics chip to heat up more than it should. That's according to Asus, which was busy investigating its AMD RX 5700 series graphics cards' reportedly hot temperatures when it discovered that adding additional pressure to the heatsink could cool those GPUs down. Asus says that while AMD tells manufacturers to mount the cooler using a force of 30-40 PSI, it found it could add new screws to increase the mounting pressure to between 50-60 PSI —... |
| George Zimmerman sues Warren and Buttigieg for $265 million over ‘defamatory’ Travyon Martin tweets Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:29 PM PST  Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel/Tribune News Service via Getty Images George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2012, is suing Democratic presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren for $265 million, claiming they defamed him in tweets (via Washington Times). Here are the tweets Zimmerman is suing over, which were posted earlier this month on what would have been Trayvon Martin's 25th birthday. Neither tweet mentions Zimmerman by name.

| The most interesting new Android 11 features so far Posted: 19 Feb 2020 04:16 PM PST  Photo by Avery White for The Verge Google has released the first developer preview for Android 11, the next version of its mobile operating system. It's the earliest Google has ever done a preview like this, so the updates here aren't that front-facing, but Google's making some big promises, like improved support for 5G, better privacy features, and new messaging interfaces. Also: this is really, really a preview meant for developers only — it's just for the Pixel 2, 3, 3A, or 4, and it can only be installed with a full flash that will wipe all your data. In other words, you shouldn't install this on your main device, unless you like using a busted phone. Fortunately, we've got a spare Pixel around and dug up some neat features in the early beta. Here's what's new so... |
| Boston Dynamics’ Spot isn’t quite the terrifying robot hunter you think it is Posted: 19 Feb 2020 04:04 PM PST  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge For years now, robot maker Boston Dynamics' Spot has acted as a symbol of the impending robot takeover, despite the best efforts of its creators to position it as a helpful and multi-skilled human companion. The dog-like bot has been seen opening doors and briskly covering ground at scary speeds, and its signature aesthetic has even inspired a sinister Black Mirror episode about far-future, robotic human hunters. But Spot may not be the manifestation of Skynet that most AI scaremongers want to think it is. According to documents obtained by OneZero detailing a Spot trial with the Massachusetts State Police, the robot can fall short in real-world scenarios and even fail to work entirely. The trial lasted 90 days starting in August of... |
| Larry Tesler, the UI pioneer responsible for cut, copy, and paste, dies at 74 Posted: 19 Feb 2020 03:13 PM PST  Image: Wikipedia Larry Tesler, a computer scientist who is most well-known for creating the seminal computer concepts cut, copy, and paste, died on Monday at age 74. Tesler was born in 1945 in New York and studied computer science at Stanford, according to Gizmodo. After working in AI research, he joined Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 1973, where he developed cut, copy, and paste. The concepts would later become instrumental user interface building blocks for both text editors and entire computer operating systems. PARC is most famous for its early work on graphical user interfaces and how to navigate them with a mouse — and because Apple co-founder Steve Jobs saw this early research and used it as inspiration to develop better iterations... |
| Sling TV loses subscribers for the first time as streaming competition grows Posted: 19 Feb 2020 02:37 PM PST  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Sling TV has run into its first quarterly subscriber loss, parent company Dish reported today. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the live TV streaming service ended Q4 with 2.59 million subscribers, down from the 2.69 it reported at the conclusion of Q3. Dish attributed the drop to increased competition. Yes, Sony's PlayStation Vue might've shut down at the end of January, but YouTube TV (now with over 2 million subscribers) and the Disney-owned Hulu with Live TV (over 3.2 million subscribers) are formidable rivals. And that's only counting direct alternatives. Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, CBS All Access, and others continue to divide consumer attention — and soon HBO Max, NBCUniversal's Peacock, and Quibi will be added to that... |
| This website creates karaoke song versions of any YouTube video Posted: 19 Feb 2020 02:21 PM PST  If you've ever tried and failed to find your favorite song in a karaoke song book, you'll have better luck on Youka, a free website that creates karaoke songs out of any YouTube video. Youka, short for "YouTube to karaoke," isolates vocals from tracks and pulls lyrics from sites online. Technologist Andy Baio, who first pointed out the app, notes that the service most likely uses Spleeter, an open-source AI tool that isolates vocals from songs. The app works on just about any song, so long as there are lyrics available for it online. Though the language selector on the side of the site only shows a couple of different options, Youka's creator says the service supports more than 108 languages so it'll work on non-English songs as well.... |
| Facebook sued by the IRS for $9 billion in unpaid taxes Posted: 19 Feb 2020 01:14 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook is facing a lawsuit from the US Internal Revenue Service, which claims the social network owes $9 billion in unpaid taxes, according to Reuters. That lawsuit went to trial in a San Francisco court on Tuesday, and the crux of the case is a 2010 deal between Facebook and an Irish subsidiary it uses to shuffle money around internationally. The IRS alleges Facebook undervalued the intellectual property it sold to the subsidiary, thereby dodging billions in taxes. Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer, AR and VR chief Andrew Bosworth, and three other Facebook executives will be called to testify, Reuters reports, and Facebook expects the trial to last three to four weeks. Many giant tech companies... |
