| Coronavirus email hoax led to violent protests in Ukraine Posted: 21 Feb 2020 04:47 PM PST  Photo by MAKSYM MYKHAILYK/AFP via Getty Images An email that appeared to come from Ukraine's ministry of health containing false information about coronavirus cases in the country led to a number of violent protests and standoffs with police, reports BuzzFeed News. The email originated from outside Ukraine, according to a government statement, and it falsely claimed there were five cases of coronavirus in the country. In reality, there have been zero reported cases of the virus in Ukraine. But the email was sent the same day evacuees from China landed in the country, and some Ukranian residents protested the evacuees' arrival by blocking roads that led to medical facilities and, in some cases, by smashing the windows of the buses carrying those evacuees. |
| Google addresses Huawei ban and warns customers not to sideload apps like Gmail and YouTube Posted: 21 Feb 2020 03:41 PM PST  Photo by Vlad Savov / The Verge Google on Friday evening published a support article meant to clarify the ongoing situation with Huawei. Last year, the United States government barred companies in the US from working with the Chinese hardware maker. "Google is prohibited from working with Huawei on new device models or providing Google's apps including Gmail, Maps, YouTube, the Play Store and others for preload or download on these devices," Tristan Ostrowski, legal director for Android and Google Play, wrote in the post, which was picked up by 9to5Google. According to Google, there's still plenty of confusion around what's going on — and exactly which products are subject to the Google services ban.

| Twitter’s messy verification process is making candidates wait Posted: 21 Feb 2020 03:04 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge On Friday morning, Jeff Sites, a challenger to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, didn't have a blue verification badge on his official Twitter page. Sites had announced his campaign months earlier, so he should have been verified months ago. It caught the eye of one volunteer named Nancy Levine, who has been monitoring Twitter's plan to verify all 2020 candidates, and has been lobbying Twitter on Sites' behalf specifically. After speaking with Levine, The Verge contacted Twitter to inquire about the nature of the delay; within hours, the candidate was verified. Still, the Sites situation illustrates the ongoing messiness of Twitter's verification process, which the platform touts as a key tool in preventing disinformation. Twitter says it has... |
| NBCUniversal reportedly close to acquiring Walmart’s Vudu video service Posted: 21 Feb 2020 03:03 PM PST  NBCUniversal is in advanced talks to acquire Vudu, the Walmart-owned video service, according to The Wall Street Journal. Though the talks "may not result in a deal," it sounds like NBCUniversal — part of Comcast, an investor in The Verge's parent company Vox Media — has a number of ideas for what it would do with Vudu. "Vudu's ad-supported service would serve as a complement to Peacock," which is NBCUniversal's upcoming, standalone streaming service, according to the Journal. Meanwhile, the digital movie rentals and purchases business would be tied into Fandango. (Did you know the app you might often buy movie tickets with is owned by Comcast? Now you do.) Fandango also operates its own FandangoNOW streaming service, but it doesn't... |
| Friends cast will make millions of dollars to return for a reunion special on HBO Max Posted: 21 Feb 2020 02:47 PM PST  It's the one where the gang gets back together — and all it reportedly cost was $3 million for each main cast member. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry will all return for a one-off special that's set to debut along with HBO Max in May. The cast "will earn more than double their former per-episode fee for the reunion and be paid between $2.5 million and $3 million for the special," according to The Hollywood Reporter, which was reporting based on anonymous sources. That's more than double what the actors were paid per episode in the 10th and last season in 2004. Friends is a big deal to HBO Max, and WarnerMedia as a whole. The company paid more than $425 million in 2019 to... |
| Russia is interfering in Democratic primary to help Sanders, officials say Posted: 21 Feb 2020 02:06 PM PST  Photo by RINGO CHIU/AFP via Getty Images Russia is interfering in the Democratic primary to help Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, US officials reportedly told the Sanders camp according to The Washington Post. According to a subsequent report by The New York Times, Sanders received the briefing about a month ago. There are few details from either report about what substantive actions Russia took to advance Sanders' campaign. The White House and lawmakers on Capitol Hill have also been briefed on Russia's latest interference efforts. In a statement responding to the news, Sanders harshly criticized the Russian government and any efforts at election interference. "Unlike Donald Trump, I do not consider Vladimir Putin a good friend. He is an autocratic thug who is... |
| Fortnite will let players mute the Rickroll emote in order to avoid getting copyright claimed Posted: 21 Feb 2020 01:11 PM PST  Fortnite introduced its Rick Astley-inspired emote just one week ago, and the company has already rolled out an update to let PC players mute the music in response to complaints: creators said they were getting copyright claims over the licensed track that plays when the emote is used. When a player uses the "Never Gonna" emote, part of Astley's famous song, "Never Gonna Give You Up," begins to play and their character starts dancing along. The addition marked one of the biggest songs backing a Fortnite emote — and that's what led to trouble. YouTube creators who played Fortnite and uploaded videos that included the emote got caught by YouTube's copyright detection system; essentially, the company that owns the rights to Astley's track... |
| Bethesda follows Activision in pulling games from Nvidia’s GeForce Now Posted: 21 Feb 2020 01:04 PM PST  Image: Nvidia Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service has had a somewhat rocky launch since it exited beta earlier this month, and it's getting even rockier. The company says it's now losing games from major publisher Bethesda Softworks, which owns Bethesda Game Studios series like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls as well as id Software franchises like Doom. According to Nvidia, one title that will stick around is Wolfenstein: Youngblood, for reasons the company is not disclosing. This announcement comes just a week after GeForce Now lost access to all Activision Blizzard titles due to a licensing dispute. Apparently, Nvidia had access to Activision Blizzard titles when GeForce Now was still in beta, but it never got full permission once the service... |
| Company buying .org offers to sign a contract banning price hikes Posted: 21 Feb 2020 12:12 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Ethos Capital, the company controversially buying the .org top-level domain, is trying to appease critics with a set of new rules. The legally binding agreements would ban steep fee increases for nonprofit domain holders, and they would establish an independent "stewardship council" that could veto attempts at censorship or inappropriate data use. The rules would kick in if Ethos successfully acquires Public Interest Registry (PIR), a nonprofit organization that manages .org. ICANN, which oversees the internet's top-level domains, is currently scrutinizing the acquisition. President and CEO Göran Marby previously expressed discomfort with the deal, and PIR announced today that it's extending the review period until March 20th. ICANN... |
