| A Californian has contracted coronavirus from an unknown source Posted: 26 Feb 2020 05:23 PM PST  Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images A person in California has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus, despite having not having any "relevant travel history" or exposure to someone who was known to have the illness, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an emailed statement today. This may be the first instance of "community spread," which is a term the public health community uses to say the source of the illness is unknown, the CDC said in its release. It's also possible that the patient was exposed to a person who'd traveled, and didn't realize they were infected. The Washington Post reported this person was in Northern California. The CDC statement came just after President Donald Trump ended a press conference where he named Vice President Mike... |
| Samsung pledges to improve Galaxy S20 camera after reviewers see issues Posted: 26 Feb 2020 04:42 PM PST  Photo by Dieter Bohn / The Verge Samsung has responded to some issues that early reviewers have found with the camera system on the new Galaxy S20 Ultra. The company says it's working on an update to improve the camera, though it doesn't acknowledge any specific problem or confirm when the fixes will be available. We have seen the issues ourselves with both focus hunting and overbearing skin smoothing. Our review will be posted soon. "The Galaxy S20 features a groundbreaking, advanced camera system," Samsung says in a statement to The Verge. "We are constantly working to optimize performance to deliver the best experience for consumers. As part of this ongoing effort, we are working on a future update to improve the camera experience." Reviews from publications... |
| Mike Pence, who enabled an HIV outbreak in Indiana, will lead US coronavirus response Posted: 26 Feb 2020 04:29 PM PST  Photo by Tom Brenner/Getty Images Vice President Mike Pence will take charge of the US response to the new coronavirus, President Donald Trump announced today. "Mike is not a czar," Trump said. "I don't view Mike as a czar." Pence is not a public health expert, either. Instead, as governor of Indiana, he slashed public health spending and delayed the introduction of needle exchanges, which led to the state's worst outbreak of HIV. He takes over from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar who has been heading the White House coronavirus task force since the beginning of January. Yale epidemiologist Gregg Gonsalves, who conducted the research linking the Indiana HIV outbreak to Pence's policies, tweeted that the decision "speaks to a lack of seriousness by the... |
| Etsy tells sellers it’s going to advertise their goods and take a big cut of the sale Posted: 26 Feb 2020 04:25 PM PST  Photo: Chris Welch / The Verge Etsy is going to start automatically advertising its sellers' products and taking a fee — at least 12 percent — for every sale it refers. The ads will appear on "high-traffic sites" like Google, Facebook, and Pinterest, and they'll be a requirement for shops doing more than $10,000 in sales each year. The change means a potentially big disruption for sellers that could lead to higher prices. Sellers are complaining in Etsy's online forum. One seller called it a "BS money grab." Others called it "absolutely unfair" and "the most ridiculous thing I have seen." "This is just greed!" one seller wrote. "While us who work hard suffer." All sellers will be opted into the advertising program when it goes live next month. Sellers making less than... |
| This CDC infographic lets you know if your facial hair won’t work with a mask Posted: 26 Feb 2020 04:22 PM PST  Image: CDC The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is preparing for the potential spread of the coronavirus in the US. You might be considering getting masks or a respirator to cover your mouth and protect yourself. Before you do, note that the CDC does not recommend you wear a mask to protect against coronavirus unless you are already showing symptoms. But if you find yourself in a situation where you need a mask and you have facial hair that could break the seal of that mask, check out this handy CDC infographic, which I've also included at the top of this post, to know what facial hair you can wear while not breaking the seal of that mask. In short, the CDC... |
| Google is teaming up with Adidas and EA for a new Jacquard product Posted: 26 Feb 2020 02:55 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google, EA Sports' FIFA Mobile brand, and Adidas' soccer arm are teasing some kind of collaboration involving Google's touch-sensitive fabric, which is made under the Jacquard name (via 9to5Google). In the short GIF in the teaser tweet, the Adidas, FIFA Mobile, and Jacquard logos all appear along with a "Play Connected" tagline and March 10th, which is presumably when more details about the new collaboration will be announced.
Jacquard, which is made out of Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) skunkworks group, incorporates touch-sensitive fabric into clothes and... |
| Konami Code creator leaves behind a legacy spanning over three decades Posted: 26 Feb 2020 02:49 PM PST  Image: Konami Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the programmer of the famous Konami Code, died this week at the age of 61. His code, ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B, A, Start, has lived on for over three decades and continues to be a comical Easter egg in many games today. Hashimoto's former employer, Konami, released a statement today confirming his death and sending condolences to Hashimoto's family: "We are saddened to hear about the passing of Kazuhisa Hashimoto," Konami said, calling him a "deeply talented producer."

| Microsoft says Windows and Surface businesses will miss expectations due to coronavirus Posted: 26 Feb 2020 02:41 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft said late on Wednesday that it would miss the third quarter guidance it set out earlier this year for its personal computing segment, which includes money it makes from licensing Windows and selling Surface devices. The culprit, as is the case with many other tech companies, is supply chain slowdowns due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The company said it does not expect other divisions to be affected. "Although we see strong Windows demand in line with our expectations, the supply chain is returning to normal operations at a slower pace than anticipated at the time of our Q2 earnings call," Microsoft said in a press release. The company did not give a specific revenue range for the segment; instead, it said it... |
| False copyright claims took down debate commentary channels on Twitch Posted: 26 Feb 2020 01:49 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge On February 25th, CBS News hosted the last Democratic presidential debate ahead of the vastly important Super Tuesday primaries. The debate was officially licensed to broadcast on Twitter and CBS News' website, but there was an even broader reach of live commentary channels as Twitch streamers reacted to the arguments in real time. But if you were tuned in to one of those channels, you may have gotten an unpleasant surprise halfway through the broadcast. As the debates progressed, popular channels like Chapo Trap House and Mychal "Trihex" Jefferson were hit with the suspensions after their streams received copyright strikes for hosting their own debate coverage. As far as Twitch was concerned, those live commentary tracks were pirating... |
| Sacramento Kings arena to use liquor-measuring gadget to control how much guests drink Posted: 26 Feb 2020 01:29 PM PST  The NINA attachments on the liquor bottles measure how much alcohol you get. | Image: Sacramento Kings/NINA The Sacramento Kings arena will let guests in its suite and loft areas make their own drinks at the Golden 1 Center using an internet-connected gadget affixed to the top of liquor bottles to monitor how much alcohol is being poured. It sounds like a good idea from the venue's point of view: the NINA bottle-mounted device may reduce staffing costs (sorry, bartenders) and help with liquor ordering and other cost controls. It's not totally clear, however, why guests who pay between $1,000 and $15,000 for premium seating at the arena would want to buy their drinks like they're shoppers in a self-checkout grocery lane. But the Golden 1 Center says the devices will "allow guests to skip the lines and stay safe." Here's how it works: you use a... |
