ViacomCBS wants to compete with itself in the streaming wars

The parent company of the $10-per-month CBS All Access streaming platform is reportedly about to launch... another $10-per-month streaming platform. For some reason, the newly merged ViacomCBS is planning a separate service that will "build on" CBS All Access by adding content from Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central, and streaming service PlutoTV — as well as Showtime for those willing to pay extra, CNBC reports.

The question remains: why launch a new channel when the company has an existing service that's just starting to gain some traction?

The merger that created ViacomCBS was announced in August. Originally, execs suggested they'd bring the new Viacom content to the existing CBS All Access and Showtime...

Tesla remotely disables Autopilot on used Model S after it was sold

Tesla has remotely disabled driver assistance features on a used Model S after it was sold to a customer, Jalopnik reports. The company now claims that the owner of the car, who purchased it from a third-party dealer — a dealer who bought it at an auction held by Tesla itself — "did not pay" for the features and therefore is not eligible to use them.

The features were enabled when the dealer bought the car, and they were advertised as part of the package when the car was sold to its owner. It's a peculiar situation that raises hard questions about the nature of over-the-air software updates as they relate to vehicles.

Cars sold with hardware-based upgrades, such...

Apple’s contract for indie repair shops is so invasive that some refuse to sign it

Last August, Apple announced it would let more indie repair shops buy genuine iPhone parts and tools so they could do common iPhone repairs. It seemed like an exception to Apple's tight restrictions around who it deems worthy of repairing your phone. But it sounds like Apple drew up a contract so draconian that some shops are refusing to sign it, making us wonder whether Apple meant to assist the repair industry at all.

Vice obtained a copy of the contract, and the terms sound extremely invasive. Apple can apparently do unannounced audits and inspections of a repair shop at any time to make sure it isn't using knockoff repair parts, for example. And if Apple finds that a shop used knockoff parts in more than two percent of its...

Boeing's new passenger spacecraft suffered a second major software bug during its debut flight to space in December — one that would have ended in a "catastrophic spacecraft failure" had it not been corrected. Fortunately, Boeing patched the issue before it became a problem, but the issue has safety experts worried about the company's ongoing oversight of its space vehicles.

The spacecraft under close scrutiny is Boeing's new Starliner capsule, a vehicle designed to take crews to and from the International Space Station for NASA. Boeing launched the Starliner on its first test flight on December 20th, without any people on board. The flight was meant demonstrate the vehicle's ability to get to space, dock with the International Space...

Google reportedly testing Play Music’s best feature for YouTube Music

Posted: 06 Feb 2020 02:59 PM PST

In 2018, Google executive T. Jay Fowler confirmed on Twitter that the company planned to migrate Google Play Music subscriber catalogs, playlists, and preferences over to YouTube Music, which at the time it had just re-relaunched as its own paid streaming service with Fowler at the helm. A few months shy of two years later, 9to5Google reports that Google has developed an internal beta version of YouTube Music that may add at least some of this long-awaited functionality.

Specifically, 9to5Google says the new version adds support for user-uploaded music — one of the best features of Google Play Music. It might not sound exciting to everyone, but humor me for a moment. Music streaming services have almost everything you might imagine...

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is refusing to meet with White House adviser Peter Navarro and the trade czar is "fuming," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. It's the latest feud in the never-ending saga of beef between Bezos and Donald Trump, who has leveled ongoing Twitter tirades against Amazon and the Bezos-owned Washington Post since 2016.

According to the Post's report, Navarro approached Bezos at an opulent Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington, DC last month in hopes of securing a meeting with the chief executive to discuss counterfeit products on his platform. The company has long struggled with counterfeit listings, and works with US Customs in taking down the listings when they are identified.

Bezos reportedly responded, saying "'Just...

The FCC’s broadband survey is missing 20 million people, a new study suggests

A new report estimates there are 42.8 million people in the US without broadband access, nearly twice the official estimate reached by the Federal Communication Commission. The report was conducted by BroadbandNow, a company that helps consumers check their area for broadband availability. In its 2019 report, the FCC estimated only 21.3 million Americans lacked broadband access.

BroadbandNow chose nine ISPs — which it does not name in the report— that had "tools [that] allow users to enter an address and receive a response as to whether wired and/or fixed wireless service is available." The ISPs' own tools showed service was not available for some 13 percent of the more than 11,000 addresses BroadbandNow used in its sample.

Google is in the process of rolling out the official build of Chrome 80, its latest version, and while most of the upgrades are behind the scenes, there are a couple of features that can make surfing just a little better, and that can be enabled manually. One of these will let you avoid all those annoying drop-down requests from websites asking you if you want to allow notifications, and the other will make your online travels just a bit faster by eliminating too-large ads.

First, make sure you have version 80 of Chrome.

  • Click the three-dot icon at the top right and select "Help" > "About Google Chrome."
  • If the version of Chrome listed is 79, then hit the button that will manually update. After a minute or two, you should have updated...

The Outer Worlds Switch release delayed due to the coronavirus

Posted: 06 Feb 2020 01:50 PM PST

Video game publisher Private Division is delaying its Nintendo Switch port of Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds due to the coronavirus outbreak. The company announced the news today via Twitter, adding that the virus is "impacting the Virtuos team working on the port," and that they'd like to give them enough time to properly finish development. The physical version will now be released via cartridge, too, following complaints over the boxed Switch product containing only a download code.

The coronavirus continues to have unexpected consequences on the game industry. Earlier today, Nintendo told customers in Japan that production and shipments would be delayed due to supplies produced in China. That includes the highly...

Netflix has finally answered the plea of many, many customers and now offers a way to disable autoplaying videos when you're browsing the home screen. If you're tired of trailers for shows or movies starting to play whenever you briefly pause on a selection, this is the option you've been waiting for.
