The new iPad Pro's LIDAR scanner can turn a living room into an augmented reality version of Hot Lava, a video game based on the childhood pastime where you jump on furniture to avoid imaginary lava on the floor. The announcement was included as part of today's iPad Pro announcement.

Hot Lava is available on Steam, but its mobile version is currently an Apple Arcade exclusive. According to Apple, "The LiDAR Scanner on the new iPad Pro will enable Hot Lava's new AR mode, available later this year."

The game is a clever way to show off the capabilities of the LIDAR scanner. A player scans a living room with an iPad, and the app generates hot lava on the floor and platforms for the game's character to jump on in AR. Here's a GIF of the app...

Friends reunion special at HBO Max reportedly delayed

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 04:20 PM PDT

Friends

HBO Max's heavily anticipated Friends reunion special will be delayed as production across Hollywood shuts down amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to The Hollywood Reporter. There is no estimated release date at this time, but a company spokesperson told AdWeek that "at this point, we anticipate launching HBO Max with the Friends Reunion Special." It's seemingly all dependent on how long studios continue to delay productions.

The special, which would reunite original cast members Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courtney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), David Schwimmer (Ross), Matthew Perry (Chandler), and Matt LeBlanc (Joey), was a launch title for WarnerMedia's new streaming service, HBO Max. The cast is set to "earn more than...

On Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission temporarily waived rules in a move to foster internet access for hospitals and schools stuck in the broadband gap as the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt everyday life.

In its announcement, the FCC said that it would waive the "gift rules" included in its Rural Health Care and E-Rate education programs that forbid participating hospitals and schools from accepting or requesting additional hardware and services from internet service providers. These rules will be null until September 20th, 2020 and could allow providers to upgrade these institutions' network capacity and loan out Wi-Fi hotspots to schools and libraries to administer to students who don't have access to the...

Apple’s new iPad Pro gets Wi-Fi 6 before the MacBook line

Apple announced a new iPad Pro today, introducing a slew of much-needed features to the tablet, including support for the next generation of Wi-Fi, a feature that has not previously been available on either iPads or MacBooks.

Wi-Fi 6 arrived a little over a year ago, and routers supporting the new generation of Wi-Fi are starting to become more common. Wi-Fi 6 chips are still being integrated into laptops and smartphones, though — not even the 16-inch MacBook Pro from late last year or the new MacBook Air announced this morning include Wi-Fi 6 chips. The only previous Apple products to offer Wi-Fi 6 are the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro.

Wi-Fi 6 is more than just a simple speed boost. It's meant to...

Tesla will reduce its workforce at its Fremont, California, car factory after the local Sheriff's Office said the company was not complying with a three-week shelter-in-place order meant to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, BuzzFeed News is reporting. The Silicon Valley automaker will drop from around 10,000 employees to 2,500, though it's unclear when the scaleback will take place, or what the company is doing to prevent those workers from being infected with or spreading the virus.

The shelter-in-place order was announced on Monday in six counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it went into effect early Tuesday morning. All nonessential businesses were told to close down, and millions of residents were told to only leave...

Nextdoor, the social networking app designed around local communities, is launching a new interactive map to let neighbors offer help to one another during the novel coronavirus outbreak. Called Help Map, the tool lets you mark yourself as available to help with anything from grocery shopping to child care. It will be available in the US starting today and will come to international markets later this week. The company also says it's bringing its Groups feature out of beta globally to let neighbors organize during the crisis.

Once you add yourself to the Help Map, your name, home location, and profile picture will be displayed to your local community, and you can list the ways in which you're able to assist your neighbors. Members will...

How the new iPad Pro compares to the new MacBook Air

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 12:34 PM PDT

Apple just announced a new iPad Pro and a new MacBook Air, but the iPad Pro's optional new keyboard case with a trackpad makes picking between the two a lot harder. If you get the iPad Pro with the new case, called the Magic Keyboard, you're choosing between two similarly sized portable computing devices with a keyboard and trackpad. (Though Apple insists the new iPad Pro is not a computer.)

The main thing to keep in mind is that one of those computing devices is still a tablet and one is still a laptop, and each is (right now) better-suited for some tasks than others. iPadOS, which came out last year, did bring a lot more computer-y features to Apple's tablets, like a more powerful Files app, letting a single app have multiple windows,...

The creators of Animal Crossing hope New Horizons can be ‘an escape’ in difficult times

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 12:20 PM PDT

Video games have become a powerful coping tool as the novel coronavirus pandemic continues to spread. Developers are making their games free or cheap, Pokémon Go was made easier to play indoors, and Twitch is skyrocketing in popularity. Animal Crossing: New Horizons seems almost ideally suited for this scenario.

It's a game where players can live a relaxed life in the outdoors, and safely meet up with friends online. It's cute and charming, and the desperate circumstances have made the anticipation around an already popular game even greater. A cursory glance at Twitter reveals fans begging Nintendo to release New Horizons early or counting down the days until it comes out. It's not a situation Nintendo could've planned for, but the...

Here’s how the iPad’s new trackpad actually works

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 12:10 PM PDT

Apple made it official: trackpad and mouse support is coming to the iPad. You can get it on an iPad Pro by spending $299 or $349 on Apple's new Magic Keyboard, get it on a regular iPad with Logitech's $150 keyboard case, use your existing Bluetooth mouse or trackpad, or presumably use any number of forthcoming accessories.

So the mouse support is there, but how will it work? The iPad and iPadOS are touch-based operating systems meant to be used with your big fat fingers, not tiny little pointers. Even when the Apple Pencil was introduced, they have stayed that way. Plus, more recently, iPadOS has increased the level of complexity for multitasking to 11 with support for multiple windows, split screens, slide-over windows, custom gestures...

Facebook will put vetted coronavirus information at the top of the News Feed

Facebook will put a coronavirus information center at the top of the News Feed in the United States and other countries around the world, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said today. In a call with reporters, Zuckerberg said that a collection of information from the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control would begin appearing on top of the feed over the next day.

The introduction of the information center comes after Facebook had been promoting links to the WHO and CDC inside the News Feed itself, as well as on Instagram. Facebook has also linked to the organizations in search results when people run queries on "coronavirus" or "COVID-19."

The goal of the center is to direct Facebook's large user base to vetted information and to...
