| Self-driving car engineer Anthony Levandowski pleads guilty to stealing Google trade secrets Posted: 19 Mar 2020 05:26 PM PDT  Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Anthony Levandowski, the self-driving car engineer and former Google executive who joined Uber via an acquisition of his autonomous truck company Otto, has agreed to plead guilty to stealing Google trade secrets, according to Reuters. The decision is just the latest chapter in the multi-year legal saga involving Levandowski's roles in both Google and Uber's fast-growing self-driving car divisions. The lawsuit between Waymo, Alphabet's now-standalone autonomous car unit, and Uber eventually resulted in a settlement between the two companies back in February of 2018. (Uber paid Waymo more than $244 million as a result.) But Levandowski remained on the hook for criminal charges of... |
| Dish is letting the major US carriers borrow spectrum during quarantine data crunch Posted: 19 Mar 2020 04:16 PM PDT  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge If the company makes good on its word (and assuming the T-Mobile and Sprint merger successfully closes), Dish is poised to become a significant player in the US mobile provider market this year. But before any of that happens, Dish is lending a hand to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile by letting them utilize some of its vast spectrum holdings to shore up their 4G LTE networks. With millions of people staying indoors to help slow the novel coronavirus outbreak, you can bet that phone usage — on both the data and voice sides — is skyrocketing. PC Mag has a breakdown of how Dish is distributing its unused spectrum over the next 60 days. Each provider is getting spectrum that can temporarily help bolster its 4G LTE data network and increase... |
| Facebook’s less cluttered desktop redesign is more widely available starting today Posted: 19 Mar 2020 02:59 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook has begun rolling out the overhauled version of its desktop site. Starting today, users have the option to opt in to the new design, which places a heavier emphasis on two of Facebook's most critical features: events and groups. The redesign was previously exclusive to the Facebook mobile app and was first announced at the company's F8 developer conference last year. "Starting today, the majority of people on Facebook will have access to the new desktop design," a Facebook spokesperson tells The Verge. "People can opt-in to try out the new design before it becomes default later this year." So if you don't have access now, it should be showing up shortly. Similar to the mobile app redesign last year, the new desktop layout... |
| YouTube will start displaying trustworthy coronavirus videos on its homepage Posted: 19 Mar 2020 02:22 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube will introduce a new row of verified videos to its homepage for anyone trying to find authoritative news on the ongoing coronavirus story. Pulling from a list of authoritative news outlets and local health authorities that upload to YouTube, the goal is to provide people with a source of information that is more reliable than just general videos on the subject uploaded by random users. Videos are generated algorithmically, according to YouTube, with hundreds of different signals being used to help pick videos. This includes relevancy to coronavirus, how new the videos are, and a viewer's region. YouTube, like... |
| Kickstarter creators can extend live project deadlines by seven days Posted: 19 Mar 2020 02:14 PM PDT  Kickstarter is giving creators extra time to meet their crowdfunding goals. On Thursday, the company said any creator with a campaign live now can request a seven-day extension. To ask for extra time, they just have to email extensions@kickstarter.com from the email address associated with their project along with a link to the campaign. Kickstarter says creators have reached out to say COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has affected existing campaigns on the platform, and they'd like extra time to adjust and possibly reach more people. This is now Kickstarter's official response. (The company has previously offered seven-day extensions for specific circumstances, like for French creators after the Paris attacks.) |
| A shorter Game Developers Conference has been rescheduled for August Posted: 19 Mar 2020 02:10 PM PDT  illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Game Developers Conference, an annual gathering of game creators in San Francisco, has been rescheduled after being delayed earlier this year. The original event, which was slated to take place this week, was postponed at the end of February due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. (Many of the scheduled talks have since been streamed on Twitch.) The new version, dubbed GDC Summer, will be a three-day-long event that kicks off on August 4th, with a show floor that will be open August 5th-6th. It will still be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Here's how the new iteration of the event is being described:

| Tesla to shut down California and New York factories amid coronavirus pandemic Posted: 19 Mar 2020 01:58 PM PDT  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge Tesla will temporarily shut down its car manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, starting at the end of Monday, March 23rd, joining nearly every other major automaker in suspending its US operations due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The announcement comes after days of back-and-forth with the local authorities about whether the company was exempt from a recent shelter-in-place order in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla will also suspend most operations at its solar panel factory in Buffalo, New York. "Despite taking all known health precautions, continued operations in certain locations has caused challenges for our employees, their families and our suppliers," the company wrote in a press release. "As such, we have... |
| Snap rolling out ‘Here For You’ mental health tool early with focus on coronavirus Posted: 19 Mar 2020 01:56 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Snap is rolling out its Here For You search tool a bit earlier than planned to help users who may be feeling anxious or stressed over the coronavirus pandemic, the company says. The Here For You tool was first announced in February, and it's designed to surface "safety resources" from mental health experts when users search for topics like anxiety, depression, suicide, or bullying. The company has now added a coronavirus-specific section to the tool "that will provide Snapchatters from the Ad Council, World Health Organization, the CDC, Crisis Text Line, NHS, and other partners who are creating content on anxiety specifically related to coronavirus," the company says. Originally slated for an April release, Snap expects the search tool... |
| Microsoft teases new Windows 10 UI in video celebrating a billion users Posted: 19 Mar 2020 01:55 PM PDT  Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system passed a billion active users earlier this week, and the company is now marking the occasion with a video that teases new features and UI changes. In an Instagram video from Windows and Devices chief Panos Panay, Microsoft has revealed it's pushing ahead with changes to the Windows 10 Start menu that will see the company deemphasize its Live Tiles. Microsoft is planning to reduce the color of the blocks of the tiled interface on the Start menu to simplify it and make it easier to scan for apps. This is shown in the video alongside what appears to be some spacing changes to how Live Tiles are displayed. |
