| Amazon and Apple are reducing streaming quality to lessen broadband strain in Europe Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:39 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Following in the footsteps of Netflix and YouTube, Amazon has announced that it will also reduce streaming quality in Europe in order to lessen the strain being put on broadband networks. Apple tells The Verge it too is reducing streaming quality in Europe for its TV Plus platform. "We support the need for careful management of telecom services to ensure they can handle the increased internet demand with so many people now at home full-time due to Covid-19," a spokesperson told The Guardian. "Prime Video is working with local authorities and internet service providers where needed to help mitigate any network congestion." Amazon is currently reducing bitrate speeds in... |
| US senators demand Amazon answer questions about warehouse worker safety Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:34 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A group of four US senators, including Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, have sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asking him to respond to questions about how the company is keeping its warehouse workers safe amid the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus. The senators sent the letter two days after the first US-based Amazon warehouse worker tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. The group of senators is led by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and includes Sanders and Sherrod Brown (D-OH). "Any failure of Amazon to keep its workers safe does not just put their employees at risk, it puts the entire country at risk," the group said in the letter. The senators are also asking... |
| Xbox Live is down for the second time this week Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:09 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft's Xbox Live service is down again for the second time this week. Issues first began popping up some time after 7PM ET on Friday, with Down Detector indicating sharp spikes in user-reported connection problems and Microsoft later confirming Twitter that it's "experiencing issues" with matchmaking, Party Chat, and Looking for Groups." On Sunday, Xbox Live experienced a similar outage that lasted more than two hours. That was slightly more serious, with users reporting issues signing into Xbox One devices. This time around, Microsoft's Xbox Live Status page doesn't seem to be indicating any problems yet, although the company is acknowledging that it's working on a fix.

| A first look at Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming service for Windows PCs Posted: 20 Mar 2020 02:13 PM PDT  Microsoft has started testing its Project xCloud game streaming service for Windows 10 PCs this week. The software giant is making the preview version, which lets you stream Xbox games to a PC, available to all Microsoft employees. The Verge has been able to obtain exclusive screenshots of how xCloud will work on PCs. Microsoft has developed an Xbox Game Streaming app for Windows 10 that will be available in the Windows Store. Much like the Android or iOS versions, the app requires a Bluetooth Xbox One controller, a Microsoft account, and a good internet connection. The PC app will also support streaming games from an Xbox One console locally or remotely, instead of using Microsoft's xCloud server blades. There are a variety of games... |
| GameStop to close all California stores indefinitely Posted: 20 Mar 2020 02:12 PM PDT  GameStop is closing its California retail stores until "further notice," according to Kotaku, only a day after the video game retailer instructed all of its US employees to disregard coronavirus-related lockdowns. "We are closing our stores in California," GameStop said in a letter to stores leaked to Kotaku. "The closure will remain in effect until further notice as we obtain more information from the California Governor's Office." Kotaku also notes that GameStop will not pay its employees during the shutdown, though some may be able to use personal time off. Yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order requiring all California residents to "stay... |
| Rosario Dawson is joining The Mandalorian season 2 as a live-action version of Ahsoka Tano Posted: 20 Mar 2020 01:23 PM PDT  Rosario Dawson will be joining season 2 of The Mandalorian for Disney Plus, where she'll reportedly be playing fan-favorite character Ashoka Tano, according to a report from SlashFilm. The move marks the most overt link between Disney's popular animated Star Wars TV shows — which include Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, both of which feature Tano as a character — and its live-action efforts. Tano (voiced by Ashley Eckstein on the animated shows) recently returned to The Clone Wars in the currently airing seventh season of the show, which was resurrected as a Disney Plus exclusive. Tano making the jump from animated to live action would be the biggest shift in the franchise since General Grievous (who debuted in the 2D... |
| Sonic the Hedgehog movie will be released digitally on March 31st Posted: 20 Mar 2020 01:20 PM PDT  Image: Paramount Following in the footsteps of other movie studios, Paramount Pictures has announced that it's speeding up the digital release of Sonic The Hedgehog. The film will be available for purchase on March 31st after a successful theater run that established it as the highest-grossing video game film in US box office history, according to Variety. Some digital movie sellers like Apple have already changed their listings for the Sonic movie to reflect the expedited release. It'll cost the standard $19.99. Other studios have similarly decided to bring new films to TV screens much quicker than they normally would. Movie theaters in the US and other countries are indefinitely closed in an effort to cut down on population density as... |
| Google has completely canceled Google I/O 2020 Posted: 20 Mar 2020 12:58 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google has completely canceled Google I/O 2020, its biggest event of the year, due to the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus. The company announced on March 3rd that it canceled the physical I/O event, but now the whole thing is off. "Out of concern for the health and safety of our developers, employees, and local communities — and in line with recent 'shelter in place' orders by the local Bay Area counties — we sadly will not be holding I/O in any capacity this year," Google said in a statement on the I/O website. "Right now, the most important thing all of us can do is focus our attention on helping people with the new challenges we all face. Please know that we remain committed to finding other ways to share platform updates with... |
| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 12:52 PM PDT  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's philanthropic groups are working to help increase the number of tests for the novel coronavirus in the Bay Area by at least 1,000 tests per day in "the coming days," he said in a Facebook post on Thursday. Zuckerberg's Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) tells The Verge that the goal is to be able to support at least 1,000 tests in less than 30 days. CZI, which Zuckerberg manages with his wife Priscilla Chan, is working with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), which would administer the COVID-19 tests, according to CZI. They're also working with the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, which researches ways to cure and manage diseases. The partnership is possible due to an executive order from California... |
