| Amazon will help Seattle residents receive at-home COVID-19 testing Posted: 23 Mar 2020 04:32 PM PDT  Photo by Karen Ducey/Getty Images Amazon will assist its hometown city of Seattle with at-home COVID-19 testing, according to a report from CNBC on Monday. The test kits are provided by the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN), a research effort based on the prior Seattle Flu Study initiative that is now dedicated to better understanding the spread of the novel coronavirus. It has funding from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates' private Gates Ventures investment arm and receives technical assistance from his philanthropic group, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The effort mirrors one in the San Francisco Bay Area funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's philanthropic and medical research groups. Both represent some of the most significant corporate... |
| Verizon gives all mobile customers 15GB of extra data during coronavirus pandemic Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:37 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Verizon has announced that it is automatically adding 15GB of high-speed data to wireless plans in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, the company announced it will waive overage charges and late fees for those affected by the crisis, waive internet and voice service for those on its discount Lifeline plan, and reiterated its previous pledge of free international calling for consumer wireless and home voice customers to CDC level 3 countries, among other efforts. "We understand the hardships that many of our customers are facing, and we're doing our part to ensure they have broadband internet connectivity during this unprecedented time," said Verizon Consumer Group CEO Ronan Dunne. "With so many Americans working and... |
| I wanna dance with somebody (on Instagram) Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:30 PM PDT  Ryan Heffington Kristin Childers went to a dance party on Saturday in her pajamas. The clothes didn't matter, because she never left her living room. The party took place entirely on Instagram. A few minutes before, she'd been sitting on her couch reading the news, feeling like she was about to cry. Then she got a notification on her phone: Ryan Heffington, the two-time Grammy nominated choreographer behind Sia's "Chandelier" music video, was streaming a dance class on Instagram Live. "The numbness I was feeling just went away," she says. "I was like, 'I'm just gonna do it.'" As Childers danced, she saw comments and hearts pop up on the live stream. Almost 2,700 people were dancing virtually alongside her. "I was like, 'Wow people are really... |
| Microsoft discloses new Windows vulnerability that’s being actively exploited Posted: 23 Mar 2020 02:59 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft disclosed a new remote code execution vulnerability today that can be found in all supported versions of Windows and is currently being exploited in "limited targeted attacks" (via TechCrunch). If a hacker successfully pulled off an attack, they could theoretically remotely run code or malware on the victim's device. The flaw involves the Adobe Type Manager Library, which helps Windows render fonts. "There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as convincing a user to open a specially crafted document or viewing it in the Windows Preview pane," according to Microsoft. The vulnerability has a severity level of "critical," which is the company's highest rating. |
| Apple may include improved image stabilization on one of the next iPhones Posted: 23 Mar 2020 02:24 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge One of the next iPhone models could introduce sensor-shift image stabilization, potentially bringing image stabilization to the ultrawide camera, according to a new research note from tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that was seen by MacRumors. Per Kuo's note, the image stabilization tech could come to a new 6.7-inch iPhone. The technology moves the image sensor around inside the camera to offset hand shake. Currently, image stabilization is only available on the wide and telephoto lenses. For those cameras, Apple uses optical image stabilization, which uses lens movement (rather than sensor movement) to offset shake. It's unclear if all three cameras will switch to sensor-shift stabilization or if some will continue to use optical image... |
| Apple is expanding the App Store to 20 new countries later this year Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:37 PM PDT  Apple is expanding the App Store to 20 new countries this year, the company announced on its developer portal, marking the latest expansion of Apple's app marketplace around the globe. For now, there's no word on when support will be available for the new regions. However, Apple has asked developers to log into their accounts on its developer website and accept the updated license agreements in order to make their apps accessible when the time comes. Apple's announcement urges developers to update their information by April 10th, meaning that the rollout could start then. Currently, Apple offers the App Store in 155 countries or regions around the world. The list of new countries that will have access to the... |
| New study aims to use health data from a smart ring to identify coronavirus symptoms Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:36 PM PDT  Image: Oura A new study will evaluate a smart ring that takes people's temperatures in an attempt to identify people who have the new coronavirus early, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. More than 2,000 emergency medical workers at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center and the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital will wear Oura Rings for the study. The rings will be given to emergency medical workers who come into contact with patients who may have COVID-19. Workers who qualify for the study will be asked to wear an Oura Ring for three months, complete daily surveys to report if they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, and share health data collected by the Oura Ring app with Oura, according to UCSF. Oura Rings,... |
| HP is teasing a new VR headset in partnership with Valve and Microsoft Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:17 PM PDT  HP HP is teasing a followup to its Reverb virtual reality headset made in collaboration with Microsoft and Valve. The announcement coincides with Valve's release of Half-Life: Alyx, the year's most anticipated VR game. There's little detail, but HP's website calls its new headset "a more immersive, comfortable, and compatible experience" than the Reverb, and an email from the company calls it a "no-compromise VR headset." The $599 Reverb was part of Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality lineup, known for its high-resolution screen. HP's reference to a "new standard in VR" suggests it's not competing with the cheapest VR devices, like the $399 Oculus Rift S. But it might not cost as much as Valve's $999 Index, either. There's no release date,... |
| Coronavirus is changing my relationship with the internet, and I bet it’s changing yours, too Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:04 PM PDT  It's the second week of our collective, voluntary quarantine and everything is online now. The spread of coronavirus has upended the rest of society in drastic ways: many high school and college classes are entirely virtual, for example. Prisoners across the country are being released early, and in New York, where I live, mortgage payments are being paused (though there's not yet widespread rent relief) and evictions have been suspended. On a personal level, I've found the changes to my own life to be no less dramatic — I don't leave the house anymore, not really, and because of that I spend a lot more time online. Most every other white collar worker I know is in the middle of their own internet realignment; their jobs, which... |
| Newly approved novel coronavirus test gives results in 45 minutes Posted: 23 Mar 2020 12:54 PM PDT  Photo by Zhang Yazi/China News Service via Getty Images The Food and Drug Administration approved the first rapid test for the novel coronavirus over the weekend. The test, made by the biotechnology company Cepheid, returns results in around 45 minutes and does not need to be processed in a lab. But the test should primarily be used in emergency rooms and hospitals, not in doctors' offices, David Persing, chief medical officer of Cepheid, told Stat News. In a hospital, it could help streamline care for sick people — knowing someone has or does not have COVID-19 quickly will let doctors decide how much protective equipment is needed to treat them, for example. "This is not a test for the worried well," Persing said. Machines that run the new Cepheid tests are already in some health care... |
