| Telecoms are sneaking ‘stay home’ messages onto customers’ smartphones Posted: 24 Mar 2020 05:21 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Some mobile phone operators, including Vodafone and Orange S.A., have started inserting coronavirus-related public health suggestions to stay indoors onto customers' smartphones in recent days, using the small snippet of text that typically accompanies the connection signal symbols in the top left of a phone screen. According to social media consultant Matt Navarra, who began posting and retweeting examples to his Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon, messages are appearing on the phones of customers in Germany, courtesy of UK-based telecom Vodafone.

| YouTube Music can now show lyrics on its iOS and Android apps Posted: 24 Mar 2020 05:13 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube Music users can now read lyrics while listening to a song on the service's iOS and Android apps, the company announced today. To see lyrics, when you've got a song open in the app, just tap the "i" button on the left side of the screen. The lyrics will then show up under the tracking bar for the song. Here's what the lyrics screen looks like for me for Tame Impala's "One More Year" on the YouTube Music iOS app: Apple Music and Spotify can also show lyrics while you're playing a song, and on some songs, those services can advance lyrics forward in real time as the song is playing. Right now, all of YouTube Music's lyrics are static, so you have to scroll down manually if you want to follow along with the track. It... |
| Bandsintown will help musicians get faster access to Twitch monetization Posted: 24 Mar 2020 04:11 PM PDT  Image: Bandsintown Concert notification service Bandsintown has partnered with Twitch to help out artists who are unable to tour because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The partnership lets qualified Bandsintown artists bypass the normal qualifications needed to become a Twitch Affiliate and get fast access to the live streaming platform's monetization tools. Canceled events are a blow to musicians who depend on income from live shows, and many have turned to "quaranstreams" to try and alleviate the financial damage. SoundCloud recently announced a similar initiative with Twitch. Bandsintown artists with 2,000 trackers or more are eligible to apply. You'll then have to create a Twitch channel, link it on your artist profile on the platform, and fill... |
| Facebook says coronavirus is pushing usage through the roof, but its business is hurting Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:32 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook is seeing an extreme spike in usage across the globe due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the company outlined in a blog post on Tuesday. But most usage is concentrated among private messaging and video calling, products the company does not monetize. As a result, the social media giant says it's business is suffering while it struggles to keep its communication tools online and stable. The blog post, penned by analytics chief Alex Schultz and engineering chief Jay Parikh, says total messaging across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp in harder hit areas of the globe, like Italy, has increased by more than 50 percent. Video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp in those same areas has more than doubled, the post says. |
| A Snapchat-owned location app just added a leaderboard comparing who stays home the most Posted: 24 Mar 2020 12:08 PM PDT  Image: Zenly A Snapchat-owned location-sharing app has created a way to gamify social distancing with a leaderboard comparing who among you and your friends spends the most time at home (via TechCrunch). The app, Zenly, typically encourages sharing your location for things like meeting up with friends, but going outside to hang out with people might go against restrictions in place that encourage social distancing and help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. So, in a twist, Zenly can now show how much you and your your friends aren't going outside with its new stay-at-home leaderboard. The leaderboard ranks the five of your friends that are staying home the most — and if you're staying home as much or more than they are, you'll be part of... |
| Apple updates Safari’s anti-tracking tech with full third-party cookie blocking Posted: 24 Mar 2020 12:07 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple on Tuesday released a major update to its Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), the privacy feature that allows the company's web browser to block cookies and prevent advertisers from snooping on your web habits. According to Apple's John Wilander, the WebKit engineer behind the feature, Safari now blocks all third-party cookies. That means that, by default, no advertiser or website is able to follow you around the internet using the commonplace tracking technology. It's a significant milestone for web privacy, and it puts Apple's browser officially two whole years ahead of Chrome, after Google said in January that it would start phasing out third-party cookies but not fully until some time in 2022.

| Quarantine is emotionally challenging, but there are ways officials can make it easier Posted: 24 Mar 2020 11:25 AM PDT  Photo by Lev Radin/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images When China placed a series of cities under lockdown in January to blunt the spread of COVID-19, experts warned that other countries may not be able to implement the same policies. But over the past few weeks, cities, states, and countries around the world have similarly restricted people's movement in order to stop the virus's spread. Some people, who've been exposed to the virus, have to stay away from others for two weeks in a formal quarantine. Other communities are full of people who don't have documented exposure to the virus, but have still been told to stay at home to help slow the pandemic. Previous research shows that those decrees, whether at an individual or community level, can take an emotional toll. None of that... |
| Wonder Woman 1984 delayed by Warner Bros. Posted: 24 Mar 2020 11:23 AM PDT  Wonder Woman 1984 is the latest film to be delayed as movie theaters across the country shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film, which was supposed to open on June 5th, will now open on August 14th. Warner Bros. has also delayed In the Heights, a movie based on Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical, indefinitely. Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film, Tenet, is still on schedule for July 17th at this time. "When we greenlit Wonder Woman 1984, it was with every intention to be viewed on the big screen and are excited to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will be bringing the film to theatres on Aug. 14," Toby Emmerich, Warner Bros. Pictures chairman, said in a statement to Variety. "We hope the world will be in a safer and... |
| Spotify is revoking support for all third-party DJ apps Posted: 24 Mar 2020 10:40 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Spotify will no longer work with third-party DJ apps starting on July 1st, 2020. The news was posted by Algoriddim, the developer behind a popular DJ software for iOS called Djay. A Spotify representative confirmed the news to The Verge. "As of July 1, 2020 Spotify will no longer be playable through 3rd party DJ apps," reads Algoriddim's announcement. "You'll still be able to use Spotify in Djay until the end of June 2020. In the meantime, we've introduced new streaming services that will enable you to continue mixing all of the great music you love, plus give you extended access to new content and features." This is a big loss for Djay, which was the most robust DJ app on the market to have Spotify streaming integration. You can still... |

Ask a friend for help Posted: 24 Mar 2020 10:20 AM PDT  It's impossible to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons wrong, but occasionally, you can miss crucial steps that will open up your island's capabilities.
