| Apple says customers must wait to pick up repairs locked inside its retail stores Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:36 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple customers who didn't pick up devices dropped off for repairs within two days of the company closing all of its retail stores will have to wait to pick them up until the stores reopen, an Apple spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider. When Apple announced on March 14th that it would be closing all retail stores outside China due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company said customers had a two-day window to retrieve any repairs. Apple tried to contact customers via phone and email to tell them they needed to pick up their devices, but any products that didn't get retrieved in that window can't be picked up until the stores reopen, the spokesperson told Business Insider. Apple originally said it would reopen its stores on March... |
| Twitter locks account encouraging coronavirus ‘chickenpox parties’ Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:28 PM PDT  Photo by J. Conrad Williams, Jr./Newsday RM via Getty Images On Wednesday, Twitter briefly locked conservative site The Federalist's account for suggesting people deliberately expose themselves to the novel coronavirus. The Federalist promoted the medically unsound idea of "medical 'chickenpox parties'" to infect young, healthy people with the virus under controlled quarantine. The tweet was removed for violating the social media platform's policies, and a Twitter spokesperson tells The Verge that "the account was temporarily locked for violating the Twitter Rules regarding COVID-19." Twitter bans coronavirus-related content that "goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information." That includes tweets promoting ineffective or... |
| Qualcomm’s latest chips could make noise cancellation standard on new wireless earbuds Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:56 PM PDT  Qualcomm is announcing a pair of new Bluetooth chips designed for wireless earbuds, the Qualcomm QCC514x and QCC304x SoCs. Both chipsets will support Qualcomm's TrueWireless Mirroring technology for more reliable connections, along with integrated, dedicated hardware for Qualcomm's hybrid active noise cancellation and onboard support for digital assistants. Qualcomm's TrueWireless Mirroring handles connections to a phone through a single earbud, which is then mirrored (hence the name) to the other earbud, which cuts down on the amount of synchronization needed (in theory) for a more reliable connection. If you take out the primary earbud, the system is designed to transition the connection seamlessly over to the mirrored earbud, too.... |
| COVID-19 anxiety taking a toll? There’s a subreddit for that Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:41 PM PDT  COVID-19 is all anyone can talk about in real life, which means it's all anyone can talk about on the internet, which means it's all anyone is discussing on Reddit. There's r/Coronavirus (1.4 million members), r/Covid19 (101,000 members), and the racist-ly named r/China_flu (101,000 members, disappointingly). These subreddits have quickly been overflowed with people seeking news about how the pandemic has thrown world economies and health care systems into collapse. They exist to disseminate information — and of course, are victim to misinformation. But there's one much smaller, more intimate COVID-19 subreddit — Covid19_support, which boasts only 11,900 members — that is doing something different. The service it provides Reddit users is... |
| How to find keyboard shortcuts for Zoom Posted: 25 Mar 2020 01:55 PM PDT  Photo by Felix Zahn / Photothek via Getty Images When you're in the middle of a Zoom video meeting at home and your cat suddenly decides to start bawling for its dinner, you'll want to mute your audio in a hurry. In that case, you have a choice: you can either reach for your mouse or touchpad and start searching for the "Mute" button or you can use a quick keyboard shortcut to cut off that noise immediately. Zoom has a long list of keyboard shortcuts that you can use before or during a videoconference. By using these shortcuts, you can quickly join a meeting; mute and unmute the audio; start, pause, and stop recording; switch views from Speaker (a large image of the person speaking) to Gallery (several equally sized images, no matter who is speaking); and perform a variety of other... |
| SpaceX is making its own hand sanitizer and building face shields to donate to fight coronavirus Posted: 25 Mar 2020 01:36 PM PDT  SpaceX is manufacturing its own hand sanitizer and face shields with plans to donate the materials to hospitals and places in need to help fight the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to an internal memo first reported by CNBC and seen by The Verge. The company also plans to host a voluntary blood drive at its headquarters in Hawthorne, California, and is looking into setting up drives at other SpaceX locations. The email, sent to SpaceX employees, claims that the home-brewed hand sanitizer made by the facilities, materials engineering, and health and safety teams "complies with CDC guidelines and is effective at killing COVID-19." The face shields are being manufactured by the same team that builds space suits and crew equipment. So... |
| Namecheap blocks registration of domains with ‘coronavirus’ and ‘vaccine’ in the name Posted: 25 Mar 2020 01:14 PM PDT  Illustrator by Alex Castro / The Verge Domain registrar Namecheap on Wednesday said it would no longer be accepting any new domain applications including the words "coronavirus," "covid," and "vaccine," among other versions of words and phrases alluding to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Los Angeles-based company says the measure is to prevent abuse and fraud from sites trying to hawk fake products and misinformation and otherwise capitalize on the ongoing global health crisis. "There are always those who try to take advantage of crisis situations by carrying out acts of fraud. In response, we are actively working with authorities to both proactively prevent, and take down, any fraudulent or abusive domains or websites related to COVID-19," the company writes in its... |
| Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company is donating 10 million masks to healthcare workers in the US Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:49 PM PDT  Kent Nishimura / Los Angeles Times Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted Saturday that the company was donating "millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe," to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. Cook's tweet appears to confirm a statement earlier in the day by Vice President Mike Pence. "The president and I literally heard directly from Apple that they're donating 2 million industrial masks to this effort around the country and working with our administration to distribute those," Pence said at a White House press briefing. A later briefing from Pence on March 24th would expand that number to 9 million donated masks, which Apple CEO Tim Cook would further clarify in a tweet to "10 million masks for the US and millions more for the hardest hit... |
| Lyft is offering free and discounted bike-share passes for workers fighting the coronavirus Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:37 PM PDT  Photo by Gary Hershorn/Getty Images Lyft is offering free or discounted bike-share trips to workers fighting the coronavirus. The ride-hail company is inviting certain workers in New York City, Boston, and Chicago to sign up for free, one-month memberships or discounted trips. Lyft says it's also stepping up its cleaning procedures to ensure its bikes are appropriately sanitized between trips. Cheaper bike-share could become especially useful as public transportation ridership continues to plummet in most cities and ride-sharing is not seen as a safe alternative. With a growing number of people seeking to avoid mass transit during the pandemic, there has been a surge in cycling in New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Lyft, which is the largest bike-share operator in... |
