| Yelp to stop auto-creating fundraisers after outrage from business owners Posted: 26 Mar 2020 06:00 PM PDT  Image: Yelp Yelp has paused an effort in partnership with GoFundMe that automatically opted tens of thousands of small businesses into fundraisers after complaints from restaurant and bar owners, the company tells The Verge. Yelp launched the initiative earlier this week in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but it did so without informing any of participants. Some business owners said the process for opting out — in the event they were hosting their own fundraisers or simply did not want one automatically set up by Yelp — was unnecessarily cumbersome. "On Tuesday, Yelp announced a partnership with GoFundMe to provide a fast and easy way for people to support their favorite local businesses by donating to a GoFundMe fundraiser directly... |
| Apple’s Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro X are getting 90-day free trials Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:30 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple's creative professional apps — video editing software Final Cut Pro X and music production suite Logic Pro X — are both getting free 90-day trials for a limited time. The 90-day trial is available now for Final Cut Pro X and will arrive "in the coming days" for Logic Pro X. The coronavirus pandemic has left many homebound and unable to attend school or work, so having access to professional tools that cost hundreds of dollars during this time is a big deal. "We hope customers who are home and looking for something new to master will try out these free trials," reads Apple's announcement. Final Cut Pro X already had a 30-day free trial, but a free trial of any kind is entirely new for Logic Pro X. Apple doesn't mention when the... |
| Google says disabling an online business website due to coronavirus should be a last resort Posted: 26 Mar 2020 03:20 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google has issued a set of guidelines and a helpful FAQ to website owners to try and minimize the damage being done by worldwide shutdowns, both online and off, over the coronavirus pandemic. The company says the most important advice it can give is to avoid disabling a website altogether, so long as it's feasible to continue paying the hosting fees. Some domain registrars, like GoDaddy and Namecheap, are offering support to customers concerned they won't be able to maintain websites adversely affected by the shutdowns. But Google says disabling a site may harm its search rankings when it is brought back online.

| The coronavirus is now the American virus Posted: 26 Mar 2020 03:07 PM PDT  Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images The United States now has the highest number of coronavirus infections of any nation on the planet, The New York Times reports. Johns Hopkins' tracker agrees. We now know for sure that our country's response to the pandemic is a spectacular failure that has been exacerbated by an incompetent president who spent years sabotaging the government's ability to respond to the current crisis. The World Health Organization may soon declare that the US is the new epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. This outcome was never predetermined; even a Texas-based grocery chain outsmarted the US government with its own preparations for the disaster by following the obvious warning signs. As of March 26th, more than 1,000 people have died in the US, and... |
| Some Tesla factory employees still had to work after the production shutdown Posted: 26 Mar 2020 02:03 PM PDT  Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Verge Local officials have confirmed that Tesla stopped making electric cars in California on Monday, March 23rd, in compliance with a shelter-in-place order brought on by the novel coronavirus pandemic. But dozens of workers had to report to the company's automotive factory to finish processing the final batches of cars this week, according to an email to some of those workers obtained by The Verge and the account of one of the factory's employees. This comes as Tesla confirmed the first two cases of COVID-19 among its office workforce on Thursday, according to another email that was viewed by The Verge after it was first reported by Business Insider and Electrek. Tesla is also making its first workforce cuts during the pandemic, temporarily... |
| Airbnb asks its hosts to provide 100,000 free rentals to first responders Posted: 26 Mar 2020 01:37 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Airbnb introduced a new program Thursday that its CEO called "free" housing for first responders dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. The program asks hosts — the people who actually own the properties that are booked via Airbnb's platform — to donate the rental without reimbursement from the company, and apparently, to bear the cost of following CDC-recommended cleaning protocols. The goal is to offer lodging to 100,000 first responders, the company says. As of 3:30PM ET, CEO Brian Chesky tweeted, 12,000 hosts had "opened up their homes" under the program.
First responders looking for a place to... |
| Verily details drive-through COVID-19 testing in new video Posted: 26 Mar 2020 01:23 PM PDT  Nearly a week and a half after Google's sister company Verily launched its COVID-19 screening and testing website, the company has published a video of its in-person drive-through testing process. As the video explains, anyone looking to be tested first has to take an online screening questionnaire, the details of which were revealed last week when the website launched. The screener is designed to help prioritize testing. The criteria include exposure to existing cases of the virus, current symptoms, age, previous health conditions, and at-risk locations or occupations. Those criteria determine whether you qualify. If you qualify for testing, you'll get a reference ID number and appointment details, including the time and location.... |
| Google’s new Pixel Buds could hit spring release date, as they may have just hit the FCC Posted: 26 Mar 2020 01:01 PM PDT  Google's second-generation Pixel Buds may have just appeared in Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings, indicating that the company's new true wireless earbuds could hit their spring release window (via 9to5Google). Two new FCC filings from Google for wireless earphones appeared yesterday. The filings have two different model numbers, G1007 and G1008, possibly correlating to one filing for each earbud. The filings don't specifically state that these are the new Pixel Buds, and a product appearing on the FCC isn't always a confirmation that it will launch imminently. But given that Google has said the new Pixel Buds will come out sometime in spring, it seems likely that yesterday's filings are indeed for the new earbuds. |
| Here are a bunch of free music apps and sample packs while we’re all stuck inside Posted: 26 Mar 2020 12:59 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Life looks very different right now as the novel coronavirus has millions around the world stuck indoors. Festivals, clubs, and even house parties are banned in many cities, leaving musicians (and music lovers) housebound and searching for creative outlets. Over the past few weeks, several music companies have responded by offering freebies in order to, as Korg said, provide "a musical way to occupy your mind." Below, we've rounded up an array of apps, plug-ins, sounds, lessons, and even digital audio workstations (DAWs) that are currently free to give tools to musicians and those looking to learn musical skills during the pandemic. A few were already free, but the majority are only free for a limited time. There are tons of deals... |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2020 12:33 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitch plans to put its community's charity muscles to good use on Saturday, by hosting a benefit called Stream Aid 2020 that will feature a host of celebrity guests, a lot of music, and a little bit of gaming. (Think UNO and Fortnite.) The event will go live on Twitch's channel at 12PM ET and stay up for 12 full hours, and the goal is to raise as much money as possible for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. Everyone from Diplo to Charlie Puth to Die Antwoord will be there. On the gaming side of things, streamer Nick "Nick Eh 30" Amyoony will be headlining the Fortnite tournament with his duos partner Joe Jonas. (He's a fan.) Amyoony is a Twitch darling — follower count: 869.5k at present — and a... |
