| Sony delays almost its entire movie lineup into next year Posted: 30 Mar 2020 07:23 PM PDT  Sony is the latest movie studio to announce major changes to its release slate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as reported by Variety. Tentpole movies like Uncharted, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Peter Rabbit 2 are all seeing big delays, leaving Kevin Hart's Fatherhood as the only major title on Sony's 2020 schedule — and that was itself brought forward to October from January. The upcoming third Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movie appears to be unaffected; the Far from Home sequel's release date was already set as July 16, 2021. Sony's planned July 2020 movies, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Jared Leto's Morbius, have both been moved into next March.

| Airbnb further extends refund window to May 31st and sets aside $250 million for hosts Posted: 30 Mar 2020 03:59 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Airbnb has further extended its full cancellation policy due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and has set aside $250 million to help pay hosts for missed or canceled bookings, according to a letter sent to Airbnb hosts on Monday, which the company shared with The Verge. CNBC was first to report the news earlier today. Now, guests who had previously booked stays on the platform with a check-in between March 14th and May 31st are now eligible for full refunds under the company's "extenuating circumstances" policy, regardless of the host's cancellation preference so long as the booking was made before March 14th. And Airbnb will now use the funds it set aside to ensure hosts can recoup some of the lost money. |
| Instacart claims ‘absolutely no impact’ from planned workers’ strike Posted: 30 Mar 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Photo by David L. Ryan/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Grocery delivery company Instacart said today that a planned work stoppage by its shoppers had "absolutely no impact on Instacart's operations" and claims it sold more groceries over the past 72 hours "than ever before." "Today, we saw 40 percent more shoppers on the platform compared to the same day and time last week," the company said in a statement emailed to The Verge. "In the last week alone, 250,000 new people signed up to become Instacart full-service shoppers and 50,000 of them have already started shopping on the platform." Last week, Instacart shoppers, who are largely contract gig workers not eligible for benefits, said they would refuse new... |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:58 PM PDT  Now that we're spending more time indoors, we're finding new platforms — and new ways to use old platforms — to stay in touch, whether it's for work or with friends. This is the case with Slack, an instant-messaging platform which functions somewhere in the space between email and text messages. Designed for quick communication, Slack became an important tool for a lot of workplaces well before everyone started working from home. But you can use it for pretty much anything: friends, group activities, clubs, or online communities. Slack has a free version and offers several paid plans. You start by setting up a workspace (which is your main area of operations, and contains your network of contacts) on Slack. In your workspace, you create... |
| The Office’s John Krasinski launched a YouTube channel dedicated to good news Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:54 PM PDT  John Krasinski, best known for playing Jim Halpert on NBC's The Office, is back behind a desk and talking into a camera — this time, in a video on his new YouTube channel dedicated to sharing good news. The show is exactly what it sounds like: Krasinski will talk about a few heartwarming, good stories that people might be looking for right now while stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are stories about the support cities around the world have shown health care workers from their own apartments, clapping and cheering out their windows. There are stories about a homeowner making a delivery driver's day by leaving gifts on the porch. There are even stories about a man who purchased 100 lobsters in Maine to help a local... |
| The MLB will stream classic games online for fans waiting out the delayed regular season Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:07 PM PDT  Baseball season might be indefinitely delayed, but the MLB is doing its best to fill the baseball-shaped hole in fans' hearts with a new "MLB At Home" initiative that will see classic games and events, like the Home Run Derby, streamed nightly on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. The MLB already started streaming games last week for its "Opening Day At Home," where it broadcast 30 games (featuring a momentous victory for each of the 30 MLB teams) to mark the missed start of the 2020 season. The new effort is effectively a continuation of that, as well as an effort to try to bring back some semblance of normal scheduling and give fans a regularly scheduled game to look forward to. The MLB At Home streams begin tonight, March 30th, at 7PM... |
| Valve will delay some Steam auto-updates to preserve bandwidth Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:02 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Valve announced today that it won't automatically update games in customers' libraries as regularly as before to help preserve bandwidth during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Starting this week, Valve says Steam will only immediately auto-update games you've played in the last three days. Otherwise, Valve says Steam will be spreading out updates over several days. Steam had already been scheduling game updates for "the next off-peak local time period," according to Valve, though if you want to update a game manually, you can still initiate that yourself. Valve already lets you schedule auto-update windows and even self-throttle your connection to Steam if you want to additionally optimize how much of your bandwidth Steam uses at any... |
| Twitter removes tweets by Brazil, Venezuela presidents for violating COVID-19 content rules Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter has made good — so far — on its pledge to crack down on tweets that contain false or misleading information about COVID-19 cures. The platform has deleted tweets by the presidents of Brazil and Venezuela and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for violating its ban on novel coronavirus-related content that "goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information." "We're focused on protecting the public conversation and helping people find authoritative sources of information on Twitter. There have been a number of measures we've taken in regard to COVID-19," a Twitter spokesperson said in an email to The Verge. "We'll continue to review and require the removal of Tweets that... |
| Apple reportedly letting select employees work on early-stage products at home Posted: 30 Mar 2020 01:53 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge With all the uncertainty over when "shelter in place" orders will be lifted, Apple has recently been more willing to let early-stage products leave its campus for further development at the homes of its employees. This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who today reported about how Apple has been adapting to the work-from-home culture that's now the norm across Big Tech and countless other companies around the world. Apple is known for maintaining tight secrecy around unreleased hardware and software, and Bloomberg makes clear that employees must go high up the executive ladder for permission to take an in-the-works device home. A vice president must sign off, and the list of employees in possession of future products is regularly... |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2020 01:50 PM PDT  Photo: Seamus Blackley / Twitter As more people are faced with endless hours at home due to self-quarantine and social distancing, there's been a surge in home bread baking show-and-tell on the internet over the past few days. But it's safe to say that no one has been baking bread quite like Seamus Blackley, who finally has achieved his goal to re-create ancient Egyptian bread using yeast cultivated from samples that were over 4,000 years old and traditional tools and techniques dating back to that time period.
