| The OnePlus 8 series is much cheaper in India than the US Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:39 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge OnePlus announced the 8 and 8 Pro phones early last week, but didn't share pricing information for India, one of its most important markets. Now we have the numbers, and the new phones could be a lot more competitive than you might have thought based on the US prices, which pushed the brand into flagship territory. In a tweet, OnePlus says that the 8 series will begin at Rs. 41,999, or about $550. The base price for the OnePlus 8 is $699 in the US. Per Android Central, however, there's a slight catch to that comparison — the entry-level model in India appears to be exclusive to the market, and has 6GB of RAM compared to 8GB. It'll also only be available on Amazon. Still, the Indian prices are lower throughout the lineup. The 8GB/128GB... |
| Australia will compel Facebook and Google to pay media outlets for news content Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:40 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Treasurer of Australia has ordered that country's competition watchdog to create a code of conduct for Facebook and Google which would force the tech giants to pay Australian media companies for using their content, ABC News (AU) reports. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission was working on developing a voluntary code of conduct, but told the Australian government it was "unlikely" to get a voluntary agreement around the issue of payment for content. The ACCC was working on the code as part of a series of recommendations from its 2019 digital platforms inquiry. The report from that inquiry found — in addition to privacy concerns— that in Australia, Google and Facebook were taking a large share of online advertising... |
| Lime reactivates small fleets of scooters, offers free rides for healthcare, law enforcement workers Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:52 AM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge E-scooter-sharing company Lime is reactivating small fleets of scooters in about a dozen cities and will offer free 30-minute rides for health care workers and law enforcement officers, the company announced. Its Lime Aid initiative is meant to address essential workers' need for transportation while social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. "Micromobility plays a critical role in moving people seamlessly through cities, and as an individual form of transportation, scooters can help fill an integral transportation gap at this important time," the company said in a statement. It will partner with the cities to determine the best locations for the scooters. Lime says in the release the scooters are meant to be used for essential... |
| Facebook is launching a dedicated gaming app to take on Twitch, YouTube Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:52 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitch and YouTube don't have much competition when it comes to streaming platforms for the gaming community, but Facebook wants to change that with a new dedicated mobile gaming app. Facebook's gaming app will largely curate and focus on the streaming community, although it will also highlight casual games that people might play online already, including Words with Friends, according to the New York Times. The app, which is set to be introduced on April 20th, will also reportedly only be available on Android devices at first. The company has plans to release the app for iOS devices once "Apple approves them." The Verge has reached out to Facebook for additional information. With Facebook Gaming's continued growth, and the current... |
| Amazon will keep fulfillment centers in France closed through April 22nd Posted: 19 Apr 2020 09:04 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon will extend the closures of its fulfillment centers in France until at least April 22nd, Reuters reports. The e-commerce company closed six of the centers in France April 15th, after a French court ruled Amazon could be fined €1 million per item if it ships anything not directly related to medical supplies, hygiene products, and food items. Amazon said the definition of what goods it could ship was not clear and rather than risk being fined, opted to temporarily close the fulfillment centers. Workers' representatives in France took Amazon to court for what they viewed as insufficient protections from the coronavirus. As of April 19th, France has more than 19,000 deaths from COVID-19. Amazon is now waiting for its appeal to be... |
