| Elon Musk says shelter-in-place orders during COVID-19 are ‘fascist’ Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT  Photo by FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP via Getty Images Elon Musk called the shelter-in-place orders in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the US "fascist" actions that are stripping people of their freedom on a Tesla earnings call on Wednesday. Musk's comments come after a torrent of criticism for remarks he made late Tuesday night on Twitter, in which the billionaire CEO echoed President Trump by writing in all caps, "Free America Now." The rant began after Musk said, "We are a bit worried about not being able to resume production in the Bay Area, and that should be identified as a serious risk." Six Bay Area counties jointly extended the shelter-in-place orders affecting San Francisco, Fremont, and other cities through May 31st, with only some minor relaxing of restrictions. |
| Lime reportedly plans to lay off as many as 100 employees Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Lime is planning to lay off between 80 and 100 of its workers, according to Axios, an indication the company has run into financial troubles during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Lime did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Bloomberg also reported that layoffs at Lime could be on the way, saying the cuts may hit staff in both the US and Europe and could affect as many as 190 workers. However, "our understanding is that the number is significantly lower," Axios reported today. Some employees have already been told they are being let go, Bloomberg said. Bloomberg also reported back in March that Lime was considering laying off between 50 and 70 people. The scooter startup... |
| Qualcomm expects phone shipments to drop by 30 percent next quarter due to COVID-19 Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:47 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Qualcomm expects smartphone shipments to fall 30 percent in the comings months due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company said today, cutting its previous projections for the next quarter. That's in addition to the 21 percent reduction in demand for phones that the company noted in the past quarter, which it reported in an earnings release this afternoon. Qualcomm did still manage to beat its Q2 revenue expectations despite that drop in demand, with Q2 revenue of $5.2 billion (compared to the projected $5.02 billion), but net income was down dramatically, dropping 29 percent year-over-year to $468 million. Qualcomm says there are three coronavirus-related factors that could impact sales in the coming months:

| Amazon says it’s a victim of Trump admin’s ‘personal vendetta’ after landing on counterfeit list Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:38 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is not pleased with the decision from the Trump administration to list a number of its foreign websites as havens for counterfeit products in its annual report on "notorious markets" released Wednesday. The report, which looks into intellectual property protection and hot spots for counterfeiting and piracy, put Amazon's Canada, UK, Germany, France, and India websites on the list as online markets for knockoff goods. It's the first time a US business has been put on the notorious markets list. "The Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy highlights 38 online markets and 34 physical markets that are reported to engage in or facilitate substantial trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy," reads the press... |

| Reddit is launching built-in subreddit chat rooms Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:13 PM PDT  Reddit is introducing a new chat room tool, in a throwback to the old days of the internet when those were a thing. The feature, called "Start Chatting," will randomly sort users of popular subreddits into small, private group chats. Reddit says the feature is rolling out to around 16,000 SFW subreddits this week. To use the feature, you'll want to visit a popular subreddit that has the feature enabled. You'll see a button labeled "Start Chatting" beneath the community's description. Click that, and you'll be randomly matched with a small group of up to seven other users who are also in the subreddit. The group will be entered into a chat room for private discussion and meme-ing. Reddit isn't the only... |
| Microsoft Teams jumps 70 percent to 75 million daily active users Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:02 PM PDT  Microsoft Teams Microsoft said last month that Teams usage had grown to 44 million daily active users during the coronavirus pandemic, and it's now jumped another 70 percent. During an investor call today, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that Teams usage has increased to more than 75 million daily active users. Nadella also provided a new statistic for Teams usage: Microsoft saw 200 million meeting participants in a single day this month. That's a statistic that Zoom has been using to detail its own impressive growth, and Zoom noted 300 million meeting participants earlier this month. Zoom has confused the comparisons, though. Zoom originally stated it had "more than 300 million daily users"... |
| Lenovo’s new ThinkPad keyboard is the best way to get the infamous nub on your desktop Posted: 29 Apr 2020 02:14 PM PDT  The ThinkPad mouse nub — i.e., the TrackPoint — is a controversial piece of technology. People tend to either despise the red dot-shaped substitute for a real mouse, or adore it as the single best mouse solution around. For those in the second camp is Lenovo's new $99 ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II, an updated version of its old wireless keyboard that lets you use that good TrackPoint nub UI with your desktop computer. The TrackPoint II — which was announced at CES, but goes on sale today — is pretty similar to the old ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint model, albeit with a new design that's based on the more modern ThinkPad X1's keyboard design and layout. Unlike the old model, though, the TrackPoint II only offers... |
| Facebook usage is surging, but the company warns it may be temporary Posted: 29 Apr 2020 01:45 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook's business is booming, thanks to worldwide shelter-in-place and quarantine orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic that have everyone using social networks and staring at screens far more than average. The company, which reported first quarter earnings for 2020 on Wednesday, says "a record number of people" are using its services, primarily its Messenger and WhatsApp chat apps as well as Instagram. Last month, as the pandemic intensified, Facebook said it was seeing spikes of more than 50 percent on its messaging products and now logs about 700 million daily calls across Messenger and WhatsApp. But the company knows its popularity is... |
