| Posted: 03 Apr 2020 06:44 PM PDT  Photo by Scott Heins/Getty Images An employee at Peloton's New York City-based production studio has tested positive for COVID-19, the company said in a Facebook message to members late Friday night. The studio will be temporarily closed for a cleaning, though the message says production will pick back up on Tuesday, April 7th with "a skeleton crew." The employee is now self-isolating. Anyone they may have come in contact with is under quarantine. While many connected fitness companies have halted production of live workout classes after state orders to shut down nonessential businesses, Peloton has continued to broadcast live classes daily — with anywhere from two to five new cycling and running classes a day, despite pleas from many Peloton subscribers for the company... |
| Zoom adds new security and privacy measures to prevent Zoombombing Posted: 03 Apr 2020 05:10 PM PDT  Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images Zoom will soon turn on passwords and waiting rooms by default for all meetings in an effort to help prevent "Zoombombing," or the recent trend of people disrupting Zoom meetings uninvited and sharing shocking or even pornographic content. The new defaults will add real friction to the process of joining a meeting — a process that Zoom had previously made as frictionless as possible to help spur its growth. The changes will take effect starting April 5th. Zoom passwords were already turned on by default for new meetings, instant meetings, and meetings you joined with a meeting ID — what's new starting April 5th is that they'll be turned on for previously scheduled Zoom meetings as well. And once you've joined a meeting, you'll have to... |
| CDC recommends people wear cloth masks to block the spread of COVID-19 Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:48 PM PDT  Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidelines today recommending that people in the US wear homemade face coverings to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. "The CDC is additionally advising simple cloth coverings to help people who may have the virus and do not know it keep from from transmitting to others," said US Surgeon General Jerome Adams in a press conference at the White House today. When cases of COVID-19 were first reported in the US in January, the CDC said that only health care providers and people who are acutely ill should wear face... |
| ESPN will air 12 hours of esports including Rocket League, NBA 2K, and Madden Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:16 PM PDT  ESPN is set to air 12 hours of esports coverage on April 5th, turning to NBA 2K, Madden NFL 20, and Rocket League tournaments to fill the programming void left behind by traditional sports leagues going on hiatus. "ESPN Esports Day" is a marathon of live events and taped esports coverage that aired on ESPN2 over the last year, according to a press release. The marathon will begin with three hours of previous Madden NFL 20 content, including recaps of the Madden Classic, Club Championship, and Challenge tournaments. The Madden block will be followed by the F1 Esports Virtual Grand Prix, a live race featuring F1 drivers behind the virtual wheel. Rocket League will follow with ESPN2 hosting the Season 8 World Championship Grand Finals,... |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2020 01:38 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Seemingly everyone knows about Zoom now: parents, co-workers, friends, grandparents, and neighbors. The videoconferencing software company that went public last year is having a moment during the pandemic. People have flocked to the service to keep up with friends, build digital clubs, and even host weddings. However, in this time of immense growth, researchers and journalists have scrutinized the app and found multiple security and privacy risks. People are realizing the free app might actually come with the cost of giving up their personal data. The app's main selling point, at least to the broader consumer world, is that it offers free, 40-minute conference calls with up to 100 attendees. It's easy to use — people don't need a login... |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2020 01:29 PM PDT  Skype is trying to make it as easy as possible to use its video calling software and remind people that using the app isn't complicated. The company tweeted a reminder today that users can now start a video meeting and invite people to it without using the app or even having an account; the process is done completely on the web. (People can start a call from here.) Skype is likely hoping this feature gives it a leg up on some of its competitors, namely Zoom, which has dominated the video calling conversation ever since the pandemic started. Skype has mostly been left out of most video calling mentions. Zoom requires a meeting host to have an account, as well as the app to start a call, although participants don't need either. Still,... |
| This Yves Behar-designed smart weight trainer is the love child of Mirror and Tonal Posted: 03 Apr 2020 01:08 PM PDT  As more people seek solutions for working out at home during the global measures to self-quarantine and social distance, another connected fitness equipment enters an increasingly crowded category. Forme, a smart mirror with a weight training system built in, combines the look of the reflective Mirror and the pulleys of Tonal, with a few other touches by industrial designer Yves Behar. Similar to the Tonal, the Forme uses a hidden resistance system to simulate weight so you can perform push, pull, and lift exercises from various angles at various weights. (The company did not specify the maximum weight it can support.) According to CNN, Forme will also come with a few other accessories like a heart rate monitor and ankle straps for more... |
| Google is temporarily rolling back Chrome’s SameSite cookie requirements Posted: 03 Apr 2020 12:57 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge With the launch of Chrome 80 in February, Google began gradually rolling out an update that changes how third-party cookies work on websites, called "SameSite." Today, it announced that it is temporarily rolling back this SameSite requirements in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. The SameSite policy was a change in how Chrome treats cookies. Before, Chrome accepted more cookies by default, including from third parties. SameSite flipped that default. At a high level, that essentially means that unless a third-party cookie explicitly was set by a website owner as being okay, Chrome would block it. This move was intended to protect user privacy by limiting which cookies can function in a third-party context, which would supposedly curb... |
| Thousands of Zoom recordings exposed because of the way Zoom names recordings Posted: 03 Apr 2020 12:44 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Thousands of Zoom cloud recordings have been exposed on the web because of the way Zoom names its recordings, according to a report by The Washington Post. The recordings are apparently named in "an identical way" and many have been posted onto unprotected Amazon Web Services (AWS) buckets, making it possible to find them through an online search. One search engine that can look through cloud storage space turned up more than 15,000 Zoom recordings, according to The Washington Post. "Thousands" of clips have apparently also been uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo. The Washington Post said it was able to view recordings of therapy sessions, orientations, business meetings, elementary school classes, and more. |
| ‘Zoombombing’ is a federal offense that could result in imprisonment, prosecutors warn Posted: 03 Apr 2020 12:13 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Federal prosecutors are now warning pranksters and hackers of the potential legal implications of "Zoombombing," wherein someone successfully invades a public or sometimes even private meeting over the videoconferencing platform to broadcast shock videos, pornography, or other disruptive content. The warning was posted as a press released to the Department of Justice's website under the US Attorney's office for the state's Eastern district with support from the state attorney general and the FBI. More and more of the world is increasingly self-quarantining due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and core pillars of society like public education and policy are moving from in-person meetings to remote conference calls on platforms like Zoom. In... |
