| This website replicates the sounds of being in the office again Posted: 09 Apr 2020 05:02 PM PDT  Image: imisstheoffice.eu Even though I've worked from home for more than three years, it can still get lonely at times. My apartment is usually very quiet and almost all of my conversations with my colleagues happen silently over Slack, save for the clatter of my mechanical keyboard. I worked in an office for the first part of my career, and at times, I get nostalgic for the white noise of an office — the idle chatter, the whirring of a too-cold air conditioning system, and other people clattering away at their keyboards. If the pandemic has left you surprisingly nostalgic for your office, imisstheoffice.eu, made by Kids Creative Agency, might be the closest thing to actually being back there. When you load up the site, hit the play button in the bottom-left... |
| DoorDash will cut commissions by 50 percent for local restaurants through the end of May Posted: 09 Apr 2020 04:20 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge DoorDash will be reducing commission fees by 50 percent for orders placed on DoorDash and DoorDash-owned Caviar for all of its local restaurant partners, the company announced on Thursday. The commission relief program will begin on Monday, April 13th and run through the end of May. The program will benefit more than 150,000 local restaurants in Australia, Canada, and the US, DoorDash says. DoorDash defines a local restaurant as one with five or fewer locations. DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said this is an "injection of up to $100 million," but it appears the company isn't actually giving anyone money directly, as that dollar amount seemingly represents the accumulated total of reduced... |
| Facebook is adding a Quiet Mode that silences push notifications on mobile Posted: 09 Apr 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook announced an all-new "Quiet Mode" for its main mobile app on Thursday, which will pause "most" push notifications and remind you that it's turned on when you try to open the software on your phone while the mode is still active. It's not clear exactly what notifications will be exempted from the new mode; the company says some, like privacy updates, it is legally required to send out. This new mode is also not to be confused with the existing "mute push notifications" setting that lets you stop only push notifications, but not those within the app, for a designated amount of time. Instead, this new Quiet Mode will be found under Facebook's "Your Time on Facebook" dashboard, which it added back in November 2018, following a... |
| Motorola’s $1,499 flipping Razr now comes in gold Posted: 09 Apr 2020 02:53 PM PDT  Motorola Motorola's foldable Razr phone now comes in a blush gold color variant. The gold version features a black-and-gold color scheme, with the bottom back portion of the product featuring the gold coloring. Much like the original "noir black" model, it is still a Verizon-exclusive phone that will set you back $1,499. Both color variants feature the same specs, including a midrange Snapdragon 710 processor. Although the foldable phone now comes in an additional color option, that doesn't do anything to address the fact that the Razr was met with negative reviews. The phone's camera was criticized for taking poor photos and having a hard time focusing on faces, an issue my colleague Dieter Bohn pointed out in his review. He also said its... |
| Google is rebranding Hangouts Chat as just Google Chat Posted: 09 Apr 2020 02:13 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google has officially removed the Hangouts brand from its enterprise G Suite offering with the rebranding of Hangouts Chat as Google Chat, the company confirmed to The Verge on Thursday. The rebranding follows a similar name change, confirmed yesterday, from the companion videoconferencing app Hangouts Meet to Google Meet. This latest modification was first hinted at by an updated G Suite support document listing the Google Chat name alongside Google Meet. Of course, this version of Chat is not to be confused with the other version of Chat, the name Google inexplicably gave its relatively new RCS-based Android messaging protocol. As for the Hangouts brand, it will continue to live on as the name of the consumer chat app that Google... |
| A spacecraft is about to swing by Earth to get a gravity assist on its way to Mercury Posted: 09 Apr 2020 01:56 PM PDT  An artistic rendering of BepiColombo as it swings by Earth. | Image: ESA / ATG medialab On Friday, an interplanetary spacecraft will slingshot around Earth in the super early morning hours. The spacecraft, a joint European and Japanese creation, will use our planet's gravity to brake its speed and change its course through the Solar System, putting itself on track to reach Mercury in the next five years. The probe whipping by our planet is called BepiColombo, which is actually two spacecraft wrapped into one package. One spacecraft, designed and operated by the European Space Agency, is equipped with 11 instruments to study Mercury from the planet's orbit. The second comes from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and it's designed to study Mercury while spinning in orbit. Once they reach Mercury, the two... |
| Twitch is expanding Watch Parties beta to all partners, then all US creators after Posted: 09 Apr 2020 01:30 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitch announced today that it's bringing its beta version of Watch Parties, which allows streamers to broadcast Prime Video content, to all of its partners — and then all American creators. That means every streamer in the US on Twitch will be able to watch Prime content with their viewers, regardless of whether they're a Twitch Partner. The company plans to bring Watch Parties worldwide eventually, with more news coming in the next few months. While the selection available in Watch Parties is highly curated — you can watch things like Jack Ryan and Star Trek, among many others — the feature is genuinely useful, as it's a solution to the now-global problem of figuring out how to watch something with other people (without running afoul... |
| Google extends free access to advanced teleconferencing features to September 30th Posted: 09 Apr 2020 01:16 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google announced today that it's extending free access to some advanced features in its teleconferencing service Google Meet until September 30th. Google had previously announced on March 3rd that it would offer free access to those features until July 1st. Google is letting all G Suite and G Suite for Education customers host meetings via Meet with up to 250 participants, live-stream to up to 100,000 people within a single domain, and save meeting recordings to Google Drive. These features are typically only available to people on the "enterprise" tier of G Suite, which costs $25 per user per month. "Whether working with consumers or businesses, you shouldn't have to trade reliability, security and privacy for universal access and... |
| How to make group calls on WhatsApp Posted: 09 Apr 2020 12:55 PM PDT  Photo Illustration by Mateusz Slodkowski/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Being able to stay in touch while social distancing is really important, which is why we've come to rely on apps that help you make group calls. WhatsApp, which sends messages over the internet rather than SMS, has become a popular alternative to texting, but it also lets you make calls. On WhatsApp, you can do an audio-only or video group call with up to four people. WhatsApp is a good alternative to Zoom for smaller groups as it uses end-to-end encryption (unlike Zoom). WhatsApp is available for both iOS and Android, so you can easily chat with or call people even if you don't all have the same kind of phone. While you can access WhatsApp from your browser or download the desktop version of the app, you can only make and answer calls... |
| A smart toilet could identify you by your ‘analprint’ and detect diseases Posted: 09 Apr 2020 12:43 PM PDT  Image: James Strommer A prototype smart toilet that can identify you by your "analprint" and monitor your trip to the loo has been created by researchers at Stanford University. It's equipped with cameras and sensors that collect information on your bodily waste, and it uses that data to look for any health issues you might have. The "analprint" is the toilet's primary way of identifying each user. Much to the authors' dismay, it's also the aspect of the toilet that's gotten the most attention since the paper describing the proto-toilet was published in a press release and the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering on Monday. "It's a minor part of our system," Seung-min Park, a senior research scientist at Stanford University and the paper's lead author, told... |
