| Americans still don’t trust self-driving cars Posted: 18 May 2020 09:01 PM PDT  Self-driving cars are having a really rough time gaining our trust. This is not a total shock considering autonomous vehicles remain theoretical and elusive for most people. The limited number of self-driving cars on the road today are mostly test vehicles that aren't available to the riding public. Combine that with Americans' very, shall we say, complicated feelings toward concepts like "freedom" and "control," and you can see where this is going. Digging on technology in the streets, control freaks in the sheets. The latest poll to affirm this deep distrust comes from Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE), a coalition of industry players and nonprofits... |
| Samsung announces 50-megapixel camera sensor with faster autofocus Posted: 18 May 2020 08:11 PM PDT  Samsung has announced a new 50-megapixel camera sensor called the ISOCELL GN1. It's Samsung's first sensor to include both dual-pixel autofocus and Tetracell pixel-binning, which the company says should offer a combination of fast performance and good low-light image quality. The pixel size is 1.2μm, closer to what you'd find on a conventional phone camera sensor than the high-resolution chips that've become increasingly popular over the past year-plus. The obvious competitor is Sony's new IMX689 sensor, featured in phones like the Oppo Find X2 Pro, which has 48 megapixels at 1.22μm. By default, Samsung's sensor will take 12.5-megapixel photos with four pixels binned into one. The addition of dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus is... |
| Asus reveals new Google Meet videoconferencing hardware for offices Posted: 18 May 2020 04:24 PM PDT  Image: Asus Asus has announced new videoconferencing hardware designed to run Google Meet meetings (via 9to5Google). The new gear includes a small computer that runs the calls, an external speaker, and, depending on which configuration you buy, you can also get a camera and a touch screen. The hardware could be useful for conference rooms in offices that rely on Google Meet as their videoconferencing tool of choice (once actually going into the office becomes more common, of course). The computer, which Asus calls the Google Meet Compute System, has an Intel Core i7 processor, a 128GB SSD, and a magnetic chassis so you can attach it to the included stand or more easily mount it out of sight, according to ASUS. It also has a number of ports, which... |

| BBC Together is like Netflix Party but for BBC shows Posted: 18 May 2020 04:01 PM PDT  Image: BBC BBC is launching a new experimental tool, BBC Together, that will let you watch or listen to BBC programming with others over the internet, with everyone seeing the same thing on-screen at the same time. It sounds a lot like Netflix Party but for BBC content. BBC Together works with any audio or video content from BBC iPlayer (which has on-demand video content from the BBC), BBC Sounds (which has on-demand audio content), Bitesize (which has educational content), BBC News, and BBC Sport, according to the BBC. You should be able to try it now on Taster, the BBC's site for its experimental technologies. Once you decide what you want to watch with others with BBC Together, you'll be able to... |
| HTC is making earbuds that look like a black version of Apple’s AirPods Posted: 18 May 2020 03:01 PM PDT  HTC appears to be close to releasing new wireless earbuds called the U Ear, and they look very similar to Apple's AirPods. Photos of the earbuds leaked through regulatory agency filings in the US and Taiwan, which were spotted by Android Police. The U Ear have a very similar design to Apple's AirPods, with glossy plastic, a rounded earbud tip, and a stem that extends down your ear. There seems to be two big differences: the charging pins are located on the front of the earbuds, instead of the end tips, and the earbuds are all black, unlike the AirPods, which only come in white. Though it's always possible HTC could release other color options. HTC's charging case takes inspiration from Apple's earbuds, too. Both look like a compact... |
| Mark Zuckerberg ‘worried’ about China’s influence on internet regulation Posted: 18 May 2020 02:54 PM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Monday he is "worried" that other countries may be trying to imitate China's approach to regulating the internet. "Just to be blunt about it, I think there is a model coming out of countries like China that tend to have very different values than Western countries that are more democratic," Zuckerberg said during an hourlong video conversation Monday with European Union Industry Commissioner Thierry Breton. The Facebook CEO added that it was up to Western democratic countries to have a clear framework for data privacy. "We have a joint responsibility to help develop this," he said. It was the latest instance of Zuckerberg citing the risks of a Chinese model of the internet spreading around the world. He... |
| Donald Trump says he’s taking hydroxychloroquine to protect against COVID-19 Posted: 18 May 2020 02:37 PM PDT  Photo by Tasos Katopodis / Getty Images President Donald Trump said he's taking antimalarial medication hydroxychloroquine and zinc because he believes the drugs could prevent COVID-19. "Here's my evidence. I get a lot of positive calls about it," he said today in a White House roundtable with restaurant executives. Trump said he's been taking the drugs every day for a week and a half and that he has not had any COVID-19 symptoms. People close to the president, including one of Trump's valets and Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary, recently tested positive for the virus. There is still no evidence that taking hydroxychloroquine can prevent someone from contracting... |
| Elon Musk is playing Twitter footsie with the fringe right Posted: 18 May 2020 02:03 PM PDT  Photo by Win McNamee / Getty Images Elon Musk has always had a certain manic energy on Twitter, but in the past week, his output has taken a more troubling turn. Musk's ongoing standoff with Alameda County health officials had inspired him to share a wave of disinformation, something he hasn't backed off from even as much of it has been removed from the platforms themselves. But now, Musk seems to be moving into a more troubling part of the online sphere, and he risks taking a lot of his fans with him.
Last night, Musk tweeted a confusing combination of the rose symbol for the Democratic Socialists of America and the red pill meme, a Matrix reference that has become a touchstone for anti-feminist communities... |
