| Amazon launches two new Kindle Paperwhite colors Posted: 10 Jun 2020 05:38 PM PDT  Image: Amazon Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite now comes in two new colors, plum and and sage (via The Digital Reader). That means the Paperwhite is now available in four different colors — when Amazon revised the Paperwhite in November 2018, you could only get it in black, and Amazon introduced "twilight blue" last July. If you opt for a non-black Paperwhite, you should know that only the back of the device will be your chosen color. The front bezels will be black no matter which color option you pick. Amazon's 2018 revision to the Paperwhite brought some nice new additions, including waterproofing and support for Audible audiobooks, which had previously been exclusive to the Amazon's top-end Kindle Oasis. But it would have been nice to see Amazon make... |
| Grubhub spurns Uber and will merge with Europe’s Just Eat Takeaway Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:43 PM PDT  After nearly a month of back-and-forth, Grubhub has walked away from a potential acquisition from Uber and will instead merge with European company Just Eat Takeaway. The all-stock deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021. Uber was looking to buy Grubhub because the combined food ordering and delivery service would have rivaled, or maybe even surpassed, market leader DoorDash. An acquisition of Grubhub — which owns Eat24, Seamless, and MenuPages — would have been so significant that it was already drawing regulatory heat. Shortly after talks between the two companies were made public in May, a handful of US Senators alerted the country's top antitrust officials asking for the potential deal to be scrutinized. Possible... |
| Amazon bans police from using its facial recognition technology for the next year Posted: 10 Jun 2020 02:37 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is announcing a one-year moratorium on allowing law enforcement to use its controversial Rekognition facial recognition platform, the e-commerce giant said on Wednesday. The news comes just two days after IBM said it would no longer offer, develop, or research facial recognition technology, citing potential human rights and privacy abuses and research indicating facial recognition tech, despite the advances provided by artificial intelligence, remains biased along lines of age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Much of the foundational work showing the flaws of modern facial recognition tech with regard to racial bias is thanks to Joy Buolamwini, a researcher at the MIT Media Lab, and Timnit Gebru, a member at Microsoft Research.... |
| Tesla becomes most valuable automaker as more workers contract COVID-19 Posted: 10 Jun 2020 02:18 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tesla's stock price hit $1,000 for the first time on Wednesday, meaning the Silicon Valley company has now passed Toyota in market capitalization and is the most valuable automaker in the world by that metric. This comes as at least six Tesla employees have tested positive for COVID-19 in California since CEO Elon Musk reopened the company's facilities there last month — initially in violation of stay-home orders, and then with the blessing of local officials — according to new reports from The Washington Post and Electrek. An employee at Tesla's Buffalo, New York solar panel factory also tested positive for COVID-19 after that facility reopened, as The Verge previously reported. Tesla employed 48,000 people worldwide at the end of... |

| Twitter would like you to actually read stories before you retweet them Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:17 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge On Wednesday, Twitter announced that it will begin testing a new feature that will prompt users to think before they tweet articles they haven't read. This test is currently limited to Android users in English. If a user decides to retweet an article before reading it, Twitter may prompt them to open it before they do so. Twitter did not say when it plans to bring the feature to additional operating systems. "Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you Tweet it," Twitter said. "To help promote informed discussion, we're testing a new prompt on Android — when you Retweet an article that you haven't opened on Twitter, we may ask if you'd like to open it first."

| Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy S20 has mmWave 5G but less RAM Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:06 PM PDT  Standard Samsung Galaxy S20 | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Samsung released a new model of the Galaxy S20 with support for Verizon's Ultra Wideband millimeter-wave 5G network last week, but it turns out the device includes some compromises over the standard model. As spotted by Digital Trends, the Galaxy S20 5G UW has 8GB of RAM, which is 4GB less than the standard Galaxy S20. The Verizon model also does not include a microSD card slot, which allows owners to expand the phone's storage capacity. "We had to make certain design and hardware decisions to provide a device with the form factor and price point as other S20 models," a Samsung spokesperson told Digital Trends. The Galaxy S20 5G UW costs $999.99, the same price as the Galaxy S20. The Samsung Galaxy S20 line launched in March, and it... |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 11:30 AM PDT  Image: Google Under normal circumstances, Google would have introduced its Pixel 4A smartphone by now. Last year's Pixel 3A and 3A XL upended what consumers could expect from a $400 phone — especially in terms of camera performance. The company aggressively advertised that strength by comparing its midrange device to Apple's pricey iPhones, which (at the time) couldn't compare to Pixels when it came to low-light photography. Selling a great camera with Google's excellent software at a price under $500 turned out to be a smart recipe. It's generally believed that the Pixel 3A and 3A XL are among the more successful Google-branded phones to date. They were a bright spot between sluggish sales of the Pixel 3 and more recently the Pixel 4. (Last month, T... |
| Facebook lifts ad ban on non-medical face masks Posted: 10 Jun 2020 11:09 AM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge Facebook is partially lifting its advertising ban on face masks and will now allow third-party businesses to advertise cloth masks and other non-medical face coverings like bandanas, the company announced on Wednesday. The company first instituted a site-wide ban on ads for all forms of face masks, including medical and respiratory masks, in March due to national shortages and concern for medical staff and other frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ban was also designed to protect against scams, misleading marketing, and other abuses, as Facebook could not reasonably vet every ad promoting face masks that began flooding online marketplaces in early March. As the spread of the novel coronavirus began accelerating... |
