| Facebook wants to help register 4 million voters this year with new ‘Voting Information Center’ Posted: 16 Jun 2020 07:03 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook aims to improve the resources it providers American voters and will attempt to help more people register to vote ahead of the 2020 US election, according to a new op-ed by CEO Mark Zuckerberg published in USA Today on Tuesday evening. Zuckerberg says the company set a goal of helping 4 million people register to vote, up from 2 million four years ago, through resources provided across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Facebook will also introduce a new "Voting Information Center" similar in design to its COVID-19 hub, which features vetted public health information and news about the novel coronavirus and related topics. "The 2020 election is going to be unlike any other. It was already going to be a heated campaign, and... |
| Qualcomm launches new Snapdragon 690 processor to add 5G to budget phones Posted: 16 Jun 2020 07:00 PM PDT  Qualcomm is launching its next 5G chipset today, the Snapdragon 690, the first product in its 6-series chips to get support for the next-generation networking standard — although it'll only support the slower sub-6GHz versions of 5G, not the faster mmWave standard. The new Snapdragon 690 also promises a variety of other improvements over the previous 6-series chips. Qualcomm says it'll offer 20 percent better CPU performance and 60 percent faster graphics rendering compared to the Snapdragon 675. But the addition of 5G support — by way of a new Snapdragon X51 modem — is particularly important for the broader adoption of 5G, given that the company's 6-series chips tend to show up in midrange and... |
| The Witcher 3 is giving PS4 and Xbox owners a free PC copy to experience in all its glory Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:29 PM PDT  PS4 and Xbox One owners now have the chance to play the PC version of The Witcher 3 at no extra cost. The Witcher 3 originally released in 2015 on all three of those platforms, but the PC version is arguably the best way to experience the game: console versions were limited to an average framerate around 30 FPS and screen resolutions as low as 720p on the original Xbox One and 900p on PS4. Though the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions would receive 4K resolution and HDR support a few years later, some visual details took a hit, so it's still worth checking out on PC for better graphics alone. Better performance is not the only reason console owners should snag it on PC: downloadable... |
| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:03 PM PDT  Image: Hey.com Apple is threatening to remove Hey.com from the App Store if the ambitious new email service doesn't begin offering an in-app subscription and sharing a cut of its revenue, according to an executive at Basecamp, which makes Hey. David Heinemeier Hansson, the CTO of Basecamp, said that Apple is acting like "gangsters," rejecting a bug fix update and asking the company in a phone call to commit to adding an in-app subscription to prevent it from being removed. "I was taken aback by how brazen that threat was," Heinemeier Hansson told The Verge. "I thought you were supposed to wrap the threats in euphemisms or something. But it was pretty clear." In an email to The Verge, Apple said that it requires all developers to follow strict... |
| US airlines may ban passengers if they don’t wear face masks Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:39 PM PDT  Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images United and American Airlines said Monday that they will temporarily ban passengers who don't comply with a new industry-wide mandatory mask policy that goes into effect this week. The new policy announced this week by industry trade organization Airlines for America covers United, American, Delta, Hawaiian, Southwest, and JetBlue. Face coverings will now be required on all these companies' domestic flights, though the trade group left room for exceptions like young children, people with disabilities, or people with a medical reason for why they cannot wear a mask. Masks must be worn the entire flight, except for when drinking or eating. While some major airlines already required masks, there were reports that the companies weren't... |
| San Francisco’s district attorney sues DoorDash for alleged unfair business practices Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:34 PM PDT  Photo: DoorDash DoorDash, the high-flying food delivery startup, was sued by San Francisco's district attorney Tuesday for alleged unfair business practices and worker misclassification. It was the latest legal challenge targeting a gig economy company in California since the passage of the state's first-in-the-nation worker misclassification law. In a statement, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin accused DoorDash of "illegally" classifying its delivery workers as independent contractors when they are, in fact, employees. Boudin argues that misclassification hurts workers by contributing to rising income inequality and the shrinking of the middle class, and it hurts the public by forcing other companies that classify workers as employees to... |
| Galaxy Tab S7 Plus renders show off a big 12.4-inch display Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:22 PM PDT  Image: @Onleaks and Pigtou Renders for an unannounced Samsung tablet, the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, show that the device could have a big 12.4-inch screen (via 9to5Google). That screen size would make the Tab S7 Plus quite large compared to most Android tablets, though it would be a bit smaller than Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The renders come from leaker OnLeaks and case maker Pigtou and were apparently based on leaked CAD drawings. That means you should take anything about the renders with a grain of salt — but what the renders show seems within the realm of possibility. Here they are, if you want to see them for yourself: Pigtou's article also has some rumored specs and information about the Tab S7 Plus. It apparently will be approximately 285mm long, 185mm wide,... |
| Gulf states using COVID-19 contact tracing apps as mass surveillance tools, report says Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Photo by Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via Getty Images A new study analyzing COVID-19 contact tracing apps conducted by Amnesty International has found that Bahrain and Kuwait are using their public health apps as mass surveillance tools. The study analyzed a collection of contact tracing apps, which are designed to inform and monitor physical contact between people in the event someone contracts COVID-19, from 11 countries: Algeria, Bahrain, France, Iceland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Norway, Qatar, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates. It found three particularly egregious apps that collected satellite location data from users, instead of relying simply on Bluetooth signals, and matched accounts with real identities. In one extreme case, some citizens who downloaded the BeAware Bahrain... |
| Bose gives up on its augmented reality sound project Posted: 16 Jun 2020 01:52 PM PDT  Image: Bose Bose is giving up on its augmented reality project, two years after debuting the idea at SXSW. As first reported by Protocol, employees working on AR at the company have left or were laid off; Bose's partners were told their apps would stop working in the coming weeks; and the company scrubbed mentions of AR from its website in addition to closing its public AR SDK in April. The main proponent of AR at the company, SVP John Gordon, also left last summer. "Bose AR didn't become what we envisioned," a Bose spokesperson told Protocol. "It's not the first time our technology couldn't be commercialized the way we planned, but components of it will be used to help Bose owners in a different way. We're good with that. Because our research is... |
| Microsoft Stores remain closed as Apple and Best Buy continue reopening Posted: 16 Jun 2020 01:26 PM PDT  Photo by Alberto Pezzali/NurPhoto via Getty Images Microsoft is being a little warier than other companies when it comes to welcoming consumers back to its retail stores. Just today, Apple announced it will offer curbside pickup or appointment-based service at over 70 more stores in the United States this week, including the Fifth Ave "cube" and other New York City locations. 9to5Mac has the full list. Best Buy has also continued bringing more stores back online as cities relax the guidelines put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19. But Microsoft is still taking a wait-and-see approach, according to a statement provided to The Verge by email. Its stores remain closed until further notice. "Our approach for re-opening Microsoft Store locations is measured and cautious, guided by... |
