| Facebook and Twitter remove manipulated video from president’s accounts after DMCA complaint Posted: 19 Jun 2020 01:47 PM PDT  Alex Wong/Getty Images Facebook has removed a manipulated video posted on President Trump's account after receiving a copyright complaint from the rights owners. The manipulated video shows a black toddler running away from a white toddler, with a CNN chyron reading "terrified toddler runs from racist baby." The original video, which went viral last year, sees the total opposite, with the two toddlers running toward each other on the sidewalk so they can hug. The video was created by Carpe Donktum, a prolific pro-Trump meme creator who the president has amplified in the past, and uploaded to both Facebook and Twitter. It arrives as protests across the country fighting against systemic racism in the United States, and on the eve of Juneteenth — a day that many... |
| Cruises out of US ports will be suspended until September 15th Posted: 19 Jun 2020 11:46 AM PDT  Photo by Ben McCanna / Portland Portland Press Herald via Getty Images The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has announced that its members are voluntarily suspending operations out of US ports through September 15th, 2020. Its members include Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian Cruise line and as CNBC notes, the extension goes beyond the CDC's July 24th "no-sail" order. Carnival had previously announced it intended to resume operations in the US on August 1st. The CLIA's statement says in part that "although we had hoped that cruise activity could resume as soon as possible after that date, it is increasingly clear that more time will be needed to resolve barriers to resumption in the United States." It's reflective of the harsh reality that the US has not made as much progress as other... |
| Hulu will stream IMAX’s gorgeous documentaries, but not in 4K Posted: 19 Jun 2020 11:04 AM PDT  Hulu is partnering with IMAX to exclusively carry 16 of the technology company's documentaries in the United States, including A Beautiful Planet, Destiny in Space, and Into the Deep — but none of the titles will be available in 4K. A spokesperson for IMAX tells The Verge that "Hulu is not planning on showing the documentaries in 4K," but a press release notes that many of the films heading to Hulu have been remastered. Other streaming services, like Disney Plus, have offered 4K remastered versions of films, including the Star Wars series, for streaming purposes. While not every IMAX movie has received a 4K home release option, some IMAX titles, including A Beautiful Planet, received IMAX Enhanced Blu-ray physical releases, which offers... |
| AMC Theaters changes course and will require customers to wear face masks Posted: 19 Jun 2020 10:43 AM PDT  Photo by Valerie Macon/AFP via Getty Images In an abrupt about-face, the movie theater chain AMC said Friday it would require guests to wear face masks when its theaters reopen, after CEO Adam Aron earlier said it would not. "This announcement prompted an intense and immediate outcry from our customers, and it is clear from this response that we did not go far enough on the usage of masks," Aron said in a statement. "Accordingly, and with the full support of our scientific advisors, we are reversing course and are changing our guest mask policy. As we reopen theatres, we now will require that all AMC guests nationwide wear masks as they enter and enjoy movies at our theatres." On Thursday, Aron told Variety the chain would not require patrons to wear face masks because it "did... |
| Apple will re-close some US stores due to coronavirus spikes Posted: 19 Jun 2020 10:38 AM PDT  Apple is closing several recently reopened retail stores in four US states after a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, Bloomberg reported. A total of 11 stores in Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, and South Carolina will be temporarily shuttered. The company closed all of its stores outside of mainland China in March as the coronavirus pandemic spread. It began reopening US stores in May, with some offering only curbside or storefront service and not allowing customers inside. Stores that did open to customers were conducting temperature checks and required customers and employees to wear face masks. "Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas," an Apple... |
| Snapchat apologizes for Juneteenth filter that prompted users to ‘smile’ to break chains Posted: 19 Jun 2020 10:23 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Snapchat is apologizing for a controversial Juneteenth filter that allowed users to "smile and break the chains," saying the filter had not gone through its usual review protocols. The filter was panned by critics on Friday morning shortly after its release for its tone deafness, and was disabled by about 11AM ET. "We deeply apologize to the members of the Snapchat community who found this Lens offensive," a Snap spokesperson said in an email to The Verge. "A diverse group of Snap team members were involved in developing the concept, but a version of the Lens that went live for Snapchatters this morning had not been approved through our review process. We are investigating why this mistake occurred so that we can avoid it in the... |
| Tesla tells workers they can take Juneteenth off without pay — on Juneteenth Posted: 19 Jun 2020 10:05 AM PDT  Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Verge Tesla has told its workers they are allowed to take Juneteenth off as an "excused absence" after some had already showed up for work on the holiday that recognizes the end of slavery in the United States, according to internal emails first reported by BuzzFeed and CNBC. The company also told employees that they would not be paid if they don't show up. Just after this story published, CEO Elon Musk tweeted that Juneteenth will be "henceforth considered a US holiday at Tesla & SpaceX," but that employees will have to use one of their allotted paid-time-off days, which he said was "true of many other holidays." Other Silicon Valley companies like Spotify, Uber, and Twitter had previously announced ahead of time that they were making... |
| Disney Plus no longer offers free trials, just before Hamilton release Posted: 19 Jun 2020 09:55 AM PDT  Image: Disney Disney Plus has appeared to have quietly stopped offering new subscribers a free seven-day trial of the streaming service, as spotted by French pop culture site Numerama. It the free trial offer seems to be no longer available in the United States — there's no mention of it anymore on the streaming site, and attempting to sign up for a new account will simply direct users to begin payments immediately for the service. "We continue to test and evaluate different marketing, offers, and promotions to grow Disney+. The service was set at an attractive price-to-value proposition that we believe delivers a compelling entertainment offering on its own," said a Disney Plus spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. It's not clear when Disney... |
| Google Meet now has a ‘meet.new’ shortcut for quickly starting new video conferences Posted: 19 Jun 2020 09:34 AM PDT  Photo courtesy Google Google is expanding its .new browser shortcuts to Google Meet, its video conferencing service that the company has heavily expanded in recent months due to a huge influx of users looking to stay connected in COVID-19 quarantines, via 9to5Google. Like the company's docs.new, sheets.new, or slide.new shortcuts, typing "meet.new" into your browser will automatically open a new Google Meet session. It's a small addition, but a useful one for anyone who uses the tool a lot. Additionally, like with the Google Docs shortcuts, users can append numbers to designate between multiple accounts, so you could create a menubar bookmark of "meet.new/1" for your personal account, and "meet.new/2" for work. Google first launches its .new shortcuts back... |
| Guinness reverses decision to strip Billy Mitchell’s Pac-Man and Donkey Kong records Posted: 19 Jun 2020 08:33 AM PDT  Guinness World Records has reversed its 2018 decision to strip Billy Mitchell of his Pac-Man and Donkey Kong world records, according to Ars Technica, in what is the latest twist in a long story about the notorious arcade game master at the center of documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. This means that, according to Guinness, Mitchell is once again the first to achieve a perfect score on Pac-Man (totaling 3,333,360 points) and the first to reach 1 million points on Donkey Kong. But Guinness stands alone in recognizing Mitchell's scores, as Twin Galaxies International Scoreboard — an organization that also audits and awards records — is sticking with its... |
