| Amazon is reportedly considering adding live TV to its Prime Video service Posted: 23 Jun 2020 03:02 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon could be planning to bolster its Prime Video service, which is mostly known for its on-demand video offerings, with live TV, according to a report from Protocol and publicly available job listings. Details are light about what the new live TV services might entail, though the efforts appear to be in their early stages. One job listing says Amazon is looking for someone who can "redefine how customers watch 24/7 linear broadcast TV content." That person will also be tasked with "designing the end-to-end customer experience for how customers discover and watch Linear TV content." (Linear TV is another way to describe live TV, like what you might watch on a broadcast channel.) The Prime Video team is also apparently "building next... |
| Netflix is making it easier for people to remove titles from their ‘continue watching’ row Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:32 PM PDT  After browsing for a new movie or TV show to watch on Netflix, people may throw something on before deciding 10 minutes in they're just not that interested. Netflix's new "remove from row" feature is designed to make it easier for people to remove those titles from their currently watching offerings. The goal is to give people more control over what appears on their Netflix homepage. The "continue watching" row is one of the most prominent, appearing at the top of the homepage. This makes it easy to jump back into a TV show that someone might be making their way through, or pick right back up where they left off with The Irishman (if you're like me and it took a few sittings to watch). The annoying thing, however, is that if someone is... |
| Apple will extend the lifespan of your AirPods by choosing when they charge Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:01 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple is adding a new feature as part of its newly announced iOS 14 that will extend the lifespan of your AirPods. Apple says the operating system will reduce how quickly your AirPods' batteries age by learning when you typically charge them and predicting when to stop charging them automatically. Instead of charging to 100 percent right away, the AirPods will stop charging at 80 percent, then resume later, so they don't sit at 100 percent over an extended period of time. Most modern devices, including Apple products, use a lithium-ion battery, and experts agree that you shouldn't always keep them 100 percent charged; you can extend a lithium-ion battery's life by... |
| Twitter restricts Trump threat of ‘serious force’ against protesters Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:54 PM PDT  Photo by Noah Riffe/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Twitter has continued its policy of labeling — but not removing — rule-breaking tweets from President Donald Trump. The company restricted a Trump post promising "serious force" against a potential Washington, DC equivalent to Seattle's Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone. "We've placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group," writes Twitter's safety team. The warning is posted above the tweet and appears if users try to retweet it. Following Twitter's usual policy for world leaders whose tweets serve a "public interest," however, it won't be deleted.

| What a machine learning tool that turns Obama white can (and can’t) tell us about AI bias Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:45 PM PDT  The PULSE algorithm takes pixelated faces and turns them into high-resolution images. | Image: Twitter / @Chicken3gg It's a startling image that illustrates the deep-rooted biases of AI research. Input a low-resolution picture of Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, into an algorithm designed to generate depixelated faces, and the output is a white man. It's not just Obama, either. Get the same algorithm to generate high-resolution images of actress Lucy Liu or congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from low-resolution inputs, and the resulting faces look distinctly white. As one popular tweet quoting the Obama example put it: "This image speaks volumes about the dangers of bias in AI." But what's causing these outputs and what do they really tell us about AI bias?

| Bungie releases Destiny 2 items in support of Black Lives Matter Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:34 PM PDT  Bungie is providing a novel way for Destiny 2 players to show their support for Black Lives Matter inside the game. Today, the developer started preorders for what it calls a "be heard" enamel pin — it features a black fist gripping a lightning bolt, set above the Black Lives Matter slogan — which costs $15, with all proceeds going toward the Equal Justice Initiative. The pin isn't expected to start shipping until later this year, but those who purchase will also get a voucher for an in-game emblem featuring the same visual design. Emblems are one of the most prominent aspects in Destiny 2 character customization, appearing alongside players' names in profiles and in multiplayer modes. "We know that Guardians in Destiny... |
| The EU plans to ban US travelers indefinitely after haphazard COVID-19 response Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:26 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The European Union plans to ban travel from the US when it reopens its borders on July 1st because of the Trump administration's poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from The New York Times. Under current plans, the US would join Brazil and Russia on the list of forbidden countries, as all three countries have had comparably poor responses to the virus since the worldwide outbreak at the beginning of the year. Travel from China, as well as some developing countries, will be allowed, the report states. The EU is still finalizing the list, the NYT reports, and it expects to submit it to the 27 bloc members next week ahead of the July 1st reopening deadline. Members are being strongly encouraged to adopt it or else... |
| All the new features iOS 14 borrows from Android Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:15 PM PDT  iOS 14 is here, and it brings a bunch of big new features to Apple's operating system — including a few that should look pretty familiar to Android users who have had similar functionality for some time. It's the eternal cycle of software platforms: Google's good ideas will almost always end up on iOS at some point, even as the next version of Android will, no doubt, crib some ideas from Apple. Home screen widgetsThe big one: after years of keeping the iOS home screen static, Apple is finally allowing users to add widgets to their home screens. Widgets have been one of the core differentiating features between Android and iOS going back to the very first iteration of Android, and it's a feature that Google would continue... |
| Mercedes-Benz and Nvidia team up to develop next-generation supercomputers for cars Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:07 PM PDT  Mercedes-Benz is teaming up with Nvidia to develop a next-generation computing platform for vehicles that will support everything from over-the-air software updates to automated driving. The German automaker said it plans to begin rolling out the new technology across its fleet starting in 2024. The new platform will be based on Nvidia's system-on-a-chip Orin technology and will also use the San Jose-based company's full Drive AGX software stack. Nvidia first unveiled Orin at CES in December 2019, and aside from top-line specifications such as the ability to deliver up to 200 trillion operations per second while using less power, the company has yet to provide any further details. The new platform includes a full system software stack... |
