| IBM will no longer offer, develop, or research facial recognition technology Posted: 08 Jun 2020 05:49 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge IBM will no longer offer general purpose facial recognition or analysis software, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said in a letter to Congress today. The company will also no longer develop or research the technology, IBM tells The Verge. Krishna addressed the letter to Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Reps. Karen Bass (D-CA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). "IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any [facial recognition] technology, including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for mass surveillance, racial profiling, violations of basic human rights and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency," Krishna said in... |
| Google Duo now lets you send Zoom-like invite links for group video calls Posted: 08 Jun 2020 04:35 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google's Duo video calling platform now has invite links on mobile, making it even more of a viable competitor to Zoom and other videoconferencing apps, according to Android Police. Unlike Google Meet, the company's more fully-featured platform designed for businesses, Duo is a more mobile-friendly and consumer-focused app. Yet given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever before are using video conferencing for casual hangouts at scales much larger than your standard video call. That's led Google to plan and launch more robust features to all of its various chat apps, Duo included. The app recently gained a bump in call quality thanks to Google supporting the new AV1 codec,... |
| Tesla’s second largest shareholder invests $35 million in air taxi startup Lilium Posted: 08 Jun 2020 04:01 PM PDT  German air taxi startup Lilium said on Monday it has raised an additional $35 million to fuel its goal of launching an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle by 2025. That's in addition to $240 million raised by the company in early March, when much of the globe began to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lilium, which is based in Munich, is one of the more promising ventures with its sights set on an urban taxi service meant to supplant normal car traffic. And while other eVTOL companies are struggling to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lilium is continuing to raise funds. As part of its expanded round, Lilium is adding a new investor: Baillie Gifford, the 112-year-old Scottish asset management firm... |
| Here’s how Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri answer the question, ‘Do black lives matter?’ Posted: 08 Jun 2020 03:53 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Digital assistants from Amazon, Apple, and Google state their support for the Black Lives Matter movement when prompted (via Business Insider). As people have protested in all 50 states and across the world over the death of George Floyd and against racism and police brutality, tech companies have responded by putting out statements of solidarity against racial injustice. Though not all tech companies or their executives have outright said the words "black lives matter" in their public statements, Amazon, Apple, and Google have programmed their voice assistants state the phrase. The voice assistants also have responses to the question "do all lives matter?", referencing a right-wing refrain commonly used to criticize the Black Lives... |
| This Nintendo Switch stylus pen makes pressure-sensitive art Posted: 08 Jun 2020 02:59 PM PDT  Nintendo Switch styluses aren't exactly a common accessory for the hybrid gaming system. Sure, there have been a few attempts, but nothing has come close to making a stylus a practical accessory for Switch owners. The Colors SonarPen, the latest attempt at a Switch stylus, goes beyond hardware to try to transform the device into a proper tablet. The stylus is an accompanying piece for Colors Live, a digital painting app for the Nintendo Switch that is the successor to the Nintendo 3DS stylus art game Colors! 3D. The SonarPen is a wired stylus that connects to the Switch's 3.5mm audio jack due to the console's lack of built-in Bluetooth. "Because the Switch doesn't have general Bluetooth, it's not possible to use professional styluses... |
| Twitter is working to bring back verification Posted: 08 Jun 2020 02:36 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter is working on a new system for verifying users, according to a tweet by reverse engineer and online sleuth Jane Manchun Wong. She discovered a "request verification" field in the Twitter app in the "personal information" section of the app's settings. Twitter confirmed Wong's tweet but declined to comment further. The company's help page still says its verified account program is on hold, and "we are not accepting any new requests at this time," however. So it's not clear when Twitter may reopen verification to users or what the new process may entail.

| The ACLU is suing Los Angeles over its controversial scooter tracking system Posted: 08 Jun 2020 02:28 PM PDT  Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images The American Civil Liberties Union sued Los Angeles Monday over the city's requirement that electric scooter rental companies provide anonymized real-time location data. The lawsuit centers on the Los Angeles Department of Transportation's use of a digital tool called the Mobility Data Specification program (MDS), which the agency created as a way to track and regulate electric scooters operating on its streets. MDS provides the city with data on where each bike and scooter trip starts, the route each vehicle takes, and where each trip ends. LADOT has said the data won't be shared with police without a warrant, won't contain personal identifiers, and won't be subject to public records requests. But the ACLU says the data tool is... |
| Twitch streamers are getting blindsided by years-old copyright notices Posted: 08 Jun 2020 12:45 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the last few days, a furor has been brewing on Twitch: out of the blue, streamers started seeing copyright takedown notices appear in their inboxes. The claimant was listed as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and the infringing material was mostly recorded clips of old live broadcasts. And that's a problem because it's stated very clearly in the Twitch terms of service that if your account is dinged with three of these strikes, you get permabanned from Twitch. The clips themselves were sometimes years old, too, which is a bigger headache because streamers who have been on the platform long enough have accumulated tons of these and now have a backlog rights holders can mine to file takedowns. Twitch doesn't have... |
| Summer game fest: how to watch this summer’s digital gaming events Posted: 08 Jun 2020 12:00 PM PDT  Image: Summer Game Fest Even though E3, Gamescom, and other summer gaming events have become online-only or outright canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there's still going to be a lot of gaming news this summer. Publishers and media have already scheduled many digital events, promising news and announcements, which could help fill the void left by the loss of the big tentpole events. And it seems likely that some of these events will provide early looks at the first Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 games, making them particularly intriguing. To help you keep track of everything that's planned, we've collected every event that we know about in this post. We've put together details about each event, when they're scheduled to happen, and how to watch them. Be... |
| HP’s Chromebook x360 14c is a premium Chromebook for $499 Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:12 AM PDT  HP has announced its Chromebook x360 14c, which it says is its most premium Chrome OS product yet. It starts at $499 and will be available in June. The 3.5-pound convertible device has a 14-inch touchscreen with an 88 percent screen-to-body ratio —the largest ever for an HP-made consumer Chromebook. Take a peek at the photos below — it looks nice: Inside, you'll find up to 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processors, up to 128GB of eMMC storage, and a claimed 13.5 hours of battery life. There's a backlit keyboard, a webcam privacy switch, a fingerprint reader, and fast charging (HP claims you'll get 50 percent in 45 minutes). The fingerprint reader is something we wouldn't necessarily expect to see on a $499 laptop... |
