| Three top Ubisoft execs are leaving the company amid abuse allegations Posted: 11 Jul 2020 06:23 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Paris-based video game company Ubisoft announced Saturday that several high-level company officers are leaving amid allegations of abuse and harassment. The departures of chief creative officer Serge Hascoët, global head of HR Cécile Cornet, and Yannis Mallat, managing director of Ubisoft's Canadian studios, "come following the initiation of a rigorous review that the company initiated in response to recent allegations and accusations of misconduct and inappropriate behavior," Ubisoft said in a statement. Earlier this week, Ubisoft confirmed the departure of its vice president, Maxime Béland, following assault allegations, making a total of four prominent executives departing. Under Mallat, Ubisoft's Toronto studio produced several of... |
| Fitbit Charge 4 gets ‘smart wake’ alarm and dynamic GPS with latest software update Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:42 PM PDT  The latest software update to the Fitbit Charge 4 gives two big upgrades including dynamic GPS, and a "smart wake" option. First reported by 9to5Google, the new features are now rolling out to all users. Dynamic GPS allows you to connect with the GPS in your phone if it's in range, which may help with location accuracy and preserve the Fitbit's battery life. If your phone isn't close enough, the tracker will revert to its internal GPS, which can drain the battery more quickly. The Smart Wake feature is a pretty cool addition; it will work along with the wearable's sleep tracker, and set alarms to wake you at the time you're likely to feel most rested. Another new option allows users to decide how long the screen display stays on once... |
| Cisco’s Webex videoconferencing software now lets you set virtual backgrounds Posted: 11 Jul 2020 02:12 PM PDT  As it tries to catch up with the popular features offered by some of its younger competitors, Cisco's Webex has unveiled virtual backgrounds for its videoconferences. Users can either apply a "blur" effect to mask their background or replace with one of Webex's preset background images. Zoom, the most popular videoconferencing app of the moment, and rivals Google Meet and Microsoft Teams all allow users to upload their own custom images for background displays. Webex is one of the oldest players in the videoconferencing space. It was founded in 1995 and acquired by Cisco in 2007 for $3.2 billion. It's primarily used as a business application and has a focus on companies, rather than personal customers, but has increased the features... |
| Bill Gates says COVID-19 drugs should go where needed, not just ‘the highest bidder’ Posted: 11 Jul 2020 08:02 AM PDT  Photo by Saeed Adyani / Netflix Microsoft founder Bill Gates said Saturday that drugs and a future vaccine to treat COVID-19 should go where they are most needed, not just to "the highest bidder," Reuters reported. "If we just let drugs and vaccines go to the highest bidder, instead of to the people and the places where they are most needed, we'll have a longer, more unjust, deadlier pandemic," Gates said (remotely) during a COVID-19 conference. "We need leaders to make these hard decisions about distributing based on equity, not just on market-driven factors." The World Health Organization said July 6th there were 21 candidate vaccines in clinical trials being tested on human volunteers. Public health experts have cautioned against "vaccine nationalism" —where... |
| 7 new trailers to watch this week Posted: 11 Jul 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Photo: Hopper Stone / WarnerMedia I love when books and films take place over really short periods of time, and I recently watched two that work within a similar time frame back to back: Booksmart (which I was seeing for the first time) and Cloverfield (which, if I'd ever seen before, I had completely forgotten). Both take place mostly over the course of a single night, which kicks off after a short setup sequence introduces their cast of characters. The movies aren't particularly alike, but side by side, it was clear what a comparably amazing job Booksmart does in getting its events rolling. The main character is set up in all of 30 seconds with a glance over her bedroom, and nearly every other character in the movie is established over the next 15 minutes. Then the... |
| Wells Fargo directs employees to remove TikTok from company mobile devices Posted: 11 Jul 2020 06:32 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Wells Fargo has instructed employees who installed TikTok on company devices to remove the app over privacy concerns, as first reported by The Information. "We have identified a small number of Wells Fargo employees with corporate-owned devices who had installed the TikTok application on their device," a Wells Fargo spokesperson said in an email to The Verge. "Due to concerns about TikTok's privacy and security controls and practices, and because corporate-owned devices should be used for company business only, we have directed those employees to remove the app from their devices." It's the latest company to raise security concerns about employees using the popular video-sharing app, which hit 2 billion downloads in April. On Friday, A... |
| SpaceX delays launch of its latest batch of Starlink satellites, with two hitchhiking spacecraft Posted: 11 Jul 2020 06:31 AM PDT  Update July 11th, 9:30AM ET: SpaceX postponed the launch again on Saturday morning, "to allow more time for checkouts." The company says it will announce a new launch day once it's confirmed. Original Story: A little over a week after launching a GPS satellite for the Space Force, SpaceX is back with another launch of its internet-beaming Starlink satellites. The company's Falcon 9 rocket is slated to take off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, launching 57 Starlink spacecraft as well as two hitchhiking Earth observation satellites from operator BlackSky.
