| AMD says its PS5 and Xbox Series X chips, Zen 3 CPUs, and RDNA 2 GPUs will ship on time Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:16 PM PDT  The PS5 will feature a custom AMD Zen 2 processor | Image: Sony AMD CEO Lisa Su shared during the company's second-quarter earnings call that its many anticipated product launches are still on schedule to release in 2020. This includes its 7nm processors based on Zen 3 architecture, and its RDNA 2 (or "Big Navi") graphics cards. Su also shared that AMD began initial production and shipment of next-gen console chips, including for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Both consoles are set for release this holiday. This is all good news for people hoping to upgrade their PCs with upcoming AMD parts, or those interested in buying a new console later this year. But it's unfortunate for Intel, which recently suffered a few big product roadmap setbacks. Intel announced that it's pushing back its already-delayed... |
| Kodak is branching out into pharmaceuticals with US investment Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:05 PM PDT  Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images Kodak, once a powerful force in photography, is branching out into pharmaceuticals and the US government plans to give the company a $765 million loan to support its efforts. Kodak will create a new business arm, Kodak Pharmaceuticals, to produce ingredients needed for drug manufacturing. Kodak Pharmaceuticals will make ingredients that have "lapsed into chronic national shortage," and once the unit is fully up and running, it will be able to make "up to 25 percent of active pharmaceutical ingredients used in non-biologic, non-antibacterial, generic pharmaceuticals," Kodak estimates. Kodak CEO Jim Continenza expects pharmaceuticals to eventually comprise 30 to 40 percent of Kodak's business, reports The Wall Street Journal. |
| US seeks to drop charges against former Twitter employees accused of spying for Saudi Arabia Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Two former Twitter employees who were last fall charged with spying on behalf of the government of Saudi Arabia may have charges against them dropped at the recommendation of US prosecutors, according to Bloomberg. It is unclear at this time why the US is pushing to have the case against the two men, Ahmad Abouammo and Ali Alzabarah, dismissed. But lawyers in San Francisco submitted the recommendation to a judge on Tuesday. It has yet to be approved. A third man, a Saudi citizen named Ahmed Almutairi, was also implicated in the operation as the recruiter who convinced Abouammo and Alzabarah to spy on Saudi dissidents using internal Twitter tools. Prosecutors are also recommending charges against him be dropped, Bloomberg reports. T... |
| AMC and Universal agree to let movies go from theaters to digital rentals much sooner Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:44 PM PDT  AMC Theaters and Universal have reached a new agreement that dramatically shortens the theatrical exclusivity window — the amount of time that films have to play in theaters before they're allowed to be sold or rented in other places, like iTunes, Amazon, or AMC's own On Demand service — down to just 17 days (ensuring that the films will hit at least three weekends in theaters). The new deal marks a radical shift from the standard theatrical release window, which has typically been between 70 and 90 days in recent years, and could vastly alter the landscape of both theatrical and digital film. Universal and AMC had previously been feuding over release... |
| Democrats want a truce with Section 230 supporters Posted: 28 Jul 2020 02:17 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which says apps and websites aren't legally liable for third-party content, has inspired a lot of overheated rhetoric in Congress. Republicans like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) have successfully framed the rule as a "gift to Big Tech" that enables social media censorship. While Democrats have very different critiques, some have embraced a similar fire-and-brimstone tone with the bipartisan EARN IT Act. But a Senate subcommittee tried to reset that narrative today with a hearing for the Platform Accountability and Consumer Transparency (PACT) Act, a similarly bipartisan attempt at a more nuanced Section 230 amendment. While the hearing didn't address all of the PACT Act's very real flaws, it... |

You'll be able to see the AR insects by searching for the name of... |
| Facebook says removing viral COVID-19 misinformation video ‘took longer than it should have’ Posted: 28 Jul 2020 01:56 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook has prided itself on thorough moderation and removal of COVID-19 misinformation posted to its social network since March, but the company is now under fire for having failed to take action for several hours against a fast-moving viral Breitbart News video promoting dangerous coronavirus conspiracy theories and treatments over the weekend. The company now says removal of the video "took longer than expected," in a statement given to The Verge, and the company is going to investigate why. Before Facebook took action, the video — featuring non-experts refusing to wear masks while touting unverified virus cures — had been widely shared tens of millions of times, including by President Donald Trump and his son on Twitter. After it... |
| BMW will make an all-electric 5 Series, 7 Series, and X1 Posted: 28 Jul 2020 01:54 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge BMW is developing an all-electric version of its 5 Series and 7 Series sedans as well as its entry-level X1 SUV, the company announced Monday as it detailed a renewed effort to reduce its overall emissions. That means almost all of the German luxury automaker's most popular cars will soon have all-electric variants. A fully electric version of the 3 Series, BMW's most popular car in the US, has already been spotted in testing camouflage, and the forthcoming BMW i4 is expected to slot into the 4 Series lineup. Earlier this month, the company revealed the production iX3, the all-electric version of its top-selling X3 SUV. BMW has also teased the iNext SUV, which appears similar to the slightly larger X5. To be sure, BMW won't only sell... |
| Movies Anywhere is the latest service to add a viewing party feature Posted: 28 Jul 2020 01:43 PM PDT  Movies Anywhere is rolling out a new "Watch Together" viewing party feature for its movie locker apps, allowing multiple users to sync up and enjoy a film together. While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has seen a rise in viewing party apps for streaming services (both third-party and official), Movies Anywhere's version differs by letting you watch films you've purchased, instead of limiting you to the streaming catalogs for which you have subscriptions (something that can change day by day). Additionally, Movies Anywhere's Watch Together feature works on both its mobile and desktop apps, something that's rare for most viewing party services. Setting it up is simple: the host sends out a six-digit invite code, which guests can use to... |
| Google’s new ‘for context’ links could give you the big picture around big news stories Posted: 28 Jul 2020 01:05 PM PDT  Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge If you've recently spotted a little secondary box underneath a Google News story that gives you a big-picture understanding of the news, you're not alone: Google appears to be experimenting with a new "for context" feature in Google News that links to a second, broader story on the same topic. Spotted earlier by Valentin Pletzer on Twitter, the feature appears to be live on mobile phones for some very specific search results:
It's small enough that you might easily miss what's... |
