| Gogo lays off 14 percent of its workers as airline industry struggles continue Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:21 PM PDT  Photo by Christian Charisius/picture alliance via Getty Images In-flight Wi-Fi provider Gogo is laying off 143 people, or about 14 percent of its workforce, as people continue to avoid air travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company previously furloughed 600 workers and cut executive pay in April, and said Thursday that it will "continue certain furloughs and maintain the salary reductions that were previously implemented." The cuts will come "predominantly from the Company's Commercial Aviation business," according to a press release issued Thursday. Gogo applied for CARES Act funding, but it's unclear if it ever received any assistance. "Based on our current expectations of the scope and timing of a recovery in the industry and our Commercial Aviation business, reducing our workforce has... |
| Three people have been charged for Twitter’s huge hack, and a Florida teen is in jail Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:08 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro Early on July 31st, the FBI, IRS, US Secret Service, and Florida law enforcement placed 17-year-old Graham Clark of Tampa, Florida, under arrest. He's accused of being the "mastermind" behind the biggest security and privacy breach in Twitter's history, one that took over the accounts of President Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Apple, and more to perpetrate a huge bitcoin scam on July 15th. Apparently, he wasn't alone: shortly after the Tampa arrest was revealed and after we published this story, two more individuals were formally charged by the US Department of Justice: 22-year-old Nima Fazeli in Orlando and 19-year-old Mason Sheppard in the UK. They go by the hacker... |
| Google’s ‘trust tokens’ are here to take cookies down a peg Posted: 31 Jul 2020 03:26 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google said earlier this year it would join other web browser companies to block third-party cookies in Chrome, and today, developers have their first chance to test a proposed alternative to tracking users across the web: trust tokens. Unlike cookies, trust tokens are designed to authenticate a user without needing to know their identity. Trust tokens would not be able to track users across websites, because they're theoretically all the same, but they could still let websites prove to advertisers that actual users — not bots — visited a site or clicked on an ad. (An explainer on GitHub suggests that websites could issue multiple different kinds of trust tokens, though.) Google's been a little slower to adapt a solution for the... |
| Apple is now the world’s most valuable publicly traded company Posted: 31 Jul 2020 03:07 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple is now the world's most valuable publicly traded company, passing Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco. As of close of business Friday, Apple has a market valuation of $1.84 trillion, while Saudi Aramco's is $1.76 trillion, according to CNBC. Apple's stock, which has been on a largely-steady climb since the end of March, closed up more than 10 percent on Friday following the company's record-breaking third-quarter earnings on Thursday, ending the day at $425.04. Apple's total revenue for Q3 hit $59.7 billion, up 11 percent from last year. Strong Mac and iPad sales were a highlight, and the company likely saw increased demand for the devices while people have been sheltering in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.... |
| Microsoft confirms Halo Infinite multiplayer will be free-to-play and up to 120fps Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:45 PM PDT  Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode will be free-to-play and support up to 120fps, Microsoft has announced. The news comes after a leak from Smyths Toys Superstores, which briefly posted details (Google Cache) about Halo Infinite multiplayer on a promotional page this week before quickly removing them once the internet discovered the references. "The legendary Halo series returns with the most expansive Master Chief campaign yet and a groundbreaking free-to-play multiplayer experience," read the listing. "Enjoy up to 120 FPS and greatly reduced load times creating seamless gameplay with Xbox Series X." Klobrille, an Xbox leaker that accurately revealed previous Halo Infinite... |
| Rocket Lab says it has approval to return to flight after losing a rocket during launch Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:00 PM PDT  Less than a month after Rocket Lab lost one of its vehicles during a mission, the small satellite launcher has approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to start launching its Electron rockets again. The company plans to launch its next rocket sometime in August from the company's primary launch site in New Zealand. On July 4th, Rocket Lab launched its 13th mission to space from New Zealand, carrying seven small satellites, most of which were designed to image the Earth from above. Just a few minutes into the flight, the engine on the upper portion of the Electron shut down too early, according to Rocket Lab. As a result, the rocket didn't achieve orbit and fell back into Earth's atmosphere where it burned up and destroyed all... |
| Microsoft’s US offices won’t reopen until January 2021 at the earliest Posted: 31 Jul 2020 12:37 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft isn't planning to fully reopen its US offices until at least January 2021. Sources familiar with the company's plans tell The Verge that Microsoft has selected January 19th, 2021, as the earliest possible date for its US offices to be open for employees. The software giant is currently planning a "hybrid workplace" for a phased reopening of its offices, and Microsoft has produced a six-stage dial that illustrates the return to normal for employees. Stage six of the dial will be when offices are ready to fully reopen for employees to return to work. Microsoft's offices will return to normal operations only when most restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 outbreak have been lifted and health data suggests it's safe to return. T... |
| Dark Sky alternatives for Android weather watchers Posted: 31 Jul 2020 12:11 PM PDT  Photo by Eduardo Sanz / Europa Press via Getty Images If you're a weather geek, you probably already know that Dark Sky, one of the most popular weather apps around, has been acquired by Apple and is probably being integrated into iOS 14. As a result, anyone who uses an Android device and has the Dark Sky app is going to lose access on August 1st. (It was originally going to go away on July 1st, but the shutdown was delayed a month.) In addition, a variety of other apps (some not even weather-related) will lose access to the Dark Sky API. If you're an Android user with Dark Sky and you're wondering where to go now for your weather report, there are a few alternatives to choose from. But first, here are a couple of things to consider. Several Android weather apps have been found to ask for... |
| V for Vendetta knew our future would be a bleak one Posted: 31 Jul 2020 10:57 AM PDT  Photo illustration by William Joel / The Verge The Verge is a place where you can consider the future. So are movies. In Yesterday's Future, we revisit a movie about the future and consider the things it tells us about today, tomorrow, and yesterday. The movie: V for Vendetta (2006) directed by James McTeigue The future: In V for Vendetta, a lot has gone wrong very quickly, and it doesn't seem like there's much to be done about it. The film is set in 2020, and London is now under the authoritarian rule of the fascist High Chancellor Sutler (John Hurt), the leader of the extremely Nazi-looking Norsefire party. The parallels to real-world 2020 are alarming: the "St. Mary's virus" has unleashed a pandemic on the world, crippling the United States (which doesn't really factor into the... |
| President Trump plans to sever TikTok from its Chinese owner, Bloomberg reports Posted: 31 Jul 2020 10:55 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge President Donald Trump intends to sign an order that would direct ByteDance to sell its ownership of the US-based video-sharing app TikTok, according to Bloomberg. The order, which could be announced as soon as Friday afternoon, would employ the Council on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to force ByteDance to divest, similar to the process undertaken against Grindr's Chinese investors last year. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News that the Trump administration was "certainly looking at" banning TikTok in the country, stopping short of explaining exactly how it planned to do so. "We are taking this very seriously. We are certainly looking at it," Pompeo said at the time. "With respect to... |
