| Donkey Kong Country heads July’s Nintendo Switch Online games Posted: 07 Jul 2020 06:31 PM PDT  Nintendo's latest addition to the library of retro games that comes with its Switch Online subscription service includes a big hitter: Donkey Kong Country. Rare's 1994 side-scrolling platformer was one of the more conspicuous absences from the service, and its addition presumably opens the door for its two sequels down the line. The other two games coming this month are a little more obscure. 1994's Natsume Championship Wrestling is a US conversion of a SNES wrestling game with its Japanese licensing removed, while The Immortal is a 1990 NES conversion of a fantasy action RPG originally developed for the Apple IIGS and published by EA. All three games will be added to the service on July 15th. Nintendo Switch Online costs $19.99 a year... |
| iOS 14 might let you scan QR codes to use Apple Pay Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:08 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple's upcoming iOS 14 update might let you pay for items by scanning QR codes that activate Apple Pay, giving you another way to use the company's digital payment platform. 9to5Mac found references to the as-yet unannounced feature in the newest iOS 14 developer beta released earlier today. 9to5Mac said it wasn't able to get the feature to work, though, but it did find an image that appears to be instructing the user about how to use the new feature. And 9to5Mac says it found the code for the feature in a public system API, which may indicate third-party apps could also let you scan QR codes to make purchases using Apple Pay. iOS 14 is still only available as a developer beta, and Apple regularly... |
| Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 event confirmed for August 5th Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:00 PM PDT  Samsung has announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, August 5th, at 10AM ET. The company is expected to reveal its new lineup of Galaxy Note 20 devices, along with a successor to its first foldable, the Galaxy Fold. Samsung's teaser is pretty cryptic, even by the standards of tech invitations, although the copper color splash does match the leaked images of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra — the rumored flagship of the lineup — that were accidentally posted on Samsung's Russian website at the beginning of July. Rumors are uncharacteristically quiet for what to expect, despite the fact that an announcement is set to arrive in less than a month. Although at least one... |
| Audi reveals a sporty version of its upcoming electric Q4 SUV Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:51 PM PDT  Images: Audi Audi has unveiled concept renderings of a new "Sportback" version of the Q4 E-Tron electric SUV that it debuted last year. Meant to serve as a smaller and more affordable option to the flagship E-Tron, the Q4s are expected to go on sale in 2021 and will start at around $45,000. The Q4 and the Q4 Sportback are "identical twins" from a technical perspective, according to Audi. As such, the Sportback version will also be powered by parent company Volkswagen's modular "MEB" platform (an abbreviation of the German phrase for "modular electric drive matrix") that is going to power a wide range of vehicles across multiple brands. This sets the Q4s apart from the original E-Tron and its variants, which are powered by an Audi-developed electric... |
| Supreme Court says government debt collectors can’t robocall your cell anymore Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:50 PM PDT  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge The US Supreme Court has upheld a federal ban on robocalls to cellphones from 1991, and it struck down a provision that exempted government-debt collectors. "Americans passionately disagree about many things," reads the majority opinion written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. "But they are largely united in their disdain for robocalls." The ruling concerns the 1991 Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which prohibited "almost all robocalls to phones." A 2015 amendment to the TCPA grants an exception to robocalls made solely to collect debt on behalf of the US government. The plaintiffs, a group of organizations that included the American Association of Political Consultants,... |
| Fraunhofer’s new H.266 codec promises to cut the cost of streaming 4K video in half Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:23 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, the electrical engineering and computer science division of the esteemed German research organization, on Tuesday announced VVC, a new video codec standard that promises to bring around 50 percent efficiency gains in streaming video compression. The codec's full name is H.266/Versatile Video Coding, as Fraunhofer says it's designed to be a successor to the industry-standard H.264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC) and H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) formats that combined make up about 90 percent of global digital video transmission and compression on the market today. While HEVC was first released in 2013, the codec has proved controversial due to aggressive patent disputes from its various... |
| Facebook boycott organizers call Mark Zuckerberg meeting ‘a disappointment’ Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:17 PM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge After months of escalating pressure, leaders from the #StopHateForProfit boycott campaign met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives today. But in a call with reporters after the meeting, organizers from Color of Change, Free Press, the NAACP, and the Anti-Defamation League described the meeting as frustrating. "The meeting that we just left was a disappointment," said Color of Change president Rashad Robinson. "At this point, we were expecting a very clear answer to the demands we are making, and we did not get that." Held on Zoom, the meeting was slightly over an hour, and it included a variety of policy team leads as well as chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and chief product officer Chris Cox. But while... |

| Go read this Kotaku story about Ubisoft’s pervasive toxic culture Posted: 07 Jul 2020 11:59 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the past few weeks, dozens of people connected to the game industry have shared stories of abuse on Twitter. One company, in particular, Ubisoft, has had multiple allegations leveled against high-ranking employees, including executives Tommy François and Maxime Béland. In a story from Kotaku, Ethan Gach reports that employees of Ubisoft Toronto are speaking up to leadership "with grave concerns about ongoing reported harassment and an inability to feel safe or protected within our own studio" in a letter signed by more than 100 employees. The report includes several stories about behavior at Ubisoft, including a particularly disturbing incident in which Béland put his hands around a female employee's neck.
