| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:37 PM PDT  Google is releasing a new update to Android Auto that allows the car software to regain some of its smarts. This includes bringing back the Calendar app, which allows you to view information on your next appointment and get driving directions if you'd added a location to the calendar entry. Google previously removed the Calendar app from its last redesign in 2019, replacing it with a button that simply read your appointments out loud using the Google Assistant instead of showing you anything on the screen. The new update also adds relevant shortcuts to the Calendar app — so if you need to pick up a birthday cake, for instance, you will have the option to either call the bakery or pull up directions to get there. Apple introduced a s... |
| Pinterest’s former COO is suing for gender discrimination and retaliation Posted: 11 Aug 2020 04:56 PM PDT  Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images The former COO of Pinterest is suing the company for gender discrimination. Françoise Brougher says she was paid less than her male peers, repeatedly left out of important meetings, and given gendered feedback, according to her legal complaint. She was fired after speaking out about these concerns, the lawsuit says. Brougher, who previously worked as the Global Business Lead at Square and as a VP on the advertising team at Google, according to her LinkedIn, learned of the salary inequalities when Pinterest was preparing to go public in 2019. She made less than her male peers, and her equity vested at a slower rate. After bringing this to the attention of Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, she still had to fight to be fairly compensated. The... |
| Tesla’s planned five-way stock split will make its shares much more affordable Posted: 11 Aug 2020 03:11 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tesla has announced a new five-way stock split to take effect on August 28th, which will make the company's shares cheaper for buyers. The electric car maker's stock closed on Tuesday at $1,374.39 a share, close to its July all-time high and at a total market valuation of more than $256 billion. But at prices that high, it's difficult for individuals — especially retail traders using platforms like Robinhood — to own more than fractional shares of the company. If you own Tesla stock by August 21st, you'll receive four additional shares of common stock on the date of the split. Starting August 31st, Tesla says it will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis. Stock splits are typically... |
| How to get rid of that irritating Meet tab in Gmail for Android and iOS Posted: 11 Aug 2020 03:02 PM PDT  I have nothing against Google's Meet videoconferencing platform — I've even used it a couple of times with relatives — but I can't help being annoyed when the feature is pushed at me via other apps. Specifically, Gmail. Meet first appeared on the desktop Gmail app last spring, but it did not take up much space and was reasonably easy to ignore (or remove from your screen, if you so wished). Now, however, Meet is making its way onto the mobile Gmail app via two tabs which will eventually appear (if they haven't already) at the bottom of your screen: one labeled "Mail" and one labeled "Meet." The problem here isn't only that you're being pushed to use a particular videoconferencing app while all you want to do is check your email, but it... |
| Watch Steve Wozniak’s celebrity-packed 70th birthday celebration tonight at 8PM ET Posted: 11 Aug 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Photo by Sonia Recchia/WireImage Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak turns 70 years old today, and you can celebrate by attending his celebrity-studded virtual birthday party that's happening in just a few hours at 8PM ET. Today's party also kicks off an "11 Days of Wozdom" social media contest offering Woz-autographed Apple products as prizes. The party isn't just an excuse to celebrate an important figure in American technology history, however. It's also a fundraiser to support Jewel's Inspiring Children Foundation (yes, as in the Grammy-nominated singer Jewel). She will be hosting tonight's festivities, which will feature a huge number of singers, actors, comedians, and other notable celebrities. It's a seriously impressive (and honestly, rather eclectic) mix, of which... |
| TikTok collected device identifiers for over a year in violation of Android policies Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:40 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge TikTok's Android app collected users' MAC addresses for 18 months in violation of the platform rules, as discovered by a Wall Street Journal investigation on Tuesday. The addresses would have served as a unique identifier for each user's device, making them valuable for both advertising and potentially more invasive forms of tracking. By 2015, both iOS's App Store and the Google Play Store had banned the collection of MAC addresses as a matter of policy, but TikTok was still able to obtain the identifier through a loophole. A study cited by the Journal found that nearly 350 apps on the Google Play Store had taken advantage of a similar loophole, generally for ad-targeting purposes. TikTok discontinued the practice in November of last... |
| Reddit bans racist subreddit after co-founder Alexis Ohanian calls it out on Twitter Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:22 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Reddit has banned another community dedicated to posting racist remarks on its platform — but only after co-founder Alexis Ohanian decided to report the subreddit. And not by actually reporting it to Reddit, but instead calling it out in a Twitter thread. Ohanian tweeted out his disgust for the subreddit to his nearly 340,000 Twitter followers after multiple users on Twitter brought it to his attention, with Ohanian expressing that the subreddit should be banned for violating Reddit's content policy guidelines. Ohanian flagging toxic content via Twitter like he's an ordinary internet user is interesting — mainly because he co-founded Reddit and likely has contacts still working there, even though he resigned from Reddit's advisory board... |
| Facebook bans blackface and anti-Semitic stereotypes in hate speech update Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:08 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook has expanded its ban on racist writings and imagery, with new rules specifically prohibiting depictions of blackface and statements or images suggesting that Jewish people control the world or major institutions. Facebook already has a broad ban on hate speech, but the company also maintains a detailed list of prohibited language (like comparing a group of people to "insects") and protected characteristics (like physical appearance) to tell users what isn't allowed. "This type of content has always gone against the spirit of our hate speech policies," Monika Bickert, Facebook's head of policy management, said on a call with reporters this afternoon. But it can be difficult for reviewers around the world to identify hate speech... |
| Xiaomi’s see-through OLED TV is a transparent attempt at attention, and it’s working Posted: 11 Aug 2020 01:48 PM PDT  Xiaomi The best TVs provide a picture that's so good, it's like looking through a window into another world. But — and stay with me — what if your next TV was like a window into, well, whatever's behind your TV? That's what Xiaomi's new $7,000 transparent OLED TV promises. The Mi TV LUX OLED Transparent Edition is a new product announced as part of Xiaomi's 10th anniversary celebration that, according to the press images, is all about displaying solitary objects floating in space. This TV is able to be transparent partly due to the fact that Xiaomi put all of the guts into its circular base instead of behind the display. But the more magical part of how it actually made a see-through OLED screen comes down to utilizing transparent OLED... |
| Google announces new tools to help with virtual education during the pandemic Posted: 11 Aug 2020 01:10 PM PDT  Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge Google announced on Tuesday a number of new features on the way to help make virtual education easier, including updates to its Google Meet conferencing service and a new homework helper tool that just requires a photo from a phone. For Meet, Google says that a larger tiled view that can show up to 49 meeting participants, which Google first announced in June, will now arrive in September. Google first launched its tiled view for Meet in April with the ability to see 16 participants at a time. So being able to see 49 people at once will bring Meet's gallery view on par with Zoom's. Google will integrate its digital whiteboard product, Jamboard, into Meet in September as well, and in October, Google will add the ability to blur or replace... |
