| Telegram launches one-on-one video calls on iOS and Android Posted: 15 Aug 2020 03:23 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Secure messaging app Telegram has launched an alpha version of one-on-one video calls on both its Android and iOS apps, the company announced, saying 2020 had "highlighted the need for face-to-face communication." In a blog post marking its seventh anniversary, Telegram described the process for starting a video call: tap the profile page of the person you want to connect with. Users are able to switch video on or off at any time during a call, and the video calls support picture-in-picture mode, so users can continue scrolling through the app if that call gets boring. Video calls will have end-to-end-encryption, Telegram's blog posts states, one of the app's defining features for its audio calls and texting. |
| President Trump now has a profile on TikTok rival Triller Posted: 15 Aug 2020 02:20 PM PDT  Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images President Donald Trump has joined Triller, a rival to the video sharing app TikTok that he wants ban in the US. First noted by New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz, Trump's Triller account (@donaldjtrump) has about 3,500 followers, and his introductory video has more than 590,000 views. The intro video features clips of the president and audio clips of him saying "I'm a professional at technology," and "nobody can do it like me." The other two videos on the account as of Saturday afternoon were a clip of the president making a short speech in which he says "Joe Biden has no clue," and another clip mocking the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Over the past few weeks, as the Trump administration has continued its push against... |

| FDA authorizes COVID-19 saliva test trialed in the NBA bubble Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:12 AM PDT  The Los Angeles Lakers play the Denver Nuggets in the NBA's bubble. | Photo by Jim Poorten/NBAE via Getty Images The Food and Drug Administration authorized a saliva-based COVID-19 test that the National Basketball Association helped study. The testing method, called SalivaDirect, is cheap and could be run by most labs. Labs could charge as little as $10 per sample to run the test, said Nathan Grubaugh, an assistant professor at the Yale School of Public Health and one head of the team developing the test, in a press release. This is the fifth saliva-based testing method authorized by the FDA. People can collect a saliva sample themselves by spitting into a tube, rather than have a healthcare provider insert a swab deep into their nasal cavity. Many labs have struggled to get enough swabs for COVID-19 tests, and using saliva sidesteps that... |
| Musk says Tesla two-factor authentication “embarrassingly late” but coming soon Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Friday that two-factor authentication for its app is "embarrassingly late" but apparently is now on the way. Musk didn't provide a timeline, but said on Twitter that two-factor authentication — which adds an additional step to verify a user's identity at sign-in— is in "final validation."
Judging from Musk's tweet, Tesla's 2FA will be available via SMS and authenticator apps, which are generally considered more secure. Musk said last year that Tesla was working on "foundational upgrades" to Tesla's core operating system and would be... |
| Mozilla and Google renew Firefox search agreement Posted: 15 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Mozilla and Google have extended their arrangement to keep Google the default search engine within the Firefox browser until at least 2023, ZDNet reported. The companies have not formally announced the deal, which ZDNet estimates is worth between $400 and $450 million per year, but are expected to announce it later this fall. The current arrangement was due to expire at the end of 2020. "Mozilla's search partnership with Google is ongoing, with Google as the default search provider in the Firefox browser in many places around the world, Mozilla spokesperson Justin O'Kelly said in an email to The Verge. "We've recently extended the partnership, and the relationship isn't changing." The move comes as Mozilla just announced plans to lay off... |
| 9 new trailers to watch this week Posted: 15 Aug 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Photo: Joe Lederer / Hulu Last weekend, I watched An American Pickle, the new Seth Rogen film and one of HBO Max's first originals. It's the perfect kind of streaming-first movie — interesting enough to check out since I'm already paying for HBO, but not something I would have paid specifically to see in theaters. The movie is surprisingly quick and focused. There are really only two characters in the whole thing, and they're both played by Rogen — one an app developer in Brooklyn, the other an early 1900s immigrant to New York who wakes in the present day after being frozen in pickle brine for a century. Rogen does a great job setting the two apart, and it's fun watching him play off of himself. It's strange, though, just how narrow the film is. We don't get to... |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 07:00 AM PDT  A jogger wears a gaiter as a mask in April, 2020. | Photo by Pat Greenhouse/The Boston Globe via Getty Images A minor face-covering controversy broke out this week, thanks to a widely-misinterpreted paper involving masks, lasers, and spit. The study, which came out in Science Advances on August 7, was pretty straightforward. It laid out a method that other scientists could use to test masks in their own labs. Using a dark box, some lasers, a cell phone camera and a relatively simple algorithm they figured out a way to test how effective different kinds of masks were at containing spit. People spit when they talk. They also spew droplets out of their mouth when they breathe heavily, sneeze, or sing Hamilton tunes. That humid mess can contain viruses, which is one reason that everyone is now encouraged to wear a mask in public — to reduce the... |

| Trump gives TikTok a new deadline: 90 days instead of 45 Posted: 14 Aug 2020 08:11 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge President Trump issued an executive order Friday giving ByteDance 90 days to either sell or spin off its TikTok business in the US. "There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance ... might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States," Trump wrote in the order, which references national security concerns. ByteDance is based in China, and the Trump administration has recently suggested that the company could share information about Americans with the Chinese government. The company has denied it does so. The move gives TikTok a bit of a reprieve from Trump's August 6th order that would have blocked all US transactions with ByteDance, TikTok's parent corporation, due to what the... |
