It will cost $5, and runs on a simple card that uses the same technology as a pregnancy test. The test, called BinaxNOW, is produced by the health care company Abbott. The company is also launching an app that syncs up with the tests, and gives people who test negative for the virus a "digital health pass" that they can display on their phone. CEO Robert Ford said in a statement that the combination of the test and the app offer a "comprehensive testing solution." The company said in a press release that it plans to produce 50 million tests per month by October. "Due to its simpler... |
| Dota 2’s The International 10 prize pool has hit a record-breaking $34,396,000 (and counting) Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:02 PM PDT  Image: Valve Dota 2's The International, one of the biggest esports tournaments in the world, has broken its own record as the most lucrative esports event, with this year's prize pool already totaling more than $34,396,000. The previous record was a prize pool of $34.3 million from last year's event. Dota 2 developer Valve was forced to indefinitely delay this year's iteration, The International 10, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That delay was announced in April. Valve hasn't yet announced a new date. It's not clear if the tournament will even be taking place during 2020 at all. Valve said that it "can't yet commit" to a new date for The International 10 or the return of the Dota Pro Circuit, a series of events that determine who qualifies for The... |
| Dark web drug haven Empire Market has mysteriously disappeared Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:57 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Empire Market, one of the biggest dark web marketplaces, has been offline for three days, Bloomberg reports. It's unclear what has happened to the site's administrators, whose identities remain unknown. According to a cybersecurity expert interviewed by Bloomberg, there are typically two outcomes for marketplaces like Empire Market. Either the admins are arrested, or they steal users' deposits. Empire Market was popular for drug deals. It also offered fake documents, such as passports, and malware. After other sites, such as the Silk Road and AlphaBay, shut down, Empire Market was the most-trafficked dark web marketplace, Bloomberg reported. The goods on Empire Market were exchanged for cryptocurrency. In order to operate on a market... |
| Joe Budden is taking his podcast off Spotify because the company ‘is pillaging’ his audience Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:14 PM PDT  Joe Budden Joe Budden, one of Spotify's biggest exclusive podcasters, is leaving the platform. He and his show will no longer be exclusive to Spotify after September 23rd, he says in his most recent episode while also seemingly suggesting it might not be available on Spotify at all. "September 23rd, I cannot tell you where this podcast will be," he says. "But as it stands, I can tell you where it will not be, and that is Spotify." He takes the announcement as an opportunity to scorch Spotify and detail his history with the company, which, in the years since he signed his deal, has become a sizable competitor in the podcast field. He claims his show exceeded Spotify's audience reach expectations by 900 percent to the point that his listeners... |
| Even Google engineers are confused about Google’s privacy settings Posted: 26 Aug 2020 03:30 PM PDT  Image: Google Google's privacy settings don't just confuse its users — they confuse its employees too, according to internal documents unsealed in a lawsuit over Google's data collection. "The current UI feels like it is designed to make things possible, yet difficult enough that people won't figure it out," one Google employee said, according to the heavily redacted documents that were newly unsealed today. The lawsuit was originally filed by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in May; the new information in the unsealed documents was first reported on by The Arizona Mirror. "Even top-level Google employees do not understand under what... |
| Netflix’s Altered Carbon has been canceled after two seasons Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:52 PM PDT  Image: Netflix Netflix has canceled its adaptation of Altered Carbon after two seasons, according to Variety, marking the end of yet another big-budget adaptation for the streaming service. According to Deadline, the cancellation was decided back in April, and was made for the company's usual cost / benefit reasons. In other words, Altered Carbon's fate isn't apparently COVID-19 related — as has been the case with other recent Netflix cancellations, like The Society and I Am Not Okay With This, both of which had second season plans nixed "due to circumstances created by COVID," according to a Netflix statement at the time. The fact that Altered Carbon got the axe isn't too surprising,... |
| Sony opens registration for invite-only PlayStation 5 preorders Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:44 PM PDT  Sony has announced the latest step in its dragged out PlayStation 5 reveal, with the company opening online registration to possibly receive an invitation to be one of the first to pre-order the console directly from PlayStation. According to Sony's announcement, there will be a "limited quantity of PS5 consoles available for pre-order" this holiday season; the invitation program is a chance for existing PlayStation customers to get their shot at being able to order the upcoming console. As Sony's FAQ page notes, filling out the registration form does not guarantee an invite to be able to preorder the console, with invitations distributed based on "previous interests and PlayStation activities." |
| How Twitter detectives and citizen journalists identified the alleged Kenosha shooter Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:36 PM PDT  Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images A young man who allegedly killed two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin last night was identified on social media hours before charges were publicly revealed, as Twitter and YouTube users attempted to reconstruct the shootings that took place during a week of protests against police brutality. Kyle Rittenhouse was identified as a "fugitive from justice" today and will be charged with first-degree intentional homicide, according to the Associated Press. The news came after footage of his alleged murders had been amplified online by supporters of the protesters, as well as defenders of Rittenhouse. Digital investigations have identified (and frequently also misidentified) shooters after they've been taken into custody but before they've been... |
| Facebook chose not to act on militia complaints before Kenosha shooting Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:15 PM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge In the wake of an apparent double murder Tuesday night in Kenosha, Facebook has faced a wave of scrutiny over posts by a self-proclaimed militia group called Kenosha Guard, which issued a "call to arms" to in advance of the protest. Facebook took down Kenosha Guard's Facebook page Wednesday morning, identifying the posts as violating community standards. But while the accounts were ultimately removed, new evidence suggests the platform had ample warning about the account before the shooting brought the group to prominence. At least two separate Facebook users reported the account for inciting violence prior to the shooting, The Verge has learned. In each case, the group and its counter-protest event were examined by Facebook moderators... |
