| Twitter blocked Trump campaign account from tweeting over COVID-19 misinformation Posted: 05 Aug 2020 06:44 PM PDT  Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images Twitter said it would prevent President Trump's @TeamTrump campaign account from tweeting until it removed a tweet that violates Twitter's rules on COVID-19 misinformation, the company confirmed to The Verge Wednesday evening. However, it appears that @TeamTrump has removed the tweet in violation of the rules, as it has tweeted again several times this evening. The tweet in dispute, according to The Washington Post, was a clip of an interview Trump gave to Fox News where he falsely claimed that children are "almost immune" to COVID-19. If you navigate directly to the tweet as of this writing, you'll see a notice saying that the tweet "is no longer available" because it violated Twitter's rules. President Trump had also linked to the... |
| YouTube prank stars Stokes Twins charged with felony after fake bank robbery video Posted: 05 Aug 2020 05:05 PM PDT  Photo credit should read CHRIS DELMAS/AFP via Getty Images Alan and Alex Stokes, 23-year-old twin brothers known best for posting prank videos to YouTube under their channel Stokes Twins, have each been charged with a felony related to a fake bank robbery, the aftermath of which the brothers recorded and posted to YouTube last October, according to the Orange County district attorney's office (via The Hollywood Reporter.) As part of the prank, the two brothers falsely presented themselves as criminals to an Uber driver and other random bystanders, who they then implored to give them clothes, rides, and other forms of assistance in a way that South California authorities say broke the law. "These were not pranks. These are crimes that could have resulted in someone getting seriously injured or... |
| The US will pay up to $10 million if you can ID a foreign election hacker Posted: 05 Aug 2020 04:46 PM PDT  Image: US Department of State The 2020 US presidential election is less than 100 days away, and in an effort to prevent the foreign election interference that played a role in the 2016 election, the US Department of State announced today that it's offering up to $10 million for any information that can identify someone who's been meddling in a US election. Specifically, the State Department is offering the reward for "information leading to the identification or location of any person who works with or for a foreign government for the purpose of interfering with U.S. elections through certain illegal cyber activities." As November draws near, foreign interference is reportedly already... |
| The FBI raided Jake Paul’s home as part of an investigation into a mall ‘riot’ Posted: 05 Aug 2020 04:32 PM PDT  Photo by Michael Reaves / Getty Images The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the California home of YouTube star Jake Paul this morning, according to TMZ and CBSLA. Agents removed several objects that looked like firearms from Paul's home, ABC7 reported. The bureau is investigating "allegations of criminal acts" surrounding an incident at an Arizona mall in May, a spokesperson for the FBI's Phoenix office told The Verge. A second location, in Las Vegas, Nevada, was also raided today in connection with the investigation. TMZ says the home is owned by Arman Izadi, a friend of Paul who was also connected to the incident at the mall. Police in Scottsdale, Arizona previously called the incident in the mall a "riot." The FBI appears to have taken over the investigation into... |
| Audi drops E-Tron price by nearly $9,000 and ups the range by 18 miles Posted: 05 Aug 2020 04:29 PM PDT  The 2021 Audi E-Tron, the company's first all-electric car, will start at nearly $9,000 less than the current version and will get a range bump of 18 miles — bringing its total EPA-estimated range to 222 miles on a full battery pack. The starting MSRP is dropping thanks to a new base version of the E-Tron SUV that will now start at $65,900, which is down $8,900 from the current $74,800 price tag. There are some sacrifices, of course. The company's "Matrix" LED headlights (which aren't available in the US to begin with) aren't included with the base model, and neither is the Bang & Olufsen sound system. Audi will sell more fully-loaded versions of the 2021 E-Tron that start as high as $79,100. |
| Facebook removes Trump post for falsely claiming children are ‘almost immune’ to COVID-19 Posted: 05 Aug 2020 03:26 PM PDT  Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images Facebook has removed a post posted by President Donald Trump's account for violations of its misinformation policy, the company confirmed to The Verge. The video posted was of a Trump interview with Fox News' Fox & Friends program, in which the president claimed children are "almost immune" to COVID-19, which is false. The interview also included Trump saying COVID-19 "is going to go away," and that his view is that "schools should open" because "this it will go away like things go away." A recent study conduced by infectious disease experts at Children's Hospital of Chicago found that children younger than five can carry the virus at levels far higher than adults, although there is still debate over whether children can pass COVID-19 to... |
| Etsy helped sell $346 million worth of homemade masks Posted: 05 Aug 2020 03:21 PM PDT  It's starting to seem like Etsy only sells two kinds of products: masks, and everything else. The handmade and vintage product marketplace just released its Q2 earnings report, and the company says it helped sell $346 million worth of homemade masks during the pandemic, accounting for 14 percent of all sales across small sellers on the platform. 4 million people came to Etsy for masks alone, buying nothing else, and 112,000 different sellers made money by selling those homemade masks on the platform. If "masks" were listed as their own product category in Etsy's financial results, they'd rank third on the entire site: they're not quite as big as the $740 million worth of home goods or the $362 million worth of jewelry... |
| Microsoft cuts xCloud iOS testing early as its future on Apple devices remains unclear Posted: 05 Aug 2020 03:17 PM PDT  Microsoft has ended its xCloud game streaming test for iOS devices today. The software giant had been testing xCloud on iOS in a very limited way over the past few months, but made it clear the service would only be launching on Android earlier this week. Microsoft had informed xCloud testers that the preview would end on September 11th, but only the Android preview will continue until next month. "Our Project xCloud preview TestFlight period has ended on iOS and we are focused on delivering cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to Android customers beginning September 15," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "It's our ambition to scale cloud gaming through Xbox Game Pass available on all devices." M... |
| California labor commissioner sues Uber and Lyft for alleged wage theft Posted: 05 Aug 2020 02:30 PM PDT  Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images Uber and Lyft are committing wage theft by misclassifying drivers as independent contractors, California's labor commissioner alleges in separate lawsuits against the companies. The classification of drivers as freelance workers has deprived them of "a host of legal protections in violation of California labor law," the lawsuits say. "The Uber and Lyft business model rests on the misclassification of drivers as independent contractors," said California Labor Commissioner Lilia García-Brower in a statement. "This leaves workers without protections such as paid sick leave and reimbursement of drivers' expenses, as well as overtime and minimum wages." The pair of lawsuits are the latest legal challenges against Uber and Lyft in California,... |
| Intel’s own website leaks Tiger Lake CPU event happening in early September Posted: 05 Aug 2020 01:24 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A few weeks ago, Intel teased that "something big" is happening on September 2nd. Now, thanks to the event calendar on the company's own investor relations site (and eagle-eyed Twitter user @SteakisGood for spotting it), we have confirmation that this is when Intel plans to talk more about its 10nm 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs, the ones featuring its anticipated Xe graphics. Acer has already promised machines that feature the new processor, so perhaps we'll hear more about OEM support. Another notable date on the calendar is even sooner. Next week, on August 13th, Intel is hosting an event called "Updates from our Chief Architect, Raja Koduri." We suspect the company will be providing more details about its first discrete GPU, the DG1, w... |
