Microsoft hid the Xbox Series S in plain sight and nobody noticed

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 03:26 PM PDT

The Xbox Series S might have leaked earlier this week before being officially unveiled, but Microsoft was hiding it in plain sight months ago. Xbox chief Phil Spencer appeared in multiple interviews in July, ahead of Microsoft's Xbox games showcase, and he hid an Xbox Series S on the shelves behind him.

The official Xbox account revealed the elaborate prank today, and Spencer added that the Xbox Series S appeared in at least three YouTube video interviews during July. While it might sound surprising for an unannounced console to be hidden in videos, Microsoft has a habit of hiding secrets and codes as teasers ahead of its console announcements.

TikTok star Addison Rae Easterling has been cast as the lead role in a new, gender-swapped version of 1999 teen romantic comedy She's All That, called He's All That. Easterling, with over 60 million followers, is the second most popular TikTok user in the world (after Charli D'Amelio), but He's All That will mark her film debut.

The upcoming reboot is being produced by Miramax, Variety reports, which made the original film over 20 years ago, with R. Lee Fleming (the writer of the original) and producers Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay (who also worked on She's All That). Mark Waters, best known for directing Mean Girls and Freaky Friday and producing 500 Days of Summer, is set to direct.

Like the original She's All That, the remake...

Crysis Remastered will beat next-gen consoles to the punch with ray tracing on Xbox One and PS4

We already knew that Crysis Remastered would support ray tracing if you had the PC hardware to run it. However, ahead of the release on PC and current-gen consoles, Crytek announced this week that, for the first time, in this console generation, the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X will offer ray-tracing support — because it'll appear in the current-gen console versions of Crysis Remastered.

Crytek's CryEngine provides software-based ray tracing, allowing current-gen hardware to support the feature. Back in 2019, the game studio showed off the Neon Noir Tech demo, which, according to Crytek, was developed using a modified version of CryEngine 5.5. Software-based ray tracing isn't remotely new; most recently, Nvidia added the feature to GTX cards...

Microsoft Surface Duo teardown: an engineering marvel that’s a chore to repair

I don't think anyone expected an impressively thin gadget with two displays to be more repairable than single-screen smartphones, and iFixit's teardown of Microsoft's new Surface Duo confirms this is the case. The takeaway is that while the displays and rear glass can be swapped without too much stress, replacing anything else will be a tedious, risky process.

As part of the teardown process, iFixit got this very cool X-ray shot of the Surface Duo. The innards of the left half look close enough to an iPad or any modern tablet, but iFixit says the right side "looks like nothing we remember seeing before — it's almost a solid wall of circuit board, with a little window in the middle for the second battery." There's that engineering...

Microsoft snubs Apple’s olive branch to cloud gaming: ‘a bad experience for customers’

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 01:35 PM PDT

Apple issued new App Store rules earlier today, permitting game streaming services like xCloud or Stadia to exist on iOS or iPadOS with a big catch. Apple wants companies like Microsoft to individually submit their games as separate apps using its streaming tech. Microsoft and Google are free to create a "catalog"-style app that collects and links out to all of these individual apps as well.

Microsoft isn't impressed.

"This remains a bad experience for customers," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "Gamers want to jump directly into a game from their curated catalog within one app just like they do with movies or songs, and not be forced to download over 100 apps to play individual games from the cloud. We're...

Why ‘Cancel Netflix’ is trending

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 12:25 PM PDT

Groups of conservative provocateurs, QAnon supporters, and others on social media have jumped on the release of the French coming-of-age film Cuties and a trending "Cancel Netflix" hashtag to associate the company with pedophilia.

This isn't the first time that people have tried to cancel Netflix. Republicans tried it in 2018 following Netflix's confirmation that it had signed a multiyear deal with Barack and Michelle Obama to produce a series of titles. Earlier this year, people threatened to cancel Netflix over 365 Days, a movie that petitioners argued glorified sexual violence against women. And, at the same time that people are calling for others to cancel Netflix over Cuties, there's a petition from fans of shows like Jessica Jones,...

New Nest Thermostat hits FCC with 60GHz radar, hinting at Pixel 4-style Project Soli gestures

Google appears to have a new Nest Thermostat in the works, according to new FCC documentation. It could be equipped with Google's Project Soli radar motion controls, in what would be a first for the company's home products, as spotted by Droid Life.

There's very little to go by in the current crop of documents, but the new Nest Thermostat (model G4CVZ) does have an interesting addition: not only will it offer 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, it'll be equipped with a 60GHz radar transmitter, similar to the one already used by the Pixel 4 for its Motion Sense gesture controls.

That's particularly interesting, given that those Motion Sense features would actually make a lot of sense on a wall-mounted home thermostat. The ability for the...

A group of Democratic senators is calling on the telecom industry to lift their limits and fees associated with heightened broadband use for students in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In a letter addressed to the CEOs of telecom companies including AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and T-Mobile Friday, senators like Mark Warner (D-VA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Ron Wyden (D-OR) requested that the telecoms temporarily suspend data caps, overage fees, and throttling as students across the country begin remote schooling.

"We have heard from public schools who express appreciation for internet service options that enable remote learning, but are also concerned with ongoing data limitations and continued lack of service for many...

Motorola has quietly released its new budget phone, the Moto G9 Plus, in Brazil. As leaks previously mentioned, the new smartphone includes a 6.81-inch display screen, a quad-camera setup on the phone's back, plus a 5,000mAh battery.

The Moto G9 Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G — the same chip used by Google's recently released Google Pixel 4A — plus 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. On the front of the screen, the Moto G9's 6.81-inch screen includes a 1080p display with a 16-megapixel front hole-punch camera located on the screen's upper-left side. The quad-camera setup on the back includes a 64-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
