Sony announces $1,799 A7C compact full-frame mirrorless camera

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:00 PM PDT

Sony has announced the A7C, a new camera that is by far the smallest model yet in its Alpha range of full-frame mirrorless cameras. The A7C looks more like one of Sony's APS-C models like the A6400 than an A7, adopting a more compact body with the electronic viewfinder on the top left corner of the camera's back panel, rangefinder-style.

The A7C measures 124.0mm x 71.1mm x 59.7mm and weighs 509g. It has a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor with in-body image stabilization and a standard ISO range of up to 51,200. It can shoot up to 10fps with autoexposure, and it's capable of 4K/30fps or 1080p/120fps video, both at up to 100Mbps. The body has USB-C, Wi-Fi, and a vari-angle 3-inch 921,000-dot LCD.

Sony has developed a new kit...

Amazon rebrands FreeTime to Amazon Kids to make the service less confusing

Amazon debuted FreeTime back in 2012 as a way for kids to enjoy and experience tech and for parents to easily monitor their kids' usage. Yet, the name (at least to me) sounds more like a service to help people spend less time on their electronic devices. To fix this, Amazon is renaming FreeTime to "Amazon Kids" and FreeTime Unlimited to "Amazon Kids Plus."

Alongside the updated naming scheme, Amazon is also giving the service a new look. In the next few weeks, Amazon will roll out a new Amazon Kids home screen, recommended for kids ages eight and up, to experience what a "grown-up tablet" feels like by changing the layout to look more like a traditional tablet. The service previously had a simplified interface where kids could swipe...

LG teases an extendable slide-out display for its next Explorer Project phone

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:53 PM PDT

LG's official reveal of its twisting Wing smartphone had a Marvel-esque post-credit scene: a teaser of the next phone in its new "Explorer Project" range, which appears to have an expandable, slide-out display.

The clip, as spotted by CNET, doesn't offer a lot of information, just a brief shot of the side of the phone expanding out and sliding back before it lights up and a "hold your breath" catchphrase appears followed by the LG Explorer Project logo. But the message is clear: LG is at least thinking about a sliding display for a future device.

LG's Explorer Project — which it introduced with the similar wild-looking Wing — is designed to offer a place for the company to explore ways to "breathe new life into what...

Sen. Hawley calls for US to reject Oracle’s TikTok deal

Sen. Josh Hawley is publicly calling on the Treasury Department to reject Oracle's proposed partnership with TikTok, saying the arrangement is unacceptable on national security grounds.

The deal is currently awaiting a recommendation from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), but it has received praise from Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who chairs the committee. In an open letter to Mnuchin, Hawley calls on the secretary to take a more skeptical look at the proposal.

"CFIUS should promptly reject any Oracle-ByteDance collaboration, and send the ball back to ByteDance's court so that the company can come up with a more acceptable solution," Hawley writes. "ByteDance can still pursue a full sale of TikTok,...

AMD reveals its Radeon RX 6000 GPU design on Twitter — and in Fortnite

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:25 PM PDT

AMD's last batch of new graphics cards, the midrange Radeon RX 5700 series, didn't wow with their designs or high-end performance — but the new Radeon RX 6000 looks like it could actually be the long-awaited answer to Nvidia's flagship graphics cards.

When I say "looks like," I mean it quite literally, though: AMD revealed the design of its new card on Twitter today, and its triple-fan, giant shroud, and twin 8-pin power connectors show it's visually ready to play the part.

Facebook ignored blatant political manipulation around the world, claims former data scientist

A fired Facebook data scientist has written a 6,600-word memo condemning the company for ignoring evidence the platform was wielded to sway public opinion and manipulate elections around the world, according to a report from BuzzFeed News, which obtained a copy of the memo. The data scientist, Sophie Zhang, was fired earlier this month and posted the memo on her final day, the report reads.

Zhang implies she was fired after bringing her concerns to upper management and being told to stop focusing on issues beyond the scope of her role, which involved analyzing the platform to identity "coordinated inauthentic behavior," Facebook's phrase for bot networks and other malicious activity with ulterior motives like influencing election...

Microsoft’s underwater server experiment resurfaces after two years

Back in 2018, Microsoft sunk an entire data center to the bottom of the Scottish sea, plunging 864 servers and 27.6 petabytes of storage 117 feet deep in the ocean. Today, the company has reported that its latest experiment was a success, revealing findings that show that the idea of an underwater data center is actually a pretty good one.

On the surface, throwing an entire data center to the bottom of the ocean may seem strange, but Microsoft's Project Natick team hypothesized that placing would result in more reliable and energy-efficient data centers.

On land, data centers run into issues like corrosion from oxygen and humidity and controlling shifts in temperatures. But in a water-tight environment with tight temperature control,...
