| Portland passes strongest facial recognition ban in the US Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:41 PM PDT  Photo by: Visions of America/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images The Portland City Council has passed the toughest facial recognition ban in the US, blocking both public and private use of the technology. Other cities such as Boston, San Francisco, and Oakland have passed laws barring public institutions from using facial recognition, but Portland is the first to prohibit private use. The ban passed unanimously, according to CNET, CNN, and OneZero. The new law is actually established as two ordinances. The one prohibiting public use of facial recognition (PDF here) is now in effect, and city bureaus must complete an assessment of their facial recognition usage within 90 days. The ordinance prohibiting private use (PDF here) takes effect on January 1st, 2021. |
| Xbox Game Pass for PC is doubling its price next week Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:26 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Alongside an influx of next-gen console news, Microsoft also confirmed today that it will raise its pricing for Xbox Game Pass for PC from $4.99 per month to $9.99 a month starting on September 17th. Existing members on the introductory price will still pay the same rate through the next billing cycle, so if you subscribe before September 17th, Microsoft will not change the price on you abruptly.
A price increase for any subscription service is never fun, but even at $9.99 a... |
| A year later, Amazon’s voice assistant alliance still hasn’t attracted any of its rivals Posted: 09 Sep 2020 05:04 PM PDT  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Last September, Amazon announced a voice assistant alliance ahead of its yearly fall event with the goal to ensure smart devices are compatible with multiple digital assistants concurrently. Nearly a year later, the coalition has over 70 companies pledging support, including Facebook, Garmin, and Xiaomi, which recently joined. Yet, Amazon's biggest rivals in the voice assistant space — Apple, Google, and Samsung — have yet to join. Amazon's Voice Interoperability Initiative's goal is to have companies create smart devices that support multiple voice assistants like Alexa or Cortana concurrently. But without Apple, Google, and Samsung's voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant, and Bixby), the biggest competitors to Alexa, the idea feels... |
| The Lucid Air is a luxury electric sedan with the speed and power to rival Tesla Posted: 09 Sep 2020 04:00 PM PDT  517 miles of range, 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and a price tag that starts at $80,000 |
| Google’s Waze lays off 5 percent of its workforce, closes offices in Asia and Latin America Posted: 09 Sep 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Waze, the Google-owned navigation and mapping service, will lay off 5 percent of its global workforce, or about 30 people out of 555 total employees, the company's CEO said in an email to employees. Waze will also close several of its offices in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions as it seeks to refocus its business on certain markets. Waze said the layoffs were partly due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has emptied roadways around the world and sent many cities into lockdown. As shelter-in-place and working from home become the new norm, fewer people are using Waze for their daily navigation needs. Fewer eyeballs on the app means less advertising revenue for the company. Waze, which was acquired by Google in 2013 for a... |
| Google’s Fundo lets creators get paid by hosting virtual meet-and-greets Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:57 PM PDT  Google's Fundo — a service that allows creators to host paid, ticketed virtual meet-and-greet events — is expanding from a limited test into a full-fledged product that anyone can use starting today. Developed by Google's Area 120 incubator, Fundo (which is not the name of an adorable floppy-eared dog) was launched in a limited beta last summer for several hundred "trusted testers," according to Variety. It's now available for anyone to use. Fundo (also not a wacky new artificial cheese product) was originally meant as a virtual photo booth-style service. Fans could wait in a digital line, chat briefly with the celebrity or creator, and get "photos" with them, just like a real-life meet-and-greet. The service provides creators with an... |
| White House reportedly moves to eliminate COVID-19 security theater at airports Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:46 PM PDT  Photo by Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/Getty Images International travelers arriving in the United States will reportedly no longer go through enhanced health screenings at the airport. The planned change in policy, first reported by Yahoo News, is expected to go into effect on September 14th. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been screening travelers coming into the US from certain countries since January when it started flagging anyone coming from or through Wuhan, China. The screening involves a temperature check and symptom check. Travelers are also expected to provide information that could be used for contact tracing in the event they were exposed to someone with COVID-19. The White House ordered the change in practice, according to Yahoo News. US Customs... |
| Verizon will let you watch NFL games for free with three of your friends Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:33 PM PDT  Photo by Douglas P. DeFelice/Getty Images The 2020 NFL season kicks off tomorrow, despite the ominous threat of COVID-19 lurking around just about every corner. (It remains to be seen whether the precautions the league has been taking will be effective.) For fans who have been practicing social distancing, the season's beginning might feel bittersweet: it's great that football is back, but it does suck to not be able to safely watch games with your pals in person. But that doesn't mean you have to watch 'em alone. Verizon is launching a new feature on its Yahoo Sports app, called Watch Together, which will let you live-stream NFL games with up to three of your friends over video chat. You won't need to be a Verizon customer to watch games for free, but you will need to watch on... |
| AMD’s next-generation Zen 3 CPUs and Radeon RX 6000 ‘Big Navi’ GPU will be revealed next month Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:03 PM PDT  Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Last week, Nvidia unveiled the $699 RTX 3080, which promises double the performance of the RTX 2080 for the same price when it releases next Thursday. Perhaps you're already sold on that upgrade, but there is one reason you might want to wait: AMD will likely answer with its own competitor to the RTX 3000 series on October 28th. AMD has confirmed that its new line of GPUs is part of the Radeon RX 6000 series, which uses AMD's new RDNA 2 architecture that includes real-time, hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading. The Radeon RX 6000 series also shares the same graphics architecture with the PS5 as well as the next-gen Xbox consoles, Series S and Series X, which are set to release on November 10th.

| Twitch brings custom esports competitions to streamers in closed beta Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat. Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community. While the feature is in closed beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Twitch Rivals competitors (along with some other Twitch streamers) will have access starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you're interested in trying out Versus for yourself. Obviously, this isn't Twitch's first foray into esports.... |
