| Amazon says 19,816 workers have contracted COVID-19 Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:11 PM PDT  Photo by Spencer Platt / Getty Images 1.44 percent of Amazon's front-line employees, or 19,816 workers, have tested positive or been "presumed positive for COVID-19," Amazon said in a blog post published Thursday. The company says it employs 1,372,000 front-line employees across both Amazon and Whole Foods. The blog marks the first time Amazon has disclosed how many of its workers have contracted COVID-19, and comes after months of demands for increased transparency from workers, governments, and Amazon investors. Amazon warehouse workers have reportedly even worked amongst themselves to attempt to determine how many of their colleagues have contracted the disease. The disclosure is also notable following comments from Amazon senior vice president of worldwide operations... |
| 10 things we learned about Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Nintendo’s mixed reality racer Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:00 PM PDT  One of Nintendo's more intriguing upcoming games is Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. Developed by Velan Studios, it's a title that follows the likes of Labo and Pokémon Go, attempting to take Nintendo's playful experiences and translate them into the real world. In this case, Home Circuit is both a game you play on a Switch and a remote control racer that will take over your living room. There's a lot going on, and I recently had a chance for a hands-off demo of the game, where I learned a few interesting tidbits about what the experience will be like. Here's what you need to know ahead of Home Circuit's launch on October 16th. What you get in the boxThe $99.99 package comes in two varieties — Mario or Luigi — though both offer the same... |
| Sega’s Game Gear Micro is visibly smaller than the Dreamcast’s VMU Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:13 PM PDT  I can't put it better than SEGAbits: "Famitsu magazine took the photo we all wanted to see." The photo is of Sega's upcoming Game Gear Micro — perhaps the most ridiculous miniature gaming nostalgia bomb ever announced by virtue of the exorbitant price you'll pay to carry just four games at a time — and the Dreamcast's infamous VMU, also known as the unholy spawn of a PlayStation memory card and the original Nintendo Game Boy.
Truth be told, I didn't know I needed to see this photo until I saw it, because I never could have imagined the glory that I now behold. Or maybe just because I didn't do the math. It also... |
| Google’s Stadia Controller now supports USB-C headsets and headphones Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:55 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Google's Stadia controller now has support for USB-C audio devices when playing on a Chromecast or via a web browser. That gives you an easy way to add headphones and a microphone, since you can simply plug in a set of wired USB-C earbuds like the Google's Pixel USB-C earbuds, gaming headset, the Asus ROG Delta, or even the wireless SteelSeries Arctis 1 gaming headset with its wireless USB-C adapter (It works, a Redditor confirms.) It's nice that Stadia players have another audio option beyond the built-in 3.5mm jack, and it's cool and unusual for any game controller to offer USB-C audio, but it still took almost a year for Google to add it after promising the feature was coming. Wireless USB-C audio is now working! from ... |
| Verizon’s LTE-based home internet is now in 48 US states, and it could be your last resort Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:56 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Verizon's 4G LTE-based home broadband service targeting rural communities is now available in 48 states, and it might be worth a look if it's available in your area. The service, called "LTE Home Internet," offers unlimited data, no data usage caps, and typical download speeds of 25Mbps with peak speeds of 50Mbps. But it's only available in "parts" of 189 markets, and only in areas where the company doesn't already offer other broadband options such as Fios or its in-home 5G service. LTE Home Internet starts at $40, but that's only if you're already on a monthly Verizon wireless plan that costs $30 or more. Those who don't have an eligible Verizon wireless plan will instead pay $60 per month for LTE Home Internet. And the prices of both... |
| Conservative activist Jacob Wohl charged with running election robocall scheme Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:53 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Jacob Wohl, a conservative activist known for his largely bumbling attempts to stage political scandals, has been charged with running a robocalling scheme to spread false election information. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed four felony charges today against Wohl and his partner Jack Burkman. They're accused of targeting Detroit residents with calls that discouraged voting, including false claims that mail-in ballots would let health agencies "track people for mandatory vaccines." Wohl and Burkman allegedly targeted voters in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois, making a total of around 85,000 calls in August. The calls claimed to come from a group called "Project 1599, a civil rights organization founded by... |
| Google will give you the new Chromecast for free if you pay for one month of YouTube TV Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:22 PM PDT  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Google just announced a new Chromecast yesterday, and the company is already offering a good deal on one — all you have to do is sign up for YouTube TV and pay for one month of the service. If you want to take advantage of the deal, you should be able to access it here. There are a few caveats, however. You can only take advantage of this if you're a first-time YouTube TV subscriber, according to the deal's terms. You then have to make a payment toward your YouTube TV subscription between October 15th and December 31st in order to receive the offer for the free Chromecast. And the deal is only available in the US. You should also know that paying $64.99 for one month of YouTube TV costs more than just buying the new Chromecast on its own... |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:11 PM PDT  Photo by Michele Doying / The Verge Facebook moderators employed by third-party contracting firm Accenture and based in Austin, Texas are being forced to return to the office on October 12th, The Verge has learned. Employees, almost all of whom are contractors, were instructed of the new policy at a company-wide town hall meeting today, say multiple people familiar with Accenture's plans. Accenture, which has allowed its workforce of hundreds of moderators to work from home since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has not given the employees a reason for why they must return to the office. Accenture did not take questions at the town hall meeting, telling concerned employees that it would schedule a second call to answer COVID-specific questions regarding matters like... |
| The UK’s health system plans to slash greenhouse gas emissions Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:06 PM PDT  Photo by Victoria Jones/PA Images via Getty Images The UK's National Health Service released a sweeping plan today to become the first national health system to eliminate nearly all of its planet-heating greenhouse gases. By 2040, it plans to gut all of the emissions it's directly and indirectly responsible for. That includes pollution from its facilities, electricity use, vehicles, and supply chains for medicines and medical devices. Health care is responsible for a hefty chunk of greenhouse gases. The National Health Service pumps out between four to five percent of England's carbon emissions. Globally, the health care sectors in 36 countries with the largest economies accounted for more than 4 percent... |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 02:57 PM PDT  If you're not the inbox zero type — and I'm definitely not — you might sometimes rely on Gmail's "Select all conversations that match this search" option to read, archive, or delete hundreds or thousands of messages at once. Except we can't do that anymore, and neither can a number of angry Gmail users we've spotted. The option has up and disappeared. Google accidentally removed it, the company confirms to The Verge.
