| This is Sony’s Spatial Reality Display, and you can buy one for $5,000 in November Posted: 15 Oct 2020 06:00 PM PDT  Two days ago, I received a giant heavy metal wedge from Sony. The largest side contained a camera, and a 15.6-inch 4K screen. I plugged it into a powerful gaming computer, and fired up the first demo. A tiny, intricately detailed Volkswagen Atlas materialized in front of my face — and when I pressed a button, it floated right up out of the screen. A couple minutes later, I was watching a 4-inch tall anime girl dance her heart out inside Sony's contraption, tapping her feet atop a floor of hexagonal mirrors. It's the magic of stereoscopic 3D. The wedge is Sony's new Spatial Reality Display, and it's not remotely a new idea — it's just the industry's latest attempt to build a so-called "holographic display" for the content creators of the... |
| Posted: 15 Oct 2020 03:40 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge If you prefer buying older PlayStation games over the web or on mobile, you won't be able to do that for much longer. Sony is sending emails to PlayStation gamers that confirm a revamped digital storefront coming between October 21st and 26th, which will remove users' options to purchase games and DLC released initially on the PS3, PSP, and Vita from a mobile device or PC. Planète Vita originally reported the news last week, citing developer sources. The PlayStation web store will remove the option to purchase those games, and the mobile app's update will be available on October 28th. Users will still be allowed to make new purchases for PlayStation legacy titles, but they will have to purchase them directly from PS3, PSP, Vita, or PS4... |
| Your new Samsung smart TV will soon double as a Google Assistant microphone Posted: 15 Oct 2020 03:26 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google Assistant is now available on newer Samsung smart TVs in the US, the companies announced. The AI helper will be available on Samsung 2020 smart TV models, including the 2020 8K and 4K QLED models, the 2020 Crystal UHD TVs, 2020 Frame and Serif sets, and 2020 Sero and Terrace models. The update will be available in the US first and roll out to more countries soon, according to Google. Pressing down on the TV's remote control mic will activate Assistant, and users will be able to switch channels, open apps, and adjust the TV's volume with voice commands. The TVs already had voice command settings available that could be controlled with the mic on the remote, but you'll have to tell it you want to use Google Assistant rather than... |
| Twitter’s massive outage may be over, company says ‘no evidence’ of hack Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:58 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter has been experiencing an outage that began in the early evening on Thursday, with some users reporting problems sending tweets and refreshing their timelines starting shortly after 5:30PM ET.

| Go read about the dire working conditions for Ring’s call center employees in the Philippines Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:35 PM PDT  Photo by Dondi Tawatao/Getty Images Amazon extended its work-from-home policy into 2021 for corporate employees, but call center workers in the Philippines contracted by the company's Ring subsidiary continue to work in person with increased risk of COVID-19 infection, as detailed in a report for NBC News by Olivia Solon and April Glaser. Employees of Teleperformance — contracted by Ring in the Philippines — describe little to no support in making their workplace safer during the pandemic. The company is under increased scrutiny after photos of employees sleeping in its offices in Cebu City were released by the press. Solon and Glaser report that Teleperformance continues to downplay concerns even with new pressure to modify policies from worker organizations like BPO... |
| Facebook is accidentally locking some users out of their new Oculus headsets Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:07 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook says a "small number" of customers have been locked out of their new Oculus Quest 2 headsets, following a string of reports that buyers were unable to use the virtual reality headsets because their Facebook accounts were suspended. On Twitter, it urged users to contact Oculus if they had problems. As UploadVR reported yesterday, users complained that they had been suspended for unclear reasons while they were trying to set up the Quest 2. One poster on the Oculus subreddit, for instance, described getting banned after creating a Facebook page for the first time and merging it with an existing Oculus account. "I logged into Facebook's website to lock down my profile, as I had no intention of using the social media site more than... |
| Go read this hilarious story from the person who found Tony Abbott’s passport number Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:53 PM PDT  Photo by Don Arnold / WireImage On March 22nd, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott did something seemingly innocuous: he posted a picture of his boarding pass to Instagram. That post was the beginning of a convoluted six-month saga for hacker Alex Hope. In a blog post, Hope details how they were sent Abbott's post by a friend and asked if it would be possible to "hack this man" with only the information on the boarding pass. Upon realizing they were indeed able to find personal information, most notably Abbott's passport number, on the airline website, their task quickly devolved into a black hole of emails, phone calls, and frantic Google searches for definitions of cybercrimes.

| Google search is getting new AI tools to decipher your terrible spelling Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:10 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google detailed a host of new improvements at its "Search On" event that it will make to its foundational Google search service in the coming weeks and months. The changes are largely focused on using new AI and machine learning techniques to provide better search results for users. Chief among them: a new spell checking tool that Google promises will help identify even the most poorly spelled queries. According to Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's head of search, 15 percent of Google search queries each day are ones that Google has never seen before, meaning the company has to constantly work to improve its results. Part of that is because of poorly spelled queries. According to Cathy Edwards, VP engineering at Google, 1 in... |
| Judge in WeChat case appears unlikely to allow US ban to move forward Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:06 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A judge in San Francisco said Thursday she's not likely to lift a temporary block on the US government's attempts to ban WeChat. US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler responded to the Trump administration's request for a stay of her September 20th preliminary injunction, which prevents the government from halting new downloads of WeChat in the US and from blocking transactions related to the app. Beeler did not issue a ruling Thursday but said the government had not presented new evidence to persuade her that there were significant national security concerns with allowing WeChat to remain active in the US. Beeler said in her September 20th order that a group of WeChat users had shown "serious questions" about whether the ban would... |
| Google’s new ‘hum to search’ feature can figure out the song that’s stuck in your head Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:05 PM PDT  Google is adding a new "hum to search" feature to its search tools today that will let you hum (or whistle, or sing) the annoying song that's stuck in your head, and then use machine learning techniques to try to identify it. The new feature is available today in the Google app on both iOS and Android, or in Google Assistant — just ask Google "What's the song" or tap the newly added "search a song" button, and then hum your earworm. Google will then show you results based on how likely a match it thinks it is, after which you'll be able to tap results to listen to it (just like you would any other song that you looked up in Google search). Google says that the feature works by using its machine learning models to... |
