| Jony Ive is bringing his design talents to... Airbnb Posted: 21 Oct 2020 05:58 PM PDT  I'm not going to pretend it makes obvious sense, but famed former Apple designer Jony Ive and his firm LoveFrom will soon be working for Airbnb. Yes, the company that primarily makes it easy for you to rent someone else's home needs design help, and they're going to the man best known for turning consumer tech on its head — as well as the occasional all-diamond diamond ring, a Christmas tree that is actually just a tree, and a magazine cover with no content. So if you've been been put off renting one of Airbnb's recently introduced, exorbitantly priced Luxe accommodations because they have too many furnishings, perhaps this is just the ticket? Dude loves minimalism. Airbnb is calling the deal a "special... |
| Iran and Russia obtained US voter registration data, officials say Posted: 21 Oct 2020 05:19 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge National security officials announced Wednesday that Iran and Russia obtained voter registration information that could support efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. The officials also confirmed that Iran sent threatening emails designed to intimidate voters. "Iran and Russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our election. Some voter registration information has been obtained by Iran and separately by Russia," Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said in a press conference Wednesday evening. "This data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to convey misinformation." Voter registration information is often publicly... |
| Stunning images show NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft stirring up rocks on an asteroid Posted: 21 Oct 2020 04:07 PM PDT  NASA shared astonishing images of its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft touching an asteroid yesterday, revealing how the vehicle stirred up rocks and debris on the object's surface when it made contact. The goal of the tap was to collect a sample of material from the asteroid, but the engineers behind the spacecraft say they won't for sure if they collected anything until this weekend, when they spin the vehicle and measure how much material is inside. However, the OSIRIS-REx team feels confident that they got something. "Bottom line is from analysis of the images that we've gotten down so far, is that the sampling event went really well, as good as we could have imagined it... |
| Facebook Dating launches in Europe after lengthy delay Posted: 21 Oct 2020 04:00 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook Dating, the social network's competitor to Tinder and other dating apps, launches today in Europe after a long delay from its planned Valentine's Day debut. The dating service offers the same features in Europe as it does in the US, using the existing profile you've created on Facebook to find potential matches. Facebook tailors these matches with your preferences, Facebook activity, and, if you opt in, groups and events. While the service still only appears as a tab in Facebook's mobile app, it's deeply integrated with the rest of the social giant's products. Your profile can pull stories and photos from Instagram, you can initiate Messenger... |
| Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ software is starting to roll out to select customers Posted: 21 Oct 2020 03:47 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Tesla sent out the first "Full Self-Driving" beta software update to a select group of customers this week, CEO Elon Musk tweeted Tuesday. On an earnings call Wednesday, Musk said more Tesla owners would get the update as the weeks progress, with the goal of a "wide release" by the end of the year. Only those customers in Tesla's Early Access Program will receive the software update, that will enable drivers to access Autopilot's partially automated driver assist system on city streets. The early access program is used as a testing platform to help iron out software bugs.
Musk said that Tesla was approaching... |
| Eric Schmidt, who bought YouTube for a premium, thinks social networks are ‘amplifiers for idiots’ Posted: 21 Oct 2020 03:01 PM PDT  Photo by Michael Kovac / Getty Images The Verge used to have a fine tradition of cataloging all of the times when Eric Schmidt stuck his foot in his mouth, and today's feels like a worthy addition: the former Google CEO and executive chairman has decided that social networks are "amplifiers for idiots." The fuller quote, according to Bloomberg: "The context of social networks serving as amplifiers for idiots and crazy people is not what we intended." Without knowing who "we" refers to, you might think he's talking about how the entire tech industry has failed to keep sites like Facebook and Twitter from creating echo chambers and polarizing politics around the world (though some argue we can't blame social networks alone). He's certainly a member of the tech elite, one who... |
| Artists are irked by Twitter’s change to retweets Posted: 21 Oct 2020 02:46 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Artists on Twitter have a request: stop quote-tweeting their work. It's all the more pressing now that Twitter has, temporarily at least, changed its retweet system to encourage users to quote tweets and add their own words on top, rather than simply boost someone else's message. Artists say quote tweets take attention away from their profiles, making it harder for them to be discovered, while someone else gets the glory. "When you're quote tweeting an artist, it's almost like saying 'I feel like what I have to say about this piece is more important than the actual piece,'" RadiantG, an artist, journalist, and indie game developer, told The Verge. Twitter made the change yesterday as part of an effort to "encourage more thoughtful... |
| Jared Leto’s Joker is joining Zack Snyder’s Justice League director’s cut Posted: 21 Oct 2020 02:32 PM PDT  Just when we thought the drama surrounding Zack Snyder's Justice League couldn't get any weirder, it seems Jared Leto's.... controversial take on the Joker will be appearing in the director's cut of the 2017 superhero team-up when it hits HBO Max next year. Leto, who infamously played the role of the Batman villain in 2016's Suicide Squad, is reportedly joining the ongoing reshoots for the new Justice League cut, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's not entirely clear what role Leto's Joker will play in the re-edited film. Despite the controversy over Leto's edgy interpretation of the villain, the character has only had a minor role (at best) in the live-action DC films. Leto himself has only appeared in a few scenes in Suicide... |
| Exclusive: Wisconsin report confirms Foxconn’s so-called LCD factory isn’t real Posted: 21 Oct 2020 02:01 PM PDT A state report on Foxconn's Wisconsin factory depicts a project gone far off course. The report, issued this month by Wisconsin's Division of Executive Budget and Finance and obtained through a records request, confirms that the company has not built the enormous Gen 10.5 LCD factory specified in its contract. It also says that the building the company claims is a smaller Gen 6 LCD factory shows no signs of manufacturing LCDs in the foreseeable future and "may be better suited for demonstration purposes." The report notes that Foxconn received a permit to use its so-called "Fab" for storage, which The Verge first reported this week. Furthermore, according to an industry expert consulted by the state, Foxconn has not ordered the equipment... |
| Ubisoft Connect adding crossplay, cross-saves to Watch Dogs: Legion and more Posted: 21 Oct 2020 01:29 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Ubisoft is merging its loyalty program, Ubisoft Club, and desktop app Uplay into Ubisoft Connect, the developer announced. In addition to a rewards program, it will introduce crossplay and cross-progression in games such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion. The new hub will be available for free, but it requires a Ubisoft account.
