| Posted: 23 Oct 2020 05:19 PM PDT  Samsung Samsung would like you to believe its new 85-inch Interactive Display can bridge the gap between students in the classroom and students studying at home, now that blended-learning is the new normal across the country. In reality, it's just a slightly bigger digital whiteboard — but assuming it doesn't cost too much, the tweaked vision does sound intriguing. Now that COVID-19 has swept the country, some students are huddling around tiny Chromebook screens at home while others stay in class, and Samsung's internet-connected digital whiteboard promises to let students and teachers collaborate with each other, whether they're in that classroom drawing on the board or adding to it in real-time from their laptop at home. The goal here isn't to... |
| NASA’s OSIRIS-REx was so good at grabbing asteroid rocks that they’re overflowing Posted: 23 Oct 2020 04:32 PM PDT  The end of OSIRIS-REx's sample collector, showing asteroid sample leaking out into space | Image: NASA NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft did its job a little too well on Tuesday, when it tried to scoop up a handful of rocks from an asteroid named Bennu more than 200 million miles from Earth. The vehicle actually grabbed too much material with its robotic arm, jamming the lid at the end of the arm open — and letting part of the asteroid sample escape out into space. "We were almost a victim of our own success here," said Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator for the OSIRIS-REx mission at the University of Arizona, in a press conference. OSIRIS-REx's mission is to bring a sample of asteroid material back to Earth so that scientists can study the rocks in a lab. But because OSIRIS-REx bit off more than it could chew, its mission team is... |
| Facebook wants the NYU Ad Observatory to quit collecting data about its ad targeting Posted: 23 Oct 2020 04:29 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook wants a New York University research project to stop collecting data about the social platform's political ad-targeting, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Ad Observatory, a project of NYU's engineering school with more than 6,000 volunteers, uses its AdObserver browser extension to scrape data from political ads shown on Facebook. But Facebook says the program is violates its terms of service, which bar scraping. A Facebook official sent a letter to the Ad Observatory researchers October 16th, saying that "scraping tools, no matter how well-intentioned, are not a permissible means of collecting information from us." The letter also threatened further enforcement action if the project did not shut down and delete the data... |
| Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:50 PM PDT  Photo by Mandel Ngan-Pool/Getty Images Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on November 17th. "The hearing will focus on the platforms' censorship and suppression of New York Post articles and provide a valuable opportunity to review the companies' handling of the 2020 election," according to a press release. Last week, the New York Post published a story claiming that Hunter Biden introduced his father, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, to an executive at the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Reporters at other publications disputed the allegations in the story, and Facebook and Twitter both took action to restrict the story from spreading. Facebook reduced the story's reach and said it was... |
| Judge again blocks Trump administration push to ban WeChat in the US Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:17 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A judge in California has rejected a request from the Department of Justice to reverse a previous decision allowing WeChat to remain active in US app stores. US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler said new evidence the government presented did not change her opinion about the messaging app, owned by Chinese company Tencent app. WeChat will remain active in US app stores for the time being. "The record does not support the conclusion that the government has 'narrowly tailored' the prohibited transactions to protect its national-security interests," Beeler wrote in her decision. The evidence "supports the conclusion that the restrictions 'burden substantially more speech than is necessary to further the government's legitimate interests.'"... |
| Among Us developers scramble to block massive ‘Eris Loris’ spam attack Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:44 PM PDT  Image: InnerSloth The developer of Among Us, a social intuition murder mystery game that's fast become one of the most popular multiplayer titles of the year, is currently battling against a particularly pernicious spam attack. The spam is promoting a mysterious online handle, "Eris Loris," and it became bad enough that Among Us studio InnerSloth had to perform emergency maintenance starting late last night. Hacking and other forms of cheating in Among Us has grown considerably since the game emerged as a popular online pastime during the pandemic this past summer, according to a report from Kotaku. And Among Us has only grabbed more of the spotlight just these past few days, following a hugely successful Twitch stream from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... |
| Where to buy refurbished products Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:10 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Buying a refurbished device rather than one that's brand-new can save you a ton of money. However, these products don't usually get the spotlight from retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, or B&H Photo. You also won't find them sitting on the homepage of Apple, Google, Nintendo, Sonos, or Olympus, to name a few. However, that doesn't mean you can't find refurbs on these sites. First, a quick description of what "refurbished" means. If it has been refurbished, that likely means the product was either broken or roughed up enough to warrant a repair. It could also mean that whoever bought it simply decided they didn't want it and returned it to the store. The definition of what makes for a refurbished product varies depending on the seller,... |
| How to buy refurbished gadgets Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:10 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Buying a refurbished tech product will save you money compared to buying it new. It also gives a device a second life instead of sending it off to be recycled. And especially during these times when demand is high for all kinds of tech, buying refurbished is sometimes the only way to get your hands on a product when retail channels are strained or just completely out of new merchandise. Those are all good things — yet "refurbished" is still a loaded word for a lot of people. New means new, a product that nobody else has used. On the other hand, buying something refurbished can be a gamble, despite the fact that the product is probably more affordable. If it has been... |
| Fortnite’s latest Halloween mode turns you into a killer ghost Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:23 PM PDT  A Fortnite player fighting the new Fortnitemares ghosts. | Image: Epic Games Fortnite kicked off its annual "Fortnitemares" Halloween event this week, and this year, you get to play as a killer ghost. In this year's Fortnitemares mode, the Fortnite island is packed with spooky touches — a foreboding fog can hang over the island, houses have Halloween decorations, and I've even found a witch's hut surrounded by rideable brooms. But the real twist in Fortnitemares happens when you die: after your untimely demise, you're returned to the island as a ghost so you can hunt — and troll — the surviving humans. As a ghost, you can consume materials, health items, guns, and even the Marvel-themed superpowers littered around the map so that the humans can't use them against you. If you stand still, your purple body... |
| Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ beta test has caught the attention of federal safety regulators Posted: 23 Oct 2020 10:53 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Federal regulators are keeping their eye on the rollout of Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" experiment. This week, the automaker began beta testing its latest advanced driver assist software with a select group of customers, and so far, the government is taking a wait-and-see approach. In a statement, a spokesperson for the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would "monitor the new technology closely and will not hesitate to take action to protect the public against unreasonable risks to safety." The statement also included some footnoting of Tesla's decision to describe its driver assist feature as "self-driving" (emphasis ours):
