| YouTube went down around the world, but it’s now fixed Posted: 11 Nov 2020 04:45 PM PST  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge YouTube has recovered from a seemingly worldwide outage that prevented videos from loading for roughly an hour. During the outage, many Verge staffers were unable to watch videos, and YouTube confirmed at 7:23PM ET that something was going on:
The issue appeared to affect other services that use the YouTube infrastructure too, including YouTube TV and the movies and TV shows you'd purchase through Google TV (formerly known as Google Play Movies & TV). We couldn't load them. Early in the outage, the YouTube website... |
| Microsoft: ‘please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X’ Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:40 PM PST  Microsoft's latest next-gen console, the Xbox Series X (along with its smaller cousin, the Xbox Series S), has arrived. And with it comes a whole bunch of internet con artists trying to meme people into believing the new console is plagued by terrible issues. You might, for example, have seen clips passed around the internet that showcased the Xbox Series X literally smoking. The posts would have you believe the blazing graphics of the Series X are so demanding they can cause an Xbox to catch fire, but the reality is much simpler than Xbox consoles spontaneously bursting into flame. What actually appears to be happening is that people are piping vape smoke into their new $500 consoles to give off the appearance of a fire to troll fans on... |
| Waves of attacks on US hospitals show a change in tactics for cybercriminals Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:09 PM PST  Photo by David S. Holloway/Getty Images United States hospitals were targeted by two major cybersecurity attacks this fall: the first taking down Universal Health Services, a chain of hundreds of hospitals, and the second by a group called UNC1878 threatening hundreds of individual health care facilities all around the country. Targeting health care institutions directly marks a new approach for cybercriminals. "We haven't seen an incident of magnitude that actually has the potential to harm people, literally all the way up to the point of death," says Caleb Barlow, CEO of cybersecurity consulting firm CynergisTek. "It crosses a line that I think the entire cybersecurity community just didn't think was going to get crossed anytime soon." Many large-scale cyberattacks on... |
| Robot wolves prevent Japanese bear attacks, are also very creepy Posted: 11 Nov 2020 01:28 PM PST  Photo: Kyodo / Reuters No, this is not a Halloween decoration someone forgot. This robot — "Monster Wolf" — is actually a bear deterrent. The city of Takikawa, Japan, deployed these robowolves to prevent bear attacks. And yes, bear attacks were something of a problem: 157 people were attacked by bears in 2019. But since the Monster Wolves were installed, no attacks have occurred, The Guardian reports. Black bears' recent attacks are probably due to a shortage of acorns in the Japanese wilderness, according to conservationists. Bears rely on acorns as part of their pre-hibernation diet, and without the high-calorie nut, they've started edging closer to cities to forage for food. Deforestation and growing cities have shrunk the barrier between bear and human... |
| There’s a question mark hanging over Apple’s Arm Macs Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:29 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple has finally introduced its first Macs with processors it designed itself: a 13-inch MacBook Air, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and a Mac mini. Apple is promising significant performance benefits over Intel processors and, for the laptops, a huge increase in battery life. (To give you an idea of the level of improvement Apple is touting, Apple claims the new MacBook Pro can get up to 20 hours of battery life.) They'll also be able to natively run iOS apps, meaning Macs will theoretically have a lot more software options right from the jump. But before you turn those exciting promises into a preorder, you should know there's still a big question mark hanging over the new computers. |
| If you buy a OnePlus 8T, you can get half off a second phone today only Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:15 PM PST  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge You can grab two unlocked OnePlus 8T phones for $1,124 on OnePlus' website today only. It's a deal worth highlighting: the OnePlus 8T usually costs $749, but if you buy two today, you'll get them for $562 each. This deal also includes a set of OnePlus Buds wireless earbuds with each phone at no extra charge. For a phone that was released just a few weeks ago, this is a great deal. The OnePlus 8T is a solid update to the OnePlus 8, released earlier this year, as my colleague Jon Porter points out in his review. Unlike the OnePlus 8, the 8T offers the same 120Hz refresh rate display found on the 8 Pro. The biggest feature for the 8T is the 65W charging, allowing you to charge the phone super fast. There are a few things you may want to... |
| Moscow’s facial recognition system can be hijacked for just $200, report shows Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:41 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A digital rights activist in Moscow was able to purchase access to the city's extensive facial recognition system for just 16,000 rubles (approximately $200), as reported by the Thomson Reuters Foundation. After seeing ads for the service on Telegram, Anna Kuznetsova transferred the money along with a picture of herself to a seller. Two days later, she received an extensive report of her movements over the previous month, apparently pulled directly from the police system. Spanning more than 100,000 cameras across the city, Moscow's facial recognition system is meant to be restricted to law enforcement. It's unclear how the seller was able to secure access, whether through bribery or a digital intrusion. Two officers were placed under... |
| Halo TV show brings back original Cortana actress Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:37 AM PST  Showtime's Halo TV show is bringing back the original actress for Cortana, the series's iconic AI. IGN reports that Natascha McElhone, the actress originally cast to play both Cortana and her creator, Dr. Catherine Halsey, is unable to finish her work as the AI due to the pandemic. Longtime Cortana actress Jen Taylor will instead take the role, which she's voiced since the first game released in 2001. Showtime announced a Halo TV series back in 2018. It stars Pablo Schreiber, Bokeem Woodbine, Olive Gray, and David Sapani, though it's unclear what shape the show's story will take. McElhone is still set to play Halsey in the series. Taylor has voiced the role of both Cortana and Halsey in the series as well as Microsoft's digital assistant... |
| How to use Alexa Care Hub to check in on older relatives Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:27 AM PST  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Amazon has rolled out the Care Hub, a set of Alexa features you can use to remotely check in on older relatives in their homes. That could be especially useful during COVID-19, when many folks aren't able to visit their relatives as often as they usually do. Care Hub is free and easy to set up — your relative just needs an Alexa device. Through Care Hub, Alexa can send you alerts when your relative first uses their Echo device each morning or if they don't use the device by a certain time. You'll also have access to an activity feed where you can see an overview of their Alexa activity. (Amazon emphasized that this was designed with privacy in mind — you can see the types of activities your relative is doing, but you can't see things... |
| Facebook extends political ad ban another month as Trump refuses to concede Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:25 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook on Wednesday announced an extension on its political advertising ban for at least another month, citing delays in election results due to COVID-19 and unprecedented rates of mail-in and absentee voting. The extension was announced in an update posted to its original blog post on the topic. "The temporary pause for ads about politics and social issues in the US continues to be in place as part of our ongoing efforts to protect the election. Advertisers can expect this to last another month, though there may be an opportunity to resume these ads sooner," the update reads. "Getting the US election results this year may take longer than in previous elections due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and more people voting by mail.... |
