| FDA authorizes first COVID-19 vaccine in US Posted: 11 Dec 2020 06:28 PM PST  The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the use of a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, a landmark moment in the fight to suppress a virus that has killed nearly 300,000 people in the United States and sickened tens of millions around the world. "Today's emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine holds the promise to alter the course of this pandemic in the United States," Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a press release. The vaccine is authorized in the US for people over the age of 16. It was found to be 95 percent effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in clinical trials. "That is extraordinary," Anthony Fauci, director of... |
| Cyberpunk 2077’s long-struggling developers will see their bonuses after all Posted: 11 Dec 2020 05:55 PM PST  Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's latest game, has been in development for nearly a decade. It was first announced in May 2012, and it's had a rocky development cycle, with numerous delays and, in the final stretch of development, a required six-day workweek. But despite the long development, the game didn't review quite as well as CDPR wanted, meaning developers who had been toiling for years could have been on the brink of losing performance bonuses that were tied to review scores. The studio's developers won't have to worry about review scores anymore, though: CDPR will now pay full performance bonuses regardless of the critical reception of the game, according to Bloomberg. |
| Cyberpunk 2077’s 1.04 patch makes changes to reduce epilepsy risk Posted: 11 Dec 2020 04:50 PM PST  Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is rolling out an update to the game that could reduce the potential for some sequences to induce epileptic symptoms. The risks of seizure were brought to light by Game Informer editor Liana Ruppert earlier this week. The 1.04 hotfix is now live on PlayStation consoles and PC, and CDPR is working to have the update out "as soon as possible" on Xbox. CDPR says it has changed the way its "braindance" sequences look. During these sequences, a device is placed in front of your character's eyes that flashes red and white lights. The effect is similar to what actual neurologists do to trigger seizures for diagnoses, according to Ruppert, who reported that she suffered an epileptic episode when... |
| Familiars.io is a simple, Pokémon-style multiplayer game that you can play right inside Twitter Posted: 11 Dec 2020 03:48 PM PST  Familiars.io is a minimalist monster-catching game that went online last year, and right now, you can play it inside Twitter. As developer Nigel Nelson tweeted this afternoon, he ported (or in his words, "smuggled") the entire game to an embedded Twitter card. That means that you can play it directly through Twitter's web interface or mobile app. The game is built around Pokémon-style exploration and combat in a shared, lo-fi setting. You can wander around capturing enemies to expand your team of familiars, then use them to fight other players (or simply walk around saying "howdy," if you prefer.)

| Norman Abramson, a father of modern wireless networks, dies at 88 Posted: 11 Dec 2020 03:03 PM PST  Norman Abramson, one of the pioneers behind wireless networks, has died at 88, The New York Times reports. Abramson and the team of graduate students and faculty he led were responsible for creating ALOHAnet, an early wireless network whose innovative techniques are still being used today in modern satellite, phone, and computer networks. Abramson died of skin cancer that had metastasized in his lungs, according to The New York Times. An engineer and student of communications theory — a discipline at the intersection of mathematics, information theory, and semiotics — Abramson studied at Harvard, and he received a master's at UCLA and a PhD from Stanford. He was drawn to Hawaii partly because of his love of surfing, and in 1966, took a... |
| Microsoft really recorded a Christmas carol with the words ‘Bingle Bells’ Posted: 11 Dec 2020 02:38 PM PST  Microsoft tweeted a fake commercial for a pretend holiday album called Microsoft Holiday Hits, a not-real, four-CD album that claims it features "60 festive favorites." I want to reiterate that this is not a real album — but the company actually went to the effort to record tidbits of Microsoft-themed versions of classic Christmas carols anyway for the lols. I dearly love puns, dad humor, and terrible jokes, but even I groaned at some of what Microsoft did here. Here are the lyrics to one eye-rolling carol:
Or how about this classic? I look forward to hearing your collective sighs of despair over the Internet:

| You can now use Google Assistant features with more wired headphones Posted: 11 Dec 2020 02:31 PM PST  While many new wireless headphones and earbuds are already equipped with support for virtual assistants, Google has extended that convenience to more users of wired headphones. As 9to5Google points out, it's now possible to quickly access Google Assistant features on an Android phone using 3.5mm and USB-C headphones that were previously unsupported. Until now, Google Assistant integration was limited to wireless or wired options "optimized for Google Assistant support." The company's USB-C Pixel Buds were one of a few wired headphones to offer rich, hands-free integration with Google Assistant. That's no longer the case: plugging in a set of "non-optimized" wired headphones will now trigger a notification indicating that you can summon... |
| Go read this story about schools buying FBI-grade phone-hacking tech Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:31 PM PST  If you were worried about sending your kids back to school after the pandemic ends (or if you are a kid worrying about going back to school), I'm afraid this Gizmodo article is not going to help. Tom McKay and Dhruv Mehrotra have done a fantastic job reporting about how some US school districts are buying tools designed to break into phones to download texts and photos… even ones that have been deleted.

| Watch the first six minutes of Tenet now, from home, on YouTube Posted: 11 Dec 2020 12:53 PM PST  Christopher Nolan recently went on a very public tirade about the importance of movies, including his, being seen on the big screen — but if anyone's interested in watching Tenet's opening prologue, they can do so now on YouTube. Warner Bros. has posted the film's first six minutes on YouTube ahead of the movie's digital release next week. Don't worry about spoilers for the time-warping heist film, there aren't any. (I saw Tenet when it was released at a theater in suburban Canada; it was me and one other person at the other end of the theater.) The scene follows John David Washington's Protagonist and a couple of other characters as they enter an auditorium to complete a mission. That's really all you need to know. It's a pretty fun,... |
