| Microsoft president sounds alarm on ‘ongoing’ SolarWinds hack, identifies 40 more precise targets Posted: 17 Dec 2020 06:06 PM PST  Microsoft president Brad Smith warned that the wide-ranging hack of the SolarWinds' Orion IT software is "ongoing," and that investigations reveal "an attack that is remarkable for its scope, sophistication and impact." The breach targeted several US government agencies and is believed to have been carried out by Russian nation-state hackers. Smith characterized the hack as "a moment of reckoning" and laid out in no uncertain terms just how large and how dangerous Microsoft believes the hack to be. It "represents an act of recklessness that created a serious technological vulnerability for the United States and the world," Smith argues. He believes that it "is not just an attack on specific targets, but on the trust and reliability of... |
| Sony is pulling Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store and offering full refunds Posted: 17 Dec 2020 05:13 PM PST  Sony is pulling Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store and offering full refunds for anyone who bought the game from the digital storefront, the company said on Thursday. If you want to start the refund process now, Sony says to visit this site and sign into your PlayStation account to submit a request. However, later on Thursday evening, Sony said it is "aware some users are experiencing issues" accessing the refund form. If you're seeing issues, you may want to try again later. Cyberpunk 2077 has already been removed from the PlayStation Store for a few Verge staffers on their PS5s, and the game doesn't come up in a search for "Cyberpunk 2077" on the web version of the store. Following older, online listing links to the game will... |
| Baby Yoda can live on your desk thanks to AR and Google Search Posted: 17 Dec 2020 04:40 PM PST  Google has added Grogu (formerly Baby Yoda) to its augmented reality search results, so some quick typing can drop an AR version of the little guy straight into your bedroom or home office, no spaceship required. Searching "Grogu", "The Child", "The Mandalorian", or "Baby Yoda" on mobile or in the Google app will return the usual Knowledge Panel with a Wikipedia summary of the character. But now you can click "View in 3D" to check out a model, and if you're really feeling like noted Baby Yoda fan Werner Herzog, "View in your space" to get up close and personal in AR. Interactions are limited to zooming in and out, but he's a really cute alien. Maybe that's enough for you. |
| Hot Wheels is giving the real Tesla experience by delaying their model Cybertruck Posted: 17 Dec 2020 04:09 PM PST  If you've been waiting anxiously for your radio-controlled Cybertruck, you're going to have to wait a little longer: Mattel has had to delay it until May 2021, according to Bloomberg. The RC cars, announced in February, were supposed to ship this month, but have been delayed because of "unforseen production issues." Mattel appears to be experiencing "manufacturing hell," though the company did not release details on the delay. These toys are scaled-down versions of the real Cybertruck, and come in two models: an 1:64 scale model, which costs $20, and an 1:10 scale model that costs $400. Both models went out of stock after pre-orders. Tesla's Cybertruck, unveiled in November 2019, is a... |
| Diablo Immortal plays like, well, Diablo on your phone Posted: 17 Dec 2020 03:00 PM PST  Diablo Immortal didn't make a great first impression. It was announced at Blizzcon in 2018 when most fans were expecting the next mainline Diablo title, not a free-to-play spinoff for smartphones. Since then, Blizzard has been very quiet about Immortal (though Diablo IV was eventually announced). That's starting to change. Ahead of a technical alpha that's set to kick off soon, I was able to play through the early stages of the game. And while I can't speak to every aspect, one thing was immediately clear: this feels like a proper Diablo game. A mobile version of Diablo makes a lot of sense. There are already countless clones and Diablo-inspired titles on smartphones, while the Nintendo Switch version of Diablo III proved just how fun... |
| Moderna vaccine gets sign-off from independent FDA committee Posted: 17 Dec 2020 02:18 PM PST  An independent committee of experts recommended that the Food and Drug Administration authorize the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for people 18 and older. This is the second COVID-19 vaccine to go before the committee — the first, made by Pfizer and BioNTech, was authorized last week. The agency is expected to issue an authorization for Moderna's vaccine within a day or two. "This is a really opportune time for us to move science forward," said Hayley Gans, a committee member and professor of pediatrics at Stanford University Medical Center, during the committee's deliberations. The evidence available for benefits of the vaccine outweighs any issues, she said. "That really supports us being able to, with the pandemic in the background,... |
| Twitter is now testing its Clubhouse-like voice chat rooms Posted: 17 Dec 2020 01:32 PM PST  Twitter has begun testing its Spaces feature, the voice-based chat rooms it first announced last month. In the thread announcing the test, the company said a very small group of users would be given the ability to create Spaces, but that in theory anyone could join them — though who would be allowed into any given space depends on the user who created it. Twitter outlined last month how the first people to be given access to Spaces would be women and people from other marginalized communities, groups who are more likely than others to be subjected to abuse and harassment when trying to engage in conversations in regular, comment-based discussions on the platform.

| Go read this LA Times report about how toxic jet fumes can seep into the air on planes Posted: 17 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST  A stunning new report from the Los Angeles Times details how toxic jet engine fumes can leak into airplanes' air supplies, sickening passengers and crew — and the airline industry has known this was a problem for several decades. The Times reports that one pilot told colleagues the situation was "the tobacco and asbestos of aviation."
"Fume events" occur when heated jet engine oil leaks into the air supply, causing toxic gases inside the plane. Airlines and airplane makers are aware that fume events... |
| Google to shut down Android Things, a smart home OS that never took off Posted: 17 Dec 2020 01:21 PM PST  Google plans to shut down Android Things, a stripped-down version of Android designed for smart home devices. The OS never really got off the ground, so this isn't all that much of a loss, but it is yet another entry in Google's expansive graveyard of shut-down projects. The smart home project got its start in 2015 under the name Brillo, which was meant to provide the "underlying operating system for the internet of things." In 2016, Google revamped Brillo and relaunched the initiative as Android Things, which was likewise meant to run on products like connected speakers, security cameras, and routers. By relying on Android, the OS was supposed to be familiar to developers and easy to get started with. |
| COVID-19 vaccine monitoring program limited to English speakers Posted: 17 Dec 2020 01:13 PM PST  A text message program designed to track side effects in COVID-19 vaccine recipients is currently only available in English, which could limit the data it is able to collect. The program, called v-safe, is one way the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will follow up with people who take the vaccine. It was rolled out with the first wave of vaccinations last week. "When you're talking about technology, literacy and language are usually second tier," says Jorge Rodriguez, a health technology equity researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Version one is English-speaking, and the Spanish version will come later, the Mandarin version will come later." The CDC plans to roll out a Spanish version of v-safe "fairly... |
