| A modder has made a Nintendo 64 that’s smaller than the original’s controller Posted: 29 Dec 2020 06:06 PM PST  Taking an old console and making it as small as possible is a well-established tradition in the modding community, and there may be a new victor in the race to shrink the Nintendo 64 as far as possible (via Input). GmanModz has cut down an N64 to the point where it's smaller than a GameCube controller — and only slightly bigger than the cartridges it takes. Yes, cartridges. This isn't an emulator, this is an actual Nintendo 64 that was cut, soldered, and otherwise modded to fit into a handheld package, complete with screen, battery, and controls (the joysticks are from a Nintendo Switch, chosen for their diminutive size). At three and a half inches, the screen is... |
| Apple pulls iPhone app promoting secret parties during the COVID-19 pandemic Posted: 29 Dec 2020 05:09 PM PST  An iOS app called Vybe Together that promoted private parties during the COVID-19 pandemic has been removed from the Apple App Store, had its account on TikTok banned, and scrubbed most of its online presence. The app's creators told The Verge that Apple was the one to take it off the App Store. Vybe Together billed itself on TikTok and its website as a place to organize and attend underground parties, using the tagline "Get your rebel on. Get your party on." Organizers would have to approve everyone who wanted to attend, and the ones that got approved would receive the address two hours before the event. Most of these gatherings would have been illegal under current US pandemic restrictions — which may explain why the app required you... |
| McConnell ties full repeal of Section 230 to push for $2,000 stimulus checks Posted: 29 Dec 2020 02:30 PM PST  On Tuesday night, McConnell introduced a new bill tying increased stimulus payments to a full repeal of Section 230, according to bill text obtained by The Verge. The bill comes amid new momentum for direct $2000 stimulus payments, and increasing pressure on party leaders to appease President Trump's escalating demands. Democratic party leaders criticized the inclusion of Section 230 repeal as an effort to scuttle stimulus talks. "Senator McConnell knows how to make $2,000 survival checks reality and he knows how to kill them," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement Tuesday. "Will Senate Republicans go along with Sen. McConnell's cynical gambit or will they push him to give a vote on the standalone [bill]?" M... |
| You can escape this room, but you’ll never escape Google Docs Posted: 29 Dec 2020 01:35 PM PST  For anyone who's been lucky enough to spend the majority of the pandemic working from home, the idea of escaping the room (or couch) that's become a makeshift office is probably a relatable one. Enter this series of "escape rooms" built in Google Docs, that let you do just that, inside web software you've probably become far too familiar with. "Part 3" of the game was finally released today, but you'll never fully escape using Google Docs. "Escape: A Game" by Anthony Smith is styled as a choose-your-own-adventure game set in a series of interlinked Google Docs. You "wake up" from a mysterious dream in a cabin room filling with smoke, and are tasked with getting out. "Part 2" has you do the same thing in a hotel corridor, and "Part 3"... |
| No, NFL player Russell Okung is not being paid in Bitcoin Posted: 29 Dec 2020 01:35 PM PST  "Panthers' Russell Okung Becomes First NFL Player to Be Paid in Bitcoin," the headline proclaimed — and soon, ones just like it started sprouting up across the web, with sports publications, tech publications, and mainstream media outlets alike jumping to tell how the Carolina Panthers offensive lineman finally fulfilled his spoken desire to get paid in cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, the headline isn't true. "Not accurate," an NFL spokesperson tells me, adding that "his people are converting some of the money into bitcoin" after he gets paid in US dollars, just like every other NFL player. Okung's own team, the Carolina Panthers, also confirmed to The Verge that teams pay... |
| Apple loses early challenge in virtualization copyright claim Posted: 29 Dec 2020 01:18 PM PST  Apple has lost an early challenge in its lawsuit against Corellium, a security firm that offers a virtualized version of iOS for security testing. Ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the judge presiding over the case has dismissed Apple's copyright infringement claim over Corellium's software, finding that Corellium's use of Apple code constituted fair use. The judge deferred ruling on a separate Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) charge, but the result is still a significant setback for the iPhone manufacturer's legal case. The news was first reported by The Washington Post. In particular, the judge found that additional features within Corellium's tool strengthened its case for fair use, particularly the ability to modify the... |
| Apple supplier Lens Technology accused of using forced Uighur labor Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:26 PM PST  A major Chinese supplier of consumer electronics components, Lens Technology, has been accused of using forced Uighur labor workers from the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang, China, according to a report from the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) shared with The Verge. The report says Lens Technology — a gadget glass supplier to companies like Amazon, Apple, and Tesla — has used thousands of such workers as part of the Chinese government's ongoing detention and forced labor campaign against the Uighur minority. The Washington Post first reported TTP's findings on Tuesday. TTP's investigation cites media reports from Global Times of China and government records, which allegedly show Lens Technology was sent thousands of workers... |
| Boston Dynamics robots take over the dance floor in latest video Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:17 PM PST  Boston Dynamics' Atlas and Spot robots can do a lot of things: sprinting, gymnastic routines, parkour, backflips, open doors to let in an army of their friends, wash dishes, and (poorly) get actual jobs. But the company's latest video adds another impressive trick to our future robotic overlords' repertoire: busting sick dance moves. The video sees Boston Dynamics entire lineup of robots — the humanoid Atlas, the dog-shaped Spot, and the box-juggling Handle — all come together in a bopping, coordinated dance routine set to The Contours' "Do You Love Me." It's not the first time Boston Dynamics has shown off its robots' dancing skills: the company showcased a video of its Spot robot doing the Running Man to "Uptown Funk"... |
| The Brexit deal calls for DNA profiles to use a 20-year-old email app Posted: 29 Dec 2020 09:53 AM PST  The mammoth, last-minute deal that will govern the United Kingdom and European Union's trade relations going forward post-Brexit has been finalized in the nick of time. But some security researchers have noted some puzzling aspects of the deal, including mentions of the defunct, 23-year old Netscape Communicator email software and recommendations of outdated encryption standards.
The mention occurs in a series of regulations concerning "encrypt[ing] messages containing DNA profile information" between countries, which must be done using a specific set of encryption protocols.
