| The US government will let TikTok run out the clock and ‘overlook’ its own deadline Posted: 04 Dec 2020 06:02 PM PST  The Trump administration won't enforce its own deadline for ByteDance to sell or spin out video-sharing platform TikTok's business in the US, according to Bloomberg. The latest deadline for that move, given by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) on November 28th, was today, December 4th. An extension isn't expected, though the current deadline will "be overlooked while the discussions continue" between the Trump administration and TikTok, Bloomberg reports. CNN tech reporter Brian Fung is corroborating that the US won't enforce its own deadline, with his sources amusingly suggesting that the lack of a deadline is proof that the US is "highly motivated" to complete talks about the sale.

| Google Fi is offering $100 to upgrade your 3G phone before it stops working Posted: 04 Dec 2020 06:01 PM PST  Google Fi will stop activating non-VoLTE phones in January, and encourage customers with older phones to upgrade with a $100 credit provided they purchase a new phone from the Fi store and activate it before December 31st, 9to5Google reports. Google's hand is forced in the matter. Customers subscribe to Fi, but as an MVNO, Fi actually piggybacks on T-Mobile and US Cellular's networks to provide coverage. Since T-Mobile has already announced its own plans to phase out support for non-VoLTE phones starting in January 2021, Fi has to as well. VoLTE stands for "Voice over LTE", which is the handling of phone calls over LTE data rather than older 3G tech. VoLTE calls are typically... |
| Hope you weren’t planning to watch Wonder Woman 1984 with an HBO Max free trial Posted: 04 Dec 2020 05:34 PM PST  It may be time to pour one out for the streaming service trial. CNET reports that HBO Max is no longer offering users a free week of watching its content, following both Disney Plus and Netflix's examples earlier in the year. This change, probably not coincidentally, comes just weeks before December 25th, when Wonder Woman 1984 is set to launch on the service (as well as in theaters, but you should probably stay home). While it can't compete with free, the $14.99 you'll now have to pay to see the movie still compares favorably to the price of a theater ticket (and it's a month of entertainment as opposed to two-ish hours). It's not the first streaming service to nix a free trial before a big release: Disney Plus did it just a few weeks b... |
| Apple will replace your iPhone 11’s display for free if it has the glitchy touchscreen Posted: 04 Dec 2020 04:39 PM PST  If your iPhone 11 isn't responding to touches, it might be eligible for a free fix from Apple. The company has launched a replacement program for iPhone 11 displays that stop responding to touches "due to an issue with the display module." Apple says that "a small percentage of iPhone 11 displays" are affected. Devices affected by the issue were manufactured between November 2019 and May 2020, Apple said, meaning not every phone is affected. If you're seeing the issue on your iPhone 11, you can check to see if your phone is eligible for the program by plugging its serial number into a box on Apple's website for the replacement program. If your phone is eligible for replacement, you can find one of Apple's authorized service providers to... |
| Apple developers can now let you share free copies of your in-app purchases with your family Posted: 04 Dec 2020 03:59 PM PST  If you've ever wished you could share an in-app purchase with your family, you may be in luck. Today, Apple announced that subscriptions and one-time in-app purchases can now be shared among families. If you buy a consumable item, like coins in a game, you'll still be the only one who can use them, but if you unlock an ad-free or pro version of an app it could be eligible for the new Family Sharing program. Apple announced this change back in June with Big Sur, but it's finally letting developers flip the switch to allow subscriptions and purchases to be shared.

| YouTube and Peacock are now streaming 22 James Bond films for free Posted: 04 Dec 2020 02:40 PM PST  Maybe you're feeling nostalgic for a classic James Bond film following Sean Connery's death in late October. Or perhaps you're simply feeling a gap given that the next film, No Time to Die, got pushed back to April 2021 or beyond. Either way, you can now binge a sizable selection of the James Bond collection completely for free (with ads) from YouTube, Peacock (with a free account), and PlutoTV. (Disclosure: Comcast, which owns Peacock parent NBCUniversal, is also an investor in Vox Media, The Verge's parent company.) Not every provider has every film, and a few aren't on streaming services at all: you'll need to rent Skyfall and Spectre if you care to watch those again. It's also not clear how long these films will be free to stream. B... |
| Nissan follows GM in ditching Trump’s effort to overturn California’s pollution rules Posted: 04 Dec 2020 02:00 PM PST  President Donald Trump's effort to overturn California's ability to set fuel efficiency rules just lost another automaker. According to Reuters, Nissan said it was joining General Motors in abandoning the group of car companies that were previously supporting Trump's fight with California. On November 23rd, GM announced it would leave the group of automakers that included Nissan, Fiat Chrysler, and several others, that were supporting Trump's legal efforts to overturn pollution-fighting powers. Under the Clean Air Act, the state has historically been allowed to set its own emissions standards. And as the largest auto market in the US and one of the biggest in the world, California has a lot of influence over the auto industry. |
| Why Warner Bros. had to move its 2021 films to HBO Max Posted: 04 Dec 2020 01:33 PM PST  WarnerMedia is making a clear bet for 2021: its slate of movies won't generate the revenue its studio division needs, but it can help boost HBO Max's long-term success. The company announced yesterday that every one of its 2021 movies will debut on HBO Max in the United States at the same time they play in theaters. They'll be available for one month, at no extra charge, and available to stream in 4K HDR. It feels like an inevitable shift; COVID-19 cases are surging around the world again, new content on streaming services is drying up, and WarnerMedia needs to figure out a way to keep revenue coming in. Looking at a year where cinemas might not open beyond 25 percent capacity in the United States and where people may not want to sit in... |
| Chrome OS 87 adds tab search and Bluetooth device battery levels Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:57 PM PST  Chrome OS 87 is rolling out now, and it adds a few nice features to help you while browsing the web and when using Bluetooth accessories (via 9to5Google). One new addition in Chrome OS 87 is tab search. I typically have dozens of tabs open at any given time, so I could see how tab search might be a really handy way to find something I've lost in the process. Google is also adding tab search to the desktop version of Chrome, though the company said in mid-November that the feature would be coming first to Chromebooks and to other desktop platforms "soon." Chrome OS 87 can also now show you the battery levels of Bluetooth devices that you have connected to your... |
| Amazon to face federal lawsuit over firing of warehouse worker Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:43 PM PST  Amazon's decision to fire warehouse worker Courtney Bowden violated labor laws, according to charges filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last month and obtained by BuzzFeed News. Bowden was advocating for better working when the company abruptly let her go. Bowden was one of many workers fighting for paid time off at Amazon warehouses as the coronavirus pandemic intensified. While the company said it was rolling out increased safety measures, workers continued to get sick and executives became increasingly hostile to employee organizing efforts . In March, Bowden was fired over an alleged incident with her supervisor. Bowden's termination came at a time of unprecedented demand for Amazon services. Throughout the spring,... |
