The FAA just greenlit this drone to fly autonomously without a human nearby

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:54 PM PST

In October, the FAA took a major stride towards letting increasingly smart drones fly themselves, letting Skydio's self-flying drones inspect any bridge in North Carolina for four years, as long as humans first verified those bridges were clear.

Now, the US airspace regulator is taking an even bigger step: American Robotics says it's become the first company allowed to operate drones without needing a human pilot or an observer anywhere near the aircraft.

It's not quite as big a deal as you'd expect from the company's press release or The Wall Street Journal's headline "FAA Approves First Fully Automated Commercial Drone Flights," because humans still need to be part of the equation: FAA documents show that American Robotics will still...

Medium acquires eBook company Glose

Medium has announced its acquisition of the social-based ebook company Glose. Glose is a platform where users can buy and read books, then share notes and highlights with friends. In the press release announcing the acquisition, Medium CEO Ev Williams says that the company "look[s] forward to working with the Glose team on partnering with publishers to help authors reach more readers." However, as Engadget notes, once the integration is complete, Glose's library "won't be included in Medium's $5 monthly and $50 annual subscriptions."

What the integration between Glose and Medium will actually look like is still a little unclear. In an interview with CNN Business, Glose CEO Nicolas Princen raises the idea of readers being able to jump...

Facebook won't let people create events that take place "in close proximity" to the White House, the US Capitol building, or any state capitol buildings through Inauguration Day, the company announced on Friday. The move builds upon Facebook's previously announced Inauguration Day preparations aiming to prevent the platform from being used to organize a violent event like the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

Facebook is also doing a "secondary review" of all inauguration-related events and will remove those that violate the platform's rules. The company is also continuing a policy that blocks pages and accounts based outside the US from creating events located in the US. That policy was first put in place for the US presidential...

Apple is blocking Apple Silicon Mac users from sideloading iPhone apps

Apple has turned off users' ability to unofficially install iOS apps onto their M1 Macs (via 9to5Mac). While iOS apps are still available in the Mac App Store, many apps, such as Dark Sky and Netflix, don't have their developer's approval to be run on macOS. Up until now, there was a workaround that allowed the use of third-party software to install the apps without having to use the Mac App Store, but it seems like Apple has remotely disabled it.

When we tried to install an unsupported app on an M1 Mac running macOS 11.1, we got an error message saying that we couldn't install it and should "try again later". You can see a screenshot at the top of this article.

Apple is reportedly prototyping foldable iPhone screens

Apple has started work on a foldable phone, and it's begun prototyping foldable screens internally, according to Bloomberg. A final device is likely still years away, the report says, and Apple is working on just the display for now — not the rest of the phone it would attach to.

The initial prototypes sound similar to the foldable screens we've seen used by Samsung, Motorola, and others. Bloomberg says Apple is looking at making foldable screens with a "mostly invisible hinge" that could unfold to around the size of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The report says that several screen sizes are being discussed, however.

Apple hasn't publicly indicated any interest in making a foldable...

WandaVision is an ode to sitcoms

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 01:42 PM PST

When times are tough, the sitcom is a refuge. Like late-night talk shows, the multicamera sitcom is one of the oldest formats in television. It's affordable and efficient for the people who produce it, and comforting and familiar to viewers. Problems are introduced and solved in 30 minutes or less, usually with the realization that they were never that big of a deal in the first place. Characters have signature tics and catchphrases we love them for; in time, they come to feel like our friends. The best of the bunch are syndicated long enough that we're able to introduce them to our children. What a pleasant thing it is, to retreat into the uncomplicated pleasure of a sitcom — a half-hour white lie to tell ourselves whenever the real...

This year's Consumer Electronics Show was unsurprisingly all virtual. Typically, The Verge is in the thick of it in Las Vegas, but this year, we're all at our respective homes — so that means our podcast The Vergecast is as well.

The Verge's Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, Monica Chin, and Chris Welch dive into all of the important announcements from both inside and outside of CES — including Samsung's new flagship S21 smartphone line, the many new TVs with HDMI 2.1, Mini LED, webOS, and the next laptops with new chips from Intel and AMD.

There's a whole lot more covered in this episode (as you can see from the links below), so listen here or in your preferred podcast player to hear it all.

Apple doesn’t make a MagSafe car charger — here are your options

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 12:47 PM PST

Getting a MagSafe car charger for your iPhone seems like a simple process, but the current landscape is one of trade-offs: there are no all-in-one solutions that will wirelessly hold and charge your phone and are MagSafe certified to provide up to 15W of power. However, manufactures have been finding workarounds.

First, there's Belkin's Car Vent Mount Pro, which is the only MagSafe Certified car mount, and it sells for $39.99. Being certified doesn't mean it provides power, though. You'll have to plug your phone in with a Lightning cable (which you'd have to do anyway for wired CarPlay compatibility). This does technically let you charge your phone faster than regular wireless charging, but it leaves you messing around with a cable.

WarnerMedia extends its 20 percent discount on HBO Max subscriptions

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:54 AM PST

A discount on HBO Max that was supposed to end today, January 15th, has been extended until March 1st, 2021. The fine print of the offer hasn't changed: you can get six months of HBO Max for 20 percent off the normal total cost, which is usually $90 before tax. You'll pay $70 with this deal (it's like paying just under $12 per month instead of $15), but the catch is that you have to prepay in full and it's nonrefundable.

This discount is open to both new and returning HBO Max subscribers, but it can't be stacked with a free trial or any other promotion.

WarnerMedia kicked off this deal in early December 2020 on the heels of Warner Bros. announcing that its 2021 slate of films would debut on HBO Max alongside the theatrical releases and...
