| Critical NASA rocket test ends early with a shutdown Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:00 PM PST  A critical NASA rocket test ended with a shutdown on Saturday, a little over a minute into what was planned to be an eight-minute test. This trial run was a vital checkpoint for NASA's much-delayed Space Launch System. The SLS is set to play a key role in the agency's Artemis program which aims to return astronauts to the Moon. During today's Green Run test, the four rocket engines in the SLS core fired for a little over a minute while anchored in NASA's rocket test stand. The team had planned to have the engines fire for approximately eight minutes, or about the same amount of time it will take to launch future missions to the Moon.

| Facebook suspends ads for weapon accessories until at least January 22nd Posted: 16 Jan 2021 12:27 PM PST  Facebook has updated its Inauguration Day preparations to include a temporary ban on ads that promote weapon accessories and protective equipment at least through January 22nd "out of an abundance of caution," the company said in a new blog post Saturday. "We already prohibit ads for weapons, ammunition and weapon enhancements like silencers. But we will now also prohibit ads for accessories such as gun safes, vests and gun holsters in the US," the statement reads. The ban comes after Facebook was criticized for allowing posts across its platforms that promoted and organized the deadly January 6th attack on the Capitol building. The ads for military gear such as body armor and gun holsters ran next to Facebook and Instagram posts about... |
| Ford reportedly delays some deliveries of its Mustang Mach-E Posted: 16 Jan 2021 10:39 AM PST  Ford will delay deliveries for hundreds of its Mustang Mach-E vehicles to perform quality checks, Electrek reported. The automaker began delivering the Mach-E SUV in December, but some buyers reported that their upcoming delivery dates had been pushed back, by as long as a month in some cases, according to Electrek. The Mustang Mach-E SUV is Ford's first update to the iconic Mustang brand ever, and the company's biggest foray into the EV marketplace. Ford didn't immediately return a request for comment from The Verge on Saturday, but a spokesperson told Electrek it was doing "additional quality checks on several hundred" of the SUVs that were built before dealer shipments began in December, "to ensure they meet the quality our... |
| Some Twitter employees have reportedly locked their accounts fearing reprisal from Trump supporters Posted: 16 Jan 2021 09:02 AM PST  Some Twitter employees have set their accounts to private and scrubbed their online biographies over concerns they may be targeted by supporters of President Trump, the New York Times reported. In addition, some Twitter executives have been assigned personal security as the company reckons with its decision to bar one of its loudest voices. Trump's @realDonaldTrump account was permanently suspended from Twitter January 8th, "due to the risk of further incitement of violence," Twitter said in its statement. The president told supporters at a rally just before an attack on the Capitol January 6th they would "have to show strength," and "fight much harder," encouraging them to walk down to the Capitol. Trump tweeted that Vice President... |

| Unlike Airbnb, VRBO reportedly won’t cancel reservations in DC during inauguration week Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST  Short-term rental site VRBO does not plan to cancel reservations in the DC area during the inauguration next week, even though competitor Airbnb has already done so. First reported by BuzzFeed News, VRBO said in a blog post Friday afternoon that it was "encouraging hosts to cancel bookings during this time," if they believed a guest was violating its policies, but stopped short of a blanket cancellation. Following the January 6th attack on the Capitol that left six people dead, DC-area officials said in a joint statement that they were "encouraging Americans not to come to Washington, D.C. and to instead participate virtually" in the inauguration. VRBO acknowledges in its blog post that officials were "reporting the potential for... |
| The tech trends we saw kick off at CES 2021 Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST  Another CES is in the books. Going all-virtual meant that it was a smaller show than usual — and since it was already a show that's been on the decline in terms of influence for a few years now, we could feel it. Still: there were some big stories to follow and things to learn about what's coming up in consumer tech. That's the thing about CES: most of the time the best technology shown off here is conceptual, wildly expensive, a long way off in the future, or all of the above. We're interested in it not because we expect to find it in a store next week, but because it informs the things we'll find in stores over the course of the next two years. Also, we're interested in it because gigantic screens are dope, especially when they bend. T... |
| Watch NASA test fire its massive new rocket Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST  Update 6:05PM ET: A little over a minute after the Green Run hot fire test began, the engines shut down. Update 3:10PM ET: NASA has moved up the time for the Green Run hot fire test. The NASA broadcast will now start at 3:20PM ET, and the test window opens at 4PM ET. Four huge rocket engines will roar to life on Saturday, in a crucial test for NASA's powerful next-generation rocket. This long-awaited trial run won't leave the ground, but it will be so powerful that officials have warned that it may be heard up to 60 miles away. Saturday's test is the last step in series of tests that NASA calls a Green Run for the Space Launch System (SLS), a powerful rocket designed to launch missions to the Moon and deep space. It will test the 212... |
| CES showed off the COVID-19 mask gimmick arms race Posted: 16 Jan 2021 07:00 AM PST  Millions of people in the US started buying face masks in 2020, and companies, unsurprisingly, rushed to take advantage of the surge of demand for a new product. At CES 2021, the gadget-ification of the mask was on full display. Leading the pack was Razer's transparent voice-amplifying, light-up concept mask. AirPop promoted its Active+ Smart Mask, which monitors users' breathing rates and alerts them via a smartphone app when the mask's filter needs changing. Binatone's MaskFone has built-in earbuds and a mic for phone calls. Turning masks into a status symbol is nothing new, nor is capitalizing on a disaster to make a buck. Before the pandemic, people wore masks to protect from air pollution, and they're fashion items in China and... |
| Cyberpunk 2077 full development reportedly didn’t start until 2016 Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:24 AM PST  A new report looking into what went amiss with the rollout of Cyberpunk 2077 points to overconfidence from management at CD Projekt Red as a key problem, and reveals that "full development" of the game — announced in 2012— didn't begin until 2016. Jason Schreier of Bloomberg interviewed more than 20 current and former CD Projekt staff, and found that the game's development was plagued by unrealistic deadlines and technical issues. The company "hit the reset button" on the game in 2016, but a demo of Cyberpunk 2077 showed at E3 in 2018 was "almost entirely fake," according to the report. The development also suffered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with programmers on the PC version and testers of the console version working... |
