| Elon Musk’s flamethrower was not a flamethrower, but that isn’t stopping police Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:18 PM PST  Mark Harris has put together an amazing report for TechCrunch on the legal troubles that have befallen buyers of the Boring Company's flame-throwing device. Part of what makes it worth a read is that it digs up stories you may have not heard about yet: a police raid in London, an American doing time in an Italian prison, and how they've turned up in narcotics hauls alongside real guns and bags of cocaine. While the Not a Flamethrower name may actually be accurate, the story shows that when police the world over see you with a gun-shaped device, especially one that shoots flames, they may not join you in laughing about Elon's zany project ideas. They may just end up arresting you. The biggest "what the... |
| Mojang is retiring the old Minecraft Dungeons launcher Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:00 PM PST  Minecraft Dungeons' dedicated launcher on PC is being retired in favor of a new "Unified Launcher" that lets you launch Dungeons and Minecraft: Java Edition from the same place, reducing the number of places where you can play Minecraft on PC by one (via Windows Central). Minecraft Dungeons is the hack-and-slash loot collecting cousin of Minecraft that, until this change, had its own launcher unless it was purchased from the Microsoft Store. As of January 18th, the non-Microsoft Store version of Dungeons on PC can only be launched from the new Unified Launcher (which itself is an update to the Java launcher). Mojang says the change shouldn't affect save files and that either a Microsoft account (soon to be required to play on PC) or a... |
| Storytelling incubator Wattpad is getting bought for over half a billion dollars Posted: 19 Jan 2021 04:10 PM PST  Last week, we told you how Wattpad has become a place where budding authors can sometimes turn their work into Hollywood film and TV, with Hulu, Netflix and others adapting Wattpad writers' labors into titles like The Kissing Booth, Light as a Feather and After We Collided. But it looks like Wattpad may no longer be trying to become an entertainment tastemaker all on its own — South Korean web company Naver is buying Wattpad for over $600 million, the companies announced today. While details are scarce, it seems like Naver already sees Wattpad as a natural pairing with one of its other brands — Webtoon, an online webtoon publishing portal that similarly allows artists to upload their own work and similarly spawns TV and anime... |
| Animal Crossing is getting an official makeup line Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:50 PM PST  Nintendo has announced that it's collaborating with cosmetics brand ColourPop on a makeup collection inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The collection looks to be relatively extensive, including four powder palettes that are themed after characters in the game. Obviously, Isabelle is fabulous enough that she doesn't have to share with anyone and gets her own. ColourPop is no stranger to pop culture collaborations. It has lines inspired by Disney princesses, The Mandalorian, and even Sailor Moon. The Animal Crossing venture won't even be the first collab it's done with a gaming brand, as there's also a Candy Land x ColourPop line.

| Goodbye and good riddance to the 16:9 aspect ratio Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:35 PM PST  One of the biggest trends coming out of this year's CES wasn't something people will necessarily notice at first glance unless they look closely. After enduring years of cramped, "widescreen" laptop displays, it looks like we're finally starting to say goodbye to the 16:9 aspect ratio. An aspect ratio is the ratio of a display's width to a display's height (in that order). For example, a screen with a resolution of 500 x 500 would have an aspect ratio of 1:1. Think of it like simplifying a fraction: a 1080p screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which divides down to 16:9. The aspect ratios you'll typically see on laptops are 16:9, 3:2, 16:10 (which, for... |
| Vrbo is blocking new Washington, DC reservations during inauguration week Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:09 PM PST  Vrbo has changed its stance on people making reservations in the Washington, DC area during the week of the inauguration. The company announced on January 19th, the day before the event, that it will block any new reservations through Friday, January 22nd. Vrbo previously stated it was evaluating new bookings and that it would "take appropriate action in coordination with law enforcement" if necessary. The news was tweeted by Expedia Group (which owns Vrbo) and from the official Vrbo Twitter account. It comes in light of DC officials encouraging people to stay home and participate in the inauguration virtually.

| Why did The CW skyrocket to the top of the App Store? Posted: 19 Jan 2021 01:57 PM PST  Some people may have been surprised to see The CW's app sitting atop the list of free apps available on iOS devices, passing YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and more. The CW noted in a statement that this is the third year in the row it reached the top of the charts during a premiere week, despite earlier data from SensorTower claiming it was the first time in three years. Screenshots provided to The Verge from The CW show the app hit the top of the app store every week, with the exception of 2020 because the premiere week was moved to 2021 due to production issues brought on by the pandemic. For people without a cable subscription who want to watch Riverdale, All American, Batwoman, and more, The CW's free, ad-supported app is an easy... |
| Samsung’s latest ‘military grade’ rugged tablet arrives in the US starting at $489 Posted: 19 Jan 2021 01:17 PM PST  The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3, announced globally in September of last year, is now available in the US starting at $489.99. It's a rugged 8-inch Android tablet designed primarily for manufacturing, retail, and job sites, with an IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating. Samsung even says it passed tests against 23 environmental conditions, including vibrations and high altitude, to meet the MIL-STD-810 military-grade standard. An IP68 S Pen stylus is included in the box, as is a case that protects against drops up to 1.5 meters. The Tab Active 3's touchscreen is designed to be used even when wearing work gloves, though not "extremely heavy duty gloves or mittens." It also offers three physical navigation buttons as well as two... |
| Netflix surpasses 200 million subscribers, but has more competition than ever in 2021 Posted: 19 Jan 2021 01:05 PM PST  Netflix has surpassed another major milestone: 203.6 million subscribers around the world. The achievement comes after Netflix saw spectacular growth in the first half of 2020. But as it celebrates passing the 200 million subscriber mark, Netflix is also acknowledging that 2021 likely won't see as many net subscriber gains every quarter, starting in the first quarter of 2021. Netflix added a total of 8.5 million paid net subscribers in Q4, bringing in a record breaking 37 million paid memberships in 2020. Netflix "achieved $25 billion in annual revenue," according to the earnings report. Still, Netflix is warning that "we expect paid net adds of 6 million" in Q1 2021 compared to last year's "15.8 million, which included the impact from... |
