| SpaceX is sparring with a Texas oil company to drill for natural gas Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:01 PM PST  SpaceX is locked in a legal fight with a Texas oil company for a plot of land it wants to use to drill for natural gas, according to public records. The 806-acre site in southern Texas sits near SpaceX's Starship facilities, a sprawling testing ground for its methane-fueled Raptor rocket engine. Tim George, an attorney for the SpaceX subsidiary fighting for the land, was quoted by Bloomberg News, which first reported the legal despute, as saying methane reserves from the land will be used "in connection with their rocket facility operations." In filings with a Texas energy regulator, the SpaceX subsidiary Lone Star Mineral Development LLC demanded that Dallas Petroleum Group (DPG) LLC, which claims ownership to wells on the land, vacate... |
| Cyberpunk 2077’s first big patch is out now, and it’s packed with bug fixes Posted: 22 Jan 2021 02:31 PM PST  Cyberpunk 2077's first big update is available now, and it's packed with bug fixes for the notoriously buggy game. In a tweet, developer CD Projekt Red also said that the update "lays the groundwork" for future patches.
The 1.1 patch arrives more than a month after Cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch. The game has been plagued with bugs and issues, particularly on older consoles, though CD Projekt Red has released three hotfixes to try to shore up some... |
| GameStop stock halts trading after Reddit drama Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:46 PM PST  Trading in stock of video game retailer GameStop (GME) was halted briefly Friday, as it soared more than 70 percent, due partly to the enthusiastic support of a group of Reddit day traders. The stock is up more than 250 percent year to date, rising sharply last week after GameStop announced Chewy CEO Ryan Cohen was joining its board, CNBC reported. Short-seller Citron Research predicted the price would drop, but members of the Reddit board r/wallstreetbets, who had been generating interest in the stock, criticized Citron on the Reddit message board and continued praising the stock on social media. The hype generated by r/wallstreetbets helped create what's known as a "short squeeze" on... |
| US Defense Intelligence Agency admits to buying citizens’ location data Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:38 PM PST  An intelligence agency has just confirmed that the US government does indeed buy location data collected by its citizens' smartphones. In a memo sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and obtained by The New York Times, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) admitted that it buys location data from brokers — and that the data isn't separated by whether a person lives in the US or outside of it. Data brokers are companies that, as the name implies, collect and sell people's information. The companies collect people's location information (and much more) by paying app makers and websites for it. Once the broker has the information, they can aggregate it and sell it to whoever's willing to pay for it — including the US government. In the memo, the... |
| Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake studio will now focus exclusively on Blizzard games Posted: 22 Jan 2021 12:59 PM PST  Vicarious Visions, the studio that developed Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and the remake for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, has been reassigned within Activision Blizzard, GamesIndustry.biz reports. Moving forward, the studio's team of about 200 people will now be "fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives." That means for any games Vicarious Visions works on in the future, it will not serve as the lead development studio. "After collaborating with Vicarious Visions for some time and developing a great relationship, Blizzard realized there was an opportunity for [Vicarious Visions] to provide long-term support," a Blizzard spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz. The studio did not specify what projects Vicarious Visions... |
| Go read this story about COVID-19 vaccine fights on Facebook Posted: 22 Jan 2021 12:48 PM PST  Adequate COVID-19 vaccine distribution still seems like the greatest obstacle to slowing the spread of the pandemic, but if you're looking to worry about the other threat that's still blocking progress — an unwillingness to take the vaccine at all — and the creative efforts on Facebook that are going into stopping it, you should go read this FiveThirtyEight report. Facebook's taken steps to combat misinformation related to the pandemic, removing false claims about COVID-19 vaccines and banning ads that discourage vaccine use, but reporter Kaleigh Rogers highlights some of the more direct outreach that pro-vaccine activists are doing to combat misinformation. From "honeypot" Facebook groups designed to capture the anti-vax curious to... |
| An EU parliament website for COVID testing allegedly broke the EU’s privacy laws Posted: 22 Jan 2021 11:11 AM PST  The European Parliament is being investigated by the European Data Protection Supervisor after allegations that its COVID testing website didn't meet EU privacy standards. Six members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have worked with data watchdog group noyb to bring the complaint, saying that the site illegally sent data to the US and that its cookie banners were deceptive. The website was set up to help MEPs schedule COVID tests, and while it didn't handle any health information itself, sending data to the US for processing would still be illegal. According to the complaint, the testing website made over 150 requests to third parties, including Google and Stripe. Under EU law, data can only be transferred to the US if "an adequate... |
| Amazon tries to delay warehouse union vote in Alabama Posted: 22 Jan 2021 10:40 AM PST  Amazon is trying to delay a union vote in Bessemer, Alabama, appealing a US labor board decision to allow 6,000 warehouse workers to vote by mail on unionization. The company is arguing for the election to be held in person, according to documents filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Thursday. Amazon's argument is that mail-in voting decreases voter turnout. It says the NLRB looked at the wrong COVID-19 infection data when determining how to hold the vote, using the positivity rate in Jefferson County, where the warehouse is located, rather than the positivity rate at the warehouse itself. Workers in Bessemer are set to vote on whether to unionize with the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union starting on... |
| Google search on mobile is getting a redesign Posted: 22 Jan 2021 10:36 AM PST  Google is redesigning how search results look on mobile, the company announced in a blog on Friday. "We wanted to take a step back to simplify a bit so people could find what they're looking for faster and more easily," Aileen Cheng, who led the redesign, said in the blog. The redesign will have larger and bolder text that's intended to be easier to scan quickly, and you'll see more of Google's font in results. Search results will also take up more of the width of your screen, thanks in part to reduced shadows. Google also says the redesign will use color "more intentionally" to help highlight important information without being distracting. To get an idea of how the redesign differs from the current experience, compare this render of... |
| FTC fines three ticket scalping companies for illegally using bots Posted: 22 Jan 2021 10:09 AM PST  The Federal Trade Commission issued multimillion-dollar fines against three bot-powered ticket scalping operations. The FTC says these organizations bought over 150,000 event tickets over the past four years, nabbing them with automated tools that evaded online purchasing limits. After reselling these tickets for an estimated $26.1 million, they've been accused of breaking a 2016 anti-bot law — the first time this law has been applied. Regulators reached a proposed settlement with the ticket selling groups, including $31.6 million in fines. However, most of these fines were suspended because of an inability to pay. The three groups will pay a total of $3.7 million instead, and they'll have to maintain records demonstrating their future... |
