| Italian watchdog tells TikTok to block users whose ages can’t be verified Posted: 23 Jan 2021 11:45 AM PST  Italy's data privacy authority has ordered video sharing app TikTok to temporarily block the accounts of any users whose ages can't be confirmed, Reuters reported. The order comes after the death of a 10-year-old girl in Palermo, whose parents told authorities their daughter was participating in a "blackout challenge" she saw on the app. The child died of asphyxiation, and authorities are investigating whether anyone invited her to try the challenge. The Italian Data Protection Authority ordered TikTok to block unverified users in Italy until at least February 15th. The company told The Guardian it had not found content on its platform which would have encouraged the child to participate in the challenge, but said it was cooperating... |
| Tiger and the need to complicate the world we grew up in Posted: 23 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST  The year is kicking off with what's becoming a loose tradition: a documentary about a renowned '90s athlete that aims to shade in a more complete picture. This time around, it's Tiger, a two-part HBO Sports documentary about golf superstar Tiger Woods. Like The Last Dance, which chronicled Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls while reflecting on his entire career, Tiger attempts to complicate the prevailing narrative of a legend defined by his meteoric rise and equally steep fall. Even if you didn't know golf, you probably knew about Tiger Woods. If you came of age in the '90s or early aughts, it was impossible to not know about the man who brought raucous, Michael Jordan-levels of celebrity to golf — a sport so... |
| Facebook says ‘configuration change’ caused some users to be logged out unexpectedly Posted: 23 Jan 2021 07:26 AM PST  Facebook says some users were logged out of their accounts unexpectedly Friday due to a "configuration change," and the issue has been fixed as of Saturday morning. "On January 22, a configuration change caused some people to be logged out of their Facebook accounts. We investigated the issue and fixed it for everyone earlier today. We're sorry for the inconvenience," a Facebook company spokesperson said in an email to The Verge.
The problems began late Friday ET, with users on the r/Facebook Reddit board r... |
| A year into coronavirus, we’re still counting the dead Posted: 23 Jan 2021 07:00 AM PST  A year ago this week, The Verge published our first story about the virus. It was January 21. The first case had arrived in the US. We'd only heard of about 300 cases reported in China and six deaths. We still knew there was a chance it could get bad. "It's bringing back SARS flashbacks for me," coronavirus expert Timothy Sheahan told Verge reporter Nicole Wetsman at the time. The 2002 SARS outbreak taught researchers speed, but was only a deadly teaser to the still-unnamed pandemic that was about to begin. One year and almost 1,000 coronavirus-related articles later, we've passed more grim milestones than we ever should have. More than 97 million people have contracted the virus and 2.1 million people have died. In just one year, more... |
| Super Bowl 2021 won’t stream in 4K, but these TV deals are still worth it Posted: 23 Jan 2021 06:30 AM PST  In news that's likely to be devastating to people who are looking for any and all reasons to upgrade their TV, CBS announced that Super Bowl LV won't be broadcast in 4K HDR. The decision was made because of complications caused by the pandemic. This likely isn't going over too well with all of the TV manufacturers that use the Super Bowl as the moment to clear out 2020 models at a big discount. But there are other reasons to seize these deals while they're around. There's more 4K content than ever, with HBO Max's Wonder Woman 1984 being one of the big new releases to support 4K HDR. One of the TVs mentioned below has HDMI 2.1 ports, giving it the ability to display certain PS5 and Xbox Series X games at 4K resolution with up to 120... |
| Radio and TV host Larry King dies at 87 Posted: 23 Jan 2021 06:23 AM PST  Longtime TV and radio host Larry King died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 87. Ora Media, which King co-founded in 2012, confirmed the news in a tweet to the @KingsThings Twitter account. A cause of death was not immediately available Saturday, but he had reportedly been hospitalized recently with COVID-19. "Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs," the statement from Ora reads. "Whether he was interviewing a U.S. president, foreign leader, celebrity, scandal-ridden personage, or an everyman, Larry liked to ask short, direct, and uncomplicated questions." — Larry King (@kingsthings) January 23, 2021 King started his career in local radio in... |

| Microsoft backtracks on Xbox Live Gold price hike Posted: 22 Jan 2021 09:08 PM PST  Microsoft has reversed its controversial Xbox Live price increase. The company announced a price hike on Friday that would have doubled the cost of a yearly subscription to the service, which is required to play games online on Xbox consoles, to $120 for many users. Now, though, Microsoft says the price will stay the same. Beyond that, Microsoft has decided to bring Xbox Live in line with Sony and Nintendo's online services by dropping the subscription requirement for free-to-play games. Popular free-to-play titles like Fortnite are playable on PlayStation consoles and the Nintendo Switch without an online subscription, but you still need one for Xbox consoles; Microsoft says it's "working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible... |
