| You shouldn’t have to publicly humiliate AT&T to get usable internet Posted: 12 Feb 2021 06:16 PM PST  Earlier this month, Aaron Epstein spent $10,000 to buy an ad in The Wall Street Journal to tell AT&T's CEO he wasn't happy with his internet service — service that was limited to a paltry 3Mbps (via Ars Technica). Now, AT&T has him hooked up with a fiber connection, and he's getting over 300 Mbps up and down. All it took was getting interviewed by Ars, the ad going viral on Twitter, and a Stephen Colbert mention. In his ad, the North Hollywood, CA resident says he's been an AT&T customer for 60 years (and backs it up with a @pacbell.net email address), and says he's disappointed that the company isn't keeping up with competitors when it comes to his area's internet. Less than two weeks later, AT&T techs had him hooked up, though the... |
| PSA: eBay might not let you sell items without a bank account starting Valentine’s Day Posted: 12 Feb 2021 06:07 PM PST  In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion, turning it into the way you'd buy and get paid for items you sell on the ginormous auction site. But the once-happy couple has been breaking up for years — and on Valentine's Day, some sellers may no longer be able to sell items on eBay at all without connecting an old-school bank account instead. This morning, I received a final warning that I would need to add a bank account by February 14th or else "your ability to revise or relist existing listings, or create new listings will be disabled." eBay tells The Verge this isn't the deadline for every seller — it's rolling out in phases, and a quick scan of the web shows it's been going on for at least a couple years. This isn't... |
| Pirates are flooding Microsoft’s Edge browser with illicit games like Sonic and Mario Kart 64 Posted: 12 Feb 2021 05:37 PM PST  Microsoft's Edge extensions store appears to be hosting illegal copies of a number of iconic games, including Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Pac-Man, Tetris, Cut The Rope, and even Microsoft's own smash hit Minecraft. The developers listed on the titles aren't Microsoft, Nintendo, or any other recognizable game developer, meaning that they almost certainly aren't official copies of the games. We found 35 listings across 10 different "developers" with names like "GamePro Inc," "Gamelands," "StayReal" and "Kday," including a number of duplicate games. Many listings, even from different developers, had very similar descriptions, indicating that they could be coming from the same source. Here are screenshots of just... |
| Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 leaks out with ‘3D motion detection’ Posted: 12 Feb 2021 03:21 PM PST  Amazon's Ring has so many different video doorbells in the market it's getting hard to keep track, but one of them is apparently about to get a big bump with some brand-new features: The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro 2 has just leaked in a listing at Best Buy Canada, as spotted by ZatzNotFunny. It appears to be a direct successor to the high-end Ring Video Doorbell Pro at the same CA$325 (roughly $250 US dollars), but also the first Ring to stream video resolution at higher than 1080p, with a 1536p "expanded Head to Toe view" that "allows you to clearly see who is at your door." That means Amazon's catching up to the field-of-view and resolution that Arlo's Video Doorbell introduced in late 2019. As a Ring Video Doorbell Pro owner... |
| If Whoopi Goldberg tells you to wear a mask on the subway, you wear it Posted: 12 Feb 2021 03:01 PM PST  You might not have to ride public transit to work right now, but if you're one of the many workers who still commutes in New York City (or if you're someone like me who fantasizes about their old commute), you'll now have some new celebrity voice talent to keep you company on your bus or subway ride, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) announced Friday. Normal transit announcements can easily fade in the back of riders' minds. They're either too garbled to be understood or you've heard them so many times that they don't even register. But that might be different if, say, Whoopi Goldberg was the one reminding you to wear a mask on the bus. At least that's a theoretical benefit of the MTA's new announcements rolling out today,... |
| A Komodo dragon has been crowned Twitch’s permanent PogChamp replacement Posted: 12 Feb 2021 03:00 PM PST  On January 6th, the day a riot of pro-Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, Twitch removed the iconic PogChamp emote because the person it depicted made statements calling for further violence. Two days later, the company committed to rotating in a new version of PogChamp every 24 hours, meaning many streamers briefly became the new face of the emote — but they were sometimes subjected to harassment following their new site-wide prominence. On Friday, the Twitch community voted to crown a new face for PogChamp — and the winner isn't the face of a streamer. It's a Komodo dragon. Here's what the emote looks like:

| Thanks, I love NOAA’s satellite-themed Valentine’s Day cards Posted: 12 Feb 2021 02:11 PM PST  Let's be honest, when most people think of places to get good Valentine's Day cards, the US government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Twitter account is probably not high up on the list. And yet, it's posted some cards on the NOAA Satellites account, and I think they're absolutely fantastic. Finding a Valentine's Day card that comes across as sincere is always challenging. Most of the cards on store shelves just come across as clichéd. The ones from NOAA, however, are adorable. And despite their kind of meme-y aesthetic, it really seems like someone sat down and put some effort into them.

| Facebook is secretly building a smartwatch and planning to sell it next year Posted: 12 Feb 2021 01:36 PM PST  Facebook is building a smartwatch as part of its ongoing hardware efforts, according to a new report from The Information. The device is said to be an Android-based smartwatch, though the report does not say whether Facebook intends for the device to run Google's Wear OS. It also says Facebook is working on building its own operating system for hardware devices and that future iterations of the wearable may run that software instead. The smartwatch would have messaging, health, and fitness features, the report says, and would join Facebook's Oculus virtual reality headsets and Portal video chat devices as part of the social network's growing hardware ecosystem. Facebook is also working on branded Ray-Ban smart glasses to come out later... |
