SpaceX reportedly raised the best part of a billion dollars to fund future missions

Posted: 16 Feb 2021 06:11 PM PST

SpaceX

SpaceX has reportedly raised $850 million in a round of funding, in transactions that would value shares of the company at $419.99 each. According to CNBC, this would mean the company is worth around $74 billion. It would also mean that the company has money to continue on with its future projects.

As one could imagine, some of SpaceX's projects are deeply unprofitable before they start making money — for instance, earlier this month Elon Musk said that there's a "deep chasm of negative cash flow" between the company's satellite-based internet service provider Starlink and profitability. The company's plan to send enough satellites to create a global, high-speed internet network is expensive, and since the service is still in the beta...

Google made the surprise announcement on February 1st that it would be shuttering its in-house Stadia game development studios. But the news wasn't just a surprise to Stadia customers; it was a bolt from the blue for the Stadia development team, which, just a week prior, had been told that the studios were making "great progress," according to a report from Kotaku.

"[Stadia Games and Entertainment] has made great progress building a diverse and talented team and establishing a strong lineup of Stadia exclusive games," said Phil Harrison, a vice president at Google and general manager for Stadia, on January 27th in an email to staff obtained by Kotaku. The email promised more news on the Stadia studios' strategy and goals for 2021. But...

Microsoft is expanding its accessibility efforts with a new program for evaluating Xbox and PC games. Today, its gaming accessibility team announced that developers can send their games to be evaluated for accessibility and tested by players with disabilities. The program was announced alongside updates to the Xbox Accessibility Guidelines that were released in early 2020.

"Developers now have the option to send Microsoft their Xbox or PC title and have it analyzed and validated against the recommendations provided in the XAGs," says an Xbox blog post published today. The Xbox Accessibility Guidelines include thorough explanations of inclusive design considerations for developers, and they are now updated to include clearer language,...

Apple’s iOS 14.5 emoji promote inclusivity, vaccines, and the AirPods Max

Posted: 16 Feb 2021 02:20 PM PST

As part of iOS 14.5, Apple is adding new emoji from the Unicode Consortium's Emoji 13.1 release, including skin tone options for some popular emoji and several new smiley faces and hearts. The company is also making some changes to other emoji that are already available.

The new changes to skin tone and gender presentation are probably the most important to note. Popular emoji like "Couples Kissing" and "Couples with Heart" now have many more skin tone variations for all options.

PC gaming is an expensive hobby, so I wouldn't blame you if you're trying to save some money here and there. To that end, if you're looking for a QHD gaming monitor that's affordable and loaded with features, Acer's Nitro XV272U might have your name on it. It costs $300 at Amazon right now, which is the cheapest you'll find it online. This isn't the first time it has seen this discount, but I always want to tell people about it when it resurfaces.

I actually purchased this monitor the last time it was on sale because it met all of my requirements at a fraction of the price I expected to pay. It's a 27-inch IPS panel in 1440p resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. I've seen a lot of other monitors on the...

Apple won’t have to allow App Store alternatives on iOS after North Dakota bill fails

A North Dakota bill that would have drastically altered the way app store operators like Apple and Google manage their digital marketplaces has failed to garner enough votes, failing in the state senate by an 11-36 vote on Tuesday, according to North Dakota House of Representatives member Karla Rose Hanson.

The bill, SB 2333, stirred considerable controversy last week when a committee hearing drew the attention of corporate lawyers and lobbyists, experts, and Apple critics arguing both in favor and against the proposed legislation's potentially far-reaching consequences.

The bill would have barred any company in the business of software distribution making over $10 million in annual revenue from imposing rules on developers dictating...

Here’s what the upcoming Sonos headphones will probably look like

Posted: 16 Feb 2021 01:45 PM PST

Sonos has long been rumored to be developing a premium set of noise-canceling headphones to join the company's ecosystem of speakers and multiroom audio products. A new design patent filing at the German Patent and Trademark Office seems to provide a glimpse at a farther-along, more refined product than what we saw from the US Patent and Trademark Office in September. These latest filings were registered in December and published in late January.

One notable difference is that the Sonos wordmark is visible on this design; it wasn't present on the previous filing. (That said, it's in broken lines, which doesn't count for much in a design patent and signifies that placement could change.) Another evolution is that the rods coming out of...

Motorola has announced two new budget phones coming to European markets: the Moto G30 and the Moto G10, both starting well under €200. The higher-specced G30 includes a fast 90Hz refresh rate screen and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging, two features not commonly seen at this price.

The G30's 6.5-inch display is unfortunately just 720p. Other specs look healthier, though, like IP52 dust and splash resistance, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of built-in storage that is expandable via microSD. The phone includes a 64-megapixel main camera that produces 16-megapixel images, plus an 8-megapixel ultrawide, 2-megapixel macro camera, and 2-megapixel depth sensor, with a 13-megapixel selfie camera around front. It's equipped with a Snapdragon 662...
