YouTube removes PewDiePie diss track for violating cyberbullying, child safety rules

Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:25 PM PST

YouTube has removed one of Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg's recent videos, a diss track aimed at popular children's channel Cocomelon, for violating guidelines around cyberbullying and child safety.

In the video, Kjellberg attacks Cocomelon's content and pokes fun at kids who watch the videos. Kjellberg also uses phrases like "your audience is just a bunch of motherfucking virgins," which could violate YouTube's guidelines for using offensive or vulgar language in videos that include children. Toward the end of the video, Kjellberg also hands what appears to be plastic weapons to a few kids, who use them to attack a melon.

YouTube's team decided to remove the video because it contained imagery that was inappropriate for children despite...

Nvidia says it won’t nerf the Ethereum mining performance of existing GPUs

This morning, Nvidia announced that it would artificially reduce the performance of its upcoming $329 GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card when it comes to one specific task: Ethereum cryptocurrency mining. As weird as that news might sound, it was music to the ears of some gamers — who have been trying and failing to get their hands on graphics cards for months due to the great GPU shortage, and blaming miners for part of that.

You might be wondering: what does this mean for other GPUs? Nvidia isn't talking about its plans for future graphics card just yet, but the company tells The Verge (in no uncertain terms) that it won't nerf existing GPUs. "We are not limiting the performance of GPUs already sold," says a spokesperson.

I was also a bit...

The Game Developers Conference is changing course from its original (potentially risky) plan of hosting a hybrid in-person / digital event in 2021. According to an announcement on Thursday, GDC 2021 will be all-digital and split into three separate events to better and more safely accommodate the networking, games showcases, and instructional workshops and panels the event is known for.

The series of events will start with GDC Masterclass, a collection of virtual workshops and trainings for developers that will take place on March 4th and 5th. GDC Showcase, which will be open to the public and free to attend, will run from March 15th through 19th, featuring networking and lectures in "a new array of content and formats." Finally, GDC...

Blackmagic’s new ‘Pro’ Pocket Cinema Camera 6K adds the tilt-screen the original needed

Blackmagic is releasing a new, "Pro" version of its Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, which looks to fix a lot of the pain points we found in the original. It adds a tiltable, brighter screen (and an optional electronic viewfinder attachment), a bigger battery, and built-in ND. The camera is slotting into Blackmagic's line-up above the regular 6K, coming in at $2,495, about $500 more than the non-Pro version.

While the new features still won't make the camera ideal for consumers, they will bring some quality-of-life improvements to filmmakers and video production houses on a budget — especially that tiltable screen. I've used a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera before, and it's a dream mounted on a tripod at eye-level, but an ergonomic nightmare...

The carbon-fiber Vaio Z is the world’s lightest laptop with an Intel H-series chip

Posted: 18 Feb 2021 03:30 PM PST

Vaio

Vaio is known for making laptops that pack a surprising amount of power into unbelievably thin form factors. The Vaio Z may be the company's most ambitious product yet. It contains up to Intel's four-core Core i7-11357H — and at a starting weight of 2.11 pounds, it'll be the lightest laptop ever to house an Intel H-series processor. (Though models you can buy in the US are 2.32 pounds.)

Part of the reason the Vaio Z is so light is that it's the first laptop ever to be made of "contoured carbon fiber." You'll find carbon fiber in some of the nicest lightweight laptops on the market, including the Dell XPS line — it's a sturdy and lightweight material. But those laptops utilize sheets of carbon fiber that are held together with metal or...

Weeks after Reddit community r/WallStreetBets shitposted GameStop stock up to more than $400 a share, the House Financial Services Committee pulled all of the major players in for questioning on Thursday.

The hearing featured:

  • Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, whose commission-free brokerage platform made WallStreetBets' GameStop short squeeze possible — well, until it didn't, and the app froze all meme trading for hours, angering both the meme traders, lawmakers, and regulators, creating the conditions for our hearing today!
  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, who, in his opening remarks, basically just explained what Reddit is, providing a dictionary-style definition of "subreddits" for lawmakers. After that, he didn't say much else. No one was...

WhatsApp is having another go at explaining its privacy policy to users

Posted: 18 Feb 2021 01:00 PM PST

WhatsApp stock

WhatsApp has a new plan to explain its contentious privacy policy — the one that came under fire when users grew concerned the platform would share their messages with parent company Facebook. In an announcement on Thursday, the company explained how users can read through the new policy and learn how business and personal messages — which have different privacy standards — are handled.

The new privacy policy primarily concerns messaging businesses on WhatsApp and what parts of your data those businesses have access to. Most WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, meaning they can only be accessed by the people actually talking. But WhatsApp also lets users message businesses, and those messages aren't extended the same protections....

NASA's Perseverance rover has successfully touched down on the surface of Mars after surviving a blazing seven-minute plunge through the Martian atmosphere. The rover's clean landing sets the stage for a years-long journey to scour the Red Planet's Jezero Crater for ancient signs of life.

A live video feed from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California showed mission engineers cheer upon confirmation of a clean Perseverance touchdown.

"Touchdown confirmed," Swati Mohan, a member of NASA's Entry, Descent, and Landing team, said. "Perseverance is safely on the surface of Mars ready to begin seeking the signs of past life." The landing team of roughly 30 engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion...
