| Miami mayor says Elon Musk will tunnel under the city for just $30 million Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:42 PM PST  Elon Musk told Miami's mayor Friday that The Boring Company could dig a two-mile tunnel under the city for as little as $30 million — a fraction of the $1 billion price tag once quoted by local transit officials. Musk also told the Mayor that The Boring Company could complete the job in six months, versus the original four year estimate. Mayor Francis Suarez shared these details about his "wonderful call" with Musk in a video posted to Twitter. "He's focused on trying to deliver a project that will have the maximum utility for our residents for the least amount of money," Suarez said. "The order of magnitude in terms of savings is significant."

| Reddit stopped rogue r/WallStreetBets mods from taking over the community Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:29 PM PST  Reddit's r/WallStreetBets has grown significantly due to the community's role in driving up the stock prices of companies like GameStop, AMC, and Nokia, and the whole saga has garnered so much attention that there are currently many movies and a TV show in the works. But that increased attention has also put strain on the r/WallStreetBets community itself, forcing Reddit to step in to help sort things out. The trouble started Wednesday night, according to The New York Times, as some r/WallStreetBets moderators talked with each other about trying to get a movie deal. On Thursday morning, "the WallStreetBets moderators who were considering the film deal began booting out other moderators who had questioned them for secretly trying to... |
| Sonos FCC filing hints it’s coming for the UE Boom and other small Bluetooth speakers Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:30 PM PST  Sonos is preparing for the release of a new product that, according to FCC documentation, is likely to be the company's second portable speaker with a rechargeable battery. The unannounced device, listed at the FCC as model number S27, is shown in testing diagrams to have a wireless charging dock and offer both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) wireless technology. The mandatory FCC label reveals that this new product uses less power than existing Sonos speakers like the Sonos Move, lending more credence to a smaller overall size. The circular label design, and the fact that Sonos says the label is visible on the bottom surface of the product hints that... |
| Joe Biden’s executive order on refugees matters a lot for climate migration Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:02 PM PST  Joe Biden's administration is crafting a report that will include proposals for how the US might respond to global migration due to climate change. Biden commissioned the report as part of a broader executive order he signed yesterday aimed at overhauling the US refugee resettlement program, which was gutted under the Trump administration. "I've worked on this very intersection of issues for over a decade, and I never thought that this would be a part of any American president's priorities, especially within the first 30 days of their administration," says Kayly Ober, climate displacement manager at the humanitarian organization Refugees International. "So I am delighted and surprised." |
| A German man is keeping $60 million in bitcoin from police by never revealing his password Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:54 PM PST  The wonderful thing about bitcoin is many of its apparent benefits, like the ability to be anonymously owned and securely transferred, are also the things that often create situations like this: police in Germany have seized more than €50 million ($60 million) in bitcoin, but they can't access any of it because, as Reuters reports, the person they took it from won't tell them his password. The man in question was sentenced and has served his time in jail for covertly installing bitcoin mining software on people's computers, but throughout the entire process, he never shared a peep about how German authorities should get in. "We asked him but he didn't say" is the explanation Reuters was offered by a prosecutor. It presents a big, and... |
| Someone modded a Game Boy Color to act as a much better Apple TV remote Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:45 PM PST  Most people who have used the Apple TV Siri remote have probably craved something that isn't so darn frustrating to use — but most of us haven't modded a Game Boy Color to work as one (via Gizmodo). That's exactly what Italian YouTuber Otto Climan did, and while his project looks sleek as all get-out, it's surprising how well it works using the Game Boy's original hardware. First off, we have to talk about the case he used. It was apparently made by a company called Retro Modding, specifically for the project, and it looks incredible with its blend of '90s Apple and Nintendo aesthetics.... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:57 PM PST  Okay, screenwriters, directors, authors, and production companies — we get it. You have some experience telling stories about Wall Street, the video game industry, or social networks, and you see some mighty big dollar signs in the true tale of how Reddit managed to drive an ailing video game retailer's stocks to completely ridiculous highs through sheer power of will plus a David versus Goliath narrative that probably doesn't hold up under close examination. So you're making movies — four of them — and a TV show. Why not? It's not like any one person has the rights to a news event like this! As of Friday, February 5th:

| Destruction AllStars no longer turns on voice chat by default, thanks to new hotfix Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:09 PM PST  Sony released the car-smashing game Destruction AllStars exclusively for the PlayStation 5 on Tuesday, but it shipped with one very annoying feature: voice chat in multiplayer matches was turned on by default, meaning you could be subject to the unfiltered comments and background noise from your opponents. And worse, it wasn't immediately obvious how to turn voice chat off. On Friday, however, developer Lucid Games addressed the issue by releasing a hotfix for the game that disables voice chat in multiplayer lobbies by default (via Kotaku). I jumped into a couple of matches with the hotfix installed to test things out, and I was greeted with glorious silence from my fellow players. However, it seems there's no option for public voice... |
| Patient names and colonoscopy results from US hospitals posted by hackers to the dark web Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:52 PM PST  Patients of two US hospital chains had their names, birthdays, and colonoscopy results posted on the dark web after a hack, reported NBC News. The tens of thousands of files released were from patients at Leon Medical Centers in Miami and Nocona General Hospital in Texas. The patient records posted in this hack also include letters to insurers. There does not appear to be ransomware locking up the systems at Nocona, and the organization did not open a ransomware demand, an attorney for the organization told NBC News. Cyberattacks on hospitals and health care organizations are increasingly common. These attacks doubled in the second half of 2020 compared to the first half. Two major attacks targeted US health care facilities in the fall.... |
| Justice Department closes criminal probe of Ford emissions testing Posted: 05 Feb 2021 11:27 AM PST  The Department of Justice (DOJ) has closed a nearly two-year investigation into the process Ford uses to evaluate the emissions of its vehicles, the automaker disclosed in a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ford says it "cooperated fully" with the probe, but no action was taken. Ford originally disclosed the investigation in April 2019, just a few months after it announced its own internal probe into concerns over the process. Those concerns, first raised by Ford employees, had nothing to do with the kind of deceitful "defeat devices" at the center of Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal. Rather, the employees believed there were problems with some of the analytical models Ford was using to calculate things like... |
