A hacker who exposed Verkada’s surveillance camera snafu has been raided

Tillie Kottmann, a 21-year-old hacker, has been raided by Swiss authorities and their devices seized, Bloomberg reports — days after helping to reveal how Silicon Valley security startup Verkada's own security was so poor that that hackers were able to access over 150,000 of the company's cameras to see the insides of schools, jails, hospitals, police stations, and Tesla factories.

The raid doesn't have anything to do with Verkada, according to Bloomberg, but instead an "alleged hack that took place last year," and interestingly, a Swiss authority pointed Bloomberg to the US Department of Justice for further questions. (The DOJ declined to comment.)

It's not clear which hack the DOJ might be interested in, as Kottmann has been c...

Apple is discontinuing the original, full-size HomePod and will now focus its speaker efforts on the HomePod mini, the company told TechCrunch on Friday evening.

Here is what Apple said in a statement to TechCrunch:

HomePod mini has been a hit since its debut last fall, offering customers amazing sound, an intelligent assistant, and smart home control all for just $99. We are focusing our efforts on HomePod mini. We are discontinuing the original HomePod, it will continue to be available while supplies last through the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Resellers. Apple will provide HomePod customers with software updates and service and support through Apple Care.

Slack will soon respect your chosen skin tone color when you smash that emoji reaction

Many of us here at The Verge are big fans of emoji reactions in Slack, and today we noticed that our newsroom's Slack now groups emoji reactions with different skin tones into one mass reaction. The feature is now rolling out to everyone, the company tells The Verge.

Here's how it works. Let's say that your colleague dropped a Simpsons-yellow Flexed Biceps emoji on a Slack message celebrating someone's huge accomplishment. If your default skin tone for emoji in Slack is a dark skin tone, and you mash that Simpsons-yellow Flexed Biceps emoji reaction, a dark skin tone emoji will show up alongside the yellow one and your reaction will be added to the total count.

My editors have allowed me to post this highly secretive message from our...

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass platform just got a huge boost with the addition of 20 new Bethesda Softworks titles starting today, and now a quarter of those games will be getting performance boosts on the next-gen Xbox consoles in an upcoming update. The performance gains are in frame rate thanks to an appropriately named new feature Microsoft revealed last month called FPS Boost, which can roughly double frame rates of older games using new Xbox hardware without requiring developers do any manual work.

The games that will see performance boosts with frame rate jumps up to 60 frames per second include Arkane Studios' Dishonored: Definitive Edition and Prey and Bethesda Game Studios' The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout 4,...

Bitwarden adds secure text and file transfer to its arsenal

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 01:18 PM PST

Many current password managers allow you to share your passwords with family members or other individuals or groups. (You do use a password manager, don't you?) Managers such as Bitwarden and 1Password have specific methods by which you can share passwords or groups of passwords, making it easier for a family to, say, access a shared streaming service.

Now Bitwarden has upped the ante by adding a feature it calls Send, which allows you to send files or text (including, if you wish, passwords) securely via end-to-end AES-256 bit encryption, using a link on its site.

Bitwarden Send generates a link and includes a number of security options

Here's how it works: If you wish to send a file (it can be up to 100 MB), you...

Here’s where you can buy a PS5

Update March 12th, 2021 3:55PM ET: Best Buy currently has both the PS5 Digital Edition and PS5 consoles in stock and available for purchase. But you can only request a pickup at your local store and cannot have the console shipped to your home address.

The PlayStation 5 has been quite challenging to find ever since its launch in November. And when it is available, sales have been, for the most part, limited to online-only, with stock selling out almost instantly. Despite this, we here at The Verge are dedicated to helping you keep track of when and where the PS5 is available in the hopes you can get another shot at buying Sony's next-gen console.

We're keeping a lookout across the web to find where, when, and how you can buy either the...

Amazon Prime Video will soon let you shuffle all the shows you’ve been meaning to binge

Amazon is updating its Prime Video app to include a new feature: the ability to play episodes of a show on shuffle (via Android Central). This feature could make it easier for people who just want to watch a sitcom without having to actually pick an episode. Clicking the button should just start playing episodes in a random order.

The feature seems to initially be somewhat limited though — according to Android Police, it doesn't let you shuffle through the entire show, only one particular season. At the moment, it's only been spotted on Android.

Amazon may be trying to race Netflix to rolling out a shuffle function: according to Variety, Netflix has announced that it will be rolling out a a shuffle button to users sometime in the first...

Sony’s PlayStation 5 is restocked at Best Buy

If you missed Target's PS5 restocks Thursday, you may be in luck. Best Buy has the PS5 Digital Edition and PS5 models up for purchase.

According to the product listing, Best Buy will only allow you to pick up your newly purchased PS5 at a local Best Buy store. No home delivery is available for either model.

Once you get your hands on a PS5, there are a few items you're going to want to pick up for your console. Some of the most popular PS5 exclusives right now include Demon's Souls Remake by Bluepoint Games and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

If you plan to play local co-op with family or friends, an extra DualSense controller might also be a good item to pick up.

One thing I also recommend buying is a one-year membership to PlayStation...

Microsoft is going to adjust its release cycles for Microsoft Edge to match the every-four-weeks release cadence for Chrome that Google announced last week.

"As contributors to the Chromium project, we look forward to the new 4-week major release cycle cadence that Google announced to help deliver that innovation to our customers even faster," Microsoft said in a blog post on Friday.

The change will go into effect with Edge 94, which is targeted for a September release. Google has committed to making the switch with Chrome in Q3 with Chrome 94, but hasn't given a specific month like Microsoft has.

Like Google, Microsoft is also offering enterprises the option of a longer release cycle enterprise customers. On that Extended Stable...
