| This tiny car beat Tesla’s Model 3 as the best-selling EV in the world for January and February Posted: 20 Mar 2021 02:49 PM PDT  The Hong Guang Mini EV edged out Tesla's Model 3 as the top-selling electric vehicle in the world in January and February, not a small feat for the relatively new hatchback. More than 36,000 of the tiny cars sold in January, compared to about 21,500 Model 3s, and the Hong Guang sold just over 20,000 units last month, compared to just under 13,700 Tesla 3s. The diminutive vehicle is made under a joint partnership between China's state-owned SAIC Motor, Wuling Motors, and US carmaker General Motors, and is locally referred to simply as Wuling. The Hong Guang Mini EV sells in China only for 28,800 yuan, or about $4,500. It claims to get 170 kilometers (roughly 106 miles) per charge, and can reach a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour or 62... |
| Brazil regulator fines Apple $2 million for not including chargers with iPhone 12 Posted: 20 Mar 2021 01:14 PM PDT  The consumer protection agency in Brazil's São Paulo state has fined Apple $2 million for failing to include chargers within iPhone 12 boxes, according to 9to5 Mac. Procon-SP says Apple engaged in "misleading advertising, selling a device without the charger and unfair terms." Apple announced in October that the iPhone 12 and would not come with chargers or earbuds in their boxes, citing environmental concerns. By only including a USB-C to Lightning cable with iPhone 12 and other new models, Apple said it would be able to reduce the raw materials for each iPhone it sells, in addition to reducing the size of the phones' boxes. Critics suggested the change had more to do with allowing Apple to reduce shipping costs, and environmental... |
| Coinbase pays $6.5 million to settle trading investigation with CFTC Posted: 20 Mar 2021 11:48 AM PDT  The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said in a news release Friday that cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase has paid $6.5 million to settle regulators' claims that it reported misleading transaction data. According to the CFTC, between January 2015 and September 2018 "Coinbase recklessly delivered false, misleading, or inaccurate reports concerning transactions in digital assets." The agency alleges that two trading programs operated by Coinbase generated orders that traded with each other, which could have misled traders about the trading volume on the exchange now called Coinbase Pro. The CFTC also fined Coinbase for what are known as "wash trades" in the Litecoin cryptocurrency and bitcoin that were conducted by a... |
| Apple discontinuing two configurations of its 21.5 inch iMac Posted: 20 Mar 2021 10:12 AM PDT  Apple recently discontinued the iMac Pro, and two configurations of the 21.5-inch iMac are now joining the Pro in retirement. As spotted by MacRumors, the 512GB and 1TB SSD configurations of the 21.5-inch iMac are no longer available for purchase, with only the 256GB SSD and 1TB Fusion drive versions available to buy on Apple's website. Both configurations appeared unavailable for purchase on Apple's website as of last month, but at the time it was not clear if that was a supply issue or a permanent discontinuation of the two options. But now both the 512GB and 1TB SSD options are gone from the iMac configuration page, MacRumors notes. A big iMac redesign has been rumored in the works for some time. Apple is expected to replace the... |
| Victor Santos’ new comic Paranoia Killer is a dark thriller with an unassuming cartoon look Posted: 20 Mar 2021 10:00 AM PDT  Comics have never been bigger: with Marvel TV shows, DC movies, and indie adaptations growing by the day, comic books have never been more prominent in pop culture. This ongoing Verge column recommends comic series new and old, whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer. Sometimes the art and narrative of a comic go hand-in-hand. A horror story might be full of lots of black and reds, while a superhero comic is brighter and cleaner. Paranoia Killer goes in a different direction. The series is a dark thriller, full of violence and serious subject matter, but with a visual style reminiscent of a Nickelodeon cartoon. Somehow, it still works. What is it? Paranoia Killer is a brand-new series — so far, only the first of four parts is... |
| Twitter will set up a legal entity in Turkey to comply with controversial social media law Posted: 20 Mar 2021 09:24 AM PDT  Twitter is planning to establish a legal entity in Turkey to continue operating there under the country's controversial internet law that took effect last year, the company announced late Friday. Under the law, social media companies that have more than 1 million users must store Turkish users' data in the country. Such companies also are required to designate an official representative in Turkey, who must answer requests to take down content that violates privacy within 48 hours. If the companies refuse to comply, they could face fines, advertising bans, and eventually bandwidth reductions that could make the platforms unusable. "We remain committed to protecting the voices and data of people in Turkey who use Twitter. We will continue... |
| Welcome to the age of vaccine diplomacy Posted: 20 Mar 2021 08:00 AM PDT  Millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines currently sitting in United States warehouses are now destined for vaccination sites in Mexico and Canada, according to the White House. The donation marks one of the US' first steps into the dawning — and deeply contentious — world of late-stage pandemic vaccine diplomacy. The neighborly gesture is reportedly a loan — the US expects that they will return the favor and hand over some vaccine doses in the future. The US can certainly afford to be generous with these doses. The AstraZeneca vaccine that it's donating hasn't been authorized in the US. The country reserved doses just in case it is eventually given the green light by the FDA, but the vaccine is still being tested in the US. Results from... |
| TikTok banning some accounts in Myanmar in attempt to stop the spread of violent videos Posted: 20 Mar 2021 07:42 AM PDT  TikTok says it has "aggressively banned" numerous accounts and devices in Myanmar, in an attempt to curb misinformation and the spread of violent videos on its platform. Rest of World reported that government soldiers in Myanmar have posted hundreds of videos to TikTok since its military seized power in February. The videos ranges from traditional pro-government propaganda, to misinformation meant to confuse protesters, to threats from soldiers with weapons. TikTok removed some of the videos earlier this month after media reports about the rise in hate speech and threats in the southeast Asian nation. But Rest of World reports that the short-form video platform admitted it had not moved swiftly enough to stop the spread of the... |
