A lawsuit that claims one of Amazon's fulfillment centers in California failed to provide required meal breaks for employees has moved to federal court, as attorneys seek class-action status. First filed in San Francisco County Superior Court in February, the case was removed to US District Court California, Northern District on Friday.

Lovenia Scott, a former employee of the Vacaville, California warehouse, alleges that the company didn't schedule the required 30-minute meal breaks for workers. When they did get their meal breaks, workers were expected to monitor their walkie-talkies in case of any problems on the floor, which sometimes cut into their break time, the suit claims.

The matter of paying workers for time they spend waiting...

Jeep will install EV charging stations at off-road trailheads across the US as part of a partnership with Electrify America, the company announced. Chargers on the Jeep 4xe Charging Network will either be solar powered or connected to a power grid.

The first of the stations will open this spring in Moab, Utah; the Rubicon Trail in Pollock Pines, California; and Big Bear, California. The chargers will have Level 2 (240 volt) charging, which Jeep notes will fully recharge the 17-kWh battery pack in its Wrangler 4xe in about two hours and provide 49 MPGe and 21 miles of electric range. The chargers will be available free to Jeep 4xe owners via a mobile app, and will be compatible with its future EVs.

Hulu’s Android TV app finally gets bumped from 720p to 1080p, at least on some devices

Hulu's Android TV apps can finally stream in 1080p on new Nvidia Shield TV set-top-boxes and Sony Bravia TVs, as spotted by users on Reddit, and written up by Gizmodo, Android Central, and 9to5Google.

Users first noticed the change in the "App & Device Info" page in the Hulu app. After updating, the app lists the new max video resolution as "1920 x 1080". It's sort of a sneaky way to make the change. Looking at the update description on the Play Store, there's no mention of it, so it's possible something changed on Hulu's server side as well.

It's never been possible to know for sure how many people in the United States are sick with COVID-19 at a particular time. Instead, we combine all of the metrics — the percentage of tests run that come back positive, the number of new cases reported each day, people coming to the emergency room sick with COVID-19 symptoms — to get an estimate. It's like the story of the blind men and the elephant: experts can feel out the different pieces of information to get a sense of what an outbreak looks like, even when they can't see it directly.

We've seen the same elephant emerge over and over again over the past year. First, the percentage of tests that come back positive increases. After a slight lag, hospitalizations start to rise, and then...

Facebook temporarily freezes Venezuela president’s page for spreading coronavirus misinformation

Facebook froze the page of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro for violating its policy against spreading COVID-19 misinformation, the company confirmed Saturday. As first reported by Reuters, Maduro had promoted a "miracle" remedy that he claimed would cure the coronavirus, but those claims have not been supported by the medical community.

Facebook also removed a video where Maduro touted Carvativir, a homeopathic remedy extracted from thyme. Maduro has praised the solution in the past as "miracle drops" and a "medical breakthrough." Doctors in Venezuela have called Maduro's claims that Carvatavir can treat the coronavirus "dangerous."

This is not the first time Maduro has made false claims about coronavirus treatments on his social...
