| Former NASA chief Jim Bridenstine joins satellite internet firm Viasat’s board Posted: 01 Apr 2021 05:00 AM PDT  Former NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine is joining space-based broadband firm Viasat's board of directors as his latest post-NASA gig, after joining a space-focused private equity firm in January. Wading into the world of satellite internet, he says he's concerned about the digital divide and the future of humanity, and he wants to try something new. "When I left NASA I had a lot of different phone calls and texts on what I should be doing next or what I could be doing next," Bridenstine tells The Verge. A mentor, he said, suggested he reach out to companies he's interested in, so he emailed Viasat's cofounder and executive chairman Mark Dankberg and asked if they need any help. "There's a digital divide and we need to close that,"... |
| Caterpillar is bringing its newest rugged phone to the US for $699 Posted: 01 Apr 2021 05:00 AM PDT  The Cat S62 Pro — and that's Cat as in Caterpillar, the construction company — is now available in the US. The rugged smartphone is the latest device to feature Cat branding (it's technically a product of licensee Bullitt Group) and builds on its predecessors' integrated thermal camera capabilities. It's designed with construction and industrial workers in mind, and at $699, it's a more attractively priced follow up to 2018's S61, which debuted in the US at $899. Introduced last summer for sale in the UK, the S62 Pro features solid (if not super competitive) phone specs, which isn't guaranteed in the rugged phone class. You'll get a 5.7-inch 1080p display, a Snapdragon 660 processor with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4,000mAh... |
| Apple forced to offer Russian iPhone users local apps at setup thanks to new law Posted: 01 Apr 2021 04:59 AM PDT  iPhones purchased in Russia now show a list of Russian-made apps at startup, thanks to a new law which comes into effect today, MacRumors reports. The prompt is part of the standard iPhone setup process, appearing after the user has selected other options like whether to allow Location Services or App Analytics. "In compliance with Russian legal requirements, continue to view available apps to download," the dry text reads, before showing a short list of just shy of a dozen apps. These include various Yandex apps, an email app from Mail.ru, a video live streaming service called OK Live, and popular Russian social network VK. A "Get" icon appears next to each app, giving the user a shortcut to install them.

| Google’s AI reservation service Duplex is now available in 49 states Posted: 01 Apr 2021 04:08 AM PDT  More than two years after it initially began trials, Google's AI-powered reservation service Duplex is now available in 49 US states. This looks like it'll be the limit of Duplex's coverage in the US for the time being, as Google tells The Verge it has no timeline to launch the service in the last hold-out state — Louisiana — due to unspecified local laws. Adapting to local legislation is one of the reasons Duplex has taken so long to roll out across the US. Google tells The Verge it's had to add certain features to the service (like offering a call-back number for businesses contacted by Duplex) to make it legal in some states. In others, it's simply waited for legislation to change. The... |
| YouTube is relaxing some rules about ads on drug-related videos Posted: 01 Apr 2021 03:13 AM PDT  From this month, Google is updating some of its YouTube ad guidelines about drug-related videos. In a support document spotted by Gizmodo, Google says it's "expanding monetization on educational, documentary or news content that may include violent interactions with law enforcement, recreational drugs and drug-related content, or sensitive events." The update means more drug-related videos should be eligible to have ads placed next to them. You can see the exact changes by comparing a backup of YouTube's old content guidelines from last month with the guidelines that are live now. The guidelines break down drug-related content into three categories: videos where uploaders can turn ads on, videos where ads should be turned off, and videos... |
| Microsoft shuts down Cortana on iOS and Android Posted: 01 Apr 2021 02:10 AM PDT  Microsoft has shut down its Cortana app for iOS and Android. It's the latest in a series of moves to end support for Cortana across multiple devices, including Microsoft's own Surface Headphones. The Cortana app for iOS and Android is no longer supported, and Microsoft has removed it from both the App Store and Google's Play Store. "As we announced in July, we will soon be ending support for the Cortana app on Android and iOS, as Cortana continues its evolution as a productivity assistant," reads a Microsoft support note spotted by MacRumors. "As of March 31, 2021, the Cortana content you created–such as reminders and lists–will no longer function in the Cortana mobile app, but can still be accessed through Cortana in Windows." Cortana... |
| Apple will use Tesla’s ‘megapack’ batteries at its California solar farm Posted: 31 Mar 2021 06:47 PM PDT  Apple announced Wednesday that it's building a big battery storage project at a Northern California solar farm it spearhead in 2015. But what the company didn't share is that the battery packs will come from Tesla, The Verge has learned. The newly-announced setup, which will store up to 240 megawatt-hours of energy, was approved by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 2020, according to documents submitted last year. It will consist of 85 Tesla lithium-ion "megapacks" and be used to help power the company's corporate headquarters in Cupertino. Monterey County's planning chief confirmed that Apple will use the Tesla batteries in an email to The Verge. Apple declined to comment. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. Tesla... |
| Amazon’s Alexa lets you control a Lamborghini’s air conditioning with just your voice Posted: 31 Mar 2021 04:57 PM PDT  Amazon is taking a bigger step into cars today by integrating Alexa into Lamborghini's Huracán EVO, and not just to ask questions or remotely control your home — it's giving the assistant the ability to control settings inside the car, hands-free. The partnership was originally announced last year as part of Amazon's push into cars, but the integration goes beyond Alexa's usual bag of tricks. Alexa's integration allows users to control "climate and comfort settings including air conditioning, heater, fan speed, temperature, seat heaters, defroster and air flow direction, as well as lighting," Lamborghini says. (It can also pull up a screen showing you the car's torque vectoring and traction control.) Of course, Alexa also has its own... |
| Twitter now lets you add stickers to Fleets Posted: 31 Mar 2021 04:55 PM PDT  Twitter is adding stickers to its ephemeral, Snapchat Stories-like Fleets, the social media company announced on Wednesday. Stickers are available for users on both Android and iOS. When you're making a Fleet, you'll be able to add stickers by tapping the smiley face icon on the bottom row of your screen. When you do, you'll see a collection of Twitter-made animated stickers and emoji (the latter of which Twitter calls "Twemoji"). And if you search for something in the search bar at the top of the screen, Twitter will pull up GIFs sourced from Tenor and Facebook-owned Giphy.

| Ubiquiti is accused of covering up a ‘catastrophic’ data breach — and it’s not denying it Posted: 31 Mar 2021 04:52 PM PDT  Ubiquiti, a company whose prosumer-grade routers have become synonymous with security and manageability, is being accused of covering up a "catastrophic" security breach — and after 24 hours of silence, the company has now issued a statement that doesn't deny any of the whistleblower's claims. Originally, Ubiquiti emailed its customers about a supposedly minor security breach at a "third party cloud provider" on January 11th, but noted cybersecurity news site KrebsOnSecurity is reporting that the breach was actually far worse than Ubiquiti let on. A whistleblower from the company who spoke to Krebs claimed that Ubiquiti itself was breached, and that the company's legal team prevented efforts to accurately report the dangers to customers.... |
