| It may be curtains for Arclight and Pacific, the theaters I’ve only dreamt of attending Posted: 12 Apr 2021 08:38 PM PDT  The owner of famous movie theater chains Arclight Cinemas and Pacific Theaters has revealed that the theaters will never reopen from their COVID shutdowns, according to Variety. Decurian, the company that operates both chains, gave a dire statement to Deadline: it includes phrases like "exhausted all potential options" and "does not have a viable way forward." I don't live in California, and I've never seen a movie at either an Arclight or Pacific, but their shuttering hurts me deeply: I've always hoped to see a movie at an Arclight and experience Pacific's Cinerama Dome, and it seems like I may never have the opportunity. (Those aren't my only movie dreams in distress: the dinner and a show chain I've hoped to visit, Alamo Drafthouse, h... |
| Samsung’s follow up to the Z Fold 2 could be smaller, but maybe not in the dimension you want Posted: 12 Apr 2021 06:13 PM PDT  Samsung's next Galaxy Z Fold folding phone might have a slightly smaller screen than its previous models, feature a smaller battery, and quite possibly launch in July alongside a new Galaxy Z Flip, The Elec reports (via XDA Developers). The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will reportedly have a 7.5-inch main tablet screen and a 6.2-inch screen on the front cover of the phone, The Elec writes, which would be virtually the same as the Fold 2's 7.6-inch main display and 6.2-inch cover display. The Elec says these screen sizes come with the added benefit of "zero bezels," so even though the screens may be the same size, the third Fold could feel slightly smaller because the actual body of the phone might shrink. In comparison to the Fold 2's 4,500mAh... |
| The PC market isn’t slowing down after an amazing 2020, despite chip shortages Posted: 12 Apr 2021 06:05 PM PDT  The PC market had a great first quarter, despite the global shortage of semiconductor chips. Research firm Gartner estimates that shipments of "traditional PCs," meaning laptops and desktops, are up by 32 percent compared to Q1 2020 (via CNBC). IDC puts the number even higher, estimating 55 percent growth year-over-year. This seems to be the continuation of a trend — the PC market had a great 2020 as well. Both firms agree that the growth is atypical — Gartner says that the growth is the fastest it's seen since it started tracking the market in 2000, and IDC says that the drop in shipments from Q4 to Q1 is the smallest it's seen since 2012. The raw numbers are also impressive — Gartner estimates that just under 70 million PCs were... |
| Three reasons why Epic Games can give away $17.5 billion worth of games for free Posted: 12 Apr 2021 05:55 PM PDT  The Epic Games Store gives away free games every week — often good ones — and yet the company has never explained how it's managed to dole out 749 million copies without going bankrupt. Until now. New documents published as part of the legal discovery process for Epic's major antitrust lawsuit against Apple were published last week, and between those and a series of tweets from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, we're getting our best look yet at how the company's not quite throwing billions of dollars away. It's not spending as much as you'd thinkAccording to Apple's "proposed findings of fact" document (credit to Eurogamer for spotting some of this over the weekend), Epic Games is losing cash — hundreds of millions of dollars in "minimum... |
| A robotic spacecraft just latched onto an active satellite in orbit Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:59 PM PDT  A robotic spacecraft from Northrop Grumman latched onto an old communications satellite in deep orbit and extended its lifespan by five more years. The Mission Extension Vehicle-2 (MEV-2) marked Northrop's second successful docking of an object in space. The mission is part of the company's efforts to kickstart an industry of life-extension services for dead, dying or errant satellites. MEV-2 launched in August last year from French Guiana in South America. It spent six months raising its orbit to rendezvous with Intelsat's 17-year-old communications satellite in geosynchronous orbit, more than 22,000 miles from Earth. That satellite was running out of fuel and was getting old; it had operated far beyond its expected lifespan while still... |
| Google is removing its Play Movies and TV app from every Roku and most smart TVs Posted: 12 Apr 2021 03:57 PM PDT  The Google Play Movies and TV app will no longer be available on any Roku set-top box or any Samsung, LG, Vizio or Roku smart TV starting July 15th, Google has announced (via 9to5Google). If you have movies or TV shows purchased or rented through the service, you'll still be able to access them through the "Your movies and shows" section of the YouTube app on those devices. This change will also affect you if if you used the Movies and TV app to access Movies Anywhere, the service that allows you to redeem codes from DVDs and Blu-rays so you can access your media digitally. Google has confirmed to The Verge that users who relied on Play Movies and TV to access that content will be able to do so through YouTube. There are a few other... |
| The first trailer for Samsung’s new branded Hulu show is suspiciously light on Samsung Posted: 12 Apr 2021 02:57 PM PDT  The first trailer for Exposure — the upcoming, Samsung-branded reality TV show from Hulu that's one part photography competition, one part Galaxy S21 Ultra advertisement — is here. But for a show that's been paid for by Samsung explicitly to highlight the power of the cameras on Samsung's phones, it's almost suspiciously light on Samsung branding. If you just gave Exposure a cursory glance (or, more likely, stumbled across it on Hulu one night) there's nothing about it that immediately betrays its status as Samsung branded content. There's no Samsung logo on the title card, no mention of the Galaxy S21 Ultra or its 108-megapixel camera system, or the various software add-ons that help Samsung's smartphone stand out from the rest. In... |
| Airbnb is trying to preemptively cancel post-pandemic bacchanals Posted: 12 Apr 2021 02:33 PM PDT  Airbnb is attempting to put the kibosh on disruptive post-vaccine summer parties by launching its "Summer of Responsible Travel" plan, focused on offering more support to hosts and their neighbors, and adjusting its policies to prevent Airbnbs from being used for things other than calm, socially distanced stays. Airbnb's most noticeable change is a ban on one-night or last-minute stays on the Fourth of July, at least for those guests who don't have a history of receiving positive reviews from Airbnb hosts. The company is targeting the Fourth because it says the holiday is viewed as a "reopening date" for the US and potentially an occasion for large gatherings that could spread COVID-19. ... |
| Intel hopes to start making chips for car companies within six to nine months Posted: 12 Apr 2021 01:55 PM PDT  Intel could start producing in-demand semiconductors for car companies within six to nine months, CEO Pat Gelsinger said in an interview with Reuters, commenting that the chipmaking is already being discussed with companies that design chips for cars. "We're hoping that some of these things can be alleviated, not requiring a three- or four-year factory build, but maybe six months of new products being certified on some of our existing processes," Gelsinger told Reuters. "We've begun those engagements already with some of the key components suppliers." Even if Intel is unable to meet that six to nine month goal, the news highlights the importance that Intel is placing on its new business as a producer of chips for other companies. ... |
| Kyndryl is IBM’s wacky new name for its dry IT spinoff Posted: 12 Apr 2021 01:47 PM PDT  Meet Kyndryl — which, despite the name, is not a new legendary pokémon or a futuristic fake pharmaceutical from Cyberpunk 2077. No, Kyndryl is the new name for IBM's legacy IT infrastructure business, which the company is spinning off into a new company to allow the main company to focus on its newer (and more lucrative) areas of emphasis, like AI and cloud services. I'll let IBM's press release explain:
