| Silicon Valley’s Clipper all-in-one transit card finally adds Apple Pay Posted: 15 Apr 2021 06:02 PM PDT  Silicon Valley might seem like a shining beacon of technological progress to some onlookers, but natives know it can be weirdly hit and miss — like how the San Francisco Bay Area has long had a physical tap-to-pay card that'll let you onto practically every form of public transit, and yet never let you simply tap your phone or smartwatch to do the same. Until today — because starting today, the Clipper Card supports Apple Pay, including its Express Mode where you don't need to wake the device or open an app first. You can now use almost any recent iPhone or Apple Watch to board BART (which serves the East Bay and San Francisco), Muni (San Francisco's bus and light rail system), Caltrain (which connects San Francisco to the peninsula and... |
| Apple’s App Store hosted kiddie games with secret gambling dens inside Posted: 15 Apr 2021 04:52 PM PDT  In popular culture, access to an illicit gambling den is as easy as stumbling into the right shop and saying the password — or greasing some palms. Apple's App Store apparently has a real-life parallel: today, app developer Kosta Eleftheriou discovered a terrible kiddie game that's actually a front for gambling websites. The secret password isn't one you'd be likely to guess: you have to be in the right country —or pretend to be in the right country using a VPN. But then, instead of launching an ugly monkey-flipping endless runner game filled with typos and bugs, the very same app launches a casino experience:

| A Resident Evil 4 VR remake is launching on Oculus Quest 2 Posted: 15 Apr 2021 04:06 PM PDT  Resident Evil 4 will be rereleased in virtual reality on the Oculus Quest 2 headset. Resident Evil 4's VR remake will be a collaboration between series publisher Capcom, Oculus parent company Facebook, and the independent studio Armature. While Capcom didn't offer much detail, some early footage shows a first-person adaptation of the classic third-person shooter. Capcom announced its news during a Resident Evil showcase that also included a new trailer for the non-VR Resident Evil Village. Oculus and Facebook Reality Labs will reveal more about the game on April 21st, when Facebook is holding its own VR showcase for the Quest. The Resident Evil series has tried VR before. The 2017 first-person game Resident Evil 7 let you play through... |
| You can play the second demo for Resident Evil Village on May 1st, or earlier on PlayStation Posted: 15 Apr 2021 03:34 PM PDT  During today's Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom announced that a second demo for its upcoming survival horror game, Resident Evil Village, will release on May 1st. That's six days before the game's official release date. Unlike the previous "Maiden" demo, this demo will be playable on all platforms the game will releases on, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Windows PC (via Steam), and Stadia. The demo will allow you to play for 60 minutes and explore both the village and castle areas, regardless of the platform. PS4 and PS5 users will have the option to preload the demo beginning today via the PlayStation Store. Additionally, players on these two platforms will receive early access to the demo on two separate weekends — April 17th... |
| The Fyre Festival settlement reveals the true cost of schadenfreude — $7,220 a pop Posted: 15 Apr 2021 03:13 PM PDT  The organizers of Fyre Festival — think: The Hunger Games, but for influencers — have agreed to a settlement with 277 attendees for $7,220 apiece, The New York Times reports. Tickets for the 2017 "luxury" music festival on a remote island in the Bahamas that actually turned out to be a beach full of FEMA tents and some pathetic cheese sandwiches, cost anywhere from $1,000 to as much as $12,000 — more if you bought a package deal. Yes, really, because Fyre Festival organizers, while apparently not adept enough to coordinate hotel bookings and a caterer, did enlist big-name Instagram stars to sing the praises of the inaugural event, including Kendall Jenner, who received $250,000 for a post she's since deleted. Organizers also (falsely)... |
| Please keep Anish Kapoor away from the whitest white paint Posted: 15 Apr 2021 03:01 PM PDT  Researchers at Purdue University say they have created the whitest paint on record. In fact, they've now crafted an ultra-white paint twice: in October, they announced a white paint that was capable of reflecting 95.5 percent of sunlight. But they decided to outdo themselves with a new formulation, announced today, that reflects up to 98.1 percent of sunlight. The thing about a very white paint is that, along with reflecting light, it also rejects heat. As any goth who has spent the day on the beach knows, black absorbs light and will heat up. The hope with an ultra-white paint is that it could be used on buildings to keep them cooler without air conditioning. The science of the paint comes down to a high concentration of barium... |
| Amazon tried to coerce Ecobee into collecting private user data, the WSJ reports Posted: 15 Apr 2021 02:44 PM PDT  Amazon tried to use its power to coerce Ecobee into using its smart home products to collect user data by threatening Ecobee's ability to sell its products on Amazon, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. As of now, Ecobee's products can still be purchased on Amazon, but the WSJ claims that negotiations between Ecobee and Amazon are ongoing. According to the WSJ, the online retail giant asked Ecobee to share data from its Alexa-enabled smart thermostats, even when the customer wasn't actively using the voice assistant. Ecobee reportedly refused to have its devices constantly report back to Amazon about the state of the user's home, including data on which doors were locked or unlocked and the set temperature. The reasoning... |
| How to turn off autoplay videos on Facebook, Twitter, Firefox, and more Posted: 15 Apr 2021 02:40 PM PDT  You've probably been caught off guard by videos that play automatically on Facebook, Twitter, or just across the internet in general. They begin playing as soon as you load a page or (if they're more deviously implemented) when you start scrolling through a page. Automatic video play is a feature that, while nice to have when it's surfacing content that's related to your interests, can be pretty annoying. Autoplay videos can be harmful, too, exposing you to violent, offensive, or otherwise unwanted content that you shouldn't have to see by default. Whether you just want to put an end to autoplay videos on social media platforms or are looking for a more comprehensive fix, we've got some tips. Keep in mind that you'll need to adjust... |
| Reuters finally decides to charge you for its online news stories with a paywall Posted: 15 Apr 2021 01:37 PM PDT  As online publishers grapple with how to replace dwindling ad revenue and find new ways to bring in money, Reuters, one of the largest news organizations in the world, is using a strategy that's been around for years and putting its online content behind a paywall. Reuters.com draws 41 million unique visitors monthly, according to the company, but it has not charged for access like other news sites in its business-centric niche have done for some time. It will let users read five stories a month for free and plans to charge $34.99 a month for a subscription. That's a bit pricier than a sub to The New York Times ($18.42 / month) but closer to similar news organizations of its type, including The Wall Street Journal ($38.99 / month),... |
| Arcade Fire released an epic 45-minute single — in Headspace’s meditation app Posted: 15 Apr 2021 01:21 PM PDT  Arcade Fire has a new single out — sort of. The Canadian indie rock band has released a new 45-minute instrumental composition called "Memories In The Age Of Anxiety," but the new song is actually a collaboration with meditation app Headspace, and you can only listen to it there. The new track was created in collaboration with John Legend and, as Stereogum notes, is one of the first new pieces of music from the group since its cover of "Baby Mine" in the 2019 live-action version of Dumbo. (It's the band's first original song since its 2017 studio album Everything Now.) Unfortunately for frugal Arcade Fire fans, it's also locked... |
