| Peloton is fighting a recall request on its treadmill after a child died last month Posted: 16 Apr 2021 06:25 PM PDT  Peloton is resisting a request from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to recall its Tread Plus treadmill, which was involved with the death of a child last month, the Washington Post is reporting tonight. At the time of the incident, the CPSC issued a statement that it was investigating. The agency is reportedly planning on issuing a consumer alert about the Tread Plus and may do so as early as Saturday, according to officials who spoke to the Post. One official added that "this doesn't happen with other treadmills." The Post's sources tell the paper that the CPSC is aware of "'dozens' of incidents involving Peloton's treadmills, some involving pets or exercise balls and many of them resulting in serious injuries." |
| Camera footage from wolf’s collar reveals a very good boy Posted: 16 Apr 2021 04:50 PM PDT  Have you ever wanted to watch a wolf hunt freshwater fish? Thanks to the Voyageurs Wolf Project from the University of Minnesota, you can see it on YouTube any time you like. The researchers with the project trapped V089, a lone wolf, sedated him, and then strapped on the Vectronic-Aerospace camera collar. The collar recorded video in 30 second bursts during daylight hours, for a total of 7 minutes a day. The footage is very cool, though some of it is obscured by V089's fur. ("The wolf's beard needed a little trim... lesson learned," one video caption says.) They found that V089 was clever enough to hunt near a beaver dam, going after fish that were trapped by the... |
| Edward Snowden NFT sells for more than $5.4 million Posted: 16 Apr 2021 04:19 PM PDT  Today, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's NFT sold for about $5.4 million, or 2,224 ETH. The NFT is of an artwork that shows an image of Snowden's face made from pages of a US appeals court decision that ruled the mass surveillance program Snowden exposed had violated US law. The image is called "Stay Free." The profits won't go to America's most famous exiled whistleblower, however. Instead, the sale is meant to benefit the Freedom of the Press Foundation, where Snowden is the president. Its board includes actor John Cusack, whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, and the writer Glenn Greenwald.

| Peak Design’s new magnet-powered phone case system delayed until August Posted: 16 Apr 2021 03:20 PM PDT  Peak Design has announced it is delaying shipment of products in its Kickstarter campaign for Mobile, a broad range of phone accessories designed to make it easy to mount your phone on everything from a motorcycle handlebar to a simple dock on your desk. It is meant to be compatible with iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones. Originally targeted for May, the company now expects to be able to begin shipping in August, though some products will also come later. To make up for it, Peak is offering either full refunds for cancellations or discounts on other Peak Design products. Peak Design has used Kickstarter to launch everything from camera-focused backpacks to tripods and its original product, an innovative camera mounting clip. But this new... |
| Robinhood can’t handle the Dogecoin rally Posted: 16 Apr 2021 03:14 PM PDT  Yesterday and today, the enthusiasm for joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin overwhelmed Robinhood, leading to "sporadic crypto order failures and delayed notifications for some customers," Robinhood wrote in a blog post. "These interruptions aren't acceptable to us," Robinhood wrote in its post. "We believe we're the most intuitive crypto platform for Dogecoin traders and we're proud to be a top choice for this community." Robinhood has a history of exactly this kind of whoopsie. In March 2020, there were three huge outages which Robinhood has said were due to "stress on our infrastructure." And infamously, in January, Robinhood limited trades on GameStop, pissing off the entire internet and getting itself hauled in front of Congress in the... |
| You ever think about how Asus put out like 40 models of a laptop called the “Eee PC” Posted: 16 Apr 2021 02:53 PM PDT  There's an Apple event next week, and it's looking fairly likely that we'll see updated models of the iPad Pro and perhaps the iPad Mini. Which is great, because it made me think about the Eee PC, which was either one of the greatest short-lived success stories in tech history or a collective delusion shared by a handful of late 2000s tech bloggers that never actually happened. There were two products that arrived in 2007 that fundamentally changed computing: one, of course, was the iPhone. The second, obviously more important product was the $399 Eee PC 701. It originally ran a custom Linux operating system that reviewers loved (Laptop Mag's Mark Spoonauer said it... |
| Elon Musk says Starlink internet service should be ‘fully mobile’ by the end of this year Posted: 16 Apr 2021 02:48 PM PDT  SpaceX's new Starlink satellite internet service is in a very limited beta testing period right now, but the company is already thinking ahead: as first noted by CNBC, SpaceX has filed an application with the FCC for Starlink components that would allow the service to work on moving vehicles. Big moving vehicles, that is — Elon Musk tweeted that the existing Starlink terminals are too big for Tesla's vehicles, and the idea is targeted at planes, RVs, trucks, and ships.
This would be a big change for Starlink, which right now does not even allow customers to move the existing... |
| New York State just passed a law requiring ISPs to offer $15 broadband Posted: 16 Apr 2021 01:55 PM PDT  Internet should become a lot more affordable in New York after Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill that requires all Internet Service Providers operating in New York state to offer a $15 a month broadband option for low-income consumers. According to NY Assembly member Amy Paulin (via Bloomberg), the average price of broadband in New York is currently $50. This new bill caps the price at $15 for regular broadband and $20 for high-speed broadband, but only for those who qualify as low income. That's still over 7 million people in 2.7 million households according to a press release from Cuomo's office. This is a remarkable move toward making broadband internet the affordable utility most people treat it as. Cuomo's office told The Verge... |
| Android 12 may support a trash bin for deleted files, but it’s messy Posted: 16 Apr 2021 01:38 PM PDT  Google appears to be preparing to add a feature to Android devices that has long been a part of more traditional desktop operating systems: a trash bin (or, if you prefer the way Windows names it, a recycle bin). XDA-Developers has been digging into the code for Android 12 to uncover features that Google hasn't officially announced yet, and the latest is a line in the main Settings app for "Trash." When you tap "Trash," Android 12 should pop up a dialog box telling you how much storage deleted files are taking up on your system and giving you the option to empty it. It looks like it should work just like it does on Windows or a Mac, but in practice it's likely to be much more complicated for a variety of reasons. Android actually got a... |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 01:16 PM PDT  A real estate broker named Shane Dulgeroff decided to take advantage of the NFT hype. He's selling a house at 221 Dryden Street, in Thousand Oaks, California along with an NFT of a psychedelic-flavored video of the house. The artwork and house are up for auction on OpenSea, with a minimum bid of 48 ETH, or almost $117,000. No one has bid yet, and the auction closes in seven days. The house previously sold at $746,000, according to real-estate platform Zillow. "It's less about the significance of the art as it is the significance of us using a platform like this to sell a home," Dulgeroff told Fast Company. "The significance that the art will carry, it's going to be stored in your digital wallet forever as living proof that you... |
