| Hummer’s new electric SUV can drive diagonally, with 300 miles of range and a $110,000 price tag Posted: 03 Apr 2021 05:30 PM PDT  Hummer has unveiled the SUV version of its electric pickup truck, which comes with up to 300 miles of range and will sell for a suggested retail price of up to $110,595 for its first edition. Reservations for that model are already full, according to GM's website. GM, which is producing the electric Hummers under its GMC brand, said the SUV will go into production starting early 2023, with less pricey variants starting at $90,000 in the spring of 2023 and a low-end $80,000 variant with a 250-mile range in the spring of 2024. Previously, the company said that its electric pickup truck will start assembly at the end of 2021, starting with the most expensive trim level. Like the pickup, the SUV's $90K-and-up trim levels... |
| Steam survey suggests Nvidia’s RTX 3070 is actually trickling into the hands of gamers Posted: 03 Apr 2021 04:43 PM PDT  Now that the street price of an Nvidia RTX 3070 is over $1,200, it's temping to think scalpers, bots and cryptocurrency miners got them all — but the latest Steam Hardware Survey suggests at least some of them are making their way into gaming PCs, too. As TechSpot reports, the 3070 in particular appears to have become Steam's fastest growing GPU, and the 17th-most popular graphics accelerator on Steam with a 1.29 percent share overall. The RTX 3080 also commands 0.87 percent, the RTX 3060 Ti has 0.39 percent, and the pricey RTX 3090 claims 0.34 percent of the market — for a total of 2.89 percent Ampere cards. That not bad, especially considering AMD's rival RX 6000 series... |
| Trump used dark patterns to trick supporters into donating millions more than intended Posted: 03 Apr 2021 03:50 PM PDT  When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, he didn't stop asking his supporters for money. The emails kept coming in. But by the end of his four years in office, according to a new report in The New York Times, they had begun to look an awful lot like a scam. By June 2020, the Trump campaign had begun using dark patterns, computer interfaces designed to trick users, to automatically sign up campaign contributors to donate far more money than they had intended — recurring monthly donations, recurring weekly donations, even a one-time surprise "money bomb" — by pre-checking the checkboxes for each option, burying the fine print under paragraphs of bold text, and forcing his supporters to wade through it all and opt out if they... |
| Uber will pay a blind woman $1.1 million after drivers stranded her 14 times Posted: 03 Apr 2021 01:43 PM PDT  Uber was sued in 2014 for discriminating against blind people and their guide dogs, and agreed to change that as part of a $2.6 million settlement two years later. But apparently, that didn't entirely happen. Uber will now pay an additional $1.1 million to a blind woman who says said she missed work, missed her birthday celebration, missed Christmas Eve church services, and was left out in the dark, in the rain, and other such humiliations because Uber drivers refused to carry her and her dog on 14 different occasions — a number of which happened after Uber finalized its 2016 settlement. "Uber allowed drivers who discriminated against disabled riders to continue driving without discipline," an arbitrator concluded this week (via The... |
| A cable company that prided itself on no data caps says you’re getting data caps because pizza Posted: 03 Apr 2021 12:04 PM PDT  Internet data caps are not like pizza — where taking a slice could mean fewer slices for everyone else. I don't think Verge readers have trouble understanding this concept? It's been well-established that ISPs have no trouble delivering unlimited data, even during — say — a global pandemic when vast throngs of the population have suddenly found themselves working from home. This, however, did not stop WideOpenWest (aka WOW!) from using pizza to justify brand-new, possibly-never-before-seen data caps for its cable internet subscribers, starting June 1st, 2021, as Ars Technica reports. Here's a portion of the email subscribers are receiving:

| The ultimate Lego Star Wars game has been delayed again, indefinitely, and that’s OK Posted: 03 Apr 2021 11:08 AM PDT  If you've been eagerly waiting for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to fulfill the incredible promise of its stirring trailer from last August (see above), I have some bittersweet news: the game's been delayed again. Developer TT Games tweeted on Friday that "we won't be able to make our intended Spring release date," which itself was a delay from the game's original 2020 launch window.
Bittersweet, because the delay does come with the promise that it'll be the company's "biggest and best-ever LEGO game," which is exactly what that trailer looked like last fall. It's been sixteen years since the first Lego Star Wars, a... |
| 25 years later, Space Jam has a new website — and the first trailer for the sequel Posted: 03 Apr 2021 09:41 AM PDT  Since 1996, spacejam.com has been an internet time capsule like few others still in existence — a largely pristine sample of the early World Wide Web and all the most advanced multimedia offerings available at the time, such as animated GIFs and Windows 95 screensavers. But 25 years later, it's finally been supplanted; the new sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy, starring LeBron James, has taken over the URL to showcase the new movie's very first trailer. Here's what spacejam.com looks like today: But before you go boycotting the sequel, you should probably know that the original Space Jam website isn't dead yet. In fact, it's just one click away at spacejam.com/1996, and the new website lets you that original Space Jam logo... |
| We’re on the knife’s edge of the pandemic Posted: 03 Apr 2021 07:00 AM PDT  This is a surreal moment in the pandemic, brimming with hope and fear. Here in the US we're at the last leg in a marathon — vaccines are here, and appointments to get those shots are becoming more plentiful. People are planning for the moments they've put off for a year or more. The finish line is in sight. At the exact same time, our will to power through to the end just slammed into a wall. Restrictions are lifting while cases are still high, sending case counts through the roof. Hospitals are getting crowded again. Testing has dropped, leaving us with incomplete information as new variants take hold. "We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope," said Rochelle... |
| These tech deals contain zero April Fool-ery Posted: 03 Apr 2021 06:00 AM PDT  Welcome to April. This month began with, frankly, too many brands insisting on making fools out of themselves. But now that the prankster holiday is behind us, we're focused on deals that are still happening. This has been a fun week to write about deals because a little bit of everything has seen a discount. There have been several deals lately on game subscriptions, so my colleague Taylor Lyles put together a big up-to-date guide to help you find the best prices. Nomad's Base Station Pro is half off until Saturday nightIf you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods and are still lamenting the fact that the AirPower charging mat never released, check out this deal. Nomad's Base Station Pro does what the AirPower promised to do —... |
| Amazon apologizes for lying about pee — and attempts to shift the blame Posted: 03 Apr 2021 01:33 AM PDT  Amazon has issued a rare public apology — but not to its workers, and with no real admission of guilt. Over a week ago, the company was caught publicly lying to Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) that its workers never feel the need to pee in water bottles (which is, in fact, a well-documented issue at Amazon because of how it robotically tracks and fires its laborers). Now, late on the Friday evening before Easter weekend, when few (hat tip to GeekWire) are paying attention, the company is apologizing to Pocan — and no one else. Amazon only apologizes for not being "accurate" enough, too — not for actually creating and contributing to situations where workers pee in bottles. In... |
