| Apple’s excuse for no AirTag in Siri Remote: it’s too thick to easily lose in your couch Posted: 21 May 2021 05:41 PM PDT  We have poked a considerable amount of fun at the Apple TV's Siri Remote over the years, and we're pleased to say it's finally fixed — except for the headsmacking decision not to stick the company's AirTag UWB locator technology into one of the few gadgets absolutely, positively guaranteed to get lost in your couch cushions someday. Why? Today, Apple VP Tim Twerdahl answered that burning question in perhaps the most unsatisfactory way imaginable: simply, that the new TV remote's thick enough you shouldn't need to worry about that much anymore. Here's the whole exchange between Twerdahl and MobileSyrup's Patrick O'Rourke:

| A 20-year-old Xbox Easter egg has been revealed, and there may still be more Posted: 21 May 2021 03:42 PM PDT  Kotaku has revealed an Easter egg that's been hidden on the original Xbox for almost twenty years, after a developer who worked on the console sent in a tip. The Easter egg, which has apparently remained secret until now, can show you the Xbox Dashboard Team's names after you follow a byzantine set of steps (as is par for the course when it comes to some video game secrets). Kotaku was able to find someone with a working Xbox who could actually carry out those steps, which you can see in the publication's video below. If you've got one of the consoles, you can try it out for yourself by ripping a CD as a soundtrack and calling it "Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" (using 26 "y"s to reach the maximum amount of characters allowed). After... |
| Tim Cook faces harsh questions about the App Store from judge in Fortnite trial Posted: 21 May 2021 02:03 PM PDT  Apple called CEO Tim Cook to conclude three weeks of testimony in Epic v. Apple — and with the end of the trial approaching, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers engaged Cook in a surprisingly tense exchange over Apple's business model. Rogers noted that most of Apple's App Store revenue comes from games, and she asked Cook why developers can't use other payment methods to sell in-app purchases, or at least tell users they can make those transactions elsewhere. "If they wanted to go and get a cheaper Battle Pass or V-Bucks, and they don't know they've got that option, what is the problem with Apple giving them that option?" she asked. "If we allowed people to link out like that, we would in essence give up our total return on our [intellectual... |
| What’s the best student laptop? We asked students Posted: 21 May 2021 01:15 PM PDT  Shopping for a laptop can be stressful — doubly stressful if you or your children will be learning online for the first time. Kids of different ages have a range of different laptop use cases and different needs. And as the choices for best laptop and best Chromebook evolve, so do students' needs. So I spoke to some experts on the subject: students themselves. My recommendations here are meant to accommodate a variety of preferences and price ranges. But they're a jumping-off point rather than an exhaustive list: every student is different. Before making a decision, you'll want to make sure you read reviews and try out devices yourself if you can. I'll do my best to keep this article up to date with items that are in stock. Best laptop... |
| New research shows how many important links on the web get lost to time Posted: 21 May 2021 01:00 PM PDT  A quarter of the deep links in The New York Times' articles are now rotten, leading to completely inaccessible pages, according to a team of researchers from Harvard Law School, who worked with the Times' digital team. They found that this problem affected over half of the articles containing links in the NYT's catalog going back to 1996, illustrating the problem of link rot and how difficult it is for context to survive on the web. The study looked at over 550,000 articles, which contained over 2.2 million links to external websites. It found that 72 percent of those links were "deep," or pointing to a specific page rather than a general website. Predictably, it found that, as time went on, links were more likely to be dead: 6 percent... |
| Twitch launches a dedicated ‘hot tubs’ category after advertiser pushback Posted: 21 May 2021 12:31 PM PDT  Twitch is launching a dedicated category for hot tub streams after claiming that it has received pushback from advertisers and viewers about how the trend has taken over the platform. The new "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category is meant to let creators stream what they want, while also giving Twitch advertisers a more convenient way to prevent ads from running on streams that they don't approve of. Earlier this week, Twitch pulled advertising from some hot tub streamers without warning. In a statement sent to The Verge today, the company said that was a mistake. "We did not alert impacted creators at the time, and we should have–our creators rely on us," a spokesperson said. Twitch said the ads were suspended at advertisers' request... |
| How to create an Instagram carousel Posted: 21 May 2021 12:13 PM PDT  Editor's note: According to a Facebook company spokesperson, the issue described below with the iOS carousel feature is attributable to a bug: "We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing the 'Select Multiple' photos feature in Instagram due to a bug in the latest iOS update and are working on a solution." Whenever we use an app continuously, any change to the UI of that app can cause stress — and during these stressful times, who needs more? For example, in a recent update, Instagram tweaked the way it asks its users to create carousels (groups of up to 10 photos or videos that rotate through a single post), and this is apparently causing a bit of confusion. This new method was pointed out in the Instagram account Digital... |
| Citizen, the vigilante justice app, has a plan to deploy private security forces, too Posted: 21 May 2021 12:13 PM PDT  This morning, The Verge published a story about how Citizen — an app that appears to encourage vigilante justice — encouraged its users to hunt down the wrong person and presumably bring them to justice, in the mistaken assumption that person had started the 1,158-acre Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles last week. The company offered a $30,000 bounty. Now, we're learning the same company is apparently planning to offer its own private security forces to users, according to a new report from Motherboard. In fact, one Citizen-branded patrol car has already been spotted in the wild:

| HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay turns the stuffy late-night talk show into a party Posted: 21 May 2021 12:12 PM PDT  There's a quality that some long-running chat podcasts have that can feel like a brick wall for new listeners. Existing relationships, in-jokes, and context that friends and co-hosts have are additional barriers to feeling like you're a part of the conversation. The casual hangout and chat format is tantalizing for its naturalism, but it also comes with parasocial relationships as baggage. Which makes HBO's new late-night project, Pause with Sam Jay, so intriguing. It has hangout podcasts in its DNA, but it's also out to reinvent a decades-old late-night format. Pause is co-created by Sam Jay, stand-up comedian and Saturday Night Live writer, and Prentice Penny, showrunner and executive producer of Insecure. It feels fresh for some... |
| I do not understand this chair Posted: 21 May 2021 12:02 PM PDT  It started with a tweet from Roadshow editor-in-chief Tim Stevens. A picture of a chair that seemed to effortlessly skim the line between office chair, La-Z-Boy recliner, and Victorian throne. An utter affront to design, taste, and style. This chair:
The tweet first crossed my timeline yesterday, and my mind has been consumed for the past 24 hours by the very existence of this chair. Why does it exist? Has anyone actually bought one? Does the chair come with a menacing-looking cat to hold when spinning around to fire your minions? Are you... |
