| Facebook will no longer stop the spread of a theory that COVID-19 was manufactured Posted: 26 May 2021 06:08 PM PDT  Facebook won't remove claims that COVID-19 was man-made anymore, according to a report from Politico that cites a Facebook spokesperson. The company altered its policy because of a renewed focus on the origins of the virus, including an order from President Joe Biden to his intelligence agencies to investigate the so-called lab-leak hypothesis. Facebook's policy change was made "in consultation with public health experts," that spokesperson told Politico. The social network's policy mandates that false claims and conspiracy theories about the virus be removed. Misinformation has often circulated on Facebook, including during the Ebola crisis in 2014. The company is under... |
| LeBron James may have just proved the unannounced Beats Studio Buds are real Posted: 26 May 2021 05:41 PM PDT  Earlier this month, an unannounced pair of Beats wireless earbuds, apparently called the Beats Studio Buds, showed up in beta releases of iOS and tvOS. While those betas were a good start, a flood of new leaks — including actual photos of mystery earbuds from superstar athlete LeBron James — suggest that they could be available very soon. Here's what we already knew: on May 17th, people digging into the iOS and tvOS 14.6 betas found evidence of the new headphones, with perhaps the clearest look at them coming from animations in the OS shared by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser (he has a whole thread of them here):
This week, the Beats... |
| You can join Twitter’s Clubhouse-like Spaces rooms from a browser starting Wednesday Posted: 26 May 2021 04:37 PM PDT  You'll be able to join Twitter's Clubhouse-like Spaces from desktop and mobile web browsers starting Wednesday, the company announced, making the company's social audio rooms much more widely accessible. Previously, you could only join Spaces from Twitter's iOS and Android apps. You can get a look at what a Spaces look like on the web in screenshots below, from Twitter. The image on the left shows what you'll see before joining a Space. The one on the right shows a Space off to the side so you can continue scrolling through Twitter while you listen.

| The PS5 will be profitable next month — and Uncharted 4 is coming to PC Posted: 26 May 2021 04:33 PM PDT  In February, Sony revealed it was selling the PlayStation 5 at a loss — but that's imminently about to change. The PS5 should hit break-even in June, and become profitable the very same month, according to a presentation the company shared with investors (PDF) during its investor day today. Needless to say, that's fast — happening before the company has even managed to catch up with demand, in the midst of a global chip shortage. (We bemoaned the needless drama of buying a PS5 just days ago!) Mind you, this is for the standard PS5, the one where Sony has to supply a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and pay as much as $8 per console in licensing fees, and charges you an extra $100 at retail. It's not clear if Sony's driveless PS5... |
| Uber finally recognizes UK driver union in historic agreement Posted: 26 May 2021 03:01 PM PDT  Uber has finally recognized a union of its own drivers. Allow yourself that single moment of elation before we get to the rest of the details. GMB trade union in the UK (it's not really an acronym for anything, as it was shortened from General, Municipal, Boilermakers' and Allied Trade Union some 40 years ago) managed to clinch union recognition from the jaws of the famously labor-hostile app company today. As The Guardian reported, "GMB will have access to drivers' meeting hubs [...] It will also be able to represent drivers if they lose access to the Uber app, and it will meet quarterly with management to discuss driver issues and concerns." It's not clear whether this arrangement hews closer to traditional union representation as we... |
| SanDisk’s new card reader dock is all I could ever want and more Posted: 26 May 2021 02:50 PM PDT  Western Digital, owner of the SanDisk brand, has announced a new product called the Pro-Dock 4, and it's all I've ever wanted in a card reading solution: it lets you mix and match four card reading modules, which can all be read simultaneously, and connect them all to your computer using a single Thunderbolt 3 cable. This dock not only fills the hole that was left in my heart by Lexar's Workflow hub, but it makes me completely forget it existed: the Workflow didn't have Thunderbolt daisy-chaining or a 260W power supply for charging devices and accessories (though I will admit that Lexar's SSD modules were kind of neat). SanDisk says it'll be making modules for the dock that support CFast, CFexpress, Red's Mini-Mags, CF, microSD, and SD... |
| Stadia’s loss is Clubhouse’s gain: the social audio company has poached a longtime Google engineer Posted: 26 May 2021 02:38 PM PDT  Clubhouse has hired Justin Uberti, creator of the WebRTC standard and the Google Duo video chat app. He leaves Google after nearly 15 years at the company, where he was most recently the engineering lead for Google's Stadia cloud gaming service and led the team that made the Stadia iOS web app. "Justin is a phenomenal engineering leader and one of the original inventors of WebRTC, on top of which Clubhouse is built," Clubhouse co-founder and CTO Rohan Seth said in a statement. "There's so much that goes into crafting a fantastic audio experience — the quality, the latency, the ability to use spatial distance when multiple speakers are talking. This will be a critical area of investment for us as we open Clubhouse to the whole world, and... |
| Big Oil and Gas had a no good, very bad day Posted: 26 May 2021 02:25 PM PDT  Fossil fuel companies are having a big reckoning with climate change this week. Shareholders for Exxon and Chevron voted for measures that could force them to take more responsibility for their emissions, while a Dutch court is forcing Shell to slash its pollution. Taken altogether, the actions reflect a growing push for the energy sector to phase out fossil fuels. Major oil companies had already taken some steps to at least appear to address climate change, but activists are pushing for more action on a faster timeline to meet the scale of the climate crisis. Climate activist Bill McKibben called it a "watershed day," adding that the ruling against Shell could be "g... |
| The Boring Company tests its ‘Teslas in Tunnels’ system in Las Vegas Posted: 26 May 2021 01:44 PM PDT  Elon Musk's Boring Company started shuttling passengers through the twin tunnels it built underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) this week, as part of a test to get the system ready for its full debut in June. Videos, images, and accounts shared around the internet by the people who showed up for the test offer the most coherent glimpse yet at Musk's solution for traversing the LVCC campus. It is quite literally just Teslas being driven through two 0.8-mile tunnels — a far cry from the autonomous sled-and-shuttle ideas that Musk once proposed for The Boring Company. There are three stops to the "LVCC Loop" system. The stations at either end are above ground, while the one in the middle is at the same 30-foot depth as the... |
| Iran bans cryptocurrency mining for four months to stave off blackouts Posted: 26 May 2021 01:34 PM PDT  Iran is temporarily banning cryptocurrency mining after some of the country's major cities experienced repeated blackouts. President Hassan Rouhani said that the ban would last until September 22nd. The country has experienced summer blackouts in years past, and while the current round of outages is mostly being blamed on a drought that's affecting the country's ability to generate hydroelectric power, it seems that the Iranian government is eager to cut down on any aggravating factors. Power-hungry cryptocurrency mining operations, for instance. According to the BBC, Iran operates a program where Bitcoin miners must register with with the government, pay extra for electricity, and sell their coins to the central bank. President Rouhani... |
