| Spyra has a new digital water blaster that looks like it’ll blow the original away Posted: 27 May 2021 04:58 PM PDT  In 2018, we marveled over the Spyra One, an attempt to crowdfund a modern Super Soaker that could blast veritable bolts of water; refill itself from a pool; and maintain a digital ammo gauge of your shots, thanks to a heap of electronics, a self-pressurizing tank, and a battery you recharge via a standard USB-C port. The big catch: you had to be willing to risk north of $133 on an unproven Kickstarter that wound up shipping a year behind schedule. But not only did Spyra eventually manage to ship those blasters (11,000 of them, according to the company) it's now got a new version coming next month that sounds like a huge improvement in practically every way. The new Spyra Two fires faster, further, has twice the battery life,... |
| Tesla starts using in-car camera for Autopilot driver monitoring Posted: 27 May 2021 04:09 PM PDT  Tesla is starting to use the camera above the rear-view mirror in the Model 3 and Model Y to help make sure people pay attention to the road while using Autopilot, the company's advanced driver assistance system. Until now, the main way Tesla's cars measure driver attention is through torque sensors in the steering wheel that look for resistance — a crude way of ensuring drivers keep their hands on the wheel. If it doesn't register enough feedback, the car performs a series of escalating visual and audible warnings. The change comes after regulators and safety experts spent years begging Tesla to add better driver monitoring to its cars. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has even admitted that crashes involving Autopilot stem from complacency. But... |
| Oscar Isaac will star in Disney Plus’ Moon Knight series Posted: 27 May 2021 04:01 PM PDT Marvel has confirmed that Oscar Isaac will star in the Disney Plus Moon Knight series, bringing the Star Wars star to another highly lucrative side of the Disney empire. Moon Knight is one of several Marvel characters who seem to be inspired by DC Comics' Batman, and is certainly more of an obscure character to adapt, but as the company pivots into the next phase of movies and now shows, weirdness is on the menu. Moon Knight, or Marc Spector, is a mercenary possessed by an ancient Egyptian moon god named Khonshu. That possession is what gives him his superpowers but also multiple conflicting personalities, including a taxi driver, wealthy playboy, and masked vigilante. Marvel and Isaac's announcement — "WE ARE MOONKNIGHT" — seems to... |
| Google is now embroiled in a full class-action lawsuit over whether it underpaid women Posted: 27 May 2021 03:36 PM PDT  Four women who used to work for Google have won class-action status for their gender equity lawsuit against the search engine company, allowing them to represent some 10,800 women, Bloomberg reports. The lawsuit alleges that Google pays men more than women for the same work, in violation of California's Equal Pay Act, and that Google paid its female employees nearly $17,000 less per year than male counterparts in the same roles. The women filed the suit in 2017, claiming they were put into lower career tracks than their male colleagues— so-called "job ladders" that resulted in them receiving lower bonuses and salaries. The women have since left Google. "This is a significant day for women at Google and in the technology sector, and we... |
| Check if your Verizon or AT&T phone will keep working after the networks’ 3G shutdowns Posted: 27 May 2021 02:53 PM PDT  Major US wireless carriers are gearing up to shut down their old 3G networks — a process that has been fraught with delays and miscommunication as companies alert customers with older phones that it's time to upgrade. To that end, Verizon and AT&T have published guides to which devices will stop working after their 3G networks go offline next year. Here's what you need to know. Verizon has delayed its CDMA 3G network shutdown several times but is now firmly committed to shutting the network down by December 31st, 2022. All 3G basic phones and smartphones will lose service, but some 4G devices will be impacted as well — namely, those that don't support VoLTE (Voice over LTE). A few connected devices are affected, too; take a look at V... |
| Today I learned the PS5’s controller can buzz along to your music on Spotify Posted: 27 May 2021 02:39 PM PDT  The DualSense controller for PS5 has great haptic feedback for games like Returnal and Demon's Souls. But today I found out that it's also good at humming along to tunes on Spotify when plugged into a PC. While browsing Reddit, I stumbled across an ancient thread from six months ago where a user explained that, by plugging in a DualSense and tweaking a few settings, the device's built-in haptics motors will do their best to play your music from the Spotify app on Windows 10. If you press your ear to the controller, it's like listening into the world's smallest rave ever, perhaps with a few Astro Bots in attendance. I assume you just ran to go get your controller to try this out — because that's the same reaction that I had. Okay, but... |
| Watch 14 minutes of stunning Horizon Forbidden West gameplay Posted: 27 May 2021 02:33 PM PDT  Sony showed off 14 minutes of Horizon Forbidden West gameplay on a PS5 in a new State of Play presentation on Thursday. In the footage, protagonist Aloy fought against some giant animal-like machines and some human enemies on a beautiful post-apocalyptic beach settlement. The presentation revealed that Aloy has some new tools to get around in Forbidden West, like a diving mask to let her dive underwater and a Breath of the Wild-like hang glider. And much like in the first game, it looks like you'll still be slinging a lot of arrows against your enemies, both human and machine. Horizon Forbidden West, a sequel to the hugely successful Horizon Zero Dawn, is... |
| A company wants to build a massive solar project in Montana — of course it’s for crypto Posted: 27 May 2021 01:45 PM PDT  A company looking to build a massive solar project in Butte, Montana claims it would provide 300MW of renewable power and cost $250 million, Gizmodo reported. That's according to Madison River Equity LLC, whose parent company also manages cryptomining outfit Atlas Power. As Gizmodo reports, Madison would build the solar array, then sell it to Atlas, which hopes to use it to power its cryptocurrency mining operations. If the solar farm, dubbed the Basin Creek Solar Project, is actually built, it could be one of the largest in the US, but it raises questions about the impact of such projects, and about crypto's impact on energy. While the project would theoretically allow Atlas' mining and other data center operations to run on renewable... |
| Industry groups sue to stop Florida’s new social media law Posted: 27 May 2021 01:18 PM PDT  Two tech industry organizations have sued Florida over its newly passed rules for social networks. NetChoice and the CCIA — which represent Amazon, Google, Intel, Samsung, Facebook, and other tech giants — say SB 7072 violates private companies' constitutional rights. They're asking a court to prevent the law from taking effect, calling it a "frontal assault on the First Amendment." SB 7072, which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed earlier this week, restricts how large social apps and websites can moderate user-generated content. It makes banning any Florida political candidate or "journalistic enterprise" unlawful, lets users sue if they believe they were banned without sufficient reason, requires an option to "opt out" of sorting... |
| Go watch this incredible web series about a Cyberpunk Salad Merchant Posted: 27 May 2021 01:13 PM PDT  After three years of production, Ian Hubert, king of the one-minute Blender tutorial, has uploaded the first episode of his sci-fi series, Dynamo Dream. And it's been worth the wait. The series is a mix of live-action and CGI that follows a salad merchant on a seemingly normal day through the dense streets of the Sunset District, a futuristic metropolis filled with fax machine drones, giant mutant crabs blocking traffic, and flying assassin bots. The episode is visually stunning and seems to be endlessly filled with details. Every frame can be paused and observed, each containing hints to an expansive world that stretches beyond the camera's frame. The world is convincing and surprisingly charming. While bearing resemblance to other... |
