| Google reportedly made it difficult for smartphone users to find privacy settings Posted: 29 May 2021 03:06 PM PDT  Unredacted documents in Arizona's lawsuit against Google show that company executives and engineers were aware that the search giant had made it hard for smartphone users to keep location information private, Insider reported. The documents suggest that Google collected location data even after users had turned off location sharing, and made privacy settings difficult for users to find. Insider also reports that the documents show Google pressured phone manufacturers into keeping privacy settings hidden, because the settings were popular with users. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit against Google last May, alleging the company illegally tracked Android users' location without their consent, even if users had... |
| NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured amazing images of clouds on Mars Posted: 29 May 2021 02:18 PM PDT  NASA's Curiosity rover has captured images of clouds on Mars— as described in its blog post: "wispy puffs filled with ice crystals that scattered light from the setting sun, some of them shimmering with color." According to NASA clouds are rare in the thin atmosphere of Mars, but usually form at its equator during its coldest time of year. Scientists noticed that last year — two years ago in Earth time— there were clouds beginning to form earlier than expected, so this year they were ready. The images are not only stunning, they've provided new insights to the Curiosity team at NASA. The... |
| US soldiers reportedly leaked nuclear info online accidentally, by using flashcard apps Posted: 29 May 2021 12:15 PM PDT  US soldiers stationed in Europe may have accidentally exposed information about the United States' nuclear weapons stockpile when they used flashcard apps to help them remember details about the information, according to a report from open-source intelligence outlet Bellingcat. Foeke Postma, a researcher with Bellingcat, wrote that the soldiers used study apps such as Chegg, Cram, and Quizlet to create flashcards where they stored information about bases in Europe where US nuclear weapons were likely located, secret codes, passwords, and other details about security. It appears that they forgot to set the settings for the apps to "private," so that their usernames and photos were public-facing, and since some of the soldiers used the... |
| Fitbit may soon be adding snoring detection to its devices Posted: 29 May 2021 07:45 AM PDT  Fitbit may soon add snoring and noise detection to its devices, a move that will likely please the spouses and partners of the snoring population and be of interest to people for whom snoring is a sign of a possible health condition. According to a report in 9to5 Google, which decompiled the latest version of the Fitbit app in Google's Play Store, the feature allows a Fitbit's microphone (in devices that have one) to listen to "ambient noise including your potential snoring," after you've fallen asleep. Not only would the feature be a major drain on the device's battery, the idea of a sleep tracker monitoring noise "throughout the night," as the release notes state, is a little creepy. The 9to5 Google report says the feature is called... |
| The future of COVID-19 immunity looks good Posted: 29 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT  Our COVID-19 vaccines have passed their first tests with flying colors. They work unbelievably well, and they're helping to slow the spread of disease in countries where they're widely available. Now, scientists are turning to the next key question: how long will they work that well? In people who were sick with COVID-19 and then got vaccinated, new research shows that they probably work for years. That group has powerful memory cells in their bone marrow that produce new antibodies when they're needed. And they work so well that they can even block variants of the virus, studies show. These people may not even need vaccine boosters to stay protected long term. Protection may be different for people who got vaccinated but never had... |

| Elon Musk tweets Tesla Model S Plaid delivery to be delayed until June 10th Posted: 29 May 2021 05:49 AM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Saturday that deliveries of the automaker's Model S Plaid would be delayed until June 10th because the car needs "one more week of tweak." "This car feels like a spaceship," tweeted Musk, who is also CEO of SpaceX. "Words cannot describe the limbic resonance." The company has been teasing the Plaid since 2019, and Musk tweeted on May 20th that Tesla would hold a delivery event June 3rd at its factory in Fremont, California.
Tesla showed off the Model S Plaid as part of its Battery Day presentation last September. It's a... |
