Simple bank shutdown goes awry leaving customers without account access

Posted: 09 May 2021 02:45 PM PDT

simple card

The online bank Simple shut down on Saturday and was supposed to seamlessly transition customers' accounts over to its parent company, BBVA. But instead, many users found themselves unable to access their bank account at all, as BBVA's website returned an assortment of error messages, from "system error" to warnings that their account information was mismatched.

The transition has gone so poorly that BBVA's US website now opens on a large red banner warning users of extended customer service wait times. Anyone who visits the Simple transition page will see a different red banner, apologizing for the issues.

"To Simple customers converting to BBVA: This has not been a good conversion experience for many of you," part of the message reads....

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is literally launching a Dogecoin-funded satellite to the Moon

SpaceX is now accepting Dogecoin, and it'll be paid exclusively in the cryptocurrency to launch an upcoming satellite named DOGE-1 to — yes — the Moon.

The DOGE-1 is a cubesat meant to acquire "lunar-spatial intelligence" using onboard cameras and sensors. It's being sent and paid for by a company named Geometric Energy Corporation, and it'll be flown up on a Falcon 9 rocket in the first quarter of 2022.

Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that started out as a goofy meme and is now a somewhat more valuable goofy meme, has been on the rise lately, with enough trading around spikes in the currency to cause crashes of the trading app Robinhood. Elon Musk is the coin's highest profile supporter, tweeting Dogecoin memes, referring to himself as the...

The Call of Duty League’s champions are being honored at Verdansk Stadium in Warzone

Posted: 09 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT

The champions of the first season of the Call of Duty League are being honored in a unique way: with their faces plastered at the stadium in Call of Duty: Warzone. Today, Activision revealed that the front entrance to Verdansk Stadium in Warzone will soon display a giant rendition of the CDL trophy, along with pennants featuring all five members of the Dallas Empire who were crowned champions for the 2020 season.

It's a unique kind of crossover and an example of how game developers and publishers are able to leverage popular games to promote esports. In the past, games like League of Legends and Overwatch have introduced unique skins to celebrate championship teams or players. But this move by the CDL is more akin to traditional sports,...

Clubhouse comes to Android after more than a year of iOS exclusivity

Clubhouse

After more than a year of iOS exclusivity, social audio platform Clubhouse is releasing its Android app. It will be available in beta on Google's mobile OS today in the US, allowing users to sign up and participate in its audio-only chat rooms.

"Our plan over the next few weeks is to collect feedback from the community, fix any issues we see and work to add a few final features like payments and club creation before rolling it out more broadly," the company said in a blog post.

The Android app, which the company says has been the top request from its community by far, will roll out to other English-speaking markets and the rest of the world in the days and weeks ahead, the company said. Users outside the US will be able to pre-register...

Watch Elon Musk play Wario, parody SpaceX, and hype dogecoin on Saturday Night Live

As you've surely heard, last night's guest host on Saturday Night Live was not a charismatic movie actor promoting a new project but instead an endlessly hyped CEO named Elon Musk. Over the course of an hour and a half, SNL had Musk dress up as a misunderstood Wario, mock some of his more questionable ideas during a cowboy sketch, and play a version of himself set some years into a future where SpaceX has made it to Mars. Musk's partner, Grimes, also made a cameo appearance as Princess Peach. I'll let you guess which sketch.

While the show was streamed internationally on YouTube last night, those of us in the United States who don't pay for cable were stuck waiting for clips to appear the following morning. As of press time, it is now...

New trailers: A Quiet Place 2, Stranger Things 4, Loki, and more

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT

I'm sticking with The Handmaid's Tale for now; in the latest episode we see a lot of very improbable situations that need to happen in order to move the plot along but at last, finally, the main story moves away from Gilead. Does that mean things are going well for June? I don't think it's a major spoiler to say "nope, not really." But we get to see some backstory for Janine, who asks June some uncomfortable questions in the present. More of that, please. The back half of the season looks promising.

Our trailers this week have a theme of sorts: Sequels. Trailers for the sequels to A Quiet Place and Stranger Things, and third trailers for Loki and In the Heights.

A Quiet Place Part 2

As my colleague Alex Cranz noted, this movie had its...

Apple Shortcuts is great, but it needs a notification toggle

Posted: 09 May 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Apple's Shortcuts app is a fantastic piece of iOS, a nearly limitless corner of the operating system that lets users automate almost anything they can think of, limited only by imagination and ability to use Apple's coding system (Federico Viticci's comprehensive collection on MacStories is a great place to start.) But Shortcuts has an issue so awful it renders it one of the most annoying parts of my phone, instead of one of the most useful: Apple insists on always showing notifications when I do something, and it's virtually impossible to turn it off.

Yes, I am aware that there is an extremely janky hack for disabling notifications on Shortcuts on a global level. The trick, as detailed by HowToGeek, involves going to the Screen Time...

Dogecoin is crashing while Elon Musk is on Saturday Night Live 

Posted: 08 May 2021 09:52 PM PDT

While Elon Musk hosted Saturday Night Live, Dogecoin investors sold. When SNL first went live, the cryptocurrency hovered around 69 cents (nice). But as the show wore on, the price dropped. As of this writing, it is worth 56 cents, an 18 percent plunge.

There was a slight recovery when Musk — on "Weekend Update," SNL's parody news program — explained to a bewildered Michael Che and Colin Jost what Dogecoin was. ("A hustle," Che finally said, knowingly.) He also called himself the "Dogefather."

As if to celebrate, trading platform Robinhood promptly crashed for cryptocurrency users. Earlier this week, R...

Elon Musk’s SNL monologue poked fun at his public persona

Posted: 08 May 2021 09:32 PM PDT

Elon Musk on Saturday Night Live | NBC

Elon Musk opened his hosting gig on Saturday Night Live by acknowledging his public comments get him in trouble. "Sometimes after I say something I have to say 'I mean that,'" he said. He pointed to his "69 days after 4/20 again haha" tweet, but didn't mention the 2018 tweet that got him in hot water with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Musk said he was the first person with Asperger's to host SNL — something he hasn't said publicly before. It did not appear he was joking, but it was a bit difficult to be sure how sincere Musk was being, given his history as both an internet troll and someone who doesn't always know how to deliver a joke.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO joked that people sometimes don't know what to expect from him. "I...

Every other EV brand showed up to Elon Musk’s SNL

Posted: 08 May 2021 09:22 PM PDT

At least five of Tesla's competitors bought ad time during Saturday Night Live hosted by Elon Musk, using the billionaire's appearance to sell their own. non-Tesla EVs.

Commercials for the Audi E-tron, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID 4, and Lucid Air all aired within the first 30 minutes of SNL. Lucid Motors, a company founded by Peter Rawlinson, the former head engineer of the Tesla Model S who frequently clashes with Musk, teased its commercial earlier in the week. It was its debut commercial for the Lucid Air, a claimed 500-mile EV due later this year.

In his opening monologue,...
