| Tamagotchi’s new smartwatch lets you strap a needy digital pet to your wrist Posted: 18 Jun 2021 03:00 AM PDT  Everyone's favorite digital pet, the Tamagotchi, is being reinvented for its 25th anniversary. The new Tamagotchi Smart puts the creature into a colorful smartwatch, allowing you to strap your digital pet — and all the chores that come with it — directly to your wrist. Kotaku reports that the new device features a touchscreen for petting your little friend, voice recognition for chatting, and a pedometer. Oh, and it can also display the time. Neat. After their original release of the Tamagotchi in the late 90s, there was a global flurry of enthusiasm, leading to a spin-off anime series, video games, and a movie. The Tamagotchi Smart is fundamentally very similar to the 90s toys, but benefits from 25 years of tech progress. Its screen is... |
| Taiwan’s government is letting its tech giants TSMC and Foxconn buy COVID-19 vaccines on its behalf Posted: 18 Jun 2021 02:29 AM PDT  Last year, Taiwan was held up as a model example of how to control the pandemic. Now, with a rising case-count threatening the country's vital tech industry in the middle of a global semiconductor shortage, its government is letting its powerful corporations buy COVID-19 vaccines on its behalf. It's an unusual workaround, but one that makes sense given Taiwan's complaints that China scuppered earlier deals. As reported by Nikkei Asia and Reuters, the Taiwanese government said on Friday that it would allow chipmaker TSMC and Terry Gou, billionaire founder of tech assembly giant Foxconn, to negotiate on its behalf with vaccine makers. Both TSMC and Gou (who will be working through his Yonglin Education Foundation) said they hope to buy... |
| Spotify acquires podcast discovery specialists Podz Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:33 AM PDT  Spotify has acquired Podz, a startup whose technology generates preview clips of podcasts, the streaming service has announced. Unlike other services podcasters can use to manually create clips, TechCrunch says Podz automates the process of finding key moments from episodes using machine learning trained on over 100,000 hours of audio. The acquisition is aimed at improving podcast discovery, letting users browse short clips rather than 30-minute plus podcast episodes. Spotify says this will make it "easier for listeners to find the content they want to listen to, and for creators to be discovered and build a fan base." Podz tells TechCrunch that users on its platform typically follow up to 30 podcasts, up from an average of seven. |
| New Oculus Quest update adds multitasking and wireless streaming for original headset Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:34 PM PDT  Facebook is rolling out its v30 update to the Oculus Quest and Quest 2 VR headsets. As previewed earlier this week by Mark Zuckerberg, v30 includes a new multitasking interface for Infinite Office that lets you put multiple apps side by side, including the browser, Oculus TV, Oculus Move, the store, and so on. Like many new Oculus Quest features, it'll be found in the Experimental section of the settings menu at first. Once multitasking is enabled, apps can be dragged up from the menu bar or the apps library and snapped into position. The v30 update also enables Air Link for the original Quest headset. Air Link came to the Quest 2 in April and allows you to stream VR games from your PC to your headset wirelessly, as opposed to Oculus... |
| Microsoft Flight Simulator adds beautiful Nordic views in its latest update Posted: 17 Jun 2021 03:22 PM PDT  Just in time for the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series consoles next month, developer Asobo Studios has added some extra details that players will appreciate. World Update V is focused on the Nordic region (specifically Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden), bringing stunning vistas to an already visually impressive title. A brief trailer shows the payoff for some extra attention on landscapes (so many fjords) and urban areas with detailed architecture for you to fly around showing off everything from ancient castles to modern stadiums, towers and bridges. According to the team, the new areas include "100 airports and 77 carefully selected points of interest." You can see Lego House and Frederiksborg Castle in... |
| Google Meet’s hand-raising feature is getting a more visible animation Posted: 17 Jun 2021 03:14 PM PDT  Google Meet, Google's answer to video calling services like Zoom, is getting a collection of helpful tweaks to its hand-raising feature as part of ongoing updates to Workspace. The new changes, spotted by 9to5Google, include a new hand-raising animation, notification sound, and adjustments to how hosts are made aware of raised hands. While the update is minor, for anyone who uses Google Meet in a large group setting or regularly attends webinars, the tweaks will be helpful — plus, the new animation really is nice. Here's Google's breakdown of the changes you'll notice as the update rolls out to Workspace users:

| PUBG Mobile returns to India after ban with green blood and a new name Posted: 17 Jun 2021 02:14 PM PDT  Massively popular battle royale game PUBG Mobile is returning to India after being banned in September 2020, TechCrunch writes. The app is available in early access on Google's Play Store under a new name, Battlegrounds Mobile India, and with some changes to the game itself, like green blood and a new account system. PUBG Mobile was initially banned alongside hundreds of other apps because of connections to Chinese companies — in this game's case, it was major video game investor Tencent. At the time of the ban, PUBG Studio (owned by the larger South Korean company Krafton) announced that it would relaunch in the region with new features customized for Indian gamers, including the color change to blood, and framing the game explicitly as... |
| The PlayStation 5 is available through Sony’s store Posted: 17 Jun 2021 02:04 PM PDT  More than six months after its initial debut, the PlayStation 5 remains as elusive as ever. Sony also expects console shortages to stretch into 2022, however, at 5:15PM ET / 2:15PM PT, both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition will be available at Sony's store. You can head to that site right now, and the page will automatically toss you into the queue to (hopefully) secure a PS5 from the batch being released into the wild today. Sony says that you don't need to refresh the page, but make sure that you stick around once the queue begins because it'll likely ask you at some point to verify that you're still present, or else you might be booted from the queue. If it's your first time, welcome to the needless drama involved with buying a PS5. S... |
| Nielsen takes another crack at gauging our streaming habits Posted: 17 Jun 2021 01:55 PM PDT  Nielsen, the nearly century-old research firm which produces the eponymous gold standard for television ratings, is taking a more serious look into how much Americans are streaming. The result of its labors: an ominously named rating system it calls The Gauge. While Nielsen has tried to calculate the popularity of various streaming programs before (through audio analysis), The Gauge seems to hew closer to the ways Nielsen has measured TV viewership in the past: via a device which, according to The New York Times, "observes internet traffic that passes through a router." Presumably, this device is attached directly to the televisions of the roughly 14,000 homes from which The Gauge currently gathers data, as the Times once again reports... |
| The Xbox Series X is available at Walmart (Update: Sold out) Posted: 17 Jun 2021 01:15 PM PDT  Update June 17th, 4:15PM ET: Walmart appears to have sold out of Series X consoles for today. I hope that you got one! Microsoft's next-gen console may have arrived, but getting your hands on an Xbox Series X isn't exactly easy. Much like the PlayStation 5, Microsoft's console remains in short supply due to increased demand and ongoing chip shortages, a problem that will likely extend into 2022. Thankfully, if you haven't managed to secure either console, the Series X is available at Walmart right now for $499.99. (Walmart is releasing new waves of consoles every 10 minutes for now, so check again if you strike out.) If you're not sure how the Series X differs from the more affordable but weaker Series S console, there a few things to... |
