Nikon’s Z FC is a film camera revival in mirrorless form

Posted: 28 Jun 2021 09:01 PM PDT

Nikon is going all-in on the retro aesthetic with its latest Z-series mirrorless camera. The company says the new Z FC, officially styled "Z fc," is designed specifically to evoke its FM2 film SLR from the '80s, with dedicated dials for settings like shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO.

The approach is similar to the Nikon DF, a retro-style full-frame DSLR that Nikon released in 2013. But the DF was much larger than the film cameras it was inspired by. The Z FC has a 20.9-megapixel APS-C sensor (and of course no SLR mirror and prism), which means the resulting camera is far more compact and looks a lot closer to something like an FM2.

Beyond the exterior, the Z FC is a modern camera with broadly similar specs to...

LG’s C1 and G1 OLEDs get even better at gaming with 120Hz Dolby Vision

Posted: 28 Jun 2021 06:05 PM PDT

With Dolby Vision gaming HDR technology available on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, some TV owners have noticed that suddenly there's a new setting to worry over. While some HDMI 2.1-equipped 4K displays could handle 120Hz, and some can support Dolby Vision for gaming, at first there weren't any that could do both things at once.

Now LG has confirmed it's the first manufacturer with Dolby Vision HDR at 4K 120Hz support on some of its TVs, just a couple of weeks after owners noticed it arriving in updates. The 03.15.27 firmware enables the feature on C1 and G1 2021 OLED TVs, and today LG says support is on the way for other premium TVs in its 2021 lineup.

Additional premium models in LG's 2021 TV lineup such as OLED Z1 series, QNED...

The alternative social network Parler and representatives of former president Donald Trump were reportedly considering an idea to make Trump an active member of the platform after he left office, but Parler apparently pushed back on one key part of the proposed arrangement: the platform did not want to ban Trump's detractors, according to an excerpt of Michael Wolff's upcoming book about the last days of Trump's presidency published in New York Magazine.

Here's what was going on, according to Wolff:

One curious point of consideration for the [Trump] family [the morning of January 6th] — prescient of the events that would shortly unfold — was a follow-up to a discussion initiated some months before by aides and family. Trump...

Juul has agreed to settle its first state lawsuit over deceptive business practices with North Carolina, a move that will limit the vaping company's marketing claims and placement of products in stores.

Under the settlement, Juul will no longer use marketing strategies geared toward young people, including most social media marketing campaigns, advertising near schools, and sponsoring sporting events or concerts. The company also cannot use models under 35 years old for advertisements in the state, and it's required that Juul products are sold behind the counters of stores, according to The News & Observer. Juul will also pay a $40 million fine to the state.

"North Carolina is now the first state in the nation to hold Juul accountable...

If you've been experiencing the bug where the iOS version of Snapchat crashes at launch, it seems that there's now an update to fix it available in the App Store. The bug that's been fixed by the update didn't appear to have affected the Android version of the app.

Before updating to the latest version, 11.34.1.35, the app would give me a message that something went wrong, before crashing to Springboard on my iPhone 12 Mini. Now, I'm no longer getting the error, and have successfully been able to send a Snap.

This is what the bug looked like when it was present:

The Snapchat Support Twitter account hasn't yet tweeted about the fix (despite having a pinned...

Microsoft is announcing that the next version of Office for Windows 11 will have a native 64-bit Arm version, for improved performance on large or picture-filled documents, and support for 64-bit add-ins. The new version of Office is currently in beta, available to Office Insiders.

Microsoft also announced a redesign of Office, which you can see above and below. While it uses a similar design to Windows 11, it'll be available whether you're running the Windows 11 Preview or Windows 10. In addition to the new design, Office will also adapt to your Windows light / dark mode, so you should be able to avoid the experience of opening a document and having it blast light into your eyes at night.

SoftBank has reportedly halted production of its Pepper robot

SoftBank is reportedly restructuring its robotics business and has already halted production of its Pepper robot, according to Reuters. Robotics is just one of many businesses the large Japanese firm has invested in, but potentially permanently ending production of Pepper is notable because of the robot's role as a sort of unofficial mascot for the company.

SoftBank plans to lay off 330 staff members based in France, the original home of SoftBank's robotics efforts, and apparently half of the division's sales team in the UK and the US, Reuters writes. Production of Pepper robots was reportedly halted last year and would be costly to restart, Reuters' sources claim. We've reached out to SoftBank to confirm the details of the report.

Google-owned YouTube will have its name on a new live event venue in Inglewood, California, part of the new Hollywood Park mixed-use development, the companies announced Monday.

If the internet has looked a little empty to you over the last day or so, check to see if your browser is using AdBlock or Adblock Plus. According to several users, ad blockers have inadvertently wiped out the content they're looking for on a number of mainstream sites.

It's unclear exactly what caused the problem, but the issue should either resolve itself or it can be fixed by going into settings and requesting an update for your filter lists. In an email, the Adblock Plus support channel confirmed the problem "has already been fixed" without going in depth about what it was. Several posts on social media pointed to a recent change in filtering that works in other blockers but was interpreted by Adblock Plus to block content tagged as...
