Judge blocks Florida’s social media law

A Florida internet law is on hold while a lawsuit contesting it continues. Judge Robert Hinkle has issued a preliminary injunction blocking nearly all of SB 7072, a controversial and sweeping regulation of social media platforms.

"The legislation now at issue was an effort to rein in social-media providers deemed too large and too liberal. Balancing the exchange of ideas among private speakers is not a legitimate governmental interest," Hinkle wrote his order. Moreover, the law "discriminates on its face among otherwise identical speakers," partly thanks to an eyebrow-raising exemption for companies that operate a theme park. That raises the bar for evaluating whether the law violates the First Amendment — and in Hinkle's estimation, it...

Google is opening up Android's built-in passes system to let Android users store a digital vaccine card, which it calls a COVID Card, on their phone. The feature will initially roll out in the US, and it will rely on support from healthcare providers, local governments, or other organizations authorized to distribute COVID vaccines. The feature will also support storing COVID test results.

For vaccinations, your COVID Card will show info on when you were vaccinated and which vaccine you received, according to a Google support page. The card can be saved from your healthcare provider's app or website as well as from texts or emails sent to you.

Google recommends that you add a shortcut to the card on your home screen and will offer the...

Twitter now lets you set a security key as your only two-factor authentication method

In March, Twitter said it would soon let you use a security key as your only two-factor authentication method, and on Wednesday, it announced that feature was live on both mobile and web.

Being able to use a security key as one of your two-factor authentication methods isn't new, but now you can make it the only one, if you want to. Physical security keys have advantages over other two-factor methods like an authenticator app or SMS because they don't rely on a code that a bad actor could intercept.

Netflix has shared the first five minutes of its upcoming horror movie trilogy Fear Street, inspired by R.L. Stine's Fear Street series of young adult novels. The film trilogy, which will be released over three Fridays starting on July 2nd, is also split across three separate time periods: 1994, 1978, and 1666. Teens fleeing for their lives is universal, regardless of the year, it seems.

Here's Netflix's synopsis for the films:

In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations ​may all be connected — and that they may be the next targets.

As someone who grew up on Goosebumps and marathoned the made-for-TV movie adaptations of the books every Halloween, Fear Street seems like...

Music Widget brings back the original Mac OS X iTunes widget

Posted: 30 Jun 2021 03:11 PM PDT

Way back in 2005, Apple released Mac OS X Tiger, and with it, the original implementation of widgets on the Mac through its Dashboard software. One of those widgets was a now-defunct iTunes media player — but thanks to the efforts of programmer Mario Guzman, who's recreated an exact replica of the widget for modern Macs, you can once again enjoy your music in retro OS X style.

Ironically, the new Music Widget isn't actually a widget (at least, not in the current style of widgets introduced in last year's macOS Big Sur,) but rather a standalone app that mimics the look of the original iTunes widget from 2005. The app is fully functional, offering the same controls as the original. Music Widget only works with the Apple Music app, though—...

How to restore your iPhone from iOS 15 beta back to iOS 14

iOS 15 comes with a number of new features and tweaks | Image: Apple

Beta versions of new software are great to try out, but sometimes you realize that they're not so good for day-to-day usage. If you've upgraded your iPhone to the iOS 15 beta, which is now available to the public, and you realize that you need to go back to the stable world of iOS 14.6, you can do that.

The simplest way to go back to a stable version is to delete the iOS 15 beta profile and wait until the next update shows up:

  • Go to "Settings" > "General"
  • Select "Profiles and & Device Management"
  • Select "Remove Profile" and restart your iPhone

Unfortunately, you won't be able to return to a non-beta version of iOS until a new update is available. (You can check if one is available by going to "Settings" > "General" > "Software...

Instagram may be working on subscriber-only stories

Instagram appears to be exploring a new feature that shares some similarities with Twitter's Super Follows, according to TechCrunch. Called "Exclusive Stories," the possible future feature, spotted by developer Alessandro Paluzzi, allows creators to post exclusive content to their Instagram story that's presumably only available to subscribers.

Based on the screenshots Paluzzi shared, exclusive stories are differentiated in your feed with a purple tag (similar to how Close Friends posts have a green one). When you try to watch an exclusive story without being a fan of the person sharing, you're prompted with a pop-up that says only fans can watch.

Discord now lets you share a little more about yourself in your profile

Posted: 30 Jun 2021 02:24 PM PDT

Messaging app Discord has added the ability to customize your profile just a little bit more than you could before: on the desktop version of the app, you can now fill in a short "About Me" blurb, and, if you have Discord's premium Nitro subscription, you can add a banner image to your profile. Discord says it added these custom profiles on June 24th. I first noticed the change on Wednesday, but I haven't opened the app for a little while.

To make the changes, at least on the Mac version of the app, click on the User Settings gear, then the "User Profile" section. (That section had a bright red "New!" alert on it when I first opened up Discord settings.) From there, you can write a 190-character blurb about yourself (which can include...

Volvo’s new electric concept car is a ‘manifesto’ for the future

Posted: 30 Jun 2021 02:17 PM PDT

Volvo unveiled a new concept car that forecasts the Swedish automaker's all-electric future. The vehicle was revealed during a "Tech Day" event held Wednesday during which Volvo laid out an extensive roadmap to becoming an EV-only carmaker by 2030.

The vehicle, called "Concept Recharge," features suicide doors that open up to a roomy interior, where the lack of an internal combustion engine means more space for the driver and passengers. The sleek exterior design and minimalist interior certainly evoke Tesla but also are reminiscent of other EVs on the market, such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E.

But the concept won't necessarily appear in this form as a production vehicle. Henrik Green, chief technology officer at Volvo, said it was...
