| Microsoft says Bing’s ‘Tank Man’ censorship was a human error Posted: 04 Jun 2021 06:16 PM PDT  On Microsoft's search engine Bing, searching for "Tank Man," the iconic figure from the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China, turned up no image results in the United States for part of Friday. Vice was able to produce the same results in the US, and heard from multiple users from other countries who ran into the same issue. Stranger still, searching "Tank Man" or "Tiananmen Square Tank Man" turned up normal search results in Bing, it's just images that were mysteriously missing. When The Verge contacted Microsoft for an explanation, it said "This is due to an accidental human error and we are actively working to resolve this." It's an unfortunately timed accident... |
| Apple employees push back against returning to the office in internal letter Posted: 04 Jun 2021 05:41 PM PDT  Apple employees are pushing back against a new policy that would require them to return to the office three days a week starting in early September. Staff members say they want a flexible approach where those who want to work remote can do so, according to an internal letter obtained by The Verge. "We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues," the letter says. "That Apple's remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a... |
| TikTok says the repeat removal of the intersex hashtag was a mistake Posted: 04 Jun 2021 02:40 PM PDT  Pidgeon Pagonis, an intersex activist, noticed last week that the #intersex hashtag wasn't working on TikTok. They couldn't click the tag on one of their own posts and trying to search for intersex pulled up a "null" page. This was the second time Pagonis noticed the tag disappearing, and they worried that TikTok had banned it just as they were about to start a series of celebratory videos called Intersex Joy. Pagonis usually feels safe on TikTok because people on the platform are generally receptive to intersex topics. After growing up with secrecy, lies, and shame around being intersex, Pagonis sees TikTok and other platforms as spaces where intersex people "can connect with each other and also advocate for ourselves and each other,... |
| Nvidia and Valve are bringing DLSS to Linux Posted: 04 Jun 2021 01:42 PM PDT  Linux gamers using Valve's Proton compatibility tool to run Windows games will be getting a performance upgrade in the future: Nvidia has announced that it's working with Valve to bring FPS boosts using its DLSS technology featured on its RTX cards. It's almost enough to make me want to revisit Linux gaming. DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is a technology that lets gamers get more performance without having to give up too much image quality. It does this by running the game at lower-than-native resolution (say, rendering the game at 1080p when your monitor is 4K), but then upscaling the image to native resolution using some mightily impressive algorithms. The tech will, of course, be exciting for people with Linux gaming... |
| Here’s why you can’t use the Siri Remote’s best feature on Disney Plus and other apps Posted: 04 Jun 2021 01:16 PM PDT  Apple's new Siri Remote introduced a gesture that makes it easy to scrub through content by turning the control pad into a scroll wheel. But a number of Apple TV users noticed that the feature doesn't work properly on some services, like HBO Max, or at all on others, like Disney Plus. A spokesperson for Disney Plus confirmed to The Verge that the feature — one of the best on the redesigned Siri Remote — isn't supported on its service. It's not a service issue, though, but instead related to custom video players. Some streaming apps available on Apple TV use their own players, while others use the tvOS media player. The jogging gesture works with streaming apps that use Apple's native media player, but it is not yet supported for... |
| Jack Dorsey would rather give you a bitcoin wallet than Twitter features worth paying for Posted: 04 Jun 2021 12:50 PM PDT  Twitter Blue — the social network's first subscription product that adds an undo button to tweets among other minor additions like changing the color of icons and adding folders for bookmarks — launched on Thursday. It's limited to Canada and Australia for now but has already garnered attention for lacking the features people would be willing to pay Twitter for, like no ads, or better tools to handle harassment. Which makes Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's thread today, the day after the product launched, somewhat humorous and frustrating. What can we say: the guy loves to talk about bitcoin, even when other more pressing matters are at hand!

| T-Mobile employee files suit after HR asked invasive questions about her OnlyFans account Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:47 AM PDT  A sales rep at a T-Mobile store in Fort Worth, Texas has filed a gender discrimination suit against the company after a member of the HR team inappropriately questioned her about having an OnlyFans account. Caitlyn Stevens had been working at T-Mobile for nearly seven years when a male colleague became angry with her about how she was handling a customer interaction, the complaint says. He approached her "in a physically aggressive manager," forcing a coworker to step in and stop the man from hitting her. Stevens reported the incident to the store manager. Rather than disciplining the male colleague who'd allegedly tried to hurt her, the manager relocated Stevens to a different location, according to the complaint. The location got less... |

| The pandemic was the bloodiest year for driving in over a decade Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:57 AM PDT  Road deaths jumped 7.2 percent in 2020 from the year before, hitting a 13-year high, even though people weren't driving as much, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). But while NHTSA's numbers paint a grim picture, they offer only a glimpse at what's shaping up to be a historically bloody year of driving. Overall, 38,680 people died in car crashes in 2020, the highest number since 2007. But it's worse than it sounds, since the number of miles driven in the US dropped by 13 percent. That means every mile someone drove last year was more dangerous than it was the year before. Heeding the call to "stay home," Americans drove less during this pandemic year. But those who did get behind the wheel engaged in... |
| Go read this story about why it’s time to scrap racist bird names Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:57 AM PDT  Some 150 birds named for people tied to slavery and white supremacy could eventually get new monikers as part of an ongoing reckoning with racism within the world of birding. That includes Jameson's firefinch, named for a British naturalist who bought a young girl while in Africa "as a joke" and then drew pictures of her being brutally killed. In a new story this week, Washington Post reporter Darryl Fears breaks down the horrific history of ornithology that has managed to be scrubbed clean in many history books. Fears also writes about the names these birds already had, given to them by Indigenous peoples who understood the animals long... |
