| Space Jam: A New Legacy launch includes a 91,000 item NFT tie-in Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:30 PM PDT  On the same day we learned that Fortnite is adding a LeBron James skin to its metaverse, the PR machine for Space Jam: A New Legacy cranked out a different batch of digital collectibles. However, instead of directing viewers to a gloriously aging 90s-era website, they had to use NFTs. Launching July 16th on HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy follows Michael Jordan's 1996 movie by transporting LeBron James into a digital world full of cartoons and other Warner Bros. properties, so the marketing fit makes more sense than it might appear. The difference here is that instead of merely slipping toys into fast food kids' meals or tossing out limited edition physical cards, there's a hope that interest in the family-friendly flick will spur the... |
| ESPN Plus is getting its second price hike of 2021 Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:55 PM PDT  ESPN Plus monthly and annual subscription costs will go up beginning August 13th, the second price increase for the service in 2021. The new price hike has made the service's annual plan increase by about $20 this year alone. A spokesperson for ESPN Plus confirmed to The Verge that the service will hike from $6 to $7, while the annual cost will jump from $60 to $70. Notably, there will be no price increase to the Disney bundle, which costs $13 and includes sister services Disney+ and Hulu. There will also be no change in the cost of UFC pay-per-view. Disney Plus and ESPN Plus have both gotten price increases in 2021. The sports streaming service's annual subscription cost increased to $60 per year from $50 in January. The company... |
| Google shares transition plans for unified desktop file syncing Drive app Posted: 12 Jul 2021 03:49 PM PDT  Google announced its plans to transition users of its consumer file syncing desktop service, Backup and Sync, onto a new unified app that both consumers and business clients can use called Drive for desktop. Google plans to start onboarding users next week on July 19th, 2021, and encourages people who used Backup and Sync to make the switch by the end of September, before getting locked out on October 1st. Backup and Sync users will have to transition to the new app (a renamed version of Google's enterprise file syncing software), but business clients who are already using Drive File Stream (aka Drive for desktop) should be good to go, Google says. The goal with consolidating the apps, Google says, is to create "a powerful and unified... |
| Verizon’s new filter blocks spoofed phone numbers that are too close to yours Posted: 12 Jul 2021 02:39 PM PDT  Verizon wants to help curb those obnoxious "spoofing" calls from similar area codes to your own with a new tool called Neighborhood Filter. Spoofing is the method used by spammers to make a number appear similar to your own so you're more likely to answer the call. Verizon's new Neighborhood Filter will allow Verizon customers to send these calls directly to voicemail, as well as any other prefix and area code combinations that the company thinks might be suspicious. The tool is available to Call Filter Free and Call Filter Plus customers through the company's separate Call Filter app. Call Filter Free costs nothing to enroll and offers basic filtering from those dreaded and persistent spam calls. Call Filter Plus, which costs an... |
| Secretly throttling is never okay Posted: 12 Jul 2021 02:29 PM PDT  Last Tuesday, AnandTech caught OnePlus doing the previously unthinkable — throttling the performance of its new flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 9 Pro. Seeing "inexplicable" slowdown, the publication discovered the phone was diverting a laundry list of popular apps away from its Snapdragon 888's high-performance cores. The company's excuse? It was all an attempt to save battery life. Today, OnePlus is doubling down on that earlier statement with a longer forum post, where the company's argument sounds downright reasonable. "In recent years, the performance of smartphone SoCs has reached a point where their power is often overkill in certain scenarios," writes OnePlus, blaming Qualcomm for essentially being too good at its job. "With... |
| The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will support the S Pen Pro, according to FCC filings Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:27 PM PDT  After many teases, it seems as if a Samsung foldable is finally going to get support for an S Pen stylus. FCC filings for the S Pen Pro, a bigger version of the S Pen with Bluetooth connectivity that Samsung announced in January, have been made public, and one document (PDF) reveals that the upcoming stylus will work with the unannounced Galaxy Z Fold 3 (which is presumably the next device in the Z Fold lineup). And it's not just the Z Fold 3 — the stylus, which doesn't have a release date but is set to hit this year, will apparently support the S21 Ultra, the Note 20 lineup, and more. You can see the full list of devices that the S Pen Pro will support in this image from the filing: |
| Black players on England football team bombarded with racist abuse on social media Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:07 PM PDT  Social media platforms have been inundated with racist messages and posts directed at three Black players on England's football team, following a tough loss to Italy on Sunday in the UEFA Euro 2020 championship match. The two teams played to a 1-1 tie, and Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka were among England's players to participate in a penalty shootout to decide the winner of the match and the tournament. All three missed their shots. After the game ended, the players' social media accounts, including Facebook-owned Instagram and Twitter, were filled with racist comments and messages. In an email to The Verge on Monday, a Twitter spokesperson said the "abhorrent, racist abuse directed at England players" had no place on... |
| AT&T removes high-speed data throttling from its most expensive unlimited plan Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:43 PM PDT  AT&T is adding a few more benefits to its $85-per-month top-tier unlimited plan at no added cost. Unlimited Elite subscribers will now truly have access to unlimited high-speed data and will no longer be subject to deprioritization after hitting 100GB of data per month. Customers will also get a bump from 30GB of monthly hotspot data up to 40GB as well as up to 4K video streaming — boosted from a maximum of 1080p. The new plan features will be added automatically for all current subscribers starting this week. If this all sounds familiar, that's because T-Mobile did more or less the same thing earlier this year. In fact, AT&T's Unlimited Elite now matches T-Mobile's Magenta Max nearly feature-by-feature. Both start at $85 per line... |
| Thiel associate launches Arizona Senate campaign Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT  Blake Masters, a close ally to billionaire Peter Thiel and current Thiel Capital executive, launched a bid for the Arizona Senate Monday. As a Republican, he'll be seeking to take on Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Masters joins a growing pool of Republican candidates, including Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and solar power executive Jim Lamon. On his campaign website, Masters champions a total ban on illegal immigration, calling for the government to use "physical walls, surveillance technology, thousands more border patrol agents, and mandatory E-Verify for employers" along the US-Mexico border. Thiel's Founder's Fund invested in the border and military surveillance company Anduril, valuing the company at $1 billion. Masters' website... |
| Elon Musk has a ticket to ride on Richard Branson’s spaceplane Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:34 PM PDT  Space billionaire Elon Musk bought a ticket to space from fellow space billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, The Wall Street Journal cites a company spokesperson as saying. Musk, CEO and founder of SpaceX, had the Virgin Galactic ticket before Branson's flight to space on Sunday, a person familiar with the purchase tells The Verge. It's unclear where Musk stands in Virgin Galactic's line of about 600 other prospective SpaceShipTwo passengers, but the ticket itself is an extension of his apparent friendship with Branson that contrasts with all of the sass and pettiness this month from Blue Origin, the other top space company founded by the space industry's other super-rich billionaire, Jeff Bezos. It's also seen as a friendly... |
