| WhatsApp tests encrypted cloud backups on Android Posted: 16 Jul 2021 06:20 PM PDT  When you're using WhatsApp your messages are encrypted end-to-end, which means prying eyes can't easily see what's in them as they travel back and forth. However, if you keep a backup stored in the cloud, authorities can use a search warrant to have Google Drive or iCloud hand over access to the data. But WABetaInfo has reported previously that WhatsApp is working on the technology to independently encrypt your backups in the cloud, and says that in the most recent beta update on Android (2.21.15.5), the system has been enabled. Opting in should keep your chat history and media securely backed up, with the significant caveat that if you forget your passcode / lose the 64-digit recovery key, then they'll be locked away permanently — even... |
| Amazon just got Fakespot booted off Apple’s iOS App Store Posted: 16 Jul 2021 02:23 PM PDT  Fakespot, known for its web browser extensions that try to weed out fake product reviews, suddenly no longer has an iPhone or iPad app — because Amazon sent Apple a takedown request, both Amazon and Fakespot confirm, and Apple decided to remove the app. The giant retailer says it was concerned about how a new update to the Fakespot app was "wrapping" its website without permission, and how that could be theoretically exploited to steal Amazon customer data. Fakespot founder Saoud Khalifah told The Verge that Apple abruptly removed the app today without any explanation. Apple confirms it removed the app, but disputes the circumstances. The new Fakespot app launched just over a month ago, and I can confirm it let you log in to Amazon,... |
| Biden says platforms like Facebook are ‘killing people’ with COVID-19 misinformation Posted: 16 Jul 2021 01:09 PM PDT  The White House escalated its fight against vaccine misinformation on Friday, with President Biden directly criticizing Facebook and other platforms for allowing vaccine misinformation to spread — and consequently raising the ongoing death toll from the deadly pandemic. Asked for a message to platforms like Facebook, Biden replied, "They're killing people ... the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated, and they're killing people." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for clarification of the president's comments. The full exchange is embedded below:

| Trump supporters charged in plot to bomb Facebook and Twitter headquarters, among other targets Posted: 16 Jul 2021 01:00 PM PDT  Two California residents have been indicted for allegedly planning to firebomb the offices of California's Democratic governor in Sacramento after the 2020 election, and had also discussed bombing Facebook and Twitter, federal court records show. The pair, who were indicted on conspiracy charges as well as illegal possession of firearms and explosives, were part of an anti-government militia with a strong pro-Trump agenda called the Three Percenters. The conspirators' texts alluded that their planned actions would send a message to tech companies like Facebook and Twitter days after they banned Trump from their platforms. Texts recovered by the FBI indicated that the two men believed President Trump won the 2020 election, and that they... |
| Ford made a premium gas fragrance for EV owners who miss the smell of fossil fuels Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT  So you just dropped a cool $59,000 on a Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, your own sporty slice of our electric future, made by a company that only knows how to build them tough (Ford Tough, to be precise). What happens when you go to plug in your new car and you miss that telltale whiff of chemical-y gasoline smell wafting from its insides? According to Ford, you substitute it with a "premium fragrance" inspired by gasoline called "Mach-Eau." Mach-Eau — the name does not get better the more I type it — was born from a survey conducted by Ford Europe that found that 1 in 5 drivers will miss the "smell of petrol most" when they switch to an electric car. Naturally, wanting to push more Mach-Es and F-150 Lightnings into the world, Ford settled on an... |
| How to change your iPhone’s text size for a specific app Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:30 PM PDT  Sometimes you want the text in your app to be smaller, so you can fit more content on a single screen. Sometimes you want it to be bigger, especially if you've been putting off buying those reading glasses. But until recently, if you had an iPhone, you had to pick a single text size as a standard for all your apps. Not anymore. In iOS 15, you can adjust the text size separately for each of your apps. So you can, for example, keep the text small for your email, but make it a bit larger in Twitter — or vice versa. (Thanks to @OmarShahine for the info.)

| Virginia will invest $700 million to bring broadband to every household in the state Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:05 PM PDT  On Friday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced that the state plans to invest $700 million in American Rescue Plan funding to reach universal broadband connectivity by 2024. This new investment shaves four years off of the governor's original plan to connect every household to high-speed broadband. The pandemic dramatically affected the ways in which people work and attend school — pushing many office-holders to renew efforts to ensure citizens are able to get online. According to Northam, more than 233,000 homes and businesses in Virginia are without broadband access. "It's time to close the digital divide in our Commonwealth and treat Internet service like the 21st... |
| There’s enough Steam Deck demand to take Steam’s store down Posted: 16 Jul 2021 11:35 AM PDT  Valve officially revealed its handheld PC gaming machine only a day ago, but that was apparently enough to spread the word — when the Steam Deck went up for preorder today at 1PM ET, the demand from gamers knocked Steam for a loop as the store produced error after error. Seemingly every step produced another pitfall: two-factor authentication if you weren't signed in, some signed-in accounts had to sign in once again, credit card checks, even a wonky response from a system that pegged long-established Steam accounts as being "too new" to participate. Other parts of Steam got flaky during the crush of preorder interest, too. The entire Steam store, Steam's community pages, and the age gate that lets you view mature-rated titles didn't... |
| Google redesigns its emoji to be more universal and authentic Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:00 AM PDT  Google is tweaking 992 of its emoji designs to make them more "universal, accessible, and authentic," the company announced today. The new designs will arrive this fall alongside Android 12, but Google says they'll also be available on older versions with apps that use its Appcompat compatibility layer. They're also coming to other Google platforms like Gmail, Chrome OS, Google Chat, and YouTube Live Chat this month. None of the changes are particularly drastic. Instead, they're mostly the kinds of tweaks that make the meaning of each emoji easier to understand at a glance by a wider range of people. The pie emoji, for example, currently looks like a classic American pumpkin pie. That's fine for Americans, but it means that, in the UK,... |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 09:51 AM PDT  The headline feature for Apple's fall updates (including iOS 15, iPadOS 15, tvOS 15, and macOS Monterey) is SharePlay. It's a new software feature on top of FaceTime that allows you to watch and listen to movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, and more with friends and family while video chatting. Right now, the number of SharePlay-compatible apps is a pretty small list: the Apple TV app for movies and TV shows, the Apple Music app for music, and Apple's Podcasts app for podcasts. The company is promising some bigger third-party partners when iOS 15 launches this fall, including HBO Max, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, TikTok, and Twitch. Some big names seem to be skipping out for now, though: most notably, Netflix and YouTube. For now, if... |
