| Brokered cell location data led to the outing and resignation of a Catholic official Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:33 PM PDT  Location data from a cell phone, obtained and sold by data brokers, has lead to the alleged outing and resignation of a priest working for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, according to a report from The Washington Post. The traffic data, which was linked to the priest and appeared to show when and where he was using the LGBTQ dating app Grindr, was obtained by a publication and shared with the Conference, where the priest worked as the general secretary. This incident is another example of how invasive the collection and sale of location and other personal data by brokers can be. While the data sold by these companies is ostensibly anonymized, it's been shown that individuals can be picked out and tracked. The data broker industry... |
| Samsung announces Unpacked event for August 11th with Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip teaser Posted: 20 Jul 2021 05:00 PM PDT  Samsung has officially announced when it will hold its next Unpacked product event: August 11th at 10AM ET / 7AM PT. It is widely expected to announce the next version of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 — both of which have already leaked quite a bit. Samsung's not being shy about those expectations, as a quick look at its invite reveals the outline for both of those devices. Samsung is also expected to announce new Galaxy watches, which would be the first to use the new combined Wear platform that was announced at Google I/O earlier this year. Samsung is holding the event virtually again on its website, and it promises to post more details on the livestream here. It's also keeping up another Samsung trend: letting customers... |
| A fix is coming for those locked out of their Chromebooks by Google’s update Posted: 20 Jul 2021 04:14 PM PDT  A bad update to Chrome OS, version 91.0.4472.165, has left some users unable to log in to their accounts, or reportedly with boot-looping computers (via Android Central). If you've found yourself locked out of your Chromebook, help is on the way: Google posted on its system status page that it's working on a fix, which it expects to release on Wednesday. It's also pulled the update, which should prevent more users from experiencing the issue. According to Google, the only options to immediately regain access to your Chrome OS device (if it unfortunately downloaded and installed the update) will lead to the local data on the device being wiped. If you can wait until the new fix the issue is released, though, your device should... |

| Where to preorder the Nintendo Switch OLED model Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:20 PM PDT  After months of speculation and a sea of rumors, Nintendo officially announced the next iteration of its popular gaming console: the Nintendo Switch OLED model. The upcoming device serves more as a midlife update than anything else, a refinement of the 2019 model as opposed to the more powerful "Switch Pro" that was rumored (and may still launch). On sale for $350 starting October 8th, the aptly-titled Nintendo Switch OLED model is the next iteration of what has become one of the best-selling consoles over the last two years. It's outfitted with a 7-inch 720p OLED display, a new dock with a wired Ethernet port, and an improved kickstand that seems to take a cue directly from Microsoft's Surface Pro tablets. It also offers 64GB of... |
| Chrome for iOS will let you lock down incognito tabs with Face ID Posted: 20 Jul 2021 02:01 PM PDT  Chrome's latest update for iOS will let you secure your incognito tabs with Touch ID, Face ID, or a passcode (via MacRumors). When the new feature is rolled out to you, you can turn it on by navigating to the settings menu, then tapping "Privacy," then "Lock Incognito tabs." I just updated the app and the option wasn't there for me, so you might have to wait just a bit until you can flip it on. Google first revealed it was testing this new privacy feature in February. The update brings a few other handy features to Google's mobile browser, including the ability to take a full-page screenshot of a website. You can use it by snapping a screenshot with the button combination specific to your device, tapping the screenshot preview, and then... |
| Instagram introduces a setting to control sensitive content in your Explore tab Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:44 PM PDT  Facebook is announcing a new setting that allows you to limit how much potentially sensitive content shows up in your Instagram Explore tab. According to Facebook, the new Sensitive Content Control setting will let you "see more or less of some types of sensitive content," which may be "upsetting or offensive." How much content the three levels, "Allow," "Limit (Default)," and "Limit Even More" will or will not show is pretty vague, and we've reached out to Facebook for clarification. On the support page for Sensitive Content Control, Instagram says that sensitive content could include sexually suggestive or violent posts, as well as posts that promote things like tobacco or pharmaceutical use. Facebook is clear that this setting is... |

| Square launches checking and savings accounts for small businesses Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:20 PM PDT  Square is launching a new free banking service on Tuesday that connects to the payment and point-of-sale products the company already offers to small businesses. Square Banking combines checking accounts, savings accounts, and Square's existing small business loans (now called Square Loans) into a package that the company claims is both fair and accessible.
