| PSA: You might want to avoid the gobs of Halo Infinite spoilers Microsoft just leaked Posted: 30 Jul 2021 04:45 PM PDT  If you're invested in the story of Master Chief, Cortana, and the fate of the Halo universe, you might want to keep your head down and start muting some keywords on social media until Halo Infinite arrives later this year — because vast spoilers for the game's entire story are now floating around on the internet. Note: we'll be keeping this post spoiler-free, though. Halo Infinite creative director Joseph Staten confirmed on Twitter that Microsoft accidentally leaked "a small number of Halo Infinite campaign files" when it launched the game's first multiplayer beta yesterday on July 29th, saying they "can ruin the campaign experience for everyone."

| Here are the latest accusations Activision Blizzard employees have leveled at the company Posted: 30 Jul 2021 04:10 PM PDT  More disturbing allegations of Activision Blizzard's reported culture of sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination have been reported in recent days, following a huge lawsuit filed against the company by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) last week. Details in these stories may be challenging to read, so we are prefacing them with a content warning for descriptions of sexual harassment. On Thursday, The New York Times posted a story of extremely distressing accounts of Activision Blizzard's culture. Here is one from Shay Stein, a former customer service employee:

| After accusations, Twitter will pay hackers to find biases in its automatic image crops Posted: 30 Jul 2021 04:02 PM PDT  Twitter is holding a competition in hopes that hackers and researchers will be able to identify biases in its image cropping algorithm — and it's going to be handing out cash prizes to winning teams (via Engadget). Twitter is hoping that giving teams access to its code and image cropping model will let them find ways that the algorithm could be harmful (such as it cropping in a way that stereotypes or erases the image's subject). Those competing will have to submit a description of their findings, and a dataset that can be run through the algorithm to demonstrate the issue. Twitter will then assign points based on what kind of harms are found, how much it could potentially affect people, and more. The winning team will be awarded... |
| Mastodon now has an official iPhone app Posted: 30 Jul 2021 03:24 PM PDT  Decentralized social network Mastodon now has an official iPhone app. The nonprofit behind Mastodon launched the app on iOS today, supplementing an existing web version and several third-party apps for iOS, Android, and other platforms. The app is free and offers a similar feature set to Mastodon's core service, although it doesn't include Mastodon's broad local and federated timelines. Mastodon describes the app as particularly geared toward getting new users on board the nontraditional social platform. As we've outlined before, Mastodon looks similar to Twitter but is built around independently run communities (and the ActivityPub protocol) rather than a single central network. You can create your account on a community of your choice... |
| A Tesla Megapack burst into flames at ‘Victorian Big Battery’ Posted: 30 Jul 2021 02:02 PM PDT A Tesla Megapack caught fire today during initial testing of a highly anticipated new utility-scale battery in Victoria, Australia. Luckily, there were no injuries or disruptions to the local electricity supply, CNBC reports. The blaze posed no risk of spreading to the nearby community, according to Bloomberg, but it did trigger a toxic smoke warning for residents who were told to stay indoors, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. The cause of the fire is still unclear.

| June heatwave was the ‘most extreme’ on record for North America Posted: 30 Jul 2021 12:23 PM PDT  The devastating heatwave that struck the Northwest US and southwest Canada in June was "the most extreme summer heatwave" ever recorded in North America, according to a new analysis from nonprofit research group Berkeley Earth. That's based on the magnitude of the heatwave, or how much warmer it was than normal. Record temperatures in the region reached roughly 20 degrees Celsius (or 36 °F) hotter than average in June. Canada recorded its hottest temperature ever on June 29th when the village of Lytton in British Columbia reached an astonishing 49.6 degrees Celsius (121 degrees Fahrenheit). Typical temperatures there in June are closer to 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). |

| Elon Musk calls Apple’s App Store fees a ‘de facto global tax on the Internet’ Posted: 30 Jul 2021 11:37 AM PDT  Elon Musk has had a busy Friday on Twitter. After flatly denying that he has ever spoken to Apple CEO Tim Cook in response to a wild story alleging he demanded to take over as the company's CEO as part of an acquisition offer, Musk has now tweeted his support of Epic Games' fight against Apple over App Store policies. "Apple app store fees are a de facto global tax on the Internet," he said. "Epic is right."
Epic is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Apple, arguing that its App Store rules, which allow Apple to take a 30 percent commission on many transactions on the App Store, are unfair and anti-competitive. P... |
| Elon Musk and Apple deny wild story that he tried to replace Tim Cook Posted: 30 Jul 2021 10:35 AM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly demanded to become Apple's CEO in a 2016 phone call with current Apple CEO Tim Cook, according to an upcoming book about Tesla. The story, shared by the Los Angeles Times, comes from Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century by The Wall Street Journal reporter Tim Higgins. As the book tells it, Cook suggested to Musk that Apple acquire Tesla, and Musk said he wanted to be CEO. Cook reportedly agreed, but Musk clarified that he wanted to be the CEO of Apple. "According to a former aide who heard (Musk's) retelling of the exchange," Cook said "Fuck you" before hanging up the phone. But Musk and Apple have both suggested that the conversation couldn't have happened because Musk and Cook have... |
