| Samsung quietly launched its free TV service on the web Posted: 09 Jul 2021 04:44 PM PDT  Samsung recently launched a web version of its free and ad-supported Smart TV Plus streaming service for live and linear programming as well as added casting support for Chromecast devices. The streaming product, which was previously limited to Samsung TV and mobile devices, launched as a web service in the second quarter, Protocol reported Friday. It's a curious new player in the streaming wars and launched with seemingly little fanfare, but the rollout makes an app that was previously limited to Samsung users now widely available to just about anyone. Samsung did not have immediate comment about the launch when reached on Friday. However, a spokesperson confirmed the launch of the web version of the service to Protocol. Samsung TV... |

| President Joe Biden’s latest executive order is a huge win for right to repair Posted: 09 Jul 2021 03:49 PM PDT  A sweeping executive order aimed at promoting economic competition and signed Friday by President Joe Biden called on the Federal Trade Commission to institute rules to curb anticompetitive restrictions that limit consumers' ability to repair gadgets on their own terms. Tucked into the executive order that covered 72 initiatives to promote competition in the US economy, Biden specifically asked the FTC to crack down on "unfair anticompetitive restrictions on third-party repair or self-repair of items, such as the restrictions imposed by powerful manufacturers that prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment." The order is a significant win for the right to repair advocates who have long championed a consumer's choice to have... |
| The FTC has reportedly opened an investigation into Amazon’s MGM acquisition Posted: 09 Jul 2021 03:45 PM PDT  The Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into Amazon's acquisition of MGM, The Information reported Friday. The Information describes the probe as an "in-depth investigation into the deal," which could signal that it will stretch on for many months. The investigation also means the deal will be scrutinized by an FTC newly headed up by Lina Khan, an antitrust advocate and an Amazon critic. The FTC is focused on "the larger implications of the deal for Amazon's market power," The Information reported based on information from two people who knew of the probe, and that "the FTC is wary of whether the deal will illegally boost Amazon's ability to offer a wide array of goods and services, and is not just limited to content... |
| Space tourism rivalry gets extremely petty ahead of Branson’s spaceflight Posted: 09 Jul 2021 03:03 PM PDT  A PR war between two billionaire-owned space companies, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, is starting to get spicy. Ever since Virgin announced it'd try to fly its founder Branson to space nine days before Bezos flies on his own rocket, Blue Origin has been on a warpath to discredit Virgin's suborbital spaceplane, publicly attacking everything from the vehicle's peak altitude to the size of its windows. Blue Origin's CEO Bob Smith wished Branson well after Virgin's announcement, but alleged he's not really going to space — "they're not flying above the Kármán line and it's a very different experience." The Kármán line, 62 miles above ground, is the boundary of space recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique... |
| League of Legends’ US championship will welcome back in-person fans Posted: 09 Jul 2021 02:55 PM PDT  This year's League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) finale is the latest esports event to welcome an audience to attend in person. Riot Games announced on Friday that the final two matches of the LCS Championship, the league's postseason summer tournament, will take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on August 28th and 29th, and fans will be able to attend the event.

The final two matches of the Midseason Showdown tournament in April brought the players and production crew onstage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, but there... |
| Amazon reportedly doesn’t want employees to know when they’re on performance plans Posted: 09 Jul 2021 02:52 PM PDT  Managers at Amazon are instructed not to warn employees that they are being monitored under the company's "Focus" performance management tool, according to documents obtained by The Seattle Times. Focus is supposed to be a program where managers document how they are coaching employees and bringing their performance up to snuff. But in documents obtained by the Times, managers were instructed to not discuss Focus with employees, and instead they are supposed to more generally explain that the worker isn't meeting expectations and how to improve. Managers would only be able to tell an employee they're on the plan if they're asked directly. This means an employee could be on track to losing their job without ever knowing that their... |
| How Tencent’s sweeping new facial scans will catch Chinese kids playing past curfew Posted: 09 Jul 2021 02:31 PM PDT  Tencent, the biggest game company in the world, is rolling out facial recognition technology that will likely scan many gamers' faces every single evening, aiming to catch minors breaking a gaming curfew and help prevent video game addiction (via Gizmodo). That's a lot of controversial concepts in one sentence, no? Here's what's going on, according to the company and China games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad. In China, video game addiction prevention is literally the law of the land, one that's been evolving for many years but recently hit some important milestones. In 2019, China introduced a law that banned minors from playing video games between 10PM and 8AM or from playing more than 90 minutes on a weekday. And as of June 1st, 2021,... |
