| T-Mobile has started offering fiber home internet in a limited pilot program Posted: 10 Aug 2021 06:43 PM PDT  T-Mobile has quietly started selling fiber-based home internet, as tipped to T-Mo Report and confirmed by the company to The Verge. T-Mobile says it's testing fiber optic internet in certain residential buildings in Manhattan as a complement to its fixed wireless offering, which it made available to the public in April. The company isn't deploying an entirely new fiber network for the pilot; it's running on a local provider's fiber lines. Details on the dedicated T-Mobile Fiber site are thin, but it claims the service offers 940Mbps upload and download speeds. A Wi-Fi 6 router is included, along with chat and e-mail customer support for fiber customers. A T-Mobile rep had no other details to share with us, just that the program is a... |
| BitMEX crypto exchange agrees to pay $100 million to get financial regulators off its back Posted: 10 Aug 2021 06:17 PM PDT  Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has agreed to pay a $100 million civil penalty as part of a settlement with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the company announced Tuesday. The fine addresses charges that the derivatives exchange allowed illegal trades and violated anti-money laundering laws. BitMEX didn't address the less savory uses of its platform for years, as FinCEN says the company "willfully failed to comply with its obligations under the BSA (Bank Secrecy Act)." According to the organization:

| Ford chip shortage means your Mustang Mach-E delivery may be at least six weeks late Posted: 10 Aug 2021 04:03 PM PDT  Ford's F-150 was hit by the global semiconductor shortage, and now its flagship Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle is seeing a serious delay too — by a minimum of six weeks for prospective owners who were scheduled to get their vehicle between July 5th and October 1st. That's according to emails Ford sent to buyers today (via Electrek). It's not the first delay for the Mustang Mach-E, either, after Ford held back some 4,500 cars in March for unspecified quality checks, and Ford's handling this delay in much the same way, giving owners an additional 250kWh of free charging at stations in the company's FordPass Charging Network. That's on top of the 250kWh they were already going to receive for purchasing the vehicle. Since the Mach-E has a... |
| The JRR Token cryptocurrency is almost certainly headed for Mt. Doom Posted: 10 Aug 2021 03:40 PM PDT  I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there's a cryptocurrency themed after The Lord of the Rings. It's dubbed the JRR Token, and its creators have called it "The One Token That Rules Them All." Upon learning about it, my snap judgment was that it'll be like The Hobbit's trilogy of films (pointless and doomed to fail), but that may be unfair. Let's take a look at the video its creators made to explain what makes it special: Okay, wait. Before we even go into the crypto stuff, I'm wondering what the legal situation is with this video — the video includes images of rolling green countryside overlaid by very Lord of the Rings-esque text, while what sounds like a piano rendition of Howard Shore's The Shire plays. Even if those don't... |
| Apple’s controversial new child protection features, explained Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:43 PM PDT  Apple stakes its reputation on privacy. The company has promoted encrypted messaging across its ecosystem, encouraged limits on how mobile apps can gather data, and fought law enforcement agencies looking for user records. For the past week, though, Apple has been fighting accusations that its upcoming iOS and iPadOS release will weaken user privacy. The debate stems from an announcement Apple made on Thursday. In theory, the idea is pretty simple: Apple wants to fight child sexual abuse, and it's taking more steps to find and stop it. But critics say Apple's strategy could weaken users' control over their own phones, leaving them reliant on Apple's promise that it won't abuse its power. And Apple's response has highlighted just how... |
| Facebook Dating is getting audio chats Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:37 PM PDT  Facebook Dating, the company's dating service, doesn't appear to be as popular as other dating apps, but the company is introducing some new features to make it more useful for virtual dating, which has boomed during the pandemic. One of the biggest new features is audio dates, which will let you start an audio conversation with somebody you match with. When you try to start a call with someone, the other person will receive an invitation. If they accept, you both can have a chat. Facebook is also allowing you to set up to two additional places in Facebook Dating where you want to look for matches. The feature, which Facebook calls Match Anywhere, should make it easier to match up with people who may be temporarily working or living in... |
| AMC and Warner Bros. have agreed to make movies exclusive to theaters for 45 days Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:05 PM PDT  AMC and Warner Bros. have struck a deal to have the studio's movies stay exclusive to theaters for 45 days, instead of being immediately available digitally (via The Hollywood Reporter). The news was announced by AMC CEO Adam Aron during an earnings call, and it means that Warner Bros. won't be making its 2022 movies, which include The Batman and Sesame Street, available at home (or on HBO Max) until just over six weeks after they're released in theaters. Warner Bros. already had a similar deal in place with Regal Cinemas' owners, but today's news truly seems to herald the end of the streaming experiment the studio was trying out in 2021. While HBO Max may not be getting movies the same day as theaters anymore, things aren't exactly... |
| Sonic the Hedgehog 2 casts Idris Elba as Knuckles Posted: 10 Aug 2021 12:48 PM PDT  Knuckles the Echidna is set to make his live-action debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 next year — and now we know who'll be voicing him: none other than Idris Elba (Cats and also other movies, apparently). Elba appears to have not yet been completely scared away from showing up in hybrid live-action / animated films with sometimes-questionable CGI. According to a leaked synopsis for the film, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will actually see Elba's animated echidna team up with Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik "in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations."
Elba will join Ben Schwartz, who voiced Sonic in the... |
| Diablo II: Resurrected is getting an open beta on August 20th Posted: 10 Aug 2021 12:46 PM PDT  Blizzard is giving players a couple of chances to try out Diablo II: Resurrected, a remastered version of one of the studio's most popular titles, ahead of the game's release on September 23rd. The upcoming betas arrive during a tumultuous time for Blizzard, which is under intense scrutiny following a lawsuit alleging parent company Activision Blizzard has a culture of "constant sexual harassment." According to Blizzard, people who have preordered the game (or the Diablo Prime Evil Collection, which also comes with Diablo III) can check out the early access beta from August 13th at 1PM ET to August 17th at 1PM ET. Everyone else will be able to play the open beta a week later, from August 20th at 1PM ET to August 23rd at 1PM ET. |
| Memestock AMC now plans to accept Bitcoin Posted: 10 Aug 2021 12:00 PM PDT  AMC will begin accepting Bitcoin payments for concessions and theater tickets as soon as the end of the year, marking the latest development in AMC's hard lean into memestock superstardom. During the company's second-quarter earnings call on Monday, AMC boss Adam Aron kicked off the Bitcoin bullet point by noting, unsurprisingly, that many of AMC's new shareholders "are quite enthusiastic about cryptocurrency." (If you've been following along with the memestock drama at home, this should come as absolutely no surprise.) He added that the company will have the technology systems in place to accept Bitcoin by the end of 2021. Bitcoin payments will have to be made online but will be widely supported across all of AMC's US theaters. Bitcoin... |
