| Jake Paul will not face federal charges after FBI raid Posted: 12 Aug 2021 04:33 PM PDT  The US Attorney won't be filing any charges against Jake Paul, according to TMZ and a statement sent to The Verge by Paul's lawyers. Paul was being investigated by the FBI, who raided his house, for his involvement in an incident that took place at an Arizona mall in May 2020. These particular legal troubles began when Paul was filmed in and around a mall in Scottsdale, AZ, which was being looted in the wake of police brutality protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd. Paul denied participating in the looting (and wasn't seen doing so in the videos that circulated on social media), but was still charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly by the Scottsdale Police Department. According to police, the charges against Paul... |
| Amid Black Widow lawsuit, Disney boss defends its pandemic release strategy Posted: 12 Aug 2021 03:52 PM PDT  Following a high-stakes lawsuit over Disney's day-and-date release of Marvel's Black Widow on its Premier Access streaming platform and the company's compensation of the film's star Scarlett Johansson, the head of Disney today defended both the company's payouts to talent as well as its decisions around various pandemic movie releases. During the company's third-quarter earnings call, Disney boss Bob Chapek explained the company's multi-pronged approach to releasing its films throughout the pandemic, which included theatrical exclusives, straight-to-digital releases on Disney Plus, and a hybrid of both that saw films debut on Disney's paid Premier Access platform the same day they premiered in theaters. Premier Access was chosen as the... |
| Amazon’s $1.5 billion Air Hub opens in Kentucky to speed up deliveries Posted: 12 Aug 2021 01:40 PM PDT  Your Amazon packages may be getting an express ticket — Amazon has finished building its $1.5 billion air hub, located at the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport, and has started operations there. Amazon started building the 800,000-square-foot facility in 2019, and it now boasts robots, miles of conveyor belts, and more. A big benefit of having a centrally located place to process packages and get them on planes is speed — that's why UPS has a hub in Louisville, Kentucky; FedEx ships many packages through Memphis, Tenessee; and DHL has a hub in the same airport as Amazon. Amazon's press release says that the cargo hub will help with the "rapid transport of customer packages throughout the U.S." Jeff Bezos also made that... |
| Facebook shouldn't be allowed to buy Giphy, says UK regulator Posted: 12 Aug 2021 01:38 PM PDT  15 months ago, Facebook said it was buying the popular GIF search engine Giphy for about $400 million. Now the acquisition may be a bust, thanks to an antitrust probe by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority. In a preliminary findings report published Thursday, the CMA said the deal should be unwound because it will "negatively impact competition between social media platforms." The CMA's reasoning for wanting to block the Giphy deal is as follows:

| Apple updates Eddy Cue’s title to better reflect its turn to services Posted: 12 Aug 2021 01:09 PM PDT  Apple rolled out a small but meaningful update to senior executive Eddy Cue's job title on Thursday that features an area of interest the company has long been focused on: services (via 9to5Mac). Eddy Cue is a longstanding veteran at Apple who helped build iTunes and the App Store, but his new title of "Senior Vice President, Services" reflects the company's increasingly important side hustle, if not outright transformation into a media business and subscription peddler. Prior to Thursday, Eddy Cue was senior vice president of internet software and services, with responsibilities that included overseeing the iTunes Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, Maps, Search Ads, iCloud, and iWork. His new job description emphasizes Apple's subscription... |
| Facebook office return delayed until 2022 in the US Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:54 PM PDT  Specifically citing concerns about a rise in cases of the delta variant of COVID-19, Facebook confirmed a Bloomberg report that it has pushed back plans for US workers to return to the office until next year.
Just a few weeks ago, Facebook was still planning to have fully reopened offices by... |
| Bill Gates wants in on Congress’ big climate infrastructure push Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:37 AM PDT  The bipartisan infrastructure deal could unlock a new stream of private funding for climate tech — and Bill Gates wants in on the action. Gates' climate investment fund says that if the infrastructure bill moves forward, it will match $1.5 billion in government funds and put that money toward projects that are developing green technologies. Breakthrough Energy, Gates' climate fund, laid out four different uses for the money: developing green hydrogen fuels, sustainable aviation fuels, energy storage, and technologies that take carbon dioxide out of the air. It said on Twitter that the money could "fast-track" commercial demonstration projects across the US. "Critical for all these climate... |
| WhatsApp, Twitter, and Facebook are reportedly blocked in Zambia during its presidential election Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:36 AM PDT  WhatsApp and other apps are reportedly blocked in Zambia during ongoing general elections being held in the country Thursday, according to digital rights organization Access Now and internet monitor NetBlocks. The block, affecting state-owned internet providers and other private networks, could be cutting off voters from a vital form of communication during a contentious election. Lusaka Times, a local Zambian news organization, writes that officials from Zambia's Ministry of Information and Broadcast Services considered shutting down internet access in the lead-up to election day, citing a desire to stop the spread of election misinformation. A dramatic decrease in election day internet traffic from WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and... |
| Do we see others online as human? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:19 AM PDT  I've often wondered if part of the reason that there is so much venom spewed on Twitter and other social media is that it's difficult to actually recognize pieces of text on a screen as being from real, feeling human beings. I was nudged into this thought by a recent Washington Post story about Brianna Wu, who had been the target of extreme harassment several years ago during the GamerGate situation. She is apparently getting contacted by some former members of that group, who are sending apologies and regrets for their past actions. The story reminded me of something that happened to me way back when, during the days of the BBS (bulletin board system). Bear with me for a couple of paragraphs while I set the stage. First, for those who... |
| How in the world did these AMD RX 6600 XT GPUs sell at or under MSRP? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:12 AM PDT  Every PC graphics card we've reviewed in months has come with a disclaimer — if you can find one at all, you won't be able to buy it for anywhere near its MSRP. And yet somehow, we've stepped into a bizzaro world where a few retailers listed the brand-new AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT for at or under its $379 suggested retail price, as PC Gamer notes today. Stock appears to have run out of the US cards while I was writing this post, but the UK cards still seem to be in stock, including a Sapphire RX 6600 XT Pulse for £374.99 at Overclockers and an XFX RX 6600 XT QICK 308 for £359.99 at eBuyer. The US cards included a PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Fighter for $379.99, and a Gigabyte RX 6600 XT Eagle with triple fan for $379.99 as well, both at... |
