| Amazon’s new ‘adaptive volume’ will make Alexa speak louder when it’s noisy Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:06 PM PDT  Amazon is working to solve a frustration with smart home speakers by introducing a feature called Adaptive Volume, which will make Alexa respond louder if it detects that you're in a noisy environment. According to the company, the mode is meant to make sure that you can still hear Alexa's responses over any background noise (like the sound of a dishwasher, people talking, or music playing on another device). Amazon says that the feature is currently available to US customers, and that you can activate it by saying "Alexa, turn on adaptive volume." Amazon doesn't mention adaptive volume working in the opposite direction, becoming quieter if there's no background noise, but there are other ways to reduce the volume dynamically. One of... |
| Apple pledges another small but welcome sum to racial justice Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:02 PM PDT  Apple has pledged another $30 million to racial justice, on top of the $100 million it promised last year in the wake of George Floyd's death. It includes funding for a wide array of causes, including a Global Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Equity Innovation Hub at California State University Northridge in Los Angeles, with the intent to create regional hubs at other universities, and an expansion of its work to bring community coding centers to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by adding 11 additional schools to the roster. Last August, we calculated just how small the donations from Big Tech were compared to their immense profits, and today's $30 million doesn't really change the calculus there. At the rate... |
| Retailer leak suggests Google’s Pixel 6 will have 23W wireless charging Posted: 31 Aug 2021 03:56 PM PDT  Google may be working on a new wireless charging stand for its Pixel phones, according to a leaked image of a retail inventory backend mentioning a "Google Pixel 23W WL Stand" published by Android Police. The name suggests the charger could support 23W wireless charging, and if Google does end up releasing this stand, it seems likely that the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro would support 23W charging as well. That wireless charging speed, if accurate, would be more than the iPhone 12's maximum 15W wireless charging with a MagSafe charger and surpass the 10W wireless charging offered by the original Pixel Stand... |
| Someone paid more than $300K for a fake Banksy NFT — and the scammer gave it all back Posted: 31 Aug 2021 03:05 PM PDT  The NFT space continues to be weird and occasionally wonderful, but today's story is going for some sort of award: a collector paid over $300,000 in Ethereum for an NFT from someone claiming to be Banksy after the image appeared on the famed street artist's website. Then, Banksy's spokesperson said that the artist had no involvement with NFTs, and stories came out declaring it a fake. Finally, the NFT's seller spontaneously refunded the collector, seemingly with no note. Oh, and to really muddy the waters, the collector who bought the NFT goes by the name of Pranksy. Pranksy told the BBC that he heard about the auction, which was being held on the NFT marketplace OpenSea, from someone in his Discord. (The BBC doesn't identify Pranksy by... |

| Six things we learned about the Dead Space remake Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:50 PM PDT  When EA announced it was remaking Dead Space, it wasn't really clear what "remake" meant. Would the company be completely rebooting the beloved space horror series? Or would it be more like a remaster that upgraded the original's 13-year-old graphics for the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and modern PCs? Star Wars: Squadrons studio EA Motive offered a little bit more detail in interviews. But it was still hard to gauge what the remake was supposed to accomplish — since compared to remakes of '90s games like System Shock, where designers are updating limited graphics and unfamiliar control schemes, Dead Space still feels eminently playable today. Now, the Dead Space remake's developers have helped fill in some of the gaps. Motive held a l... |
| MotorTrend shows off Rivian’s electric adventure truck in detail Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:37 PM PDT  Rivian's R1T electric pickup truck is finally set to ship next month after a series of delays — roughly three years after it debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. Ahead of the launch, though, MotorTrend got to spend a handful of days with the all-electric adventure truck, and the team there came away impressed by its performance. What's more, they offer one of the best looks at the R1T's interior, which borrows as much from Tesla as it does from other high-end off-road-focused vehicles. None of this is exactly surprising — Rivian has actually been quite open about the development of the R1T since its debut, regularly posting its own articles, photos, and videos along the way — but the truck features two large, crisp displays on the... |
| The best wireless gaming headset is slowly driving me up the wall Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:23 PM PDT  If you're going to make the best product on the market, please go all the way. Case in point: the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is one of the best wireless gaming headsets ever made. In 2018, I tested it against every single competitor on the market (seriously, all of them), and none could beat its combination of excellent audio quality, a clear microphone, incredible wireless range, oodles of connectivity, and twin swappable batteries. It's a nearly perfect gadget — but a couple of times a week, that "nearly" part makes me want to scream. Here's how I described living with the Arctis Pro Wireless earlier this year:

| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:33 PM PDT  LinkedIn is shutting down its ephemeral Stories product, the company announced Tuesday. The company plans to "remove the current Stories experience by the end of September," according to Liz Li, senior director of product. The Snapchat-style video Stories were first launched in February 2020 in internal testing. Part of the reason for the shutdown is that LinkedIn learned users just didn't want disappearing video. "In developing Stories, we assumed people wouldn't want informal videos attached to their profile, and that ephemerality would reduce barriers that people feel about posting," Li said. "Turns out, you want to create lasting videos that tell your professional story in a more personal way and that showcase both your personality... |
| Apple just banned a pay equity Slack channel but lets fun dogs channel lie Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:30 PM PDT  Apple has barred employees from creating a Slack channel to discuss pay equity. A member of the employee relations team, Apple's version of HR, said that while the topic was "aligned with Apple's commitment to pay equity," it did not meet the company's Slack Terms of Use. "Slack channels are provided to conduct Apple business and must advance the work, deliverables, or mission of Apple departments and teams," the employee relations representative told employees. The company's rules for the in-office chat app say that "Slack channels for activities and hobbies not recognized as Apple Employee clubs or Diversity Network Associations (DNAs) aren't permitted and shouldn't be created." But that rule has not been evenly enforced. Currently,... |
