After it ended free unlimited storage for Google Photos in June, many Google users had figure out how to store images and other data in the Google accounts. They could keep their Google account stored data under 15GB, or pay for a Google One plan. Options included a 100GB plan for $1.99 per month, a 200GB plan for $2.99 a month, a 2TB plan for $9.99 a month, or a plan with 10TB of storage for $49.99 per month. 20TB and 30TB plans are also available, for $99.99 and $149.99 per month, respectively.

Now Google's introduced a middle option between 2TB and 10TB, as noticed by 9to5Google. The 5TB Google One plan costs $24.99 per month, a good (and less expensive) option for people who want a little more than 2TB but don't quite need a plan...

Google provided some user data to the government of Hong Kong last year, despite promising it would not process such data requests from authorities, according to the Hong Kong Free Press. The company told the news outlet it "produced some data" in response to three of the 43 requests it received from Hong Kong's government. Two of the requests had to do with investigations into human trafficking and included search warrants, and a third was an emergency disclosure as part of a credible threat to someone's life, HKFP reported.

The company told HKFP that none of the three responses included users' content data.

Last August, Google said it would stop responding to data requests from Hong Kong's government, unless the requests were made in...

Electronics company TCL is pausing its plans release a lower-cost foldable phone this year, the company confirmed in an email to The Verge. Its clamshell-style foldable phone, codenamed Project Chicago, was in mid-development when the company made the decision to put it on indefinite hold. According to TCL the delay is due in part to rising production costs and supply chain shortages.

"Although the foldable market is growing each year, it is still a premium product category," Stefan Streit, chief marketing officer of TCL said in a statement to The Verge. "In combination with recent component shortages, the COVID-19 pandemic and rising costs in foldable production, TCL has made the difficult decision to suspend the launch of its first...

We can all agree NFTs are kind of weird, so here's another twist to puzzle over: in November, you'll be able to see the "inaugural display" of The First 5000 Days, the collage/NFT that Beeple sold for $69 million earlier this year. You can also, obviously, view the image right now, for free, wherever you are, on whatever device you're using, by searching that title on Google. You could also pull the image up on your TV, or display it on a projector, or print it out, because that's how digital images work.

Here, look, I'm just going to embed a tweet with the image in it:

Facebook apologized to misinformation researchers for providing them with flawed, incomplete data for their work examining how users interact with posts and links on its platform, the New York Times reported. Contrary to what the company told the researchers, the data Facebook provided apparently only included information for roughly half of its users in the US, not all of them.

The Times reported that members of Facebook's Open Research and Transparency team held a call with researchers on Friday to apologize for the error. Some of the researchers questioned whether the mistake was intentional to sabotage the research, or simply an instance of negligence.

The flaw in the data was first discovered by a researcher at Italy's University...

The entertainment industry spends millions researching what we watch and why every year. As climate destruction and a global pandemic make it more difficult to turn away from our social media feeds, CBS has found a new way to exploit these horrors with its show "The Activist." Doomscrollers are their new audience.

According to Deadline, the five-week CBS reality series will "feature six inspiring activists teamed with three high-profile public figures working together to bring meaningful change to one of three vitally important world causes: health, education, and environment."

The show is perfectly timed: For the last few years, we have been stuck in a crisis loop. When California catches on fire, the...

A new post on Apple's Support forum says exposing iPhones to high-amplitude vibrations, "specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines" could degrade the devices' camera system. The company recommends against mounting an iPhone on a motorcycle, as the vibrations may be transmitted via the bike's handlebars and chassis.

Here's the technical explanation from Apple:

If you accidentally move a camera when you take a picture, the resulting image can be blurry. To prevent this, some iPhone models have optical image stabilization (OIS).1 OIS lets you take sharp photos even if you accidentally move the camera. With OIS, a gyroscope senses that the camera moved. To reduce image motion, and the resulting blur, the lens moves...
