| Amazon Astro is ‘terrible’ and will ‘throw itself down’ stairs, developers reportedly claim Posted: 28 Sep 2021 07:11 PM PDT  Some of the people building Amazon's Astro home robot are not impressed with it, according to a report by Vice. One person who worked on the robot, which was announced today, reportedly called it a "disaster that's not ready for release," while another said it was "terrible," and the idea that it'd be a useful accessibility device (part of Amazon's pitch is that Astro can help with elder care) was "absurdist nonsense." The sources also mentioned that the bot doesn't handle stairs well, with one even saying that it would "throw itself down" them "if presented the opportunity." To make matters worse, Vice also reports that the robot is fragile and that several devices had broken. That's not great news for a $1,000 (or $1,449) robot that... |

| You can change your Nest doorbell ringtone starting next month Posted: 28 Sep 2021 04:51 PM PDT  Google Nest is bringing back seasonal ringtones for its video doorbells, which now include the Nest Doorbell (wired) — previously known as Nest Hello — and the new Nest Doorbell (battery). First up are Halloween-inspired tones, which will stick around through October, then the winter holiday-themed options arrive. For the past three years Nest has offered them, the ringtones have disappeared following the holidays, leaving you with the standard ding dong. But this year, the new Nest Doorbell will also get six "evergreen" ringtones that are usable year-round. They will arrive with the Halloween options, but Google tells me they aren't coming to the older Nest Doorbell (wired). The spooky-themed ringtones should arrive on October 1st and... |
| Amazon’s Astro cannot fetch your beer Posted: 28 Sep 2021 04:38 PM PDT  Amazon introduced a new robot today with the face of an Echo Show, the sensor-laden body of Panera Bread delivery bot, and a pair of cupholders for a trunk. The instant it was announced, people clamored for a reason for its existence beyond "mobile camera with a cute face" and "potentially invasive surveillance drone." Most seemed to settle on "beer fetcher." But friend, a pair of cupholders does not a robowaiter make. While the $1,000 Astro could very well have a wide variety of capabilities beyond home surveillance, it's not gonna be fetching you anything. For one, it reportedly sucks. "Astro is terrible and will almost certainly throw itself down a flight of stairs if presented the opportunity," a source who claimed to work on the... |
| Elon Musk slams Biden as ‘not the friendliest’ after White House EV summit snub Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:50 PM PDT  Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk criticized President Joe Biden as "not the friendliest administration" after the White House snubbed his company last month. Musk's comments came during a Code Conference interview and followed a tweet in which the Tesla CEO mocked Biden using similar insults as former President Donald Trump. The Biden administration invited auto executives to the White House last month to discuss the shared goal of increasing the production of electric vehicles. Top officials from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis were invited. But Tesla, which is the largest EV maker in the world, was not. One potential reason that Tesla wasn't invited is that its factory workforce is not unionized, while... |
| Elon Musk: ‘we probably don’t need’ NDAs for Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ beta Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:46 PM PDT  Tesla has been making participants in the "Full Self-Driving" beta test sign non-disclosure agreements, but CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday "we probably don't need" them. The reason? "There's a lot of videos" being shared of the beta software in action, Musk said on Tuesday during the 2021 Code Conference. "People don't seem to listen to me" and are "just ignoring it anyway." "I don't know why there's an NDA," he said. Tesla has had a small group of owners testing out the beta version of its "Full Self-Driving" software — which, despite the name, does not make the company's cars fully autonomous — on public roads for about a year now. But this week, Vice reported that the company makes participants in the program sign NDAs. These agreements... |
| Facebook’s research on kids even considered turning playdates into growth drivers Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:34 PM PDT  Facebook's interest in understanding and eventually acquiring younger users extends well beyond Messenger Kids or the currently paused plans for a child-friendly Instagram. A new report in The Wall Street Journal's series on Facebook's internal research shows the company's focus on kids goes much deeper, including studying children younger than four years old in the hopes of better designing future products. The company's child research is primarily motivated by the success of apps like TikTok and Snapchat in attracting younger users. "With the ubiquity of tablets and phones, kids are getting on the internet as young as six years old. We can't ignore this and we have a responsibility to figure it out," a confidential Facebook document... |
| Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos: ‘you cannot sue your way to the Moon’ Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:17 PM PDT  Elon Musk isn't happy that fellow mega-billionaire Jeff Bezos keeps suing to stop SpaceX's projects, and he shared a message for the Amazon founder during the 2021 Code Conference on Tuesday: "you cannot sue your way to the Moon, no matter how good your lawyers are." Musk was responding to a question from journalist Kara Swisher about how Bezos' space company, Blue Origin, recently sued to block a contract NASA gave SpaceX to develop a lunar lander. Amazon has also protested SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites with the Federal Communications Commission. Swisher asked Musk Tuesday if he has spoken to Bezos about the legal fights. "Not verbally, just... subtweets," Musk said. (In August, Musk tweeted: "Turns out Besos [sic] retired in... |
| You can now queue to purchase a PS5 at Sony (update: sold out) Posted: 28 Sep 2021 03:16 PM PDT  Update September 28th, 6:52PM ET: Sony has sold out of the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition for the day. We'll make sure to let you know when the next opportunity comes up. Nearly a year after making its debut, the PlayStation 5 remains notoriously difficult to get your hands on. Sony has been one of the most reliable retailers when it comes to console restocks, however, and the company often opens its online queue for customers who don't mind waiting for a chance to secure Sony's next-gen console. If you want to have another go at it, Sony has reopened the queue for ordering the disc-based PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition via its direct store. You don't have to refresh the landing page once you've arrived — just wait it out — but we do... |
| Netflix scoops up Oxenfree developer Night School Posted: 28 Sep 2021 02:33 PM PDT  Netflix is continuing its push into video games with the acquisition of Night School Studio, the team best-known for 2016's Oxenfree and 2019's Afterparty. (Oxenfree, it should be noted, had strong Stranger Things vibes — and Night School also previously worked on a canceled Stranger Things title.) "Night School wants to stretch our narrative and design aspirations across distinctive, original games with heart," Night School's Sean Krankel said in a statement. "Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix's track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like... |
