| Delaying Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos fraud trial is paying off for the defense Posted: 01 Oct 2021 04:58 PM PDT  'Do I have an independent recollection of when I sent this email from seven years ago?' |
| Electric vehicle maker Rivian has filed to go public Posted: 01 Oct 2021 03:41 PM PDT  Electric vehicle maker Rivian, backed by Ford and Amazon, filed for an initial public offering on Friday on the Nasdaq exchange. The company filed its IPO confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August, and it was made public today. According to the S-1 filed with the SEC, Rivian had a net loss of $994 million on revenue of zero for the first half of 2021. Its net loss for full year 2020 was $1.02 billion, the filing shows. The company expects to trade under the ticker symbol RIVN. "We are a development stage company and have not generated material revenue to date," Rivian writes in the filing. "Vehicle production and deliveries began in September 2021." We recently tried its first consumer vehicle, the R1T electric... |
| Ozy Media shuts down just one week after most of us found out it exists Posted: 01 Oct 2021 03:04 PM PDT  In the space of six days and five New York Times reports from media columnist Ben Smith, Ozy Media has gone from a largely unknown content producer to closing its doors. The eight-year-old media startup was unrecognizable to most. It operated in anonymity despite a roster including some well-known journalists, the high-profile guests who appeared on CEO Carlos Watson's show, or NYC subway riders who were occasionally inundated with advertisements for its Ozyfest event. If you don't follow too many reporters on Twitter, you might not have heard, but last weekend the first New York Times report revealed two shocking things about Ozy... |
| Xbox is making it easier to find accessible games in its stores Posted: 01 Oct 2021 02:30 PM PDT  Xbox is making it easier to find accessibility information for games, according to an announcement from the company at its Accessibility Showcase. Games in the Microsoft store will have accessibility feature tags, so players with disabilities can make sure games have the features they need before buying or downloading them. The tags are appearing in the store for members of the Xbox Accessibility Insiders League (XAIL) starting today and will eventually roll out to all Xbox users. The tags address an issue commonly expressed by players with disabilities: they often have to do their own research to figure out which games they can play. Listing certain features in the store consolidates information that can be frustrating to track down,... |
| Sony is offering free trials of Death Stranding and Sackboy in the UK Posted: 01 Oct 2021 02:22 PM PDT  Sony appears to be reintroducing an old concept for two of its newer Playstation 5 games — game trials. Sony will now let you try the PS5 versions of Death Stranding: Director's Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure for free if you live in the United Kingdom, for six hours and five hours, respectively. PlayStation owners first spotted Sony's new offer via email. "Ever wanted to try some of the most popular games from PlayStation Studios before committing to the full game? Now you can," the email reads. Sony says the games are redeemable on the PlayStation Store until October 28th at 11:59PM, and the trial starts as soon as you select "Download Trial" on console or "Add to Library" on the web. The Verge has reached out to Sony for more... |
| How to switch languages using the Android Gboard keyboard Posted: 01 Oct 2021 01:47 PM PDT  Learning a new language on an Android device? If the language uses a different alphabet or employs accents that your primary language does not, you may need to add a new software keyboard to your phone. Luckily, Google's standard Gboard keyboard includes a plethora of language-related keyboards; at last count, it offered over 500 languages over 40 different writing systems. If you've already installed Gboard in the US, you're likely already set up with US English. But it's not difficult to add one or more new keyboards and quickly switch from one language to another. Here's how to install and use one or more of the many languages available. (Note: this was tried out using a Pixel 3 phone and Android 12; your interface may vary.) First,... |

| Go read this story about the parents fighting to stop drug deals on Snapchat Posted: 01 Oct 2021 01:20 PM PDT  NBC has an excellent story that takes a look at the trend of young adults attempting to buy prescription or recreational drugs from dealers on Snapchat — and ending up with fentanyl instead. The report tells the story from the perspective of several parents who have lost children and who suspect that they bought the pills using the popular chatting app. It also goes into how Snapchat is trying to deal with the problem and the difficulties that come with that moderation, both for parents and law enforcement. Some parents suspect their children were trying to obtain painkillers to deal with various pains that weren't being addressed by doctors or dentists, while some say their kids were trying to escape a world of emotional turmoil. In at... |
| CDC emails show that vaccine cards are supposed to fit in your wallet Posted: 01 Oct 2021 01:05 PM PDT  Since the dawn of time (around five or six months ago), people all over the world (Twitter users in the United States) have been puzzling over a very important question: why doesn't the COVID-19 vaccine card fit in a wallet?
The card is too big for a standard wallet card slot and, as Amanda Mull pointed out in The Atlantic, still small enough that it'd be easy to lose. It's like a reverse Goldilocks: just wrong. A handful of people speculated to Mull in August that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might not have thought about the size of the cards all that much. But it turns out... |
| Discord is ending its Stage Discovery tool but says Stage Channels are doing well Posted: 01 Oct 2021 12:52 PM PDT  Discord said Friday it's going to sunset its Stage Discovery tool on October 4th, less than six months after it launched. Rolled out in June, Stage Discovery was designed to help users find its social audio rooms called Stage Channels. It used machine learning to curate a list of channels a user might be interested in joining. Stage Channels have been a hit, Discord says, but it's been keeping an eye on Stage Discovery to evaluate whether it's meeting its goal of helping people find community. "In listening to our communities and admins directly, we've learned that we still have work to do in regards to server onboarding and moderation," Discord said in a release announcing the decision. "We're going to take some time to rethink the... |
