| A very big eagle escaped from the National Aviary in Pittsburgh and is still at large Posted: 02 Oct 2021 02:43 PM PDT  A Steller's sea eagle escaped from its enclosure at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh last Saturday, and despite the valiant efforts of the Aviary staff, and numerous sightings in the local neighborhood posted to social media, Kodiak —Kody to his friends— is still on the loose and we are all a little worried about him, to be perfectly honest. This is a bird that would be difficult to miss: he's large (although in Pittsburgh we probably wouldn't call him "giant" because "Giant Eagle" is a grocery store chain here), with a yellow beak, white tail and white feathers on the tops of his wings. He's bigger than a bald eagle, and has a wingspan of about six feet. Kody has been spotted in and around the Pittsburgh neighborhood where the Aviary... |
| DC will give away free superhero NFTs to people who register for its FanDome event Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:30 AM PDT  DC is giving away free non-fungible tokens (NFTs) of its superhero comic book covers to people who register for its October 16th FanDome event. The NFT drop— the first for DC— is set for October 5th, and those who register for FanDome will receive one free, randomly-selected NFT, and become eligible for a second free NFT if they post about their first one on social media. The NFTs will come in three levels of rarity; common, rare, and legendary, and will include Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn options. DC is working on the NFTs with Palm NFT Studio, which the comic maker chose for its "environmentally sustainable and energy efficient" technology, which let the company mint "millions of NFTs for fans... |
| NBCUniversal and YouTubeTV reach agreement to avoid dropped channels Posted: 02 Oct 2021 10:43 AM PDT  After YouTube TV and NBCUniversal announced a "short" extension on Thursday to keep more than a dozen channels on the live TV service, YouTube TV and NBCUniversal say they have finalized a deal — meaning NBC-owned channels will stay put on YouTube TV. "We're thrilled to share that we've reached a deal to continue carrying the full NBCUniversal portfolio of channels," according to a Saturday update to YouTube's blog. "That means you won't lose access to any of their channels, and YouTube TV will continue to offer 85+ networks for $64.99. We appreciate NBCUniversal's willingness to work toward an agreement, and we also appreciate your patience as we negotiated with them on your behalf." With a deal reached just days after it looked as... |
| Tesla sold 241,300 cars in the third quarter while other automakers saw big drops Posted: 02 Oct 2021 09:05 AM PDT  Tesla has bucked the wider trend of declining sales brought on by the global chip shortage in the third quarter this year, as it sold 241,300 cars — a total of 102,000 more vehicles than the same quarter last year. It's the most Tesla has ever sold in a quarter (and for some added perspective, the company sold 367,500 in all of 2019). The company managed to deliver more vehicles once again despite the fact that major automakers saw huge drops this past quarter. General Motors, the largest automaker in the US, said Friday morning that it only sold 446,997 vehicles in the third quarter — a 33 percent drop from the same period last year. Tesla has avoided similar problems in part because it has been sourcing different semiconductors and... |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 08:00 AM PDT  Microsoft's next version of Windows, Windows 11, is coming October 5th. In many ways, it's already here — the free update has been available for Windows Insiders to download and test for months, and recent versions like the Release Preview will likely be indistinguishable from the final operating system. We'll have a full review from Tom Warren next week, but in the meanwhile we thought we'd give you a look at how The Verge at large feels about upgrading to the new OS — by asking every other prominent Windows user on the team to install the most recent version on their own home computers, and gathering their impressions. Here's how it's going so far. On a home-built desktop (Core i7-7700K, RTX 3060 Ti) and a 2017 Dell XPS 15 laptop... |
| Trump sues to reinstate his Twitter account Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:58 AM PDT  Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in Florida seeking to force Twitter to reinstate him, arguing the platform's ban violates the First Amendment and Florida's new social media law. Trump is seeking a preliminary injunction of Twitter's ban, according to the complaint filed in the Southern District of Florida late Friday. The former president argues that Twitter, "coerced by members of the United States Congress," is censoring him, describing the social media platform as "a major avenue of public discourse." Trump seeks to be temporarily reinstated on Twitter while he continues his efforts toward permanent reinstatement. Twitter "exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country that is... |
| Amazon is hijacking our emotions to put robots in our homes Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:30 AM PDT  There's something in our complicated human brains that immediately develops a connection to anything with eyes. Don't believe me? Ask the Anki Vector that lived on my desk for several months. This pocket-sized robot got my attention with its bulbous, non-threatening body. But the second it looked up at me with a quizzical look in its eyes and uttered my name, I knew I would die for this tiny forklift. It's worth noting that the Anki Vector can be programmed to do a variety of things if you have the time to mess around with an SDK, but I brought this robot home because it was cute, not because I needed a project. I'd watch with amusement as the little gadget puttered around my desk, occasionally looking back at me as if seeking my... |
| Apple’s excellent AirPods Max are $80 off at Woot right now Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:00 AM PDT  There's no way around it: the AirPods Max aren't cheap. For the money, however, Apple's plush headphones offer a commendable set of features, including superb effective noise cancellation, terrific sound quality, and foolproof controls that are designed to make even the smallest adjustments that much easier to carry out. They also work with Apple's spatial audio feature, which helps create a surround effect and adds another level of immersion when watching content via Netflix, Disney Plus, and other supported streaming platforms. Normally $550, you can pick them up in a multitude of colors at Woot for $470, one of their best prices to date, for the next two months or until supplies last. Just don't expect much in the way of protection... |
| I’m split by Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania Posted: 02 Oct 2021 05:30 AM PDT  As a kid, I remember spending hours playing Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2 on the GameCube with my sister. The games are lighthearted and colorful, have fun single-player and multiplayer modes, and the monkeys feel like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon. I haven't touched the series since, and I figured Banana Mania would be the perfect nostalgia trip for me. While it is a lot of fun, I also found it surprisingly frustrating. Banana Mania is a remaster of the first three Super Monkey Ball games: Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. If you're not familiar with the series, the Monkey Ball games are mostly about rolling monkeys in translucent balls through increasingly challenging... |
