| PSA: You can stream Dune a day early on HBO Max Posted: 20 Oct 2021 04:33 PM PDT  After numerous delays — and considerable vitriol from director Denis Villeneuve himself — Dune is finally about to stream on HBO Max. In fact, it's arriving a day early: October 21st at 6PM ET / 3PM PT, a rep confirms to The Verge. Hope you're hearing soon enough to schedule your watch party! Note that you'll need to be paying for HBO Max's $15-a-month ad-free plan, since the $10 plan doesn't come with day-and-date Warner Bros. movie releases. We've had multiple Dune trailers at this point if you want to know what you're in for, and you can find two of them embedded below. The Verge's staff weighed in on the first trailer, and we'll have a review soon as well. And if you'd rather watch a 4K restoration of the original cult-classic... |
| Two SIM swappers phished a phone company so they could steal $16K in crypto Posted: 20 Oct 2021 03:57 PM PDT  Twenty-year-old Kyell Bryan of Pennsylvania has pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft for a SIM swapping and cryptocurrency theft scheme, according to the United States Attorney's Office of the District of Maryland. According to the initial indictment statement, in June 2019, Bryan, who was 19, conspired with Jordan K. Milleson, then 21, and others. The group engaged in phishing and vishing (voice phishing) to trick employees at an unnamed wireless operator into coughing up their login credentials. As Brian Krebs reported when Bryan and Milleson were indicted, they were active participants of the OGUsers trading forum, which has spawned similar phishing attacks against Twitter and others, usually with the intent of stealing and... |
| Twitch is testing a rewind button Posted: 20 Oct 2021 03:38 PM PDT  One of the appeals of Twitch is watching things unfold live, but I can't count the number of times I've wished I could scrub back to see something again or a moment I might have missed. Soon, though, Twitch may have a solution to that problem, as it's currently testing a new Rewind the Stream button with some users. When you hit the button, you'll be rewinded two minutes back in the stream, Twitch tells The Verge. From there, you can scrub through what's been streamed so far and even watch what you missed at different speeds, like you would with any other Twitch VOD (video on demand). If you hit the rewind button, you'll still be able to see what's happening in the live stream, thanks to a picture-in-picture window that will appear above... |
| Extreme heat is a growing concern for doctors around the world Posted: 20 Oct 2021 03:30 PM PDT  Extreme heat is a huge worry for doctors and public health experts around the world, and it's steadily become a bigger problem over time, according to a sweeping new climate report published today in the leading medical journal, The Lancet. The analysis, from 43 academic institutions and United Nations agencies, focuses on the threats the climate crisis poses to human health. While the group has published similar reports over the past five years, this is the first time it includes warnings on the impact hotter days have on mental health and physical activity. It follows an increase in devastating heatwaves around the world. "I saw paramedics who had burns on... |
| Segway’s ‘Mecha Kit’ turns your transporter into a rolling turret Posted: 20 Oct 2021 02:53 PM PDT  If you ever wanted to transform your self-balancing scooter into a mobile mini mech, now you can with Segway-Ninebot's Mecha Kit add-on. The kit is compatible with the Ninebot S and Ninebot S Kids and puts you in the pilot seat of your scooter-turned-turret. Once fitted onto your vehicle, you no longer have to stand up to drive. You can stay seated while you control your movement with dual joysticks and take aim at targets with beads of gel. And yes, it acts just like a mech — you're able to shoot the semi-evaporating bullets while driving, spinning and drifting around. If that still doesn't sound awesome enough, you can even customize the Mecha Kit's RGB underglow lighting, as well as switch... |
| Elon Musk’s Boring Company gets green light for Las Vegas tunnel system Posted: 20 Oct 2021 02:13 PM PDT  Elon Musk's Boring Company just won approval from local officials to move forward with building a network of vehicle tunnels underneath Las Vegas. Dubbed the "Vegas Loop," the system will allow passengers to hitch rides in Teslas to and from places like the hotel casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, the city's new football stadium, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and McCarran International Airport. The Boring Company already operates a small version of this "Teslas in Tunnels" system underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center, which opened earlier this year and involves two 0.8-mile tunnels. But Musk's startup proposed a massive city-wide expansion in December 2020 that largely lines up with what Clark County officials approved Wednesday. T... |
| FDA clears boosters for Moderna and J&J COVID-19 vaccines Posted: 20 Oct 2021 02:08 PM PDT  The Food and Drug Administration authorized booster doses for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, following its authorization of a third Pfizer / BioNTech shot in September. The agency also said today that it will allow "mix-and-match" boosters — eligible people who are already fully vaccinated can get a booster dose of any of the three vaccines, regardless of which they started with. As with the Pfizer / BioNTech booster, the FDA cleared third Moderna shots for vulnerable groups, including people 65 years of age and older, those who are at high risk of severe disease, and people at high risk of exposure to COVID-19 at work. The booster for the Moderna vaccine, though, will be a half-dose. Both vaccines are mRNA... |
| Amazon offers up more data to tell third-party sellers which items will be popular Posted: 20 Oct 2021 02:07 PM PDT  Amazon has announced a tool that will give sellers access to information about what shoppers are currently looking for and help make it easier to choose which products to create next. Amazon calls it the Product Opportunity Explorer and says that it'll give sellers access to data and trends that will help them "identify opportunities to launch new, high-potential products to serve unmet customer demand." With Amazon's track record of copying popular products and selling them under its Amazon Basics brand, an obvious concern with this tool is where the data is coming from and how granular it is. While Amazon quotes a seller saying that they're excited to get "recommendations specifically relevant" to their business, it's easy to imagine... |
| Posted: 20 Oct 2021 01:51 PM PDT  After Activision Blizzard requested a stay in the discrimination case brought against it by the state of California, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has filed its response. Activision Blizzard's request for a stay asserts that lawyers with the DFEH engaged in misconduct arising from a conflict of interest. According to the filing, some of the lawyers working on the case had previously worked on a separate case against the company when they were employed by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or EEOC). Such an arrangement, Activision Blizzard argues, is in violation of a California state bar conflict of interest rule. As a result, the discrimination case should be put on hold until the... |
| A first look at Microsoft’s new Windows 11 Android apps support Posted: 20 Oct 2021 01:42 PM PDT  Microsoft has released the first preview version of its Android apps support in Windows 11. It's available to testers in the Beta Channel version of Windows 11, which means you'll need to opt into the Windows Insider program to get access. I've installed the preview version on two systems — a gaming rig with a Core i9 11900K and Microsoft's Surface Pro X — to get a feel for exactly how well Android apps run on Windows 11. The experience of installing apps is very simple. Microsoft has partnered with Amazon, so the Microsoft Store will list apps but send you over to Amazon's Appstore app to get them installed or updated. This also installs a Windows Subsystem for Android in the background, which is the core technology that powers Android... |
