| SVP of Android offers open invitation to help Apple put RCS texting on the iPhone Posted: 07 Oct 2021 07:10 PM PDT  In a tweet earlier today, Google SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer called on Apple to support RCS, the next-generation texting standard that's supposed to supplant SMS. He offered an "open invitation to the folks who can make this right" and said "we are here to help." Translation: the "folks" are Apple and "we are here to help" is Google's offer to assist Apple in implementing the new standard. RCS is finally starting to gain traction around the world. Its biggest champion has been Google, which finally landed on using it as the default texting solution for Android phones after trying every other solution. RCS is far from perfect, but it's clearly superior to SMS (which is, of course, a low bar). After securing deals from US carriers to commit to... |
| YouTube says its auto livestream captions are now available for all creators Posted: 07 Oct 2021 06:14 PM PDT  YouTube has announced that its automatic livestream captions should now be available for all creators, instead of being limited to channels with more than 1,000 subscribers like they were during the feature's initial rollout. This change, along with some future improvements the company details in its blog, should help make the platform more accessible to deaf or hard-of-hearing people. Some of those updates include making live auto captions available to 12 more languages instead of just English (including Japanese, Turkish, and Spanish), the ability to add multiple audio tracks to a video to support multiple languages (and audio descriptions for those with limited eyesight), and the expansion of the auto-translate captions feature to... |
| California just made it a lot harder for companies to cover up harassment and abuse Posted: 07 Oct 2021 05:53 PM PDT  California governor Gavin Newsom signed the Silenced No More Act on Thursday night— a historic piece of legislation, authored by state senator Connie Leyva (D-Chino), that should protect workers who speak out about harassment and discrimination even if they've signed a non-disclosure agreement. Pinterest whistleblower Ifeoma Ozoma began pushing the bill forward last year, after coming forward with allegations of racism against the tech company. She knew she was partially protected by the Stand Together Against Non-Disclosures Act, a Me Too-era law that banned NDAs in sexual harassment cases, but soon realized the bill did not provide protections for other forms of abuse. Now, that's changing. Workers in California will be legally... |
| A friendly reminder that Hulu’s price is going up October 8th Posted: 07 Oct 2021 04:41 PM PDT  Hulu's prices are going up beginning Friday, October 8th for both its monthly and annual subscription tiers. It was initially reported in September that Hulu's monthly cost would increase by $1 per month or $10 per year (ad-supported) to $7 monthly (ad-supported), $13 monthly (no-ads), and $70 per year, respectively. Both Hulu's base ad-supported and ad-free monthly subscription prices are going up in price by a dollar, but neither of its live TV tiers will be impacted. (Those plans got a price increase late last year.) In a recent email to subscribers, Hulu wrote that the price hike "will be reflected in your first billing cycle on or after October 8." Users will be charged the new price unless they cancel their subscription on or... |
| Nintendo engineers suggest Switch Joy-Con drift will never be fixed Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:58 PM PDT  One of the Nintendo Switch's persistent flaws has been Joy-Con drift, a phenomenon where players observe false inputs when they aren't even touching the joysticks on the controllers. Nintendo has been relatively quiet on the subject for years, and the company refused to say whether the new OLED-equipped Nintendo Switch OLED had fixed the issue. But today, the company is breaking its silence in a big way — and suggesting that Joy-Con drift may never be fully addressed. In a new Q&A about the development of the Nintendo Switch OLED, the company reveals that it has steadily been making improvements to the Joy-Cons to try and make them more reliable. The joysticks that came with 2019's Switch Lite aren't the same as those in the original... |
| Microsoft has promised to actively look into right to repair Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:33 PM PDT  Microsoft has agreed to have an independent third-party study the potential impact of it making its devices easier to repair and to make changes based on those findings by the end of 2022, according to Grist and the shareholder advocacy group As You Sow. The agreement was made after As You Sow filed a shareholder resolution asking Microsoft to look into the potential impact that it could make by making it easier for consumers to get their devices repaired. As You Sow has withdrawn its resolution in return for Microsoft conducting the study and making parts and documentation more available to repair shops that aren't official Microsoft service providers based on the study's results. As You Sow calls Microsoft's commitment "an encouraging... |
| Tesla is moving its headquarters to Austin, Texas Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:30 PM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Thursday that the company is moving its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, where it has been building a new factory for a little more than a year. Musk said Tesla will continue to operate its electric vehicle factory in Fremont, CA, and that he even plans to try and increase production there by 50 percent. "Just to be clear, though, we will be continuing to expand our activities in California," he said during the company's annual shareholder meeting. "So this is not a matter of Tesla leaving California." The move means Tesla's home will no longer be the state where its vehicles are the most popular; instead, Tesla will be headquartered in a state where it can't legally sell its cars directly to... |
| Ireland’s status as tax haven for tech firms like Google, Facebook, and Apple is ending Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:14 PM PDT  Ireland said Thursday it would join an international agreement that sets taxes on profits for multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15 percent. This is a major shift for the country that is the European headquarters for many large US pharmaceutical companies, as well as tech firms, including Google, Apple, and Facebook. An increase from Ireland's current 12.5 percent to 15 percent may not seem that large by itself. The so-called Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Inclusive Framework agreement, outlined in July, is actually a two-pillar plan aimed at helping end tax avoidance and making international tax rules fairer and more transparent. The OECD has estimated that a 15 percent tax rate would generate... |
| The easy way to install Windows 11 on unsupported CPUs Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:12 PM PDT  Did you take one look at our hefty Windows 11 upgrade checklist and nope right out of there? It turns out there's a dramatically easier way to install Windows 11 on computers with older CPUs — with no need to reformat your drive, erase your files, or even burn the ISO to an external USB drive. If you're currently seeing "This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements" or "The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11," there's a Microsoft-approved registry hack that should instantly make it better. (We've tested this method working on a Dell XPS 15 with Core i7-7700HQ and a Microsoft Surface Go with Pentium Gold 4415Y, neither of which are on Microsoft's compatibility list.) Here's the whole process from start... |
| Firefox’s address bar has ads now, but you can disable them Posted: 07 Oct 2021 03:05 PM PDT  Mozilla introduced a new suggested search result feature in the Firefox address bar as part of the 93.0 release of its browser. That's not too surprising — Firefox Suggest, Mozilla's feature for "surfacing relevant information and sites to help you accomplish your goals," is similar to suggestions offered by most browsers. But as How-To Geek spotted in the company's support pages, it also includes content from paid advertisers. "When contextual suggestions are enabled, Firefox Suggest uses your city location and search keywords to make contextual suggestions from Firefox and our partners, while keeping your privacy in mind," the support post reads. The "relevant suggestions" from "trusted partners" appear at the bottom of the usual... |
