| Microsoft is selling ugly Windows sweaters again, and this time, it’s Minesweeper Posted: 30 Nov 2021 03:22 PM PST  Microsoft has launched a new Windows software-themed ugly sweater on its Xbox Gear Shop dedicated to the infamous Windows game Minesweeper. It's well done: not only is the whole Minesweeper level shaped like a Christmas tree, but it's also got mines masquerading as snowflakes and "buttons" to minimize the window or exit the game if you so desire, plus the classic wavy Windows logo that hearkens back to Windows 3.1. (If you're wondering why the sweater has "1990" remaining mines, that's a reference to the year Minesweeper first came out.)
This is Microsoft's second year of Windows-themed... |
| Edge users aren’t happy about Microsoft’s built-in ‘buy now, pay later’ tool Posted: 30 Nov 2021 03:19 PM PST  Microsoft is tacking on a "buy now, pay later" extension to Edge that prompts users to use short-term financing service Zip (formerly QuadPay) when making a purchase on the browser. The company introduced the service earlier this month, and now some users are reportedly seeing it integrated into their browsers after updating to Edge version 96, as noted by Ars Technica. The option to sign up and use Zip will be displayed on checkout pages, appearing in the same area where you'd enter your credit card number on Edge (or access a previously used one), and will sometimes be ingrained in the checkout page itself. Zip will pop up when Edge detects that your purchase costs... |
| Amazon faces new pressure over COVID protections in warehouses Posted: 30 Nov 2021 03:01 PM PST  Amazon is facing new questions over failed COVID protections in its fulfillment centers, spurred on by New York Attorney General Letitia James. After more than a year of protests from workers and inquiries from legislators, James is now seeking a court order to require Amazon to appoint a monitor to oversee health and safety measures at its warehouse on Staten Island. As part of the same motion, James asked the company to reinstate fired worker Christian Smalls, who led public protests against Amazon last year, accusing the company of failing to keep employees from contracting the virus at work. According to James, Amazon has rolled back many of its health and safety measures at the warehouse, known as JFK8. The Staten Island warehouse,... |
| Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip is here to power the Android flagships of 2022 Posted: 30 Nov 2021 03:00 PM PST  Qualcomm has a new flagship smartphone processor: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, announced at the company's annual Snapdragon Tech Summit, giving an early preview at the brains behind the most powerful smartphones of 2022. The successor to last year's Snapdragon 888, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the first chipset to bear Qualcomm's new naming scheme (which the company had previously teased last week), ditching the triple-digit numbering system that Qualcomm has previously used for new, generation-based monikers. As is the case every year, Qualcomm is promising some major improvements in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, with better performance, camera technology, AI capabilities, security, and 5G. |
| Twitch will use machine learning to detect people evading bans Posted: 30 Nov 2021 02:00 PM PST  Twitch is furthering its efforts to reduce harassment with a new tool that uses machine learning to detect people who may be attempting to evade bans. It's the company's latest addition to combat things like hate raids, where streamers' chats are overrun with trolls sending hateful messages. The new tool, called Suspicious User Detection, can identify users as "likely" or "possible" people who have evaded bans from a streamer's channel. The machine learning model powering the tool identifies potential evaders by evaluating things such as their behavior and characteristics about their account and compares that information against accounts that have been banned from a streamer's channel. Messages from "likely" evaders won't be sent to... |
| The latest Quest update brings cloud backups and a mixed reality view Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:37 PM PST  Meta has delivered a new batch of features for Quest headsets in an update rolling out today. The changes include cloud backups, a mixed reality camera mode, and other settings that round out the Quest's already impressive feature set. I'm most excited about the cloud backups feature, which gives you a way to restore user-specific data to your apps, including game saves and headset settings, if you need to replace, update, or reset your Quest. This is one of those things that I'm surprised the Quest didn't support already, and I found out the hard way that it didn't a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, I'm glad that it's here now. It can be activated within the "Device" tab in the settings menu. The mixed reality camera also... |
| These transparent Apple prototypes clearly show the greatness of see-through gadgets Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:56 PM PST  Apple device collector Giulio Zompetti has photographed a prototype 29W Apple charging brick, and it may be one of the rare instances where the product-in-progress may look better than the final version. What makes it special is that you can literally see Apple's design process because of the clear plastic shell, unlike the retail version where the internals are hidden by opaque white plastic. Zompetti also tweeted another clear prototype, a pair of AirPods that live up to the "Air" name. The retro-futuristic look of the densely packed electronics makes me wish Apple would actually sell see-through gadgets again.

| Android 101: How to stop location tracking Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:53 PM PST  Location tracking can be very handy — it's convenient when an app can tell you, say, where the nearby restaurants or gas stations are — but it's also a privacy issue. Do you want all your wanderings registered by Google? Are you comfortable knowing that Mark Zuckerberg's minions know where you are at all times? (Well, not that Mark Zuckerberg has minions, but you know what I mean.) In this article, we'll take a look at how to stop location tracking on your Android phone (and your Google account) and how to delete your location history from your OS and from some of the more popular apps. As always, note that versions of Android can differ, and many manufacturers use overlays as well, which can change the locations of various commands —... |
| Why Red Notice was able to beat Bird Box as Netflix’s biggest movie debut ever Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:50 PM PST  Netflix's heist drama Red Notice has officially overthrown Bird Box as the streaming service's biggest movie debut to date, with over 328 million total hours viewed as of today. That beats out Bird Box's prior record — 282 million hours in its first 28 days — by a good margin, and Red Notice still has ample time to expand its debut-month record. That might seem like great news for Netflix: a movie it wanted to be a huge hit was in fact a huge hit. It commanded views up against an eight-hour Beatles documentary as well as big theatrical releases like a Ghostbusters spinoff and multiple titles from Disney. But the film's success isn't quite as remarkable as the numbers make it appear. Sure, the hours viewed figure indicates that... |
