Nintendo releases Animal Crossing’s big 2.0 update early

The major 2.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is now available to download, which is somewhat surprising because Nintendo previously said it wouldn't be released until November 5th. That means you'll be able to dive into all the new features two days earlier than expected.

The free 2.0 update was announced last month in a Nintendo Direct presentation. It includes a ton of expanded functionality including new house exterior designs, boat tours to other islands, more item, storage, a "pro" camera mode, the ability to cook food with grown ingredients, and more. Perhaps the most anticipated addition is Brewster's coffee shop, a notable omission from the base game.

In addition to the free update Nintendo announced a $24.99 expansion...

When Sonos purchased a privacy-focused voice assistant Snips in 2019, it strongly implied that it planned to build an assistant that would "add to our customers' ease of use and control" instead of going head-to-head with bigger assistants from other big tech companies. Nearly two years later, we might be close to being using the company's homegrown assistant, as a Reddit user found code in the Sonos app that appears to show voice commands for Sonos Voice Control (via Protocol).

According to the code strings, you'll be able to do things like play and pause music, adjust the volume, and check your Sonos' battery. The Reddit user also found what looks to be the logo for Sonos' assistant and evidence suggesting you'll be able to have it...

Take-Two spent $53 million on a cancelled game that was never even announced

Posted: 03 Nov 2021 04:06 PM PDT

Mafia 3

Nestled in Take-Two Interactive's most recent earnings report was information that it was charged $53 million dollars for an unannounced title that has been cancelled.

"Cost of goods sold included a $53 million impairment charge related to the Company's decision not to proceed with further development of an unannounced title in its pipeline," Take-Two said in a press release.

The report did not name the title nor the affiliated studio that worked on it. However, according to a Bloomberg report, the cancelled title is from Mafia III developer Hangar 13. The California-based developer also released the Mafia: Definitive Edition in 2020.

The Bloomberg report says that according to sources at the studio, the game was codenamed Volt and...

Notability developer Ginger Labs announced today that, in a change of heart, its popular note-taking app wouldn't eventually require current users to switch to a subscription model. This news comes just two days after the developer announced a new subscription model where current app owners who wanted to keep the same features would be forced to start a $14.99 / month subscription by November 1st, 2022.

Notability rolled back its original Monday pricing announcement and today posted an update on its company blog addressing current customers:

Everyone who purchased Notability prior to our switch to subscription on November 1st, 2021 will have lifetime access to all existing features and any content previously purchased in the app.

Roku is booting Pornhub and cutting off other private channels

Posted: 03 Nov 2021 02:50 PM PDT

After Roku announced last week that it will soon remove non-certified channels from its service, it appears the change will close a loophole that allowed apps like Pornhub to exist on the platform.

The company announced last week that it would be removing so-called "non-certified channels" by March of 2022. The change comes as Roku introduces new tools for developers, including a new independent developer kit that operates separately from its primary software developer kit for commercial-use channels. It also announced that it's launching new beta testing capabilities that will allow app makers to run tests on their apps before making the changes live on the service.

The independent developer kit will allow developers to tinker with and...

Alexa’s October updates let your music follow you around the house

Alexa's October update introduces a number of new helpful commands that let you start listening to audio in one room and continue listening on an Echo device in another. There are a few different commands for this, and the ones you use will depend on your situation.

The first command lets you move audio between groups, also known as the smart speakers that you've assigned to specific locations throughout your home. Simply say, "Alexa, move my music to [desired group]," and you can transfer your podcast, radio show, or music to the room that you plan on spending time in.

You can also continue listening to audio when you walk out the door — keep in mind that you'll need a pair of Echo Buds in order for this to work. Once your Echo Buds are...

Google is reportedly "aggressively" working on winning a contract with the Pentagon, even though some of its previous Department of Defense work sparked major backlash from employees, according to The New York Times. According to the report, Google's Cloud division has reassigned engineers to work on a proposal for Google to contribute to the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability program, which the DoD describes as an attempt to "achieve dominance in both traditional and non-traditional warfighting domains."

The contract Google is reportedly looking into is one that will open to multiple companies to submit proposals and do work for, and the DoD estimates it could be a multi-billion dollar project. In a document describing what cloud...

Boeing gets green light for satellite internet constellation

Posted: 03 Nov 2021 01:20 PM PDT

The Federal Communications Commission has authorized a satellite internet project from Boeing first proposed in 2017. Boeing can now move forward with building, launching, and operating its own broadband internet network from space, joining its main aerospace competitor SpaceX.

Boeing's plan involves placing 132 satellites into low Earth orbit at an altitude of 1,056 kilometers (about 656 miles). Another 15 will be launched to "non geostationary orbit" at an altitude between 27,355 and 44,221 km (16,998 to 27,478 miles). The company says it wants to use the satellites to offer "broadband internet and communications services to residential consumers, government and business users in the United States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin...

How to create a signature for PDF documents on an iPhone

More and more official papers are being turned into PDF documents, and you may be asked to sign one electronically while you're away from your computer (here, by the way, is how to sign a PDF document using a Mac or a PC). If you're using an iPhone, it's actually not all that difficult; you can create a signature and reuse it by using the iPhone's built-in Markup tool.

Here's what to do:

  • Open the PDF document in Markup.
  • Tap the plus sign at the bottom right.
  • Tap on the Signature button.
  • If you haven't created any signatures yet, tap on the label at the top titled "New Signature." (If you don't see "New Signature," tap the plus sign in the upper left corner.)
In Markup, tap on the plus and then the Signature button.

‘Sideloading is a cyber criminal’s best friend,’ according to Apple’s software chief

Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:42 PM PDT

"Sideloading is a cyber criminal's best friend and requiring that on iPhone would be a gold rush for the malware industry," according to Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi, who delivered a dramatic speech at Web Summit 2021 declaiming the security risks if Apple were required to let users sideload apps.

Federighi, who oversees Apple's iOS and macOS software divisions, was specifically protesting the European Commission's proposed Digital Markets Act, which, if passed, would require Apple to let users install apps outside of the iOS App Store. According to Federighi, the lack of sideloading is what separates Apple's relatively low rate of malware on iOS from the "5 million Android attacks per month," and that if Apple were...
