| Pinterest settles lawsuit that alleged racial and gender discrimination Posted: 24 Nov 2021 07:09 PM PST  Pinterest has settled a lawsuit brought against it by shareholders who claimed that the company's workplace discrimination against women and racial minorities hurt its reputation, according to NBC News. The company reportedly agreed to spend $50 million on improving its diversity and equity, and will let former employees talk about racial or gender discrimination they experienced, even if they were bound by a non-disclosure agreement. Other financial details of the settlement weren't disclosed. The lawsuit was filed against the company's executives in November 2020, with shareholder claiming that the company was acting irresponsibly by doing nothing to address "widespread claims of race and gender discrimination." The complaint also... |
| You probably have better options than the candy bar-shaped monitor Posted: 24 Nov 2021 05:15 PM PST  Another day, another interesting gadget making the rounds on the internet — this one is a very tall (aspect ratio-wise anyway) portable monitor with an 8.8-inch display running at a resolution of 420 by 1920. It's called the Elsonic EK-MD088, and while its size, shape, and built-in stand make it intriguing, it also raises the question: what would you even use such a narrow monitor for? And are there better ways to spend your 14,800 yen (around $130 US dollars)? Gizmodo points out the most obvious use case for such a tall screen: it seems tailor-made for endlessly scrolling through Twitter or Instagram, keeping the gloom of the internet ever-present off to the side of your work. Honestly, that seems like a great way to destroy your brain... |
| Battle.net has recovered from DDoS attack, Blizzard says Posted: 24 Nov 2021 05:00 PM PST  Blizzard says that the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that were overwhelming its servers with coordinated traffic are over, and that you should be able to log into Battle.net again. During the almost hour-long Wednesday evening attack, you may have experienced serious issues trying to get onto the online service underpinning Overwatch, Call of Duty: Warzone, Hearthstone, Diablo's online features and more.
Blizzard stated that the issue was caused by a DDoS on its verified customer service Twitter account, and additionally in a "Breaking News"... |
| The new pro football NFT marketplace has a name: NFL All Day Posted: 24 Nov 2021 03:00 PM PST  It has been less than a year since NBA Top Shot served as an introduction for many sports fans into the world of NFTs, and now the NFL is lining up a similar arrangement. In September, the league announced a partnership with the company that runs Top Shot, Dapper Labs, and now we know the name of the service that will distribute the video highlight clips that make up the "Moments" that become NFTs: NFL All Day. This effort is separate from the Ticketmaster-powered NFTs that the NFL is tying to selected games this season (like the Lions' annual Thanksgiving appearance on national TV), but launching the branding now doesn't feel like a coincidence. There will be many blockchain and NFT discussions amongst family members on Thursday,... |
| Almost buying a copy of the Constitution is easy, but giving the money back is hard Posted: 24 Nov 2021 03:00 PM PST  As of last Thursday night, ConstitutionDAO found itself in possession of around $49.8 million it wasn't able to spend. The group's organizers only had a mandate to spend the crowdfunded money on one thing — a rare copy of the US Constitution that they failed to win at auction — so instead of trying to get community approval to use the money toward some other goal, they instead began the process of returning the funds to backers. Returning that much money has been a tricky process, though. Backers have to manually request refunds, so even a week later, tens of millions of dollars are still sitting in ConstitutionDAO's pockets. And because all of the money was collected in Ether, and sending funds over Ethereum incurs high transaction... |
| The Oculus Quest 2 comes with a free $50 gift card through Saturday Posted: 24 Nov 2021 02:33 PM PST  Updated 5:33PM ET, November 24th: Amazon now has an actual price cut on the 128GB model, dropping from $299.99 to $249.99. Not only can you currently get this price, but entering OCULUS50 at checkout will earn you a $50 Amazon credit. The Oculus Quest 2 standalone VR headset is a great value at its regular $299.99 price. It comes with 128GB of onboard storage, and once you log in with your Facebook account, there's little else standing in your way of finding some amazing virtual reality experiences and games. It's even more of an appealing holiday gift idea right now because you can get one with a $50 gift card tossed in at no extra charge through Black Friday until Saturday, November 27th. Several retailers are honoring this promotion,... |
| Black Friday 2021 smart home tech deals: speakers, cameras, robots, and more Posted: 24 Nov 2021 02:01 PM PST  There is never a better time to dive into the smart home than Black Friday and its close cousin Cyber Monday. Traditionally, tech deals on home gadgets are huge this time of year, plus, it's the only time you'll find real bargains on gear from some of the smaller companies, such as Eve, Level, and Nanoleaf. Whether you're thinking about dipping a toe into this home automation shindig with a smart speaker or maybe a connected door lock, or want to bolster an already impressive smart home setup, it's worth investing some cash this holiday season. Also, if you just want to upgrade your home cleaning routine or have a way to check in on Fido now that you're back at work (the separation anxiety is real), this is a good time to get a great... |
| Democrats’ plan to boost ‘tree equity’ is actually a good idea Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:14 PM PST  Trees have become a contentious piece of Democrats' Build Back Better Act, the budget reconciliation bill that encompasses sweeping social and environmental programs. Congressional Republicans have seized on the $3 billion in the proposed nearly $2 trillion bill earmarked for planting trees, with a focus on boosting 'tree equity' — despite the fact that this is a strategy that experts say could reduce health disparities in cities. While opponents have called the tree equity provisions an indicator of Democrats' "reckless spending spree" and a "waste [of] even more taxpayer dollars," in reality, disparities in tree coverage across American cities are a huge problem that affects heat exposure, air quality and more, with serious... |
| Macy’s is auctioning off Thanksgiving Day Parade NFTs, including this creepy elf Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:11 PM PST  Macy's department stores might be closed this Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean the company has run out of things to sell. The retailer is auctioning off 10 one-of-a-kind NFTs to mark the 95th year of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Each NFT references a parade balloon from decades past, going back to a black and white toy soldier from the 1920s. Also featured is an elf character from the 2000s and a spaceman from the 1950s, who lost an arm in the 1955 parade after colliding with a lamppost (the NFT version is fully inflated). Proceeds from the auction benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, with current bids generating tens of thousands of dollars. The auction ends on November 30th. In addition to the 10 unique NFTs, Macy's is... |
| US banking regulators are looking to clarify crypto rules in 2022 Posted: 24 Nov 2021 12:42 PM PST  The Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) have issued a joint statement announcing a plan to clarify the rules and regulations around how banks can use cryptocurrencies over the next year (via Bloomberg). The agencies say they're focusing on setting expectations for what banks can do when it comes to holding crypto, allowing customers to obtain crypto, issuing their own stablecoins (or cryptocurrencies whose value is tied to a fiat currency like the US dollar), and taking crypto as collateral for loans and keeping it on their balance sheets. According to the letter, the goal is to make sure consumers are protected and that banks act responsibly. The... |
